“Marriages on earth--because they are the seminaries of the human race and of the angels of heaven also; because, likewise, they proceed from a spiritual origin, that is, from the marriage of good and truth; and since, in addition, the Lord's divine proceeding principally flows into conjugal love--are most holy in the estimation of the angels.”

Emanuel Swedenborg was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, and theologian. Born on January 29, 1688, and died on March 29, 1772. The surname 'Swedenborg' is derived from the Swedish word 'borg', meaning 'castle', hence his name can be translated as 'Manuel of the Castle'. Swedenborg made significant contributions to science, particularly in the fields of chemistry, mineralogy, and electricity. His ideas had a profound impact on later science and philosophy. more
