"Hell and Heaven are near to people, in fact, within people. Hell exists within people who are in a state of evil. Heaven exists within people who are in a state of goodness. Even more than this, to the extent that people are receptive of the goodness of heaven, they are in heaven right now."-
Emanuel Swedenborg
"Truth does not shine from itself, because there is nothing flaming in it alone. It shines from goodness, for goodness is like a flame that gives forth light."-Emanual Swedenborg
