Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to a Friend on Swedenborgianism Tyo this brief and necessarily very imperfect sketch of our view of Swedenborg's mind and state as an instrument, I will, for the sake of clearness, add a short summary of our belief respecting the uses to be performed by it and their necessity, which may gather what I wish to convey into one focus. We believe, that a great change has come over the human mind in modern times, which is still proceeding in an increasing ratio, from its progress in natural and scientific knowledge. That it has not progressed in like manner in spiritual and divine knowledge; and that con sequently men are now in a high degree of natural know ledge and in a low degree of spiritual knowledge. That, therefore, the power of worldly things over the human mind has greatly increased; and the power of spiritual things greatly decreased. That the mind of man is thus in an inverted position, because worldly things, which should be subordinate, are preeminent, and spiritual things, which should be preeminent, are subordinate. That man's belief in the Scriptures has been shaken, because many things supposed to be taught in them have been proved by science to be untrue, whereby the things of religion, which ought to be matters of faith, have become matters of doubt. That the Sacred Scriptures are nevertheless di vine, and therefore contain instruction for the human mind which is adapted for every state that it can possibly ao quire. That God will, by their means, restore again the mind of man to its true position and to order. That this will be effected, not by the destruction of the natural knowledge which he has acquired, but by the unfolding of a higher degree of wisdom and spiritual instruction from the Scriptures than any to which he has yet attained, which wisdom will govern and at the same time be in harmony with his natural knowledge. That the portal of access has been graciously opened by the Lord to this divine wisdom in his Word through the instrumentality of a human being properly endowed to instruct the church in the principles upon which the Scriptures must be studied for its attainment. That mankind, nevertheless, will for a time treat these views of the Holy Scriptures with con tempt, because the spirit of the present age closes the faculties of the human mind to spiritual knowledge. That still, some will see their value and receive them, and that the number of these will gradually increase, so as to form a Church, which Church will in time become the noblest that has yet existed on the earth. That the existence Of this church is predicted in the Revelations of St. John, and is there called the bride the Lamb's wife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter to a Swedenborgian Your movement is based upon an inadequate conception of the nature of the church. You do not view it as existing for distinctively human, that is, universal, ends. You regard it as its own end. The church, says Swedenborg, is a man; and it involves therefore every rightful element of hu man life. Thus it is a most real and universal existence, co extensive with the experience of human nature. You on the contrary make it a purely factitious, or artificial, existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reply to Rev. Dr. Woods' "Lectures on Swedenborgianism" Delivered in the Theological Seminary, Andover, Mass But from this dilemma you would obviously extricate your concession by the assumption that follows - and assumption it undoubtedly is, for there is nothing in the recorded biography of Swedenborg to warrant it. We look in vain for the least hint or intimation of such lucid intervals as you suppose between his visionary states during which he gave out his own speculations as distin guished from his extatic disclosures. He claims for all the writings published by himself subsequent to his illumination precisely the same degree of authority, and it is utterly at variance with everything known of the integrity of his charac ter to suppose, that he would have given us no criterion by which to discrim inste between what he thought and wrote from his own mind and what he received from the dictation or influx of angels. In a letter to a friend pub lished by Mr. Hartley, and giving the leading particulars of his life, he says, Whatever of worldly power and advantage may appear to be in the things above-mentioned, I hold them as comparatively matters of little moment, be cause, what is far better, I have been called to a holy office by the Lord himself, who most graciously manifested Himself to me His servant, in the year 1743, and then opened my sight into the -spiritual world and endowed me with the gift of conversing with Spirits and angels, which has been continued to me to this day. From that time I began to print and publish various arcana, that have either been seen by me, or revealed to me; as concerning heaven and hell; the state of men after death; the true worship of God; the spiritual sense of the Word; and many other most important matters tending to salvation and true wisdom; and the only motive which has induced me, at different times, to leave my home and visit foreign countries, was the desire of being useful, and of communicating the cream entrusted to me.

Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of Emanuel Swedenborg Illustrated written by Emanuel Swedenborg and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 16103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth century Christian mystic, philosopher and theologian, had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. At the age of 53, he entered into a spiritual phase in which he began to experience dreams and visions, culminating in a "spiritual awakening" in which he received a revelation that Christ had appointed him to reform Christianity. Swedenborg devoted his enormous energy to interpreting the Bible and to relating what he had seen and heard in the world of spirits and angels. His ‘Arcana Cœlestia’ and ‘Apocalypse Revealed’ provide thought-provoking commentaries on the internal spiritual meaning of Genesis, Exodus and the Book of Revelation, while his famous ‘Heaven and Hell’ gives a mesmerising account of the afterlife and how people live after the death of the physical body.
