The Seer

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, theologian, and mystic who is best known for his significant contributions to religious thought and his exploration of the spiritual world. Swedenborg's mystical experiences led him to write extensively on theology, spirituality, and the afterlife. His theological works include Heaven and Hell, Arcana Coelestia (Secrets of Heaven), and The Divine Love and Wisdom. He developed a unique theological system that emphasized the importance of inner spiritual understanding and moral living.

The Scribe

Back in 1988, I was working for Wessex Water Authority in Bath, England. I liked to peruse the local second hand Book shops and on one occasion I found a book in the religious section called The Compendium of Swedenborg. I had never heard of the author but the chapter titles seemed very interesting as they seemed similar to Mormon doctrine which I was familiar with having been a member of said church since 1980.

I puchased the book for £5 and this was the beginning of my interest in the great Emanuel Swedenborg who my wife nicknamed Brother Swede. There are many sites devoted to the life & works of Swedenborg. This is my personal attempt to gather as much as useful in one place.
