The public do not realize that evidence is being withheld and censored, and has become the domain of military intelligence, not "pure" science. We should consider the phenomenon of UFOs, that there are advanced races visiting us. On this matter, the blog post <a href="http://dream-prophecy.blogspot.com/2015/11/swedenborg-and-scientific-evidence-of.html" rel="nofollow">Swedenborg and Scientific Evidence of Extraterrestrial Venusians</a> offers some rather conclusive evidence that is hard to explain away.<br /><br />As for Jakob Lorber, that is something I hope to eventually study. His writings are very similar to those of Swedenborg. Sadhu Sundar Singh is interesting as he claimed to have a vision encountering Swedenborg, but this is censored from Christian biographies of him.<br /><br />Truth is indeed universal, with many different rays of light.Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-60235386404911909142015-11-04T03:09:54.875-05:002015-11-04T03:09:54.875-05:00Why understanding Swedenborg not as he wanted to b...Why understanding Swedenborg not as he wanted to be understood? <br />Why not understanding him on the Ground of the Bible - as he understood and deffined everything he experienced?<br />Why not understanding Swedenborg in the Light of Jakob Lorber?

One ...This post has been receiving a lot of views. One other comment I received is that we should consider Theory #6: that these extraterrestrial spirits are from the "astral plane" - that is, are only spiritual entities. This is similar to theory #2. However I did not mention this as Swedenborg was shown that all spiritual entities have had a prior physical existence. For this I will quote a passage on the origin of angels, that they are all from the human race - and by human we can include here those who have had a human existence on our world and those who have had a human existence "off world":<br /><br />"In the Christian world it is quite unknown that heaven and hell are from the human race, for it is believed that angels were created from the beginning and of them was formed heaven; and that the devil or satan was an angel of light, but because he became rebellious he was cast down with his crew, and of them was formed hell. Angels wonder exceedingly that there should be such a belief in the Christian world, and still more that nothing at all should be known about heaven, when yet that is the primary thing of doctrine in the Church; and because such ignorance prevails, they rejoice in heart that it has pleased the Lord now to reveal to mankind many things respecting heaven, and also hell, and thereby as far as possible to dispel the darkness which is daily increasing, because the Church has come to its end. They wish for this reason that I should declare from their mouth, that in the whole heaven there is not one angel who was so created from the beginning, nor in hell any devil who was created an angel of light and cast down; but that all, both in heaven and in hell, are from the human race; in heaven those who lived in the world in heavenly love and faith, in hell those who lived in infernal love and faith; and that hell taken as a whole is what is called the devil and satan. The hell which is behind, where are those called evil genii, is called the devil, and the hell which is in front, where are those called evil spirits, is called satan.[a] What the one hell is and what the other, will be told in the following pages. They said that the Christian world had gathered such a belief regarding those in heaven and those in hell, from some passages in the Word, understood only according to the sense of the letter, and not illustrated and explained by genuine doctrine from the Word; when yet the sense of the letter of the Word, unless genuine doctrine throws light upon it, draws the mind in various directions, begetting ignorance, heresies, and errors." (Heaven and Hell, n. 311)<br /><br />Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-35800838832497479812015-08-03T09:05:42.442-04:002015-08-03T09:05:42.442-04:00Thanks Sherri.

Unfortunately all English versions have numerous mistranslations of the Hebrew, and in some cases the Septuagint has the better reading (see <a href="http://dream-prophecy.blogspot.com.tr/2013/11/is-masoretic-text-of-bible-most-reliable.html" rel="nofollow">Is the Masoretic Text of the Bible the Most Reliable?</a>). I have translated the Psalms documenting the mistranslations, restored its Hebrew poetic structure, and I am including commentary from Swedenborg on each of the Psalms. Its turned into a bigger project than what I expected (it all started from that missing line found in the Septuagint for Ps. 145:13).Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-12896034294215739322015-07-30T15:24:06.554-04:002015-07-30T15:24:06.554-04:00Thank you for your reply...please excuse me for as...Thank you for your reply...please excuse me for asking but I would love to know specifically what other projects you have been focusing on ?
