Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.

Charity is to will and do what is just and right in every transaction.

And as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.

Charity alone, or love and compassion, is what joins [the Lord and a person] together.

The nature of heaven is to provide a place there for all who lead good lives, no matter what their religion may be.

All our longings for what is loving and true reach out into heaven. They put us in touch with angels who are feeling the same way and unite us with them.

People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
