"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life; and may enter in through the
gates into the city."
--_Rev_., XXII, 14
"Thou wilt show me the path of life; In Thy presence is
fulness of joy; At Thy right hand there are pleasures
forevermore."
--_Psalm_, XVI, 11
"THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU"
Heaven is in a man; and they who have heaven within themselves, come
into heaven. Heaven in a man is to acknowledge the Divine, and to be
led by the Divine.
Every angel receives the heaven which is around him according to the
heaven which is within him. Unless heaven is within a man, none of the
heaven around him flows in and is received.
Love to the Lord is the love regnant in the heavens; for there the
Lord is loved above all things. Thus the Lord is All in all there. He
flows into all the angels, and into each of them. He disposes them; He
induces a likeness of Himself on them, and causes Heaven to be where
He is. Hence an angel is heaven in the least form; a society is heaven
in a greater form; and all the societies together are heaven in the
greatest form.
