So far as the Angels are recipients of that spiritual heat and light they are loves and wisdoms, not loves and wisdoms for themselves, but from the Lord.

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

Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.

We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.

In 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.

People who have intended and loved what is evil in the world intend and love what is evil in the other life, and then they no longer allow themselves to be led away from it. This is why people who are absorbed in evil are connected to hell and actually are there in spirit; and after death they crave above all to be where their evil is. So after death, it is we, not the Lord, who cast ourselves into hell.

Goodness and love mould the form into their own image, and cause the joy and beauty of love to shine forth from every part of the face.
