Hi everyone! I didn't come from any denominational background, and after much disillusionment within many fundamental churches, I searched for a God that seemed to make sense.
I was introduced to genius scientist Emanuel Swedenborg's works several years ago - who said he was called to reveal the mysteries of faith within the Bible, and later to A Course In Miracles. IMO, God has truly come to re-establish the reign of love in my life (and for others). Life has taken on real meaning, and many miraculous things have happened since then. I joined here to discuss many of their concepts.
Many of you may not have heard of Swedenborg. But it's a good chance that you may have heard of some of these people who were influenced by his works:
"For you Westerners, it is Swedenborg who is your Buddha, it is he who should be read and followed!" D. T. Suzuki, Zen Buddhist Scholar
"The most remarkable step in the religious history of recent ages is that made by the genius of Swedenborg." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"People who have had near-death experiences peek through the door of the after-life, but Swedenborg explored the whole house."
Kenneth Ring, founder of International Association for Near Death Studies
"Swedenborg's enormous work has been my companion throughout my entire life."
Henry Corbin, Islamic Scholar
"Do you know, I have come back to Swedenborg after vast studies of all religions, and after reading all the works published within the last sixty years? Swedenborg undoubtedly epitomizes all the religions - or rather the one religion - of humanity....Swedenborg's creed is the only acceptable one to superior souls." Honoré de Balzac
“Swedenborg enables us to understand why we were created, why we are alive, and what happens to us after our bodies die. Swedenborg enables us to have the best possible understanding of God’s message as it exists in those Bible books which constitutes God’s Word.” Martin Luther King Jr.
"It would be such a joy to me if I might be the instrument of bringing Swedenborg to a world that is spiritually deaf and blind." Helen Keller
Swedenborg "will probably 'make the deepest and broadest mark upon the religions of future ages here, of any man that ever walked the earth.' Walt Whitman, leading American poet of the nineteenth century
I'm also a huge Bob Dylan fan, and his gospel music in the 1980's made a big impact on my life too. I hope to share some of his music,other wonderful gospel music via youtube links. It has been said that music is a universal language and it is also healing.
Can't wait to get to chatting!
