More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

Image
It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to affirm whatever he pleases but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The church of the Lord is spread over all the globe, and is thus universal and all those are in it who have lived in the good of charity in accordance with their religion.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Marriages on earth--because they are the seminaries of the human race and of the angels of heaven also because, likewise, they proceed from a spiritual origin, that is, from the marriage of good and truth and since, in addition, the Lord's divine proceeding principally flows into conjugal love--are most holy in the estimation of the angels.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Charity is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Man was so created by the Lord as to be able while living in the body to speak with spirits and angels, as in fact was done in the most ancient times for, being a spirit clothed with a body, he is one with them
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Charity itself consists in acting justly and faithfully in whatever office, business and employment a person is engaged in.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
What is true is true, and what is false is false.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Angelic happiness is in service, from service, and according to service.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Man, before he is being regenerated, does not even know that any internal man exists, much less is he acquainted with its nature and quality.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
God created us in such a way that our inner self is in the spiritual world and our outer self is in the physical world. This was so that the spiritual part of us, which belongs in heaven, could be planted in the physical part the way a seed is planted in the ground.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
For the judgment was accomplished not only upon all the men of the Christian church, but also upon all who are called Mohammedans, and, moreover, upon all the Gentiles in the whole world.
