Ten Commandments |
General: The "Decalogue" (=10 words) was given by God on Sinai in 1450 B.C. to the children of Israel to indicate that they must be obeyed from religion (from thoughts about heaven & hell) and not merely from natural legal, philosophical, or moral reasons.

When the Lord was a child (Abram & Sarai in Egypt) He was captivated by the delights of truth in memory-knowledges. But these were destroyed or subordinated to uses (or service to spiritual). Memory-knowledges accumulate as a constuction of reality through sensory input (called one's "house"), (bed, room, closet, chamber). |

The writings cannot be the Divine Word unless they have a hidden inner sense. This is evident from the observation that there are errors or "slips of the pen" in them, as well as outdated scientific illustrations. Since the writings were given for all times, the outdated examples & errors are appearances that contain a spiritual & eternal sense. This is analogous to the Old & New Testaments. |

Prior to regeneration, the interior of our natural is
occupied by evil and falses inherited from the mother. After regeneration, this evil is dispersed by the Lord (Conquest of Canaan) However the Father's inherited side remains to eternity.

. . . to love the self is to desire that what is another's be one's own. |
..... hell is not punishment for evil deeds, and heaven is not a reward for good works; instead, they are both habits of life we delight in. |
we are as-of self automatons, vessels into which goods and truths from the Lord flow in and appear as our own. |
According to Swedenborg . . . |
. . . to "love the neighbour" does not mean to love the person, but rather, to love the person's sincerity, wisdom, and goodwill; for when we love these things in the person, we love the things of the Lord in and with the person. This also means that we must not love the things in a person that are insincere, wrong, and selfish. |
