The Story
Emanuel Swedenborg was a successful scientist, inventor, and government official in Sweden during the 18th century. In his mid-50s, he began experiencing vivid dreams and visions that simulated a near-death experience, without physical danger to his body. He felt his body shutting down and his spirit rising, leaving the physical form. Loving angels surrounded and protected him during the transition, shielding his mind from disturbances. He gained spiritual sight when a covering was removed from his left eye. In the spiritual world, his spirit entered a realm where surroundings reflected his inner mind and heart. He gravitated toward communities based on shared loves, similar to gravity. In the world of spirits, a midway area, individuals choose between heaven—a state of joy in doing good—or hell—a state of joy in harming others. After these visions, Swedenborg spent the last 30 years of his life documenting his experiences in 30 volumes. He shifted from scientific pursuits to philosophical writings on the afterlife, influencing psychology and spirituality. He emphasized freedom, love as a guiding force, and the purpose of life as doing good for humanity.
