Emanuel Swedenborg (Pursuits in Higher Spiritualism) Part II

Hello from Tucson Arizona, USA


This weeks blog is about the great swedish mystic seer who some say
is the" Father of Our Knowledge on Supernatural Matters."  We are
remembering how Emanuel Swedenborg received his awakening to
this supernatural knowledge. Which started on Easter Weekend of April
6th, 1744.


The Strange Visitation

The spiritual awakening in April of 1744 (some write it was 1745).
Swedenborg was dining in a private room at a tavern in London.
When the meal was over, darkness filled his eyes and the room appeared
to alter. Suddenly he saw a figure in the corner of the room who said:
"Do not eat too much!"  Swedenborg hurried home scared. Later that
night that same man appeared again in his dreams. That man told
Swedenborg he was the Lord, that he had appointed Swedenborg to
reveal the Spiritual meaning of the bible, that he would guide
Swedenborg in what to write.  We are told that same night the spiritual
world was opened to Swedenborg.

To you my readers: If I ever get the opportunity to ask
Emanuel Swedenborg about the real story of that night in the
London Tavern, I shall report back to you what he says from the
Spirit World.

Like, I did with St. Paul responding to my question:

Rev. Betty Tatalajski of the Temple of Universality Tucson, AZ USA
speaks that we who are spiritualists walk upon the works of the ones who
came before us.  "We stand on their shoulders, and we are encouraged to
build and expand asking spirit to give us the instruction and guidance to do so."

Heaven & Hell
Emanuel Swedenborg's  most famous book "Heaven & Hell".  This
book talks about the life in the Spirit world, Swedenborg speaks with
Angels and spirits and also demons.  It speaks about that the spirit world
how it is much like this physical world that we dwell in.
We are clothed with a spirit body instead of a physical one.  The spirits
there sleep, eat, talk, read books and celebrate the same as we do here.
Swedenborg tells about the journey or transition of the time of death of
the physical.  When the human spirit leaves the body and is prepared to
enter either Heaven or Hell.

Fascinating read, if your interest is finding out about the next life.

I tried to read the original translation:

I found that Simon Parke's translation is clearer and more understandable:

There is the Swedenborg foundation for all things that are Swedenborg:

I live for the day when communicating with the spirit world
is as easy a phone call away.
Where mankind is able to be advised by a spiritual advisors, not the
ones in the physical bodies but the ones in the spiritual bodies.
Where they speak and teach us how to deal with situations using practical
methods.  I think that is when humanity will truly understand God,  they
can ask their own questions and get a direct response. Not someones
interpretation, but from the persons themselves with the better view.
 "It can & will happen."

Harry Houdini "The Spiritualist"

Hello From Tucson Arizona, USA.


Todays, blog is about "Harry Houdini the Spiritualist," and his
message from the Spirit World.  Houdini explains that psychic
phenomena is real, he regrets his mistakes of the past.  He is certainly
looking to speak the truth of Spiritualism, and correct any untrue
statements that he has made in the past.  In order to set the record
straight.


"In this world in the present time and of the time past, people
who claimed to be mediums where doing this for many different
reasons.. Some of the many were for personal gain and recognition.
Then also, as I realize some were just not of the high caliber of accuracy
or they may gotten a nibble here or there.  Just enough to give people
hope.  Some where just masquerading to make a quick buck at the
expense of others. I have exposed many who were frauds, I wrote a
book "A Magician Among the Spirits."   The fact is that I was so focused
on uncovering fraud that I went overboard and did not reveal the actual
phenomena."

Arthur Conan Doyle & Harry Houdini

In an excerpt from the paper: "The Gateway of Understanding" by
Dr. Carl Wickland author of "Thirty years Among the Dead"

Dr. Carl & Mrs. Wickland

During a private seance at the home of Dr. & Mrs. Carl Wickland,
Harry Houdini came through Mrs. Wickland a medium.  He expressed
great regret at the stand he had taken while on earth against the truth
of spirit return and communication, and declared he is trying to do all
in his power to right the wrong, speaking as follows:

"It seems cruel that a man in my position should have thrown dust in the
eyes of people that I did."

Since my passing I have gone to many, many mediums but the door is closed
to me.  When I was on earth I closed the door with double locks by ridiculing
psychic phenomena and mediums. I have been able to open the  door once or
twice, but only for a little while.  While I try to tell people the real truth, they
say I am not the one I claim to be, because when I was on earth I did not talk
that way."

" I ask you to give me good thoughts, strength and power to undo my mistakes.
I can not progress until I have acknowledged the truth. I must, I must do it."

Harry Houdini through the mediumship of Mrs. Carl Wickland published in
1934

The premise of this weeks blog, is to reveal events of humanities past and to
help both our world and the spirit world at this time.  By bringing the Spiritualist
part of Harry Houdini to the light of day, we who are his admirers, fans or
just enthusiasts can help Harry Houdini progress further in the spirit world. By
sending him good thoughts, that he may correct his mistakes from that side
and giving Harry Houdini access to many fine mediums of this present and
future age, so that he may present his claims to humanity.

however improbable, must be the truth."
