Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 283 283. Everyone who is in the good of innocence is affected by innocence, and is affected to the extent that he is in that good; but those who are not in the good of innocence are not affected by innocence. For this reason all who are in hell are wholly antagonistic to innocence; they do not know what it is; their antagonism is such that so far as any one is innocent they burn to do him mischief; th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=283 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 308 308. There is also a conjunction of heaven by means of the Word with those who are outside of the church where there is no Word; for the Lord's church is universal, and is with all who acknowledge the Divine and live in charity. Moreover, such are taught after death by the angels and receive Divine truths;# on which subject more may be seen below, in the chapter on the heathen. The universal churc... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=308 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 322 322. Among the heathen, as among Christians, there are both wise and simple. That I might learn about them I have been permitted to speak with both, sometimes for hours and days. But there are no such wise men now as in ancient times, especially in the Ancient Church, which extended over a large part of the Asiatic world, and from which religion spread to many nations. That I might wholly know abo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=322 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 323 323. It has also been granted me to talk with others who lived in ancient times, and who were then among the more wise. At first they appeared in front at a distance, and were able then to perceive the interiors of my thoughts, thus many things fully. From one idea of thought they were able to discern the entire series and fill it with delightful things of wisdom combined with charming representat... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=323 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 340 340. Many may suppose that in heaven little children remain little children, and continue as such among the angels. Those who do not know what an angel is may have had this opinion confirmed by paintings and images in churches, in which angels are represented as children. But it is wholly otherwise. Intelligence and wisdom are what constitute an angel, and as long as children do not possess these... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=340 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 342 342. I have talked with angels about little children, whether they are free from evils, inasmuch as they have no actual evil as adults have; and I was told that they are equally in evil, and in fact are nothing but evil;# but, like all angels, they are so withheld from evil and held in good by the Lord as to seem to themselves to be in good from themselves. For this reason when children have becom... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=342 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 346 346. XXXVIII. THE WISE AND THE SIMPLE IN HEAVEN. It is believed that in heaven the wise will have more glory and eminence than the simple, because it is said in Daniel: They that are intelligent shall shine as with the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever (12:3). But few know who are meant by the &... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=346 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 349 349. All who have acquired intelligence and wisdom in the world are received in heaven and become angels, each in accordance with the quality and degree of his intelligence and wisdom. For whatever a man acquires in the world abides, and he takes it with him after death; and it is further increased and filled out, but within and not beyond the degree of his affection and desire for truth and its g... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=349 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 351 351. It is believed in the world that those who have much knowledge, whether it be knowledge of the teachings of the church and the Word or of the sciences, have a more interior and keen vision of truth than others, that is, are more intelligent and wise; and such have this opinion of themselves. But what true intelligence and wisdom are, and what spurious and false intelligence and wisdom are, sh... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=351 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 353 353. False intelligence and wisdom is all intelligence and wisdom that is separated from the acknowledgment of the Divine; for all such as do not acknowledge the Divine, but acknowledge nature in the place of the Divine, think from the bodily-sensual, and are merely sensual, however highly they may be esteemed in the world for their accomplishments and learning.# For their learning does not ascend... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=353 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 368 368. Moreover, such a conjunction of husband and wife in the inmosts of their minds comes from their very creation; for man is born to be intellectual, that is, to think from the understanding, while woman is born to be affectional, that is, to think from her will; and this is evident from the inclination or natural disposition of each, also from their form; from the disposition, in that man acts... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=368 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 402 402. In uses all the delights of heaven are brought together and are present, because uses are the goods of love and charity in which angels are; therefore everyone has delights that are in accord with his uses, and in the degree of his affection for use. That all the delights of heaven are delights of use can be seen by a comparison with the five bodily senses of man. There is given to each sense... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=402 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 418 418. Again, the immensity of the heaven of the Lord is shown in this, that heaven in its entire complex reflects a single Man, and corresponds to all things and each thing in man, and that this correspondence can never be filled out, since it is a correspondence not only with each of the members, organs, and viscera of the body in general, but also with all and each of the little viscera and littl... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=418 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 458 458. The faces of hypocrites are changed more slowly than those of others, because by practice they had formed a habit of so managing their interiors as to imitate good affections; consequently for a long time they appear not unbeautiful. But as that which they had assumed is gradually put off, and the interiors of the mind are brought into accord with the form of their affections, they become aft... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=458 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 479 479. (i) Man after death is his own love or his own will. This has been proved to me by manifold experience. The entire heaven is divided into societies according to differences of good of love; and every spirit who is taken up into heaven and becomes an angel is taken to the society where his love is; and when he arrives there he is, as it were, at home, and in the house where he was born; this t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=479 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 484 484. It must be understood that all works and deeds pertain to moral and civil life, and therefore have regard to what is honest and right, and what is just and equitable, what is honest and right pertaining to moral life, and what is just and equitable to civil life. The love from which deeds are done is either heavenly or infernal. Works and deeds of moral and civil life, when they are done from... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=484 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 505 505. When the spirit is in the state of his interiors it becomes clearly evident what the man was in himself when he was in the world, for at such times he acts from what is his own. He that had been in the world interiorly in good then acts rationally and wisely, and even more wisely than in the world, because he is released from connection with the body, and thus from those earthly things that c... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=505
