TELLING THE TRUTH


"A person can say something 'truthful' that is literally correct but not necessarily right. Similarly, a person can express something true that isn't necessarily good. To speak the truth alone without love is to speak from judgment without mercy. Love gives truth its light ans its healing power. Any real truth has love within it and leads to good actions."- Emanuel Swedenborg

WHAT IS HEAVEN and HELL?

"Heaven and Hell are actual spiritual abodes, but they are also states of life and of mind. We create our own Heaven and Hell by the free choices we make in life. For those of us who are trying to escape the hell we have created for ourselves, the Lord is always ready to offer a hand and draw us up to higher ground. But this cannot be accomplished unless we see the state we are in, desire to be set free, and take his hand." - Emmanuel Swedenborg
