Moreover, the spirits of the earth Jupiter are much wiser than the spirits of our earth....

They are those who while they lived in the world, were banished from the society of others, because they were evil.

He said that he did not know that he had done evil, only that he had reproved the inhabit...

135. Since I know that it will be doubted whether it is in any way possible for a man to see with the eyes of his spirit anything on an earth so distant, it is allowed me to say how this thing is. Distances in the other life are not like distances on earth. In the other life distances are altogether according to the states of the interiors of any one. Those who are in a like state, are together in...

Among those who liv...

The arrangement is like light diminishing from the middle to the circumferenc...

46.

These also he receives according to the quality of the good that is in him fro...

58. Finally it should be said that he who has heaven in himself has it not only in the largest or most general things pertaining to him but also in every least or particular thing, and that these least things repeat in an image the greatest.

62. The angels, it is true, do not see heaven in its whole complex in the human form, for heaven as a whole does not come within view of any angel; but remote societies, consisting of many thousands of angels, they sometimes see as a one in the human form; and from a society, as from a part, they draw their conclusion as to the general, which is heaven. For in the most perfect form generals are li...
