Synopsis

In 1974, Wilson Van Dusen published a groundbreaking study on the findings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a book that has inspired thousands to look more closely into Swedenborg's works and to consider the implications of living a useful and thoughtfully directed life. This updated second edition, published on the thirtieth anniversary of the book's original publication, includes a new introduction to this bestselling work.

An account of the monumental journey of an eighteenth-century scientist and philosopher into the depths of his own mind and to spiritual worlds beyond, The Presence of Other Worlds shows how Swedenborg's personal experiences radiate with insights about psychological and spiritual develpments that are relevant to modern-day seekers. It has been hailed since its first publication as a passport for all spiritual voyagers into the human psyche and the innter sanctum of the afterlife.

Dr. Raymond Moody, author of Life After Life, provides a foreword that explains the importance of Swedenborg's mystical experiences in connection with the near-death experience. Dr. James Lawrence presents a tribute to Wilson Van Dusen and his enduring legacy in an afterword.

About this title

About the Author:

Wilson Van Dusen, born in 1923, had an ecstatic experience of God while still in a crib, an experience he remembers even today. Other mystical experiences in his youth led him to begin a path to understand such experience and how he could return to it at will. After serving in the military during World War II, he became a Clinical Psychologist. In his later years he studied the mysticism of Emanuel Swedenborg. Van Dusen is also the author of The Natural Depth in Man, The Presence of Other Worlds, and The Country of Spirit.
