Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 280 280. As innocence consists in being led by the Lord and not by self, so all who are in heaven are in innocence; for all who are there love to be led by the Lord, knowing that to lead themselves is to be led by what is their own, and what is one's own is loving oneself, he that loves himself not permitting himself to be led by any one else. Therefore, so far as an angel is in innocence he is in hea... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=280 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 281 281. I have talked much with angels about innocence, and have been told that innocence is the being [esse] of all good, and that good is therefore so far good as it has innocence in it, consequently that wisdom is so far wisdom as it partakes of innocence; and the same is true of love, charity, and faith;# and therefore no one can enter heaven unless he possesses innocence; and this the Lord teach... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=281 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 361 361. As to the lot of the rich in heaven, they live more splendidly than others. Some of them dwell in palaces within which everything is resplendent as if with gold and silver. They have an abundance of all things for the uses of life, but they do not in the least set their heart on these things, but only on uses. Uses are clearly seen as if they were in light, but the gold and silver are seen ob... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=361 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 367 367. Marriage in heaven is a conjunction of two into one mind. It must first be explained what this conjunction is. The mind consists of two parts, one called the understanding and the other the will. When these two parts act as one they are called one mind. In heaven the husband acts the part called the understanding and the wife acts the part called the will. When this conjunction, which belongs... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=367 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 380 380. The love of dominion of one over the other entirely takes away marriage love and its heavenly delight, for as has been said above, marriage love and its delight consists in the will of one being that of the other, and this mutually and reciprocally. This is destroyed by love of dominion in marriage, since he that domineers wishes his will alone to be in the other, and nothing of the other's w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=380 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 383 383. I have also been permitted to see how marriages are contracted in the heavens. As everywhere in heaven those who are alike are united and those who are unlike are separated, so every society in heaven consists of those who are alike. Like are brought to like not by themselves but by the Lord (see above, n. 41, 43, 44, seq.); and equally consort to consort whose minds can be joined into one ar... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=383 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 387 387. THE EMPLOYMENTS OF ANGELS IN HEAVEN. It is impossible to enumerate the employments in the heavens, still less to describe them in detail, but something may be said about them in a general way; for they are numberless, and vary in accordance with the functions of the societies. Each society has its peculiar function, for as societies are distinct in accordance with goods (see above, n. 4... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=387 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 400 400. But it must be understood that the delight of those who are in the loves of self and of the world, when they draw near to any heavenly society, is the delight of their lust, and thus is directly opposite to the delight of heaven. And such enter into this delight of their lust in consequence of their taking away and dispelling heavenly delight in those that are in such delight. When the heaven... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=400 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 405 405. Almost all who enter the other life think that hell is the same to everyone, and heaven the same; and yet in both there are infinite varieties and diversities, and in no case is hell or heaven wholly the same to one as to another; as it is impossible that any one man, spirit or angel should ever be wholly like another even as to the face. At my mere thought of two being just alike or equal th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=405 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 408 408. I have talked with spirits who believed heaven and heavenly joy to consist in their being great; but such were told that in heaven he that is least is greatest, since he is called least who has, and wishes to have, no power or wisdom from himself, but only from the Lord, he that is least in that sense having the greatest happiness, and as he has the greatest happiness, it follows that he is g... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=408 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 415 415. XLIII. THE IMMENSITY OF HEAVEN. The immensity of the heaven of the Lord is evident from many things that have been said and shown in the foregoing chapters, especially from this, that heaven is from the human race (n. 311-317), both from those born within the church and from those born out of it (n. 318-328); thus it consists of all from the beginning of this earth that have lived a goo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=415 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 420 420. That heaven is not immense, but it is of limited extent, is a conclusion that some have derived from certain passages in the Word understood according to the sense of its letter; for example, where it is said that only the poor are received into heaven, or only the elect, or only those within the church, and not those outside of it, or only those for whom the Lord intercedes; that heaven is c... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=420 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 481 481. (iii) The man who has heavenly and spiritual love goes to heaven; while the man who has corporeal and worldly love and no heavenly and spiritual love goes to hell. This has been made evident to me from all whom I have seen taken up into heaven or cast into hell. The life of those taken up into heaven had been derived from a heavenly and spiritual love, while the life of those cast into hell h... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=481 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 506 506. All that have lived a good life in the world and have acted from conscience, who are such as have acknowledged the Divine and have loved Divine truths, especially such as have applied those truths to life, seem to themselves, when let into the state of their interiors, like one aroused from sleep into full wakefulness, or like one passing from darkness into light. They then think from the lig... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=506 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 517 517. Instruction in the heavens differs from instruction on earth in that knowledges are not committed to memory, but to life; for the memory of spirits is in their life, for they receive and imbibe everything that is in harmony with their life, and do not receive, still less imbibe, what is not in harmony with it; for spirits are affections, and are therefore in a human form that is similar to th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=517 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 529 529. When the life of man is scanned and explored by rational insight it is found to be threefold, namely, spiritual, moral, and civil, with these three lives distinct from each other. For there are men who live a civil life and not as yet a moral and spiritual life; and there are men who live a moral life and not as yet a spiritual life; and there are those who live a civil life, a moral life, an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=529 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 556 556. The love of self is wishing well to oneself alone, and to others only for the sake of self, even to the church, one's country, or any human society. It consists also in doing good to all these solely for the sake of one's own reputation, honor, and glory; and unless these are seen in the uses he performs in behalf of others he says in his heart, How does it concern me? Why should I do this? W... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=556 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 557 557. What love of self is can be seen by comparing it with heavenly love. Heavenly love consists in loving uses for the sake of uses, or goods for the sake of goods, which are done by man in behalf of the church, his country, human society, and a fellow-citizen; for this is loving God and loving the neighbor, since all uses and all goods are from God, and are the neighbor who is to be loved. But h... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=557 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 565 565. But in respect to the love of the world: it is a love opposed to heavenly love in a less degree than love of self, because the evils hidden within it are lesser evils. The love of the world consists in one's desiring to secure to himself, by any kind of artifice, the wealth of others, and in setting his heart upon riches, and permitting the world to draw him and lead him away from spiritual l... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=565 The Last Judgment and Babylon Destroyed, Showing That at This Day All the Predictions of the Book of Revelation Have Been Fulfilled - From Things Heard and Seen 36 36. Something shall now be said concerning this, that there is no faith, if there is no charity. It is supposed that faith exists, so long as the doctrinals of the church are believed; or that they who believe, have faith; and yet mere believing is not faith, but willing and doing what is believed, is faith. When the doctrinals of the church are merely believed, they are not in man's life, but onl... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lj§ion=36
