People become more of what they are. The decisions you make on earth set your direction. The righteous in Heaven have good habits that only get better unto eternity. The wicked continue to get worse because that is the direction they have set for themselves, which is to increase their slavery to the obsessions and compulsions they loved during life. The righteous however are freed from these compulsions and have the liberty to rejoice in God's love and truth in whatever manner they choose.
And you know this how exactly?
The question was about doctrine that comes from revelation.
Who received the revelation, from what was it received, and where is there documentation of their revelation? Whose doctrine is this and where is that documented?
(And if this is all something Swedenborg dreamed after eating a spicy meal, please say so.)
