My ancestors go back to the 17th century prophet Emanuel Swedenborg, so his writings such as his book "Heaven and Hell" have always be in our home.
I have discovered a wonderful author Wilson Van Dusen who has written many good books about the simple philosophies set forth by Swedenborg. A few that I feel, are well worth read would include.
Usefulness...a way of Personal and spiritual Growth(it is small and easy to understand)
Just Beyond the physical world(best selling of all his books)
The Presents of Other worlds
Beauty, wonder and the Mystical Mind.
The design of Existence
The country of Spirit
Many of these books are available used and inexpensive thru Abebooks.com or amazon.
I visited the folk park in Stockholm last year and sat on the porch of Swedenborg's summer home. That was where he sat and looked over his rose garden and spoke to ANGELS...it was a very touching experience. From inside the cottage I could hear him playing the organ and composing music. I left there with the feeling of having this special man in my heart FOREVER.
