Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 355 355. That these are such in the spiritual world when they come into it after death may be inferred from this alone, that all things that are in the natural memory and are in immediate conjunction with the things of bodily sense (which is true of such knowledges as are mentioned above) then become quiescent; and only such rational principles as are drawn from these then serve for thought and speech... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=355 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 466 466. What these two memories are is sometimes presented to view in the other life in forms not elsewhere seen; for many things which in man take the form of ideas are there presented as objects of sight. The external memory there presents the appearance of a callus, the internal the appearance of a medullary substance like that in the human brain; and from this what they are can be known. With tho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=466 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 417 417. Again, how immense the heaven of the Lord is can be seen from this, that all the planets visible to the eye in our solar system are earths, and moreover, that in the whole universe there are innumerable earths, all of them full of inhabitants. These have been treated of particularly in a small work on those earths from which I will quote the following passage: It is fully kn... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=417 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 463 463. In disclosing his acts to a man after death, the angels to whom the office of searching is assigned look into his face, and their search extends through the whole body, beginning with the fingers of each hand, and thus proceeding through the whole. As I wondered at this the reason was given, namely, that as all things of the thought and will are inscribed on the brain, for their beginnings ar... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=463 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 549 549. The Lord from His Divine Essence, which is goodness, love, and mercy, is unable to deal in the same way with every man, because evils and their falsities prevent, and not only quench His Divine influx but even reject it. Evils and their falsities are like black clouds which interpose between the sun and the eye, and take away the sunshine and the serenity of its light; although the unceasing... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=549 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 488 488. How the delights of everyone's life are changed after death into things that correspond can be known from a knowledge of correspondences; but as that knowledge is not as yet generally known I will try to throw some light on the subject by certain examples from experience. All who are in evil and who have established themselves in falsities in opposition to the truths of the church, especially... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=488 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 34 34. FROM THE ARCANA COELESTIA Spiritual truths cannot be comprehended, unless the following universals are known: I. All things in the universe have relation to good and truth, and to the conjunction of both, in order that they may be anything; consequently to love and faith, and their conjunction. II. With man there is will and understanding, and the will is the recept... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=34 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 9 9. The doctrine of charity, which is the doctrine of life, was the doctrine itself in the ancient churches. Concerning these churches see in Arcana Coelestia (n. 1238, 2385). And that doctrine conjoined all churches, and thereby formed one church out of many. For they acknowledged all those as men of the church who lived in the good of charity, and called them brethren, however they might differ r... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=9 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 2 2. But he who thinks in this way does not consider that Jehovah Himself, the God of heaven and earth, spoke the Word through Moses and the prophets, and that it must therefore be Divine truth itself, for what Jehovah Himself speaks can be nothing else. Nor does he consider that the Lord, who is the same as Jehovah, spoke the Word that is in the Gospels, much of it with His own mouth, and the rest... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=2 The White Horse in Revelation Chapter 19; and the Word and Its Spiritual Sense (from Mysteries of Heaven) 14 14. The Lord is the Word. The Word in its inmost sense treats solely of the Lord, describing all the states of the glorification of His Human, that is, of its union with the Divine itself, and likewise all the states of the subjugation of the hells, and the reducing to order of all things therein, and in the heavens (n. 2249, 7014). Thus the inmost sense describes the Lord's whole life in the worl... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=wh§ion=14 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 58 58. The reason why the Word shines and is translucent with such, is that there is a spiritual and celestial sense in every particular of the Word, and these senses are in the light of heaven, so that through these senses and by their light the Lord flows into the natural sense, and into the light of it with a man. This causes the man to acknowledge the truth from an interior perception, and afterw... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=58 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 60 60. The contrary takes place with those who read the Word from the doctrine of a false religion, and still more with those who confirm that doctrine from the Word, having in view their own glory or this world's riches. With them the truth of the Word is as it were in the shade of night, and what is false is as in the light of day. They read what is true, but do not see it; and if they see the shad... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=60 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 86 86. That repetitions of the same thing occur in the Word on account of the marriage of good and truth, may be seen quite clearly from passages where "nations" and "peoples" are mentioned: Woe to the sinful nation, to a people laden with iniquity (Isa. 1:4). The peoples that walk in darkness have seen a great light: Thou hast multiplied the nation (Isa. 9:2... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=86 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 112 112. As it had been foretold that darkness would arise at the end of the present church in consequence of the lack of knowledge and acknowledgment of the Lord as being the God of heaven and earth, and also in consequence of the separation of faith from charity, therefore in order that by reason of this a genuine understanding of the Word might not perish, it has pleased the Lord at this present ti... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=112 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 13 13. VI. The state of the world and of the church before the Last Judgment was like evening and night, but after it, like morning and day. When the light of truth does not appear, and truth is not received, there is a state of the church in the world like evening and night; that there was a state before the Last Judgment, may appear from what is said above (n. 11); but when the light of truth appea... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=13 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 92 92. Hitherto it has not been known that angels and spirits are in a totally different light and different heat from men. It has not been known even that another light and another heat are possible. For man in his thought has not penetrated beyond the interior or purer things of nature. And for this reason many have placed the abodes of angels and spirits in the ether, and some in the stars - thus... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=92 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 124 124. THE QUARTERS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD ARE NOT FROM THE LORD AS A SUN, BUT FROM THE ANGELS ACCORDING TO RECEPTION. It has been stated that the angels dwell separate from each other; some in the eastern quarter, some in the western, some in the southern, and some in the northern; and that those who dwell in the eastern quarter are in a higher degree of love; those in the western, in a lower... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=124 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 138 138. This turning to the Lord is an actual turning, a kind of elevation; for there is an uplifting into the heat and light of heaven, which takes place by the opening of the interiors; when these are opened, love and wisdom flow into the interiors of the mind, and the heat and light of heaven into the interiors of the body. From this comes the uplifting, like a rising out of a cloud into clear air... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=138 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 156 156. The creation of the universe, and of all things of it, cannot be said to have been wrought from space to space, or from time to time, thus progressively and successively, but from eternity and from infinity; not from eternity of time, because there is no such thing, but from eternity not of time, for this is the same with the Divine; nor from infinity of space, because again there is no such... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=156
