God created us in such a way that our inner self is in the spiritual world and our outer self is in the physical world. This was so that the spiritual part of us, which belongs in heaven, could be planted in the physical part the way a seed is planted in the ground.
Emanuel SwedenborgAll 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.
Emanuel SwedenborgHeaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.
Emanuel SwedenborgThe end of creation is that all things may return to the Creator and be united with Him.
