Love comes into being through...

Love comes into being through useful service to others.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

If love is not married to wis...

If love is not married to wisdom (or if goodness is not married to truth), it cannot accomplish anything.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

And as the Divine that goes f...

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 141 quotes

In the spiritual body moreove...

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 141 quotes

The angels taken collectively...

The angels taken collectively are called heaven, for they constitute heaven; and yet that which makes heaven in general and in particular is the Divine that goes forth from the Lord and flows into the angels and is received by them.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

The act of exploring what the...

The act of exploring what the men are, and moreover the separation of the good from the evil, is visitation; and the good are then removed, and the evil are left behind.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

Man was so created by the Lor...

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 141 quotes

This Divine truth flows into ...

This Divine truth flows into heaven from the Lord from His Divine love.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

The human race is the basis o...

The human race is the basis on which heaven is founded, is because man was last created, and that which is last created is the basis of all that precedes.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

That every man after the life...

That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

For in every particular of th...

For in every particular of the Word there is an internal sense which treats of things spiritual and heavenly, not of things natural and worldly, such as are treated of in the sense of the letter.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

In the Christian world... it ...

In the Christian world... it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them; and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

There are angels that receive...

There are angels that receive more interiorly the Divine that goes forth from the Lord, and others that receive it less interiorly; the former are called celestial angels, and the latter spiritual angels.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

For the spiritual sense of th...

For the spiritual sense of the Word treats everywhere of the spiritual world, that is, of the state of the church in the heavens, as well as in the earth; hence the Word is spiritual and Divine.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

First of all it must be known...

First of all it must be known who the God of heaven is, since upon that all the other things depend.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

To have dominion by religion,...

To have dominion by religion, is to have dominion over men's souls, thus over their very spiritual life, and to use the Divine things, which are in their religion, as the means.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

The quality of the Lord's chu...

The quality of the Lord's church on earth, cannot be seen by any man, so long as he lives in the world, still less how the church in process of time has turned aside from good to evil.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

I am well aware that many wil...

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 141 quotes

He who is in evil, is also in...

He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.

Emanuel Swedenborg 141 quotes

Love consists in desiring to ...

Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
