I spoke with some of those who are meant by "the dragon" in Revelation; and one of them said to me, "Come with me, and I will show you the delights of our eyes and hearts."

309. I will here relate what I heard from some in the spiritual world. They were among those who believe their own prudence to be everything and the Divine Providence nothing. I said that man has not any proprium of his own, unless you choose to call that his proprium which consists in being this or that kind of subject, or this or that kind of organ, or this or that kind of form. This, however, i...

As this, however, is contrary to the belief of those who have confirmed in themselves the appearance that wisdom and prude...

It is in accordance with a law of the Divine Providence that man should think as of himself...

386. To the above I will add this Relation.

5. Concerning Faith, Charity, Good Works and Merits.
