More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
We are, because God is.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
Emanuel Swedenborg
A heavenly society is a harmony of many.
Emanuel Swedenborg
A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Moreover, no one is judged from the natural man, thus not so long as he lives in the natural world, for man is then in a natural body but everyone is judged in the spiritual man, and therefore when he comes into the spiritual world, for man is then in a spiritual body.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
That all who have ever been born men from the beginning of creation, and are deceased, are either in heaven or in hell, follows from those things which have been said and shown in the preceding article, namely, that Heaven and Hell are from the human race.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
And as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The activity of love and faith is what makes heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The sky is an enormous man.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Seen in its own right, a loving person's inner spirit is an angel of heaven, and while we are living in the body we are also in the company of angels, even though we are not aware of it and once we are released from the body we join them.
