Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 86 86. Those in heaven wonder that men can believe themselves to be intelligent who, in thinking of God, think about something invisible, that is, inconceivable under any form; and that they can call those who think differently unintelligent and simple, when the reverse is the truth. They add, "Let those who thus believe themselves to be intelligent examine themselves, whether they do not look u... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=86 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 119 119. This is why in the Word the Lord in respect to love is likened to the sun, and in respect to faith to the moon; also that the "sun" signifies love from the Lord to the Lord, and the "moon" signifies faith from the Lord in the Lord, as in the following passages: The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be seven... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=119 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 129 129. As the Lord in the heavens is Divine truth, and the Divine truth there is light, so in the Word He is called Light, likewise all truth is from Him, as in the following passages: Jesus said, I am the light of the world; he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12). As long as I am in the world I am the light of the w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=129 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 135 135. Love going forth from the Lord as a sun is felt in heaven as heat, because the interiors of the angels are in a state of love from the Divine good that is from the Lord; and in consequence their exteriors which grow warm therefrom are in a state of heat. For this reason heat and love so correspond to each other in heaven that everyone there is in heat such as his love is, according to what ha... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=135 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 139 139. It must be understood that the Divine good and the Divine truth that are from the Lord as a sun in the heavens are not in the Lord, but are from the Lord. In the Lord there is only Divine love, which is the Being [Esse] from which the Divine good and the Divine truth spring. Outgo [existere] from being [esse] is meant by going forth [procedere]. This, too, can be made clear by comparison with... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=139 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 180 180. As in heaven the angels are clothed with garments, so when seen in the world they have appeared clothed with garments, as those seen by the prophets and those seen at the Lord's sepulchre: Whose appearance was as lightning, and their garments glistening and white (Matt. 28:3; Mark 16:5; Luke 24:4; John 20:12, 13); and those seen in heaven by John: ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=180 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 222 222. But essential Divine worship in the heavens does not consist in going to church and hearing preaching, but in a life of love, charity, and faith, in accordance with doctrine; preachings in churches serve solely as means of instruction in matters of life. I have talked with angels on this subject, and have told them that it is believed in the world that Divine worship consists solely in attend... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=222 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 232 232. It has been shown above (n. 137) that the Divine truth that goes forth from the Lord has all power, and that angels have power to the extent that they are receptions of Divine truth from the Lord. But angels are so far receptions of Divine truth as they are receptions of Divine good, for truths have all their power from good, and none apart from good. So, too, good has all its power through t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=232 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 250 250. But to speak with the angels of heaven is granted only to those who are in truths from good, especially to those who are in the acknowledgment of the Lord and of the Divine in His Human, because this is the truth in which the heavens are. For, as it has been shown above, the Lord is the God of heaven (n. 2-6); it is the Divine of the Lord that makes heaven (n. 7-12); the Divine of the Lord in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=250 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 270 270. The wisdom of the angels of the third or inmost heaven shall now be described, and also how far it surpasses the wisdom of the angels of the first or outmost heaven. The wisdom of the angels of the third or inmost heaven is incomprehensible even to those who are in the outmost heaven, for the reason that the interiors of the angels of the third heaven have been opened to the third degree, whi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=270 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 356 356. But in respect to those that have acquired intelligence and wisdom through knowledge and science, who are such as have applied all things to the use of life, and have also acknowledged the Divine, loved the Word, and lived a spiritual moral life (of which above, n. 319), to such the sciences have served as a means of becoming wise, and also of corroborating the things pertaining to faith. The... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=356 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 374 374. I heard an angel describing true marriage love and its heavenly delights in this manner: That it is the Lord's Divine in the heavens, which is Divine good and Divine truth so united in two persons, that they are not as two but as one. He said that in heaven the two consorts are marriage love, since everyone is his own good and his own truth in respect both to mind and to body, the body being... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=374 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 441 441. As to being carried away by the spirit to another place, I have been shown by living experience what it is, and how it is done, but only two or three times. I will relate a single instance. Walking through the streets of a city and through fields, talking at the same time with spirits, I knew no otherwise than that I was fully awake, and in possession of my usual sight. Thus I walked on witho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=441 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 480 480. (ii) Man after death continues to eternity such as his will or ruling love is. This, too, has been confirmed by abundant experience. I have been permitted to talk with some who lived two thousand years ago, and whose lives are described in history, and thus known; and I found that they continued to be just the same as they were described, that is, in respect to the love out of which and accor... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=480 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 496 496. Such, however, are explored by good spirits to discover what they are, and this in various ways; since in this the first state the evil equally with the good utter truths and do good acts, and for the reason mentioned above, that like the good they have lived morally in outward respects, since they have lived under governments, and subject to laws, and have thereby acquired a reputation for j... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=496 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 520 520. To this I will add a memorable fact respecting the ways that lead from these places to heaven, by which the newly arrived angels are introduced. There are eight ways, two from each place of instruction, one going up in an eastern direction the other towards the west. Those that enter the Lord's celestial kingdom are introduced by the eastern way, while those that enter the spiritual kingdom a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=520 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 523 523. The Lord never does anything contrary to order, because He Himself is Order. The Divine truth that goes forth from the Lord is what constitutes order; and Divine truths are the laws of order. It is in accord with these laws that the Lord leads man. Consequently to save man by mercy apart from means would be contrary to Divine order, and what is contrary to Divine order is contrary to the Divi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=523 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 558 558. [a.] Furthermore, so far as any one is in heavenly love, which consists in loving uses and goods and being moved by delight of heart when doing them for the sake of the church, country, human society, and ones fellow-citizens, he is so far led by the Lord, because that love is the love in which the Lord is, and which is from Him. But so far as any one is in the love of self, which consists in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=558
