Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 526 526. I have occasionally talked with angels about this, and have told them that most of those in the world who live in evil, when they talk with others about heaven and eternal life, express no other idea than that entering heaven is merely being admitted from mercy alone. And this is believed by those especially who make faith the only medium of salvation. For such from the principles of their re... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=526 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 19 19. THE LORD IN RESPECT TO THE DIVINE HUMAN IS CALLED THE SON OF GOD; AND IN RESPECT TO THE WORD, THE SON OF MAN. In the church, the Son of God is supposed to be the second Person of the Godhead, distinct from the Person of the Father, whence comes the belief about the Son of God born from eternity. As this belief has been universally received, and as it relates to God, no one has had any op... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=19 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 91 91. It is a general opinion at the present day that to be saved consists in believing this thing or that which the church teaches, and that it does not consist in keeping the commandments (which are, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness) in both the restricted and the extended sense. For it is maintained that works are not regarded by God, but faith, when ne... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=91 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 5 5. But that this may reach the understanding, it must needs be known positively that the Lord, because He is Love in its very essence, that is, Divine Love, appears before the angels in heaven as a sun, and that from that sun heat and light go forth; the heat which goes forth therefrom being in its essence love, and the light which goes forth therefrom being in its essence wisdom; and that so far... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=5 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 76 76. He who has no knowledge of God apart from time and is unable from any perception to think of Him, is thus utterly unable to conceive of eternity in any other way than as an eternity of time; in which case, in thinking of God from eternity he must needs become bewildered; for he thinks with regard to a beginning, and beginning has exclusive reference to time. His bewilderment arises from the id... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=76 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 215 215. That the outmost in each series, that is to say, use, action, work, and doing, is the complex and containant of all things prior, has not yet been known. There seems to be nothing more in use, in action, in work, and in doing than such as there is in movement; yet all things prior are actually present in these, and so fully that nothing is lacking. They are contained therein like wine in its... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=215 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 249 249. There are three kinds of natural men; the first consists of those who know nothing of the Divine precepts; the second, of those who know that there are such precepts, but give no thought to a life according to them; and the third, of those who despise and deny these precepts. In respect to the first class, which consists of those who know nothing of the Divine precepts, since they cannot be t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=249 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 300 300. That there are atmospheres in the angelic world, as well as in the natural world, has been shown above (n. 173-178, 179-183). It was there declared that the atmospheres of the spiritual world are spiritual, and the atmospheres of the natural world are natural. It can now be seen, from the origin of the spiritual atmosphere most closely encompassing the spiritual sun, that everything belonging... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=300 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 367 367. (4) By means of first principles life is in the whole from every part, and in every part from the whole. This is because the whole, which is the brain and the body together, is originally made up of nothing but fibers proceeding from their first principles in the brains. It has no other origin, as is evident from what has been shown just above (n. 366); consequently, the whole is from every p... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=367 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 380 380. The redness, also, of the blood is from the correspondence of the heart and the blood with love and its affection; for in the spiritual world there are all kinds of colors, of which red and white are the fundamental, the rest deriving their varieties from these and from their opposites, which are a dusky fire color and black. Red there corresponds to love, and white to wisdom. Red corresponds... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=380 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 78 78. III. WHATEVER A MAN DOES FROM FREEDOM ACCORDING TO HIS THOUGHT, IS APPROPRIATED TO HIM AS HIS OWN, AND REMAINS WITH HIM. The reason is that man's proprium and his freedom make one. Man's proprium is of his life; and what a man does from his life he does from freedom. Further, man's proprium is what is of his love, for love is the life of everyone, and what a man does from his life's love that... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=78 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 320 320. IV. IF MAN BELIEVED, AS IS THE TRUTH, THAT ALL GOOD AND TRUTH ORIGINATE FROM THE LORD, AND ALL EVIL AND FALSITY FROM HELL, HE WOULD NOT APPROPRIATE GOOD TO HIMSELF AND ACCOUNT IT MERITORIOUS, NOR WOULD HE APPROPRIATE EVIL TO HIMSELF AND ACCOUNT HIMSELF RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. As this, however, is contrary to the belief of those who have confirmed in themselves the appearance that wisdom and prude... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=320 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 62 62. III. THAT THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THIS LOVE IS WITH THE MARRIAGE OF THE LORD AND THE CHURCH, that is, as the Lord loves the Church and wills that the Church shall love Him, so husband and wife mutually love each other. That there is a correspondence between these marriages is known in the Christian world, but not as yet its nature. This correspondence, therefore, shall be explained in a particul... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=62 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 96 96. VII. THE LORD PRESERVES THESE TWO FACULTIES IN MAN UNIMPAIRED AND AS SACRED IN EVERY STEP OF HIS DIVINE PROVIDENCE. This is because without these two faculties man would not have understanding and will and thus be would not be man; and because without these two faculties man could not have been conjoined to the Lord, and thus could not have been reformed and regenerated; and also because witho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=96 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 180 180. II. IF A MAN SAW CLEARLY THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE HE WOULD INTERPOSE IN THE ORDER AND TENOR OF ITS COURSE, AND WOULD PERVERT AND DESTROY THAT ORDER. In order that this may come within the clear perception of the rational man and also of the natural man it may be illustrated by examples and in this order: 1. There is such a connection between external and internal things that they make... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=180 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 321 321. These things will now be explained in the order proposed. First: He who confirms in himself the appearance that wisdom and prudence originate from man and are in man as his own must needs see that if this were not so he would not be a man, but either a beast or a statue, when yet the contrary is true. It is in accordance with a law of the Divine Providence that man should think as of himself... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=321 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 3 3. After consultation, the FIRST COMPANY, which was from the north, said: "Heavenly joy and eternal happiness are one with the very life of heaven. Therefore every one who enters heaven, enters, as to life, into its festivities, just as one who goes to a wedding enters into its festivities. Is not heaven above us, before our eyes, and thus in a place? And there and nowhere else is happiness u... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=3 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 85 85. Since, therefore, the Lord God the Creator is Love Itself and Wisdom Itself, and the universe was created by Him, being thus as a work proceeding from Him, it must needs be that in each and every created thing there is something of good and truth from Him; for what is made by any one and proceeds from him, bears his likeness. Moreover, reason can see that such is the case, from the order in wh... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=85 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 120 120.

That no other offspring are born of the Lord by the Church needs no demonstration because reason sees it witho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=120 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 121 121. IV. THAT THE SPIRITUAL OFFSPRING WHICH ARE BORN FROM THE MARRIAGE OF THE LORD WITH THE CHURCH ARE TRUTHS, FROM WHICH ARE UNDERSTANDING, PERCEPTION, AND ALL THOUGHT; AND GOODS, FROM WHICH ARE LOVE, CHARITY, AND EVERY AFFECTION. That truths and goods are the spiritual offspring born of the Lord by the Church is 1. because the Lord is good itself and truth itself, and in Him these are not two bu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=121
