You cannot have humility when you love only yourself. Self-love is hard, and love to the Divine is soft. Self-love must be wholly crushed.

There is no such thing as mere chance and what seems to be haphazard, or fortune, is Providence at work in the last and lowest degree of order, in which all things are subject to comparative inconstancy.

You cannot be spiritually reborn without some knowledge of the new or spiritual life, of the true things that you ought to believe and the good things that you ought to do. You cannot learn these things on your own, because on your own you can comprehend things only through your physical senses. Your physical senses give you information about the material world and yourself, not about heaven and God. Spiritual knowledge comes only from revelation.
若没有新的或属灵生命的知识，不知何为该信的真理和该行的善，人就无法在灵性方面得以重生。人不能靠自己来学习这些，因为靠自己人只会通过肉体知觉来理解。肉体知觉让人明白物质世界和人自己，不会让人明白天堂和神。属灵的知识只来自启示。
（Emanuel Swedenborg, New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine 177）

The wisest of angels know that they have nothing of wisdom from themselves, and that acknowledging this is being wise. They know also that what they know is as nothing compared to what they do not know.
