. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Cosmic Connection
Nothing unconnected ever occurs, for anything unconnected
would instantly perish. - Arcana Coelestia 2556
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Divine Providence
33 The Lord does not withdraw us from our personal
hell unless we see that we are in hell and wish to be led out. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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. - Arcana Coelestia 6206
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . Innocence Innocence
is the essential element of love and goodness. -
Arcana Coelestia 3994
The heart of innocence is the acknowledgment that all that is true and good
comes from the Lord and that none of it originates in oneself. And so, innocence
is a desire to led by the Lord, not by self.- Arcana
Coelstia 3994 Divine providence is universal.
It is present in the most minute things. - Arcana
Coelestia 8748 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.
- Arcana Coelestia 8478 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 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.
- Arcana Coelestia 2335 . . . . . . . . .

has the power only through wisdom. - True
Christian Religion 784 True worship of God consists
in living according to God's ways. This is also true love of God and true faith
in God. When we live a life of love and kindness, our life is continual worship.
- Arcana Coelestia 10143 . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Prayer Prayer
is truth coming from the heart, and we are continually at prayer when we live
according to that truth. - Apocalypse Explained

we behold the face of God. - True Christian Religion
