About This Book

The work argues that love is the essential life of human beings and that true life and love originate in the Divine, which appears to spiritual perception as a sun whose heat is love and whose light is wisdom. It teaches that angels and people are finite recipients of that Divine influx, that creation is formed to receive life, and that inner degrees of thought and affection determine spiritual life. Key themes include the correspondence between spiritual and natural phenomena, the nonspatial character of the Divine, and the way spiritual affection shapes experience of time, space, and understanding.

About the Author

Swedenborg, Emanuel portrait

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish philosopher, scientist, and theologian known for his extensive writings on spirituality and the nature of the afterlife. His works, which blend scientific inquiry with mystical insights, explore the relationship between the divine and humanity. Among his notable texts is "Heaven and its Wonders and Hell," where he describes his visions of the spiritual world. Swedenborg's ideas have influenced various religious movements and continue to be studied for their unique perspectives on the intersection of faith and reason.
