Emanuel Swedenborg Quotes

The spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger.

The spirit is larger than the body. The body is pathetic compared to what we have inside us

The real things about man are not his body.

In truth, you are spirit. The body has been projected by the mind, which itself originates from Spirit.

It’s not the body that people love, but the soul. The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver. I see through my eyes, smell through my nose, taste through my tongue, hear through my ears, feel through my skin, think through my brain, and love through my heart. But who am I? Who is the witness, enjoyer and sufferer that activates my body?

What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul.

We are more than just flesh and bones. There's a certain spiritual nature and something of the mind that we can't measure. We can't find it. With all our sophisticated equipment, we cannot monitor or define it, and yet it's there.

The authentic self is the soul made visible.

The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.

To me, the soul is a part of us that never dies. It's what we come in with.

Your soul isn't in your body; your body is in your soul!

The soul is the truth of who we are.

All we are is in the soul.

The body was a cage, and inside that cage was something which looked, listened, feared, thought and marveled; that something, that remainder left over after the body had been accounted for, was the soul.

Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.

Human spirit, things that aren't tangible, fascinate me, so I'm always researching mind, spirit, soul.

There is something more spiritual to us than what we are on this earth, but how you access it I'm not sure.

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

The True Self is not our creation, but God's. It is the self we are in our depths. It is our capacity for divinity and transcendence.

Here is where our real selfhood is rooted, in the divine spark or seed, in the image of God imprinted on the human soul. The True Self is not our creation, but God's. It is the self we are in our depths. It is our capacity for divinity and transcendence.

I'm interested in the eternal soul. That's what I write about.

I am Walter, a body, but more important than the body is my spirit.

You can't find the soul with a scalpel.

The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who's on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it's alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.

That energy field can be called God, soul, spirit, or consciousness.
