Spiritual Experiences #3919

Par Emanuel Swedenborg

3919. Good spirits, even angelic ones, were indignant, saying that I would be cast out of heaven if I were of that opinion. I was then instructed that truth cannot possibly exist with a person as his or her own, for all truth is from love; with man there is nothing but evil, love of self and of the world, hence whatever is from man, is falsity.
