Article Excerpt:
Stephen tries to ascertain whether or not all of Swedenborg's work could be pulled under the umbrella of one clear theme. He puzzles over the fact that many people who read Swedenborg's work attack people who claim to interact with the other world, when the man whose doctrines they adhere to did the very same thing. -Editor
Swedenborg and the Search for the Soul
“The Search for the Soul” is a nice theme for Swedenborg’s life. It may not be the most accurate wording, since “soul” can have so many meanings. Swedenborg looked for the soul in nature, in the human body, in the brain. Then he looked in the Bible, in poetry, in symbols. He was not satisfied with this, however.
Then something happened that can only be described partially. I don’t think Swedenborg understood what was happening. His diaries and dream journals show great confusion and searching.
