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

Heaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.

Everything good or true that the angels inspire in us is God's, so God is constantly talking to us. He talks very differently, though, to one person than to another.

The more one is absorbed in so-called philosophy, the greater one's delusion and blindness.

One's distance from Heaven is in proportion to the measure of one's self-love.

Times of happiness, bliss, and sheer delight intensify as the higher levels of our minds are opened within us One our life on earth is over, these levels keep rising forever.

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.
