Description
Excerpt from The New Age and Its Messenger
The writings of that most remarkable man of modern ecclesiastical history, Emanuel Swedenborg, have taken a deep hold upon my mind, and affected my whole inner life. He who comes to the perusal of them with an unprej udiced mind, with a sincere desire to learn the truth for the sake of truth - who loves truth for its own divine self - will not fail to find in them principles of great value. He will find there a true spiritual philosophy. He who loves truth for its own sake, and who incorporates it immediately into the life, is in that moral condition which renders the mind of man receptive of enlighten ment from the Lord, the infinite fountain of all light. There are some minds peculiarly fitted to receive truths of a certain class, as those relating to some one of the sciences. But a soul in the moral attitude referred to above, drinks in spontaneously all spiritual truth. He that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (j no. Iii. If any man, says our Saviour, will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. (mat. Vii. 17 Th''xa.
