Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 4 4. In the Christian Churches, however, there are many who teach that faith alone saves, and not any good of life, or good work, and they add that evil of life or evil work does not condemn those who have been justified by faith alone, because such are in God and in grace. Wonderful to say, however, although they teach such things, they nevertheless acknowledge (in consequence of a perception from... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=4 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 14 14. From what has been said in the Doctrine of the Holy Scripture (n. 27-28, 38), it may be seen that what is highest, what is intermediate, and what is last, make a one, like end, cause, and effect; and that because they make a one, the end itself is called the first end, the cause the intermediate end, and the effect the last end. From this it must be evident that in the case of a man who posses... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=14 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 63 63. A religious tenet has prevailed to the effect that no one is able to fulfill the law; the law being not to kill, not to commit adultery, not to steal, and not to bear false witness. Every civic man and moral man is able to fulfill these commandments of the law by a civic and moral life; but this tenet denies that he can do so by a spiritual life; from which it follows that his not doing these... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=63 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 89 89. In proportion as anyone loves the truth, in the same proportion he desires to know it, and in the same proportion is affected at heart when he finds it. No one else comes into wisdom. And in proportion as anyone loves to do the truth, in the same proportion he is sensible of the pleasantness of the light in which the truth is. It is the same with all the other things spoken of above; with sinc... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=89 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 111 111. There are various and many causes that make a man moral in the outward form, but unless he is moral in the inward form also, he is nevertheless not moral. For example: if a man abstains from adulteries and whoredom from the fear of the civil law and its penalties; from the fear of losing his good name and esteem; from the fear of the consequent diseases; from the fear of his wife's tongue in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=111 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 33 33. There are many causes why man has not known of this state of his after death; one of which is, that he could not be enlightened, so little faith had he in the immortality of the soul; as may appear from many even of the learned, who believe that they are like beasts, only more perfect than they, in being able to speak; and therefore in their heart they deny the life after death, although they... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=33 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 72 72. Many of them are receptive of truth, and they see justice in reasons, as I was enabled to observe from conversations with them in the spiritual world. I spoke with them concerning the One God, the resurrection, and marriage. Of the One God they said, that they do not comprehend the Christians when speaking of the Trinity, and saying that there are three Persons, and that each Person is God, an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=72 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 1 1. PART FIRST. LOVE IS THE LIFE OF MAN. Man knows that there is such a thing as love, but he does not know what love is. He knows that there is such a thing as love from common speech, as when it is said, he loves me, a king loves his subjects, and subjects love their king, a husband loves his wife, a mother her children, and conversely; also, this or that one loves his country, his fe... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=1 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 7 7. THE DIVINE IS NOT IN SPACE. That the Divine, that is, God, is not in space, although omnipresent and with every man in the world, and with every angel in heaven, and with every spirit under heaven, cannot be comprehended by a merely natural idea, but it can by a spiritual idea. It cannot be comprehended by a natural idea, because in the natural idea there is space; since it is formed out... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=7 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 10 10. It has been said that in the spiritual world, just as in the natural world, there appear to be spaces, consequently also distances, but that these are appearances according to spiritual affinities which are of love and wisdom, or of good and truth. From this it is that the Lord, although everywhere in the heavens with angels, nevertheless appears high above them as a sun. Furthermore, since re... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=10 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 30 30. It is because the Divine Essence itself is Love and Wisdom that man has two capacities for life; from one of these he has understanding, from the other will. The capacity from which he has understanding derives everything it has from the influx of wisdom from God, and the capacity from which he has will derives everything it has from the influx of love from God. Man's not being truly wise and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=30 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 60 60. I heard several about me in the spiritual world talking together, who said that they were quite willing to acknowledge that the Divine is in each and every thing of the universe, because they behold therein the wonderful works of God, and these are the more wonderful the more interiorly they are examined. And yet, when they were told that the Divine is actually in each and every thing of the u... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=60 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 83 83. PART SECOND. DIVINE LOVE AND DIVINE WISDOM APPEAR IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AS A SUN. There are two worlds, the spiritual and the natural. The spiritual world does not draw anything from the natural, nor the natural world from the spiritual. The two are totally distinct, and communicate only by correspondences, the nature of which has been abundantly shown elsewhere. To illustrate thi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=83 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 113 113. ANGELS ARE IN THE LORD, AND THE LORD IN THEM; AND BECAUSE ANGELS ARE RECIPIENTS, THE LORD ALONE IS HEAVEN. Heaven is called "the dwelling-place of God," also "the throne of God," and from this it is believed that God is there as is a king in his kingdom. But God (that is, the Lord) is in the sun above the heavens, and by His presence in heat and light, is in the heav... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=113 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 125 125. As the quarters are various receptions of love and wisdom by angels, the variety from which that appearance springs shall now be explained. The Lord is in the angel, and the angel in the Lord (as was shown in a preceding article). But on account of the appearance that the Lord as a sun is outside of the angel, there is also the appearance that the Lord sees him from the sun, and that he sees... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=125 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 182 182. But degrees of spiritual heat cannot be described from experience, because love, to which spiritual heat corresponds, does not come thus under ideas of thought; but degrees of spiritual light can be described, because light pertains to thought, and therefore comes under ideas of thought. Yet degrees of spiritual heat can be comprehended by their relation to the degrees of light, for the two a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=182 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 189 189. DEGREES OF HEIGHT ARE HOMOGENEOUS, AND ONE IS FROM THE OTHER IN SUCCESSION LIKE END, CAUSE, AND EFFECT. As degrees of breadth, that is continuous degrees, are like gradations from light to shade, from heat to cold, from hard to soft, from dense to rare, from thick to thin, and so forth; and as these degrees are known from sensuous and ocular experience, while degrees of height, or discr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=189 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 237 237. These three degrees of height are called natural, spiritual, and celestial (as was said above, n. 232). When man is born he comes first into the natural degree, and this grows in him, by continuity, according to his knowledges and the understanding acquired by means of knowledges even to the highest point of understanding, which is called the rational. Yet not by this means is the second degr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=237 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 256 256. THE NATURAL DEGREE OF THE HUMAN MIND REGARDED IN ITSELF IS CONTINUOUS, BUT BY CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE TWO HIGHER DEGREES IT APPEARS WHEN IT IS ELEVATED AS IF IT WERE DISCRETE. Although this is hardly comprehensible, by those who have as yet no knowledge of degrees of height, it must nevertheless be revealed, because it is a part of angelic wisdom; and while the natural man is unable to... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=256 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 277 277. ALL THINGS OF THE THREE DEGREES OF THE NATURAL MIND ARE INCLUDED IN THE DEEDS THAT ARE DONE BY THE ACTS OF THE BODY. By the knowledge of degrees, which is set forth in this Part, the following arcanum is disclosed: all things of the mind, that is, of the will and understanding of man, are in his acts or deeds, included therein very much as things visible and invisible are in a seed or f... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=277
