The works penned by Emmanuel Swedenborg offer a revolutionary rethink on the nature and application of biblical truths or principles as a guide as to what it means to live a spiritual life. They offer a new form of Christianity, that we call Spiritual Christianity. In support of this, these doctrines for Spiritual Christianity provide profound insights into the person and life of Jesus Christ as depicted in the biblical record which enables a shift in our understanding so that every aspect of His life can be read symbolically. When this is done, the Bible then describes the operation of the Divine Truth, the Logos, within the psychological world of every human mind in the here and now, as opposed to an historical figure operating in the past within a given time and space.
In this course we shall explore some of the key concepts that form the theological basis for Spiritual Christianity. These concepts also underpin the spiritual practice called Logopraxis which, simply means the practice of the Word or Logos. Each subsection of this course contains between 8-12 modules consisting firstly of a short 4-8 minute video and supporting quotes from the doctrines for Spiritual Christianity. The material that then follows is offered as a means of consolidating the central principles which the video and quotes present and include: an overview of the main points, a set of multiple choice and reflective questions, and some meditative and creative exercises.
As we delve into the teachings we will unravel the intricacies of spiritual development embedded in the Word, unveiling the laws that govern our journey towards a more profound connection with the Divine. It is hoped that you will gain insights that illuminate the infinite tapestry of emotions and thoughts which shape our individual and collective human consciousness.
