An Hieroglyphic Key to Natural and Spiritual Mysteries by Way of Representations and Correspondences

Emmanuel Swedenborg Led One Of The Most Remarkable Careers In The History Of Science And Philosophy. He Mastered Natural Science And Mathematics In His Youth, Writing Some 150 Works On Scientific Subjects. He Rigorously Sought A Comprehensive Physical Explanation Of The World Based On Mathematical And Mechanical Principles. Gradually His Enquiries Turned Toward Philosophical Matters And After A Profound Mystical Experience In 1745 He Devoted His Reasoning Almost Entirely To The Interpretation Of Religion. In These Later Treatises, Swedenborg Gives Vivid Descriptions Of His Experiences In The Spiritual Worlds Beyond Space And Time Which He Was Able To Enter By Consciously Suspending Bodily Sensations. Despite Its Bizarre Aspects, His Theosophical System Is Characterized By Logic And Is Obviously Rooted In His Previous Concern With The Sciences. Swedenborg Attempted To Explain Reality In Terms Of Psychic Energy, In Which Matter, Intellect, And Spirit Emanate From The World Soul.
