Emanuel Swedenborg citáty

Emanuel Swedenborg bol švédsky filozof, vedec, mystik a teozof.

Bol známy svojimi prácami z matematiky, mechaniky, astronómie a baníctva; spočiatku boli jeho práce preniknuté duchom racionalizmu leibnizovsko- wolffovského typu. Neskôr sa vyhlásil sa jasnovidca a začal alegoricky komentovať bibliu. Na jeho teozofické učenie mal vplyv gnosticizmus a židovská kabala. Wikipedia

Emanuel Swedenborg: Citáty v angličtine

“They think this is renouncing the world and living for the spirit and not for the flesh. However, the actual case is quite different, as I have learned from an abundance of experience and conversation with angels. In fact, people who renounce the world and live for the spirit in this fashion take on a mournful life for themselves, a life that is not open to heavenly joy, since our life does remain with us [after death]. No, if we would accept heaven's life, we need by all means to live in the world and to participate in its duties and affairs. In this way, we accept a spiritual life by means of our moral and civic life; and there is no other way a spiritual life can be formed within us, no other way our spirits can be prepared for heaven.”

Heaven and Hell #528
Kontext: Some people believe it is hard to lead the heaven-bound life that is called "spiritual" because they have heard that we need to renounce the world and give up the desires attributed to the body and the flesh and "live spiritually." All they understand by this is spurning worldly interests, especially concerns for money and prestige, going around in constant devout meditation about God, salvation, and eternal life, devoting their lives to prayer, and reading the Word and religious literature. They think this is renouncing the world and living for the spirit and not for the flesh. However, the actual case is quite different, as I have learned from an abundance of experience and conversation with angels. In fact, people who renounce the world and live for the spirit in this fashion take on a mournful life for themselves, a life that is not open to heavenly joy, since our life does remain with us [after death]. No, if we would accept heaven's life, we need by all means to live in the world and to participate in its duties and affairs. In this way, we accept a spiritual life by means of our moral and civic life; and there is no other way a spiritual life can be formed within us, no other way our spirits can be prepared for heaven. This is because living an inner life and not an outer life at the same time is like living in a house that has no foundation, that gradually either settles or develops gaping cracks or totters until it collapses.

“A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.”

New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine #124

“A person who knows all that is good and all that is true — as much as can be known — but does not resist evils, knows nothing.”
Homo qui scit omnia bona et omnia vera, quotcunque sciri possunt, et non fugit mala, nihil scit

Apocalypse Explained #1180

“All religion relates to life, and the life of religion is to do good.”

The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Concerning Life #1
