OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES AND SPIRITUALISM

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a brilliant scientist, inventor, and scholar, who holds a special place in Spiritualism. Considered one of the three smartest people who ever lived, he began having out-of-body experiences at the age of 55. For the next 27 years, he explored other dimensions. He wrote 18 books explaining that there are many different levels of existence where people live very pleasant and interesting lives, just as real as ours on Earth. This was a huge shock to Protestant Christianity which taught that after death it was either heaven sitting on a cloud or the fires of hell. Swedenborg is said to have appeared to many of the pioneers of Spiritualism and Spiritism, and, together with Benjamin Franklin, was the force behind the coming of Spiritualism in 1848.
