In the Spiritual World, mindreading becomes body language
According to the spiritual observations of scientist/theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, people in the “other” world can all read the content of each other’s hearts and minds. The reason Swedenborg gives for this is that one’s spiritual body consists of psycho-organic forms … Continue reading →

The deeper you probe reality, the more perfection increases itself
This idea, which was greatly promoted by the scientist/theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, can be readily verified when we put various natural objects under a microscope. New wonders open up to us when we examine more interior levels of structure. Such thinking … Continue reading →

The biblical phrase “And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying…” is filled with science
According to scientist/theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, this biblical phrase found in Exodus marks the beginning of a new series of unified events that follow the laws and steps of universal creation and subsistence. Today we would call this kind of thinking … Continue reading →
Hypnotism, blood circulation and spirituality
One of the things I admire about Emanuel Swedenborg’s theology is that he always found ways to explain highly abstract ideas with tangible biological processes. Blood-flow is just one such example that he used to make an analogy between the … Continue reading →
Swedenborg and Gurdjieff’s search for higher mind
One of the major discoveries about the “human potential” made by both Emanuel Swedenborg and George Gurdjieff is that all humans have innate and deeper levels of mental activity. This deeper level of perception, understanding and feeling is fully developed … Continue reading →
Swedenborg’s “other” revelation
I have long held that Emanuel Swedenborg’s scientific discoveries are still more advanced than contemporary scientific theories. For instance, he was not only the father of the neuron theory (brain cells) but anticipated the search for deeper neural substrates that … Continue reading →
God had to make some changes to create the physical world

A physicist/student wants me to explain what “pre-space” and “pre-Planck” action is
One of the biggest frustrations of blogging is that people tend to think that my sole reason for existence is to give information out freely. I indeed do, to some extent, but I use my short blog posts to create … Continue reading →

Science and Religion have the same puzzle to solve
Pioneering theoretical physicists are now contemplating the idea that foundational issues—the laws and forces which produce the physics that rule the universe—have a pre-space and pre-time beginning. This challenge comes from a logical contemplation of the Big Bang theory and … Continue reading →

God has given humans the most sensitive nose in all the animal kingdom
This notion may seem self-evidently false. While many animals do indeed have better noses and a keener sense of smell than humans, their ability is constrained to the physical world of nature. Humans however, can “sniff out” metaphysical qualities. You … Continue reading →
