Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 175 175. As all things that correspond to interiors also represent them they are called representatives; and as they differ in each case in accordance with the state of the interiors they are called appearances. Nevertheless, the things that appear before the eyes of angels in heaven and are perceived by their senses appear to their eyes and senses as fully living as things on earth appear to man, and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=175 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 178 178. The garments with which angels are clothed, like all other things with them, correspond; and because they correspond they have real existence (see above n. 175). Their garments correspond to their intelligence, and therefore all in the heavens appear clothed in accordance with their intelligence; and as one is more intelligent than another so the garments of one surpass those of another. The... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=178 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 186 186. As to these correspondences I have also been told that not only the palaces and houses, but all things and each thing, both inside and outside of them, correspond to the interior things which they have from the Lord, the house itself in general corresponding to their good, the particular things inside of a house to the various things of which their good consists,1 and the things outside to tr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=186 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 197 197. It follows from this that in the Word places and spaces, and all things that in any way relate to space, signify such things as relate to states, such as distances, near, far off, ways, journeys, sojourning, miles and furlongs, plains, fields, gardens, cities and streets, motions, measures of various kinds, long, broad, high, and deep, and innumerable other things; for most things in man's th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=197 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 212 212. When it comes to the particulars of the form of heaven and how it proceeds and flows, this not even the angels can comprehend. Some conception of it can be gained from the form of all things in the human body, when this is scanned and investigated by an acute and wise man; for it has been shown above, in their respective chapters, that the entire heaven reflects a single man (see n. 59-72) an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=212 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 234 234. THE SPEECH OF ANGELS. Angels talk with each other just as men do in the world, and on various subjects, as on domestic matters, and on matters of the civil state, and of moral, and spiritual life. And there is no difference except that their talk is more intelligent than that of men, because it is from more interior thought. I have been permitted to associate with them frequently, and t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=234 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 236 236. In the entire heaven all have the same language, and they all understand one another, to whatever society, near or remote, they belong. Language there is not learned but is instinctive with everyone, for it flows from their very affection and thought, the tones of their speech corresponding to their affections, and the vocal articulations which are words corresponding to the ideas of thought... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=236 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 240 240. Because the speech of angels proceeds directly from their affection, and the ideas of their thought are the various forms into which their general affection is distributed (see above, n. 236), angels can express in a moment what a man cannot express in half an hour; also they can set forth in a few words what has been expressed in writing on many pages; and this, too, has been proved to me by... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=240 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 249 249. But at the present day to talk with spirits is rarely granted because it is dangerous;# for then the spirits know, what otherwise they do not know, that they are with man; and evil spirits are such that they hold man in deadly hatred, and desire nothing so much as to destroy him both soul and body, and this they do in the case of those who have so indulged themselves in fantasies as to have s... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=249 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 260 260. A little paper was at one time sent to me from heaven, on which there were a few words only written in Hebrew letters, and I was told that every letter involved arcana of wisdom, and that these arcana were contained in the inflections and curvatures of the letters, and thus also in the sounds. This made clear to me what is signified by these words of the Lord: Verily I say u... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=260 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 270 270. The wisdom of the angels of the third or inmost heaven shall now be described, and also how far it surpasses the wisdom of the angels of the first or outmost heaven. The wisdom of the angels of the third or inmost heaven is incomprehensible even to those who are in the outmost heaven, for the reason that the interiors of the angels of the third heaven have been opened to the third degree, whi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=270 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 303 303. CONJUNCTION OF HEAVEN WITH MAN BY MEANS OF THE WORD. Those who think from interior reason can see that there is a connection of all things through intermediates with the First, and that whatever is not in connection is dissipated. For they know, when they think about it, that nothing can have permanent existence from itself, but only from what is prior to itself, thus all things from a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=303 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 327 327. I have talked with some who were in the Ancient Church. That is called the Ancient Church that was established after the deluge, and extended through many kingdoms, namely, Assyria, Mesopotamia, Syria, Ethiopia, Arabia, Libya, Egypt, Philistia as far as Tyre and Zidon, and through the land of Canaan on both sides of the Jordan.# The men of this church knew about the Lord that He was to come,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=327 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 333 333. Little children have various dispositions, some that of the spiritual angels and some that of the celestial angels. Those who are of a celestial disposition are seen in that heaven to the right, and those of a spiritual disposition to the left. All children in the Greatest Man, which is heaven, are in the province of the eyes-those of a spiritual disposition in the province of the left eye, a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=333 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 357 357. XXXIX. THE RICH AND THE POOR IN HEAVEN. There are various opinions about reception into heaven. Some are of the opinion that the poor are received and the rich are not; some that the rich and the poor are equally received; some that the rich can be received only by giving up their wealth and becoming like the poor; and proofs are found in the Word for all of these opinions. But those wh... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=357 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 365 365. All this makes clear that the rich and the poor alike come into heaven, the one as easily as the other. The belief that the poor enter heaven easily and the rich with difficulty comes from not understanding the Word where the rich and the poor are mentioned. In the Word those that have an abundance of knowledges of good and truth, thus who are within the church where the Word is, are meant in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=365 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 391 391. As all the societies in the heavens are distinct in accordance with their goods (as said above, n. 41, seq.) so they are distinct in accordance with their uses, goods being goods in act, that is, goods of charity which are uses. Some societies are employed in taking care of little children; others in teaching and training them as they grow up; others in teaching and training in like manner th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=391 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 462 462. [a.] And yet there is a great difference between man's life in the spiritual world and his life in the natural world, in regard both to his outer senses and their affections and his inner senses and their affections. Those that are in heaven have more exquisite senses, that is, a keener sight and hearing, and also think more wisely than when they were in the world; for they see in the light o... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=462
