I have no time to waste. p33 Dying means that your spirit is separated from your physical body. The separated spirit enters the spiritual world guided by angels. The physical body is like the clothes that the spirit wears. p37 The separation of the spirit from the physical body is called 'out-of-body experience'. Only the physical body dies. The real self never dies. It just leaves the earth and goes to the spiritual world to live there. p40 I agree with and like the 'Parable of the Butterfly'. The butterfly is a symbol of human life. A butterfly lives its life as an insect, and when the time comes, it sheds its insect clothes and becomes a butterfly, flying around the sky, looking for flowers to suck honey and making them bear fruit. For humans, life on earth is not all there is. p78 All fear comes from ignorance. Fear comes from not knowing what lies after death. p83 The first place where all those who die go is the 'intermediate spirit world'. This can be said to be the midpoint between earth and heaven. A human's life is determined by the actions of love during their earthly life. p94~95 Once a human is born on earth, they never die. However, when their life on earth ends, they simply shed their physical body on earth like taking off clothes and move to the spirit world. Like a cocoon (earth) that has escaped (the spirit world). p134~135 The length of time one stays in the intermediate spirit world is not fixed. Who would stay in the intermediate spirit world for a long time? These are people who lived hypocritical lives on earth, with different insides and outs. In the spirit world, there is nothing that is not revealed about the earth. p138, 140, 141 Humans are destined to commit big and small mistakes while living, whether intentionally or unintentionally. There is no one who lives on earth who is not a sinner. However, the only place where humans can be forgiven for the big and small sins they committed on earth is on earth. Once they leave their physical body and enter the spiritual world, all their sins on earth will never be erased. p143 In order to be forgiven for the mistakes they have committed, repentance or confession alone is not enough. Repentance must be put into action. In other words, they must do good deeds. They must consciously turn away from sin and make repeated efforts for eternal life. p144 A hundred years on earth is not even a moment in eternity. A hundred years on earth for humans is a period of personality testing through training and time given to prepare for eternal life. 178-179 Heaven is in the sky, but the path to heaven is on the ground. p204 We must strengthen our physical immunity as well as our spiritual immunity. p243 Only the achievements of love on earth are assets that we can take to heaven. When my life is immersed in goodness and altruistic love, the high-ranking angels of heaven come down to help me. p247 The population of the spirit world is all people who ascended from Earth. Heaven's will must be done on earth. When a person dies, everything becomes self-evident, but the wise know this principle before they die and exercise their free will correctly during their life on earth. p271, 274 Heaven is not the exclusive property of a specific religion. When you go to heaven, you will not be asked what religion you believed in. p282 This book, which is Swedenborg's personal experience, tells us what kind of life we ​​should live, regardless of religion. It is said that true peace comes when you have something to believe in. Helen Keller, a triple-disabled social worker, is said to have completely overcome her fear of death after reading Swedenborg's spiritual writings. #Afterlife #Death #GreatGift #Swedenborg
