Spiritual Law

Book excerpt: Spiritual Law offers a clear and concise handbook for spiritual transformation. Drawing from eighteenth-century scientist and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg's work, Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Providence, this book brings Swedenborg's esoteric insights about the spiritual world to life in engaging and accessible prose. In Spiritual Law, we learn how spiritual laws provide order to the spiritual world, just as the laws of nature govern the physical world. Based on this information, we discover that we are surrounded and guided at all times by love and wisdom from our Creator and that our choices lead us to either a heavenly or hellish existence. Never before has this information been available in such an accessible form for today's spiritual seekers. The book not only offers a distillation of Swedenborg's original work, but lends guidance on how to put these ideas into practice. Learning how these laws operate empowers us to become more peaceful, wise, and loving in this world and the next.
