THE SCIENCE OF CORRESPONDENCES

...all things of nature, and likewise of the human body, and also every single particular in them,

correspond to spiritual things. Hitherto, however, it has not been known

 what correspondence is, although in the most ancient times this was very well known;

 for the science of correspondences was then the science of sciences...

                                                                                                               Emanuel Swedenborg  DSS 20.

...truths with man are what pray, and man is continually in such prayers when he lives according to truths.    

                                                                                                                        Emanuel Swedenborg AE 493

...good is the essence of truth, and truth is the form of good, and without form there can be no quality.

                                                                                                                     Emanuel Swedenborg TCR753.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

                                                                                                                                           Psalms 12.6.

... The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:  Neither shall they say,

 Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
                                                                                                   Luke 17:20,21

... But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh:

I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:

and they shall teach no more everyone their neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh;

for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yahweh:

for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

                                                                                                                        Jeremiah 31

...he who grasps the idea of correspondence in its amazing sweep, and sees its infinite bearings,
will find not only in the Bible a new revelation, but the whole outward world will be changed.
Nature will become a sublime poem. Mountains and valeys, trees and forests, rivers and lakes,
and all living and moving things, will be words and letters full of heav­enly import, he will live
and move in a new earth, and beneath new heavens. Every object he beholds will re­mind him
of something spiritual. Earth will wear new charms, for all its forms of beauty are but the
 counterpart of things that exist beneath the sun of a higher sky.       W. F. Evans
