Heaven and its Wonders and Hell

All freedom pertains to love or affection, since whatever a man loves he does freely (n. 2870, 3158, 8987, 8990, 9585, 9591).

Since freedom pertains to love it is the life of everyone (n. 2873).

Nothing appears to be man's own except what is from freedom (n. 2880).

There is heavenly freedom and infernal freedom (n. 2870, 2873, 2874, 9589, 9590).

[2] Heavenly freedom pertains to heavenly love, or the love of good and truth (n. 1947, 2870, 2872).

And as the love of good and truth is from the Lord freedom itself consists in being led by the Lord (n. 892, 905, 2872, 2886, 2890-2892, 9096, 9586, 9587, 9589-9591).

Man is led into heavenly freedom by the Lord through regeneration (n. 2874, 2875, 2882, 2892).

Man must have freedom in order to be regenerated (n. 1937, 1947, 2876, 2881, 3145, 3146, 3158, 4031, 8700).

In no other way can the love of good and truth be implanted in man, and appropriated by him seemingly as his own (n. 2877, 2879, 2880, 2888).

Nothing is conjoined to man in a state of compulsion (n. 2875, 8700).

If man could be reformed by compulsion all would be saved (n. 2881).

In reformation compulsion is harmful (n. 4031).

All worship from freedom is worship, but worship from compulsion is not worship (n. 1947, 2880, 7349, 10097).

Repentance must be effected in a free state, and repentance effected in a state of compulsion is of no avail (n. 8392).

States of compulsion, what they are (n. 8392).

[3] It is granted to man to act from the freedom of reason, to the end that good may be provided for him, and this is why man has the freedom to think and will even what is evil, and to do it so far as the laws do not forbid (n. 10777).

Man is kept by the Lord between heaven and hell, and thus in equilibrium, that he may be in freedom for the sake of reformation (n. 5982, 6477, 8209, 8987).

What is implanted in freedom endures, but not what is implanted under compulsion (n. 9588).

For this reason no one is ever deprived of his freedom (n. 2876, 2881). The Lord compels no one (n. 1937, 1947).

Compelling one's self is from freedom, but not being compelled (n. 1937, 1947).

A man ought to compel himself to resist evil (n. 1937, 1947, 7914).

Also to do good as if from himself, and yet to acknowledge that it is from the Lord (n. 2883, 2891, 2892, 7914).

Man has a stronger freedom in the temptation combats in which he conquers, since he then compels himself more interiorly to resist, although it appears otherwise (n. 1937, 1947, 2881).

[4] Infernal freedom consists in being led by the loves of self and of the world and their lusts (n. 2870, 2873).

Those who are in hell know no other freedom (n. 2871).

Heavenly freedom is as far removed from infernal freedom as heaven is from hell (n. 2873, 2874).

Infernal freedom, which consists in being led by the loves of self and of the world, is not freedom but servitude (n. 2884, 2890).

For servitude is in being led by hell (n. 9586, 9589-9591).
