Who is Swedenborg? A visionary of great brilliance with an estimated IQ of 200, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) spoke nine languages, wrote works covering seventeen sciences, excelled in seven crafts, was a musician, a member of the Swedish parliament, and the inventor of a glider, a submarine, and an ear trumpet for the deaf. Swedenborg was a physicist who anticipated Einstein by two hundred years; an astronomer who suggested the nebular theory of the formation of the planets; a mining engineer who produced the first Swedish texts on algebra and calculus; a physiologist who discovered the function of several areas of the brain and the ductless glands, and the designer of the world's largest dry-dock. His earthly accomplishments would have filled a dozen lifetimes. But they were not enough for Swedenborg, who pressed his search for the human soul beyond material intellect into the spiritual world. Not content with the limits of the physical senses, Swedenborg opened himself up to vistas that only spiritual senses can detect, and became a messenger bearing news of the world and beyond and within. He wrote 35 volumes of what he observed in the spiritual world over a period of 27 years. Many famous people have been influenced by Swedenborg's works, including
Abraham Lincoln, Helen Keller, Bill and Lois Wilson (founders of AA and Al-Anon), Robert
and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Carl Jung and others. Swedenborg: An Introduction to his life and writings |
"The most remarkable step in the religious history of
recent ages is that made by the genius of Swedenborg. These truths
passing out of his system into general circulation, are now met with
every day, qualifying the views and creeds of all churches, and of men
of no church."
"Swedenborg is one of the missoriums and mastodons of literature, not to be measured by whole colleges of ordinary scholars. . . Swedenborg is systematic and respective of the world in every sentence; a colossal soul who lies vast upon our times."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Philosopher
"I acknowledge my profound indebtedness to Emanuel
Swedenborg for a richer interpretation of the Bible, and a deeper
understanding of Christianity, and a precious sense of the divine
presence in the world."
"Swedenborg's message has given color and reality and unity to my thought of the life to come; it has exalted my ideas of love, truth, and usefulness; it has been my strongest incitement to overcome my limitations".
Helen Keller, Blind, deaf American Author and Lecturer
"Swedenborg was a man of great and indisputable cultivation, strong mathematical intellect, and the most pious, seraphic turn of mind; a man beautiful, lovable and tragical to me. More truths are confessed in Swedenborg's writings than that of any other man. One of the loftiest minds in the realm of mind. One of the spiritual suns that will shine brighter as the years go on".
Thomas Carlyle, Scottish essayist, historian, and moralist
"Emanuel Swedenborg had the sanest and most far-reaching intellect this age has known . . . He grasped with clear and intellectual vision the seminal principles of things".
Henry James, Sr., American Philosopher
"Swedenborg was one of the world's great geniuses. With his rare intellect and deep spiritual insight he has much to contribute to our modern life".
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Author of The Power of Positive Thinking
"People who have had near-death experiences peek through the door of the afterlife, but Swedenborg explored the whole house."
Kenneth Ring, Author and Founder of the International Association for Near Death Studies
"Emanuel Swedenborg: No single individual in the world's history ever encompassed in himself so great a variety of useful knowledge".
Ripley's Believe It or Not
"In a world in which the voice of conscience too often seems still and small there is need of that spiritual leadership of which Swedenborg was a particular example."
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd U.S. President
"Theological revolutionary, traveler of heaven and hell, . . . great king of the mystical realm, seer unique throughout history, . . . clear-minded scientist, . . . all these make Swedenborg".
Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki, Japanese philosopher and Buddhist scholar
