We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.

In heaven there are two distinct loves, love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, in the inmost or third heaven love to the Lord, in the second or middle heaven love towards the neighbor.

Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.

A man after death, is not a natural but a spiritual man; nevertheless he still appears in all respects like himself.

I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body; and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.

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.

Seen in its own right, a loving person's inner spirit is an angel of heaven, and while we are living in the body we are also in the company of angels, even though we are not aware of it; and once we are released from the body we join them.
