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

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

Since God’s action is infinite and eternal, what happened to make this activity create a finite and physical world? I ask this because most physicists believe that there was a situation where time equaled zero. The Big Bang theory (with … 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
