Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772)
Forfatter af Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell: Drawn From Things Heard & Seen
Om forfatteren
The son of a Swedish Lutheran pastor, professor, and court chaplain, Emanuel Swedenborg first became a scientist and mining engineer. Of brilliant intellect and wide-ranging interests, he explored many areas of nature, doing pioneering work in several fields. In 1743 he began to experience a series vis mere of visions of the spiritual world. Over subsequent years he maintained that he held conversations with angels, the departed, and even God, and that he had visited heaven and hell. Swedenborg penned a lengthy series of writings inspired by these encounters, based on the concept of a spiritual cosmos as model for the physical, an educative view of the afterlife, and the allegorical interpretation of Scripture. In 1774 the small Church of the New Jerusalem was founded explicitly on the basis of his revelations. Swedenborg's influence has been much wider than its membership. His teachings entered American culture generally through the popularity of several of his books and his impact on Spiritualism and the New England Transcendentalists.

Heaven and Hell af Emanuel Swedenborg
Given to Matthew Hayes - 05/11/2023
Testo interessante, per le sue influenze su arte e cultura, dell'illuminista svedese che, all'età di cinquantasette anni, iniziò il suo dialogo con l'aldilà e si trasformò in visionario mistico.
DESPERTAR TRAS LA MUERTE
Cuando el cuerpo ya no puede seguir desempeñando sus
funciones en el mundo físico acontece lo que conocemos
como la muerte. Pero, según Emmanuel Swedenborg, el
vidente más famoso de la historia, tras la muerte, la persona
real sigue viva en los mundos espirituales.
En el presente libro, un documento único en su género,
Swedenborg describe con gran lujo de detalles lo que le
ocurre al alma después de la muerte.
Swedenborg es autor de varios títulos acerca de lo que actualmente
se conoce como experiencias extracorporales; su particular visión
del universo, muy adelantada para su época, es muy similar a la de
la Física Cuántica del siglo veinte.
Cientifico, filósofo, místico y autor de gran número de obras religiosas,
Emmanuel Swedenborg nació en Suecia en 1688. Viajó por toda Europa
y vivió en Ámsterdam y Londres, tuvo fuertes experiencias religiosas y
consideró que podía dar cuenta de vislumbres tanto del cielo como del
infierno.
Estudió griego, latín, varias lenguas europeas y orientales, geología,
metalurgia, astronomía, matemáticas y economía en la Universidad de
Upsala.
Miembro de la Real Academia Sueca de la Ciencia, fue un hombre
eminentemente práctico que inventó el planeador, el submarino y un
cono para que oyeran los sordos. Su obra, inmensa, consta de más de 150
títulos y ha sido traducida a 30 idiomas.… (mere)

I had read Swedenborg's Heaven And Hell some time ago and thought it was a decent book, albeit somewhat delusory. This one I probably liked better, but it wasn't free of the same problems. There are some pretty profound ideas though. I especially liked Swedenborg's spiritual analogies (he calls them correspondences) between light/heat and wisdom/love respectively. He later on (specifically in section 9 -probably the best part of the book), makes a further analogy between love and wisdom and the heart and lungs. I must say that analogy sparked my interest and I thought it a profound notion. Some of the book suffers from contradiction, vain imaginings and theology that has more in common with Kabbalah than Christianity.
As with the Christian mystic Jacob Boehme, I have some amount of ambivalence towards Swedenborg. He can be profound, but also deluded. I do believe it is worth reading him because there is some gold among the dross. But I would really only recommend writers like this to Christians that are more mature and not easily given over to vain speculation.… (mere)
