Evil

All evil flows into us from hell, and all goodness flows into us through heaven from the Divine. But evil becomes part of us when we believe and persuade ourselves that we think and do evil from our own being. In this way we make evil our own.
- Arcana Coelestia 6206

If we would believe that evil flows into us from hell, then evil would not become part of us. For the moment that evil desire flows in, we would reflect that it comes from evil spirits; and as soon as we think this, the angels who are with us would ward it off and repel it.

Heaven and Hell 203


Hell and heaven are near to people, in fact, within people. Hell exists within people who are in a state of evil. Heaven exists within people who are in a state of goodness. Even more than this, to the extent that people are receptive of the goodness of heaven, they are in heaven right now.

Those who are in the stream of providence are at all times carried along toward everything that is happy, whatever may be the appearance of the means.
- Arcana Coelestia 8478

As far as we enter into the stream of providence, we come into a state of peace. As far as we are in a state of peace, we are in divine providence. Then we will know and believe that the divine providence of God is in everything, both in general and in particular.

Judgement

The Lord never judges anyone except from love, for he desires to raise all into heaven, and if it were possible, even to himself. For the Lord is Mercy and Goodness, and these cannot possibly condemn anyone.
- Arcana Coelestia 2335

If we choose to reject goodness, we condemn ourselves.
