"We might think of true power as the ability to move people or objects in the direction of our choosing. But this is not true spiritual power, the kind that brings happiness, healing, and life. Real power is from God. The power of life itself and all its healing qualities come from love."-
Emanuel Swedenborg
"Earth-bound people experience bliss when they are richer than others and possess the world's wealth. But when they become spiritual, they are in their bliss when they have knowledge of what is true and good, which is their treasure." - Emanuel Swedenborg
"We need to provide food and clothing for our bodies. This is a first and primary goal. But we do this so that we may have sound minds in sound bodies. We need to provide food for the mind as well. Our minds need to be in a state to serve God." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"The Lord's church is spread over the whole globe, and so is universal. All who live a good life according to their own religious belief are members of it." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"Even though truth is timeless, when it is understood by the mind and felt by the human heart, it makes all things new. The human spirit is lifted up to a new awareness of reality and of the spiritual possibilities in life." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"Our spirits are a microcosm of our greater connection with either heaven or hell. Heaven and hell are not only places we go to after death, but are also states that exist within our spirit right now." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"As far as we enter into the stream of providence, we come into a state of peace. As far as we are in a state of peace, we are in divine providence. Then we will know and believe the divine providence of God is in everything, both in general and in particular." -
Emanuel Swedinborg
"When you have a humble heart, you will know that wisdom is perceiving that the things in which you are wise are scarcely anything compared with the things in which you are not wise. -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"There is an old familiar saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This is because to intend a good deed but never to act upon it is actually a failure of goodwill. When we fail to act on our good intentions, we lose the intention itself. Love needs a home in action or will die." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"The more nearly you become one with the Lord, the more distinctly you appear to yourself to be your own master, any yet the more clearly you recognise that you belong to the Lord."-
Emanuel Swedenborg
"After death everyone enters into the hell or the heaven in which he or she had predominantly chosen to live while in the world." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"So far as you approach and draw near to God, doing so entirely as if of your own accord, so far does God approach and draw near to you, and becomes one with you in your inmost being." -
Emanuel Swedenborg
"Modern life places too much emphasis on the here and now. Though it is important not to focus full attention on a particular time in the distant future, raising our thoughts above time and space toward what is infinite and eternal raises our mind above the whirlwind of temporal life."-Emanuel Swedenborg
