Journey into the mind of one of history's most fascinating visionaries with this deep-dive exploration of Emanuel Swedenborg's revolutionary spiritual philosophy. This in Depth episode unpacks the Swedish mystic's profound insights into consciousness, divine humanity, and the hidden connections between the spiritual and natural worlds.
From his concept of Divine Natural Humanity that reconciles the eternal paradox between creator and creature, to his understanding of nature as the "nuptial ring" between infinite and finite consciousness, we'll explore how Swedenborg's 18th-century revelations continue to challenge our understanding of reality, identity, and human purpose.
Discover how this scientist-turned-mystic envisioned creation not as a single divine act, but as an ongoing "formative process" where God immerse himself completely in created form to grant authentic selfhood to his creatures. We'll examine his revolutionary ideas about the role of conscience as the divine presence masked in human nature, and how visualisation and inner imagery serve as gateways to spiritual transformation.
Whether you're curious about mystical Christianity, interested in the philosophical bridges between consciousness and reality, or drawn to explore how ancient wisdom speaks to modern questions about meaning and existence, this podcast offers accessible yet profound discussions of ideas that have influenced thinkers from William Blake to Helen Keller.
Join us as we uncover the secret of Swedenborg, where divine love meets human consciousness in the most unexpected ways.
