Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 31 31. Knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth that precede faith appear to some to be things of faith (or real belief), but still are not so. Their thinking and saying that they believe is no proof that they do so, and neither are such knowledges things of faith, for they are matters of mere thought that the case is so, and not of any internal recognition that they are truths; and the faith or be... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=31 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 69 69. Since religion makes man's inmost, and all the rest proceeds from the inmost, and since Mohammed is closely connected with their religion, therefore some Mohammed is always placed in their sight; and in order that they may turn their faces to the east, above which the Lord is, he is placed beneath in the Christian center. It is not the Mohammed himself who wrote the Koran, but another who fill... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=69 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 7 7. THE DIVINE IS NOT IN SPACE. That the Divine, that is, God, is not in space, although omnipresent and with every man in the world, and with every angel in heaven, and with every spirit under heaven, cannot be comprehended by a merely natural idea, but it can by a spiritual idea. It cannot be comprehended by a natural idea, because in the natural idea there is space; since it is formed out... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=7 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 30 30. It is because the Divine Essence itself is Love and Wisdom that man has two capacities for life; from one of these he has understanding, from the other will. The capacity from which he has understanding derives everything it has from the influx of wisdom from God, and the capacity from which he has will derives everything it has from the influx of love from God. Man's not being truly wise and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=30 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 271 271. EVILS AND FALSITIES ARE IN COMPLETE OPPOSITION TO GOODS AND TRUTHS, BECAUSE EVILS AND FALSITIES ARE DIABOLICAL AND INFERNAL, WHILE GOODS AND TRUTHS ARE DIVINE AND HEAVENLY. That evil and good are opposites, also the falsity of evil and the truth of good, every one acknowledges when he hears it. Still those who are in evil do not feel, and therefore do not perceive, otherwise than that e... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=271 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 226 226. II. IF A MAN AFTERWARDS DEPARTS FROM THESE AND TURNS ASIDE INTO WHAT IS CONTRARY, HE PROFANES HOLY THINGS. There are many kinds of profanation of what is holy, and these will be treated in the following section; but this kind is the most grievous of all; for profaners of this kind after death come to be no longer men. They indeed live, but are continually subject to fantastic hallucinations,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=226 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 275 275. CHAPTER IX EVILS ARE PERMITTED FOR THE SAKE OF AN END, WHICH IS SALVATION If man were born into the love into which he was created he would not be in any evil, nor indeed would he know what evil is; for one who has not been in evil, and consequently is not in evil, cannot know what evil is. If he were told that a particular thing is evil he would not believe it possi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=275 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 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 243 243. And the third animal having a face like a man, signifies the Divine truth of the Word as to wisdom. By "a man," in the Word, is signified wisdom, because he is born that he may receive wisdom from the Lord, and become an angel; therefore in proportion as anyone is wise, in the same proportion he is a man. Wisdom truly human consists in knowing that there is a God, what God is, and w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=243 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 401 401. And all green grass was burnt up, signifies, thus every living thing of faith. By "being burnt up" is signified to perish, as just above (n. 400); by "green grass," in the Word, is signified that good and truth of the church or of faith, which first springs up in the natural man; the same also is signified by "the herb of the field"; and because faith lives from... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=401 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 795 795. But this shall be illustrated by an example. Who cannot see that they who are in Babylon, have searched after and investigated how they could confirm this enormous falsity, that the bread and wine in the Eucharist should be divided, that the bread should be given to the laity and the wine to the clergy. This may be seen from merely reading the confirmation decreed in the Council of Trent, and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=795 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 65 65. V. THAT IT IS ALSO THE FUNDAMENTAL LOVE OF ALL CELESTIAL AND SPIRITUAL LOVES, AND THENCE OF ALL NATURAL LOVES. The reason why conjugial love, regarded in its essence, is the fundamental love of all the loves of heaven and the Church, is because its origin is from the marriage of good and truth, and from this marriage proceed all the loves which make heaven and the Church with man. The good of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=65 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 66 66. The same is clearly evident from the creation of men into this love, and from their subsequent formation by it. The male was created that he might become wisdom from the love of growing wise, and the female that she might become the love of the male from his wisdom and so according to it. It is clear from this, that two married partners are the very forms and effigies of the marriage of love a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=66 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 8 8. After this, the angel returned to the house of assembly of the wise from the Christian world, and called those to him who had deluded themselves with the belief that the joys of heaven and eternal happiness were paradisal delights. To these he said: "Follow me, and I will introduce you into paradise, your heaven, that you may enter upon the blessedness of your eternal happiness." http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=8 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 42 42. To the above, I will subjoin two Memorable Relations from the spiritual world. First: One morning, looking up to heaven, I beheld above me expanse upon expanse. And I saw that the first expanse, which was near-by, opened, and presently the second, which was higher, and lastly the third, which was the highest; and by enlightenment therefrom, I perceived that upon the first expanse we... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=42 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 69 69. I know that few will acknowledge that all joys and delights from the first to the last are gathered into conjugial love, because, as explained and confirmed above (nos. 58, 59), the love truly conjugial into which they are gathered is at this day so rare that it is not known what it is and scarcely that it is, and these joys and delights are present in no other conjugial love than that which i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=69 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 70 70. VII. BUT THAT NO OTHERS COME INTO THIS LOVE AND CAN BE IN IT SAVE THOSE WHO APPROACH THE LORD, LOVE THE TRUTHS OF THE CHURCH AND DO ITS GOODS. The reason why no others come into that love save those who approach the Lord, is because monogamous marriages, or marriages of one man with one wife, correspond to the marriage of the Lord and the Church, and because their origin is the marriage of goo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=70 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 71 71. The reason why no others can be in love truly conjugial save those who receive it from the Lord, being those who approach Him directly and from Him live the life of the Church, is because, as shown above (no. 64), that love, regarded from its origin and correspondence, is celestial, spiritual, holy, pure, and clean, above every other love which is with the angels of heaven and with the men of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=71 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 72 72. That those come into this love and can be in it, who love the truths of the Church and do its goods, is because no others are received by the Lord; for these are in conjunction with Him, and by Him can be held in this love. There are two things which make the Church and thence heaven with man: the truth of faith and the good of life. The truth of faith effects the Lord's presence, and the good... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=72 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 82 82. After this, a man from the northern quarter rushed up in a vehement mood and looked at me with a threatening countenance. Addressing me in an excited tone, he then said: "Are you the man who wishes to seduce the world by establishing a New Church, which you understand to be meant by the New Jerusalem about to come down from God out of heaven? and by teaching that to those who embrace the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=82
