The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 292 292. They who make the Human of the Lord like the human of another man, do not think of His conception from the Divine itself, nor do they consider that the body of everyone is an effigy of his soul. Neither do they think of His resurrection with the whole body; nor of His appearance when He was transformed, that His face shone as the sun. Neither do they think, respecting those things which the L... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=292 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 306 306. The trinity is in the Lord. Christians were examined in the other life concerning the idea they had of one God, and it was found that they had an idea of three Gods (n. 2329, 5256, 10736-10738, 10821). The Divine Trinity may be conceived of in one Person, and thus as one God, but not in three Persons (n. 10738, 10821, 10822). The Trinity in one Person, thus in the Lord, is the Divine itself,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=306 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 21 21. At the present day many think of the Lord no otherwise than as of a common man like themselves, because they think solely of His Human, and not at the same time of His Divine, when yet His Divine and His Human cannot be separated. For the Lord is God and Man, and God and Man in the Lord are not two, but one Person, yes, altogether one, just as soul and body are one man, according to the doctri... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=21 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 51 51. i. The Word cannot be understood without doctrine. This is because the Word in the sense of the letter consists exclusively of correspondences, to the end that things spiritual and celestial may be simultaneous or together therein, and that every word may be their container and support. For this reason, in some places in the sense of the letter the truths are not naked, but clothed, and are th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=51 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 69 69. From all this it is evident that in the Word alone (through the fact that it is conjunction with the Lord and association with the angels) there is spirit and life, as the Lord teaches: The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life (John 6:63). The water that I shall give you shall be in you a fountain of water springing up into eternal life (John 4:1... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=69 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 19 19. Charity and faith in a man are related to each other precisely as are the motion of the heart called systole and diastole, and that of the lungs called breathing. Moreover there is a full correspondence of these two with man's will and understanding, and therefore with charity and faith. For this reason the will and its affection are meant in the Word by the "heart," and the understa... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=19 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 30 30. There are many who possess no internal acknowledgment of truth, and yet have the faith of charity. These are they who have had regard to the Lord in their life, and from religion have avoided evils, but have been prevented from thinking about truths by worldly cares and by their businesses, as well as by a lack of truth on the part of their teachers. But inwardly, that is, in their spirit, the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=30 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 39 39. V. THE ENGLISH IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. There are two states of thought with man, an external and an internal state; man is in the external state in the natural world, in the internal state in the spiritual world: these states make one with the good, but not with the evil. What a man is as to his internal, is rarely manifest in the natural world, because from his infancy, he has wished t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=39 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 83 83. XII. THE QUAKERS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. There are enthusiastic spirits, separated from all others, of such gross perception, that they believe themselves to be the Holy Spirit. When Quakerism commenced, these spirits, being drawn out as it were from encircling forests where they were wandering, obsessed many; infusing the persuasion that they were moved by the Holy Spirit; and because... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=83 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 38 38. In the Word, Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are meant by "righteousness" and "judgment," Divine Love by "righteousness," and Divine Wisdom by "judgment;" for this reason "righteousness" and "judgment" are predicated in the Word of God; as in David: Righteousness and judgment are the support of Thy Throne (Ps. 89:14). ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=38 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 145 145. In the spiritual world ways are seen, laid out like ways in the natural world; some leading to heaven, and some to hell; but the ways leading to hell are not visible to those going to heaven, nor are the ways leading to heaven visible to those going to hell. There are countless ways of this kind; for there are ways which lead to every society of heaven and to every society of hell. Each spiri... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=145 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 257 257. The effects are these: (1) The natural mind may be raised up to the light of heaven in which angels are, and may perceive naturally, thus not so fully, what the angels perceive spiritually; nevertheless, man's natural mind cannot be raised into angelic light itself. (2) By means of his natural mind, raised to the light of heaven, man can think, yea, speak with angels; but the thought and spee... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=257 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 262 262. By virtue of the reaction which is in him from birth the natural mind, or man, when he loves himself and the world above all things, acts against the things that are of the spiritual mind or man. Then also he has a sense of enjoyment in evils of every kind, as adultery, fraud, revenge, blasphemy, and other like things; he then also acknowledges nature as the creator of the universe; and confi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=262 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 270 270. (5) All evils and their falsities, both engendered and acquired, have their seat in the natural mind. Evils and their falsities have their seat in the natural mind, because that mind is, in form or image, a world; while the spiritual mind in its form or image is a heaven, and in heaven evil cannot be entertained. The spiritual mind, therefore, is not opened from birth, but is only in the capa... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=270 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 287 287. That love and wisdom are man is further evident from the fact that the angels of heaven are men in beauty in the measure in which they are in love and its wisdom from the Lord. The same is evident from what is said of Adam in the Word, that he was created into the likeness and into the image of God (Gen. 1:26), because into the form of love and wisdom. Every man on earth is born into the huma... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=287 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 359 359. Man cannot be an image of God, after His likeness, unless God is in him and is his life from the inmost. That God is in man and, from the inmost, is his life, follows from what has been shown above (n. 4-6), that God alone is life, and that men and angels are recipients of life from Him. Moreover, that God is in man and that He makes His abode with him, is known from the Word; for which reaso... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=359 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 387 387. Man's mind is his spirit, and the spirit is the man, because by the mind all things of man's will and understanding are meant, which things are in first principles in the brains and in derivatives in the body; therefore in respect to their forms they are all things of man. This being so, the mind (that is, the will and understanding) impels the body and all its belongings at will. Does not th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=387 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 397 397. Now that man may not by the understanding be in heaven while by the will he is in hell, as is possible, and may thereby have a divided mind, after death everything of the understanding which transcends its own love is removed; whereby it comes that in everyone the will and understanding finally make one. With those in heaven the will loves good and the understanding thinks truth; but with tho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=397 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 404 404. (6) After the nuptials, the first conjunction is through affection for knowing, from which springs affection for truth. By the nuptials is meant man's state after birth, from a state of ignorance to a state of intelligence, and from this to a state of wisdom. The first state which is one of pure ignorance, is not meant here by nuptials, because there is then no thought from the understanding,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=404
