| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Divine Love and Wisdom Emanuel Swedenborg, 2013-01-18 In Divine Love and Wisdom, Swedenborg uses reason and empirical facts to prove the existence of God and God's divine love. He further posits that we are all an essential part of God's Divine plan, and that without us God's plan could not come to fruition. |

| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Divine Love and Wisdom Emanuel Swedenborg, 2003 While many of Emanuel Swedenborgs writings rely heavily on the Bible, Divine Love and Wisdom appeals directly to human experience. It describes a loving God who is equally present with all people on earthregardless of race or religionand explores the underlying unity of all living things. |
| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Divine Love and Wisdom Emanuel Swedenborg, That this is little comprehended is evident from the common saying What is love? What it is, is not known for the reason that love is not manifest to the understanding, and the understanding is the receptacle of the light of heaven. What comes into that light is interiorly seen, for what a man thinks, that he has knowledge of. For this reason a man says that this or that is in the light of his understanding, also that he sees this to be so; likewise he prays that he may be enlightened and illumined by God. Moreover, there is spiritual light to which natural light corresponds, and it is from this that one says, with reference to his understanding, that he sees. and a wise man prays to be enlightened and to be illumined by God, that is, that he may understand. Man, therefore, can form no idea concerning love, for this reason, that although the understanding, by means of the thought, presents itself to be seen, love does not. And yet love is the very soul or life of thought, and if love be taken away thought grows cold and dies, like a flower deprived of heat; for love enkindles, vivifies, and animates thought. Set your mind at work and consider whether you can think apart from some affection that is of love; and you will find in your own case that it is impossible. From this it is plain that love is the life of the understanding and of thought therefrom; and what is the life of the understanding and of thought therefrom is also the life of the whole man; for it is the life of all the senses and of all motions, thus the life of the organs by means of which senses and motions exist. That it is also the life of the rest of the viscera, will be seen in what follows. It is not known what love is, for the further reason that man's love is universal life. By universal life is meant life that is in most minute particulars; for of these the term universal is used, as the term general is of parts. What is thus universal is perceived simply is a one; and a one without a particular perception of the particulars is obscure, comparatively as it is with an intense light that blinds the eye. Such also is the universal Divine in the most minute particulars of the world; consequently this Divine is so obscure to man as not to be manifest to the eye when opened, but only to the eye, when closed; for the whole of the world is a work of the Divine love and the Divine wisdom; and wisdom in its most minute particulars is, as was said before, an intense Divine light that blinds. |

| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Angelic Wisdom About Divine Providence Emanuel Swedenborg, 2006-01-01 The reader will find in this book a firm assurance of God's care of mankind as a whole and of each human being. The assurance is rested in God's infinite love and wisdom, the love pure mercy, the wisdom giving love its ways and means. It is further grounded in an interpretation of the universe as a spiritual-natural world, an interpretation fully set forth in the earlier book, Divine Love and Wisdom, on which the present work draws heavily. As there is a world of the spirit, no view of providence can be adequate which does not take that world into account. For in that world must be channels for the outreach of God's care to the human spirit. There also any eternal goal--such as a heaven from the human race--must exist. A view of providence limited to the horizons of the passing existence can hardly resemble the care which the eternal God takes of men and women who, besides possessing perishable bodies, are themselves creatures of the spirit and immortal. The full title of the book, Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence, implies that its author, in an other-world experience, had at hand the knowledge which men and women in heaven have of God's care. Who should know the divine guidance if not the men and women in heaven who have obviously enjoyed it? The laws of divine providence, hitherto hidden with angels in their wisdom, are to be revealed now.” As it is presented in this book, providence seeks to engage man in its purposes, and to enlist all his faculties, his freedom and reason, his will and understanding, his prudence and enterprise. It acts first of all on his volitions and thinking, to align them with itself. That it falls directly on history, its events and our circumstances, is a superficial view. It is man's inner life which first feels the omnipresent divine influence and must do so. If we cannot be lifted to our best selves and if our aims and outlook cannot be modified for the better, how shall the world be bettered which we affect to handle? Paramount in God's presence with all men, if only in their possibilities, is His providential care. This care, to which man's inner life is open, is alert every moment, not occasional. It is gentle and not tyrannical, constantly respecting man's freedom and reason, otherwise losing him as a human being. It has set this and other laws for itself which it pursues undeviatingly. The larger part of the book is an exposition of these laws in the conviction that by them the nature of providence is best seen. Is it not to be expected in a universe which has its laws, and in which impersonal forces are governed by laws, that the Creator of all should pursue laws in His concern with the lives of conscious beings? To fit a world of laws must not the divine care have its laws, too? Adjustment of thought about divine providence to scientific thought is not the overriding necessity, for scientific thought must keep adjusting to laws which it discerns in the physical world. In consonance, religious thought seeks to learn the lawful order in the guidance of the human spirit. Do not each and all things in tree or shrub proceed constantly and wonderfully from purpose to purpose according to the laws of their order of things? Why should not the supreme purpose, a heaven from the human race, proceed in similar fashion? Can there be anything in its progress which does not proceed with all constancy according to the laws of divine providence? |

| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Doctrine of Sacred Scriptures Emanuel Swedenborg, Doctrine of Holy Scripture THE HOLY SCRIPTURE OR WORD IS DIVINE TRUTH It is in everybody's mouth that the Word is from God, is Divinely inspired, and is therefore holy; and yet hitherto no one has known wherein it is Divine. For in the letter the Word appears like a common writing, in a style that is strange, and neither so sublime nor so brilliant as apparently are the writings of the day. For this reason a man who worships nature as God, or in preference to God, and who consequently thinks from himself and what is proper to himself, and not from heaven from the Lord, may easily fall into error in respect to the Word, and into contempt for it, and while reading it may say to himself, What is this? What is that? Can this be Divine? Could God, whose wisdom is infinite, speak in this manner? Wherein consists its holiness, and whence comes its holiness, except from religious feeling and its consequent persuasion? But he who thinks in this way does not consider that Jehovah Himself, the God of heaven and earth, spoke the Word through Moses and the prophets, and that it must therefore be Divine truth itself, for what Jehovah Himself speaks can be nothing else. Nor does he consider that the Lord, who is the same as Jehovah, spoke the Word that is in the Gospels, much of it with His own mouth, and the rest from the spirit of His mouth, which is the Holy Spirit. This is why, as He Himself says, there is Life in His words, that He is the Light which enlightens, and that He is the Truth. |
| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Angelic Wisdom Concerning The Divine Love And The Divine Wisdom Emanuel Swedenborg, 2013-11-19 This work, originally published in 1763, treats of the operation of Divine love and Divine wisdom in the creation of the universe, including man as the chief end of creation. It explains the trinal distinction that exists in all created things, from the trinity in God, and shows how this is manifested in man, who is the image of the Divine. It unfolds the doctrine of Degrees, and explains the three discrete degrees of the human mind, showing how these are opened, and what is effected thereby. It also explains the origin of evil uses, and the origin, design, and tendency of good uses. It sets forth fully and clearly the philosophical basis of these doctrines; and is a work that no student of philosophy can afford to overlook. |

| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Angelic Wisdom Concerning Divine Love and Wisdom Emanuel Swedenborg, 1986 Swedenborg Foundation Publishers is celebrating 150 years of publishing activity in America, a milestone we have dubbed our Sesqui, short for Sesquicentennial. You will see a whole new dynamic, honoring both our 150th anniversary and the new millennium, as you examine the books on the following pages. We have our largest, most dynamic publication schedule ever -- 15 titles for 2000, including a number of compelling trade books in our Chrysalis line, treating topics such as partnership as spiritual practice, gardening for spiritual sustenance, and the mystical emergence of a feminist baby-boomer. What else is new at the Swedenborg Foundation in its 150th year? We have begun a momentous, twelve-year project to retranslate Swedenborg's entire corpus, offering a contemporary expression of his thought that provides meaningful access for today's reader. Each volume will contain a contextualizing preface and scholarly annotations. The first two volumes -- Heaven and Hell, and Scribe of Heaven, an introductory volume of scholarly essays on Swedenborg's work and influence -- will be published in the fall of 2000. This translation project is the first to be undertaken with unified standards by a single entity, and we intend it to ignite a renaissance of interest in this brilliant thinker and potent visionary, one of the world's three greatest intellects -- along with Goethe and John Stuart Mill -- according to Stanford University researchers who created a data program to calculate the IQs of history's great minds. Outlines God's purpose in creating the natural universe, examining the means, structure, method, and goal. |
| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: The Lord Emanuel Swedenborg, 2014 Throughout his writings, the eighteenth-century scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg uses the term Lord to mean Jesus Christ as the embodiment of God. In this short work, he emphasizes that the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three coexisting divine Persons but are three aspects within one divine Person--Jesus in his resurrection. The Lord also touches on key themes in Swedenborg's theology--why the Lord came to earth, the meaning of his human death and resurrection, and how the Old Testament foretold his coming--with extensive biblical references to support his arguments. He concludes by describing the New Jerusalem as both the city foretold in Revelation and the new spiritual age now unfolding. This new translation of The Lord (traditionally titled The Doctrine of the Lord), as part of the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg, incorporates the latest scholarship and translation standards for a more accurate and accessible rendering of Swedenborg's work. |

| swedenborg divine love and wisdom: Heaven and Hell: From Things Heard and Seen, a Book on Christian Life After Death; God, the Angels, and the Devil (Hardcover) Emmanuel Swedenborg, John C. Ager, 2018-08-13 Emmanuel Swedenborg's guide to the afterlife, and the importance of the human connection to God, remains one of the most celebrated Enlightenment-era works on the subject. Originally published in Latin during the mid-18th century, Swedenborg's treatise contains rich allusions not merely to the realms of the afterlife, but also to the principles of Christianity. The nature of marriage, an argument against polygamy, and the concept of a spirit world, and how spiritual matters influence human will, are some of the notions raised by Swedenborg that render his thoughts enchanting. According to Swedenborg, the entirety of this text was inspired after he had received a divine revelation from God himself. This was simply the notion that God is the very essence of love in the universe, and that His divine force intends for every human being to go to heaven. He never descends into anger or hatred, and the traversal of every human spirit into heaven was His intention by the very act of Creation. |
