Introduction / by Donald L. Rose -- Preface / by Emanuel Swedenborg -- The world of spirits and our state after death -- What the world of spirits is -- Each of us is inwardly a spirit -- Our revival from the dead and entry into eternal life -- After death, we are in a complete human form -- After death, we enjoy every sense, memory, thought, and affection we had in the world -- Our nature after death depends on the kind of life we led in the world -- Our first state after death -- Our second state after death -- Our third state after death is a state of instruction for people who are entering heaven -- It is not so hard to lead a heaven-bound life as people think it is -- Heaven -- The heavens are made up of countless communities -- Each community is a heaven in smaller form and each angel a heaven in smallest form -- The whole heaven reflects a single individual -- Each community in the heavens reflects a single individual -- Every angel is in perfect human form -- Owing to the Lord's divine human, in its entirety and its parts, heaven reflects a person -- There is a correspondence of everything in heaven with everything in the human being -- There is a correspondence of heaven with everything earthly -- The sun in heaven -- Light and warmth in heaven -- How the states of angels in heaven change -- Time in heaven -- The clothes angels appear in -- Angels' homes and houses -- Space in heaven -- Forms of government in heaven -- Divine worship in heaven -- The power of heaven's angels -- The language of angels -- How angels talk with us -- Written materials in heaven -- The wisdom of heaven's angels -- The state of innocence of angels in heaven -- The state of peace in heaven -- The union of heaven with the human race -- Heaven's union with us through the Word -- Heaven and hell come from the human race -- Non-Christians, or people outside the church, in heaven -- Children in heaven -- Rich and poor people in heaven -- Marriages in heaven -- What angels do in heaven -- Heavenly joy and happiness -- The vastness of heaven -- Hell -- The Lord governs the hells -- The Lord does not cast anyone into hell : spirits cast themselves in -- All the people who are in the hells are absorbed in evils and consequent falsities because of their loves of themselves and the world -- Hellfire and gnashing of teeth -- The malice and unspeakable skills of hellish spirits -- The appearance, location, and number of the hells -- The equilibrium between heaven and hell
