What happens to us after we die? What is heaven like? How do angels live? Are heaven and hell real? If so, what are they like? In his classic work Heaven and Hell, Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg gives readers a detailed road map to the afterlife, describing the process that our soul goes through after death, the nature of heaven and hell, angels and demons, painting a picture of life in the spiritual realms in meticulous detail. A Swedish Enlightenment scientist of extraordinary accomplishment, Swedenborg underwent a spiritual crisis that led to an unparalleled series of paranormal experiences. He spent his last twenty-seven years in almost daily experience of heaven and hell, recording his observations and conversations, many of which are reported in this book. This sustained and detailed description of the nonphysical realms has left its impression on the minds of many great thinkers, including and as diverse as Goethe, Blake, Coleridge, Helen Keller, Johnny Appleseed, Henry James, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Borges, and Milosz. The continuing appeal of this book undoubtedly lies in his insights into the afterlife, concepts of divine love, and his focus on personal and social development. “Heaven and Hell is a classic, mind-altering canonical text of Western spirituality.” -- Christopher Bamford, author of The Voice of the Eagle: The Heart of Celtic Wisdom
