Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 176 176. To show what the things are that appear to the angels in accordance with correspondences, I will here mention one only for the sake of illustration.

The trees are planted in a most beautiful order, combined to form arbors with arched approaches and encircling walks, all more beautiful than words... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=176 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 185 185. I have seen palaces in heaven of such magnificence as cannot be described. Above they glittered as if made of pure gold, and below as if made of precious stones, some more splendid than others. It was the same within. Both words and knowledge are inadequate to describe the decorations that adorned the rooms. On the side looking to the south there were parks, where, too, everything shone, in s... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=185 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 284 284. THE STATE OF PEACE IN HEAVEN. Only those that have experienced the peace of heaven can have any perception of the peace in which the angels are. As man is unable, as long as he is in the body, to receive the peace of heaven, so he can have no perception of it, because his perception is confined to what is natural. To perceive it he must be able, in respect to thought, to be raised up an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=284 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 335 335. Children are taught chiefly by representatives suited to their capacity. These are beautiful and full of wisdom from within, beyond all belief. In this way an intelligence that derives its soul from good is gradually instilled into them.

First there was a representation... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=335 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 413 413. But that I might learn the nature of heaven and heavenly joy I have frequently and for a long time been permitted by the Lord to perceive the delights of heavenly joys; but while I have been enabled to know by living experience what they are I am not at all able to describe them. Nevertheless, that some idea of them may be formed, something shall be said about them. Heavenly joy is an affecti... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=413 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 555 555. At first I wondered how it is that love of self and love of the world could be so diabolical, and how those who are in these loves could be such monsters in appearance; for in the world not much thought is given to love of self, but only to that elated state of mind in external matters which is called haughtiness, and that alone, being so apparent to the sight, is regarded as love of self. Fu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=555 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 23 23. IV. ALL WHO HAVE BEEN BORN MEN FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, AND ARE DECEASED, ARE EITHER IN HEAVEN OR IN HELL. I. This follows from what has been said and shown in the preceding article, namely, that heaven and hell are from the human race. II. And from this, that every man after the life in the world, lives to eternity. III. Thus all who have ever been born... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lj§ion=23 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 489 489. But the delights of life of those that have lived in the world in heavenly love are changed into such corresponding things as exist in the heavens, which spring from the sun of heaven and its light, that light presenting to view such things as have what is Divine inwardly concealed in them. The things that appear in that light affect the interiors of the minds of the angels, and at the same t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=489 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 577 577. In the same degree in which angels have wisdom and intelligence infernal spirits have malice and cunning; for the case is the same, since the spirit of man when released from the body is in his good or in his evil - if an angelic spirit in his good, and if an infernal spirit in his evil. Every spirit is his own good or his own evil because he is his own love, as has been often said and shown... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=577 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 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 27 27. IV. Because all, who are to be born hereafter, must also come into the spiritual world, that world is so vast and such, that the natural world, in which men are on earth, cannot be compared with it; this is evident from the immense multitude of men who have passed into the spiritual world since the first creation, and who are together there; as well as from the continual increase hereafter fro... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lj§ion=27 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 85 85. That there is any other sun than that of the natural world has hitherto been unknown. The reason is, that the spiritual of man has so far passed over into his natural, that he does not know what the spiritual is, and thus does not know that there is a spiritual world, the abode of spirits and angels, other than and different from the natural world. Since the spiritual world has lain so deeply... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=85 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 136 136. It is well known that the will and understanding rule the body at pleasure, for what the understanding thinks, the mouth speaks, and what the will wills, the body does. From this it is plain that the body is a form corresponding to the understanding and will. And because form also is predicated of understanding and will, it is plain that the form of the body corresponds to the form of the und... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=136 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 299 299. IV. THE LORD GOVERNS HELL BY MEANS OF OPPOSITES AND THE WICKED WHILE IN THE WORLD HE GOVERNS IN HELL AS TO THEIR INTERIORS BUT NOT AS TO THEIR EXTERIORS.

The reason of this is that the mind or spirit of man is in, every detail in the same form as heav... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=299 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 31 31. The Almighty, signifies who is, lives, and has power from Himself, and who rules all things from firsts by ultimates. Since all things are from the Lord, and are created from the firsts which are from Him; and nothing is given which does not exist therefrom, as is abundantly shown in the Angelic Wisdom concerning the Divine Love and Wisdom, it follows, that He is omnipotent. Suppose One from w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=31 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 101 101. And ye shall have affliction ten days, signifies that this will endure its full time, that is, as long as they are willing to remain in falsities. "Affliction" here signifies infestation (of which above, n. 33, 95), thus temptation; and "ten days" signify the duration of that state to the full; therefore it follows, "Be thou faithful unto death," by which is sign... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=101 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 565 565. Verse 17. And the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, signifies the burning hatred with those who believe themselves wise from confirmations in favor of the mystic union of the Divine and the Human in the Lord, and in favor of justification by faith alone, against th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=565 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 14 14.

I know that few will acknowledge that all joys and delights from the first to the last are gathered into conjugial love, because, as explained and confirmed above (nos. 58, 59), the love truly conjugial into which they are gathered is at this day so rare that it is not known what it is and scarcely that it is, and these joys and delights are present in no other conjugial love than that which i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=69
