In 1974, Wilson Van Dusen published a groundbreaking study on the findings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a book that has inspired thousands to look more closely into Swedenborg's works and to consider the implications of living a useful and thoughtfully directed life. This updated second edition, published on the thirtieth anniversary of the book's original publication, includes a new introduction to this bestselling work.
An account of the monumental journey of an eighteenth-century scientist and philosopher into the depths of his own mind and to spiritual worlds beyond, The Presence of Other Worlds shows how Swedenborg's personal experiences radiate with insights about psychological and spiritual develpments that are relevant to modern-day seekers. It has been hailed since its first publication as a passport for all spiritual voyagers into the human psyche and the innter sanctum of the afterlife.
Dr. Raymond Moody, author of Life After Life, provides a foreword that explains the importance of Swedenborg's mystical experiences in connection with the near-death experience. Dr. James Lawrence presents a tribute to Wilson Van Dusen and his enduring legacy in an afterword.

Finally Cancelled Unfulfilled Order,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THE PRESENCE OF OTHER WORLDS: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL FINDINGS OF EMANUEL SWEDENBORG (Paperback)
I would not order from this seller or Amazon books second party for their is no assurance you will receive the book in a reasonable amount of time, if at all. Dont waste your time here, but order from a different vender which comes through on orders placed. No such guarantee here. I finally cancelled this order, and regretted my waste of time, and choice of sellers.
