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

THE DIVINE LOVE

"God's love for the human race is all encompassing. The Divine is not distant, indifferent, detached,
God is human, a Divine Human, and even as his love rejoices in our own joy, his mercy grieves with us in our times of grief and pain. We are never alone." - Emmanuel Swedenborg

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL LIFE?

"To flee from evil thoughts and deeds is the beginning of wisdom and life. Evil blocks love, while denial and false thinking block true wisdom. The greatest priority in spiritual growth is to discover the most dangerous selfish desire in our life, to ask God to remove it, and then to act in cooperation with God to begin a new life with it."- Emmanuel Swedenborg
