Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
Emanuel SwedenborgA man after death, is not a natural but a spiritual man; nevertheless he still appears in all respects like himself.
Emanuel SwedenborgIn the Christian world... it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them; and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell.
Emanuel SwedenborgEvery one may know that to will and not to do, when there is opportunity, is in reality not to will; and that to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it. Will, which stops short of action, and love, which does not do the good that is loved, is a mere thought separate from will and love, which vanishes and comes to nothing.
