Volume 2: Enlightenment, Extracting the Spiritual Sense of the Writings
by Leon James
This book
in three volumes is about regeneration, which is the conscious discipline
of character change based on the scientific principles revealed in the Writings
of Swedenborg. When we read the Writings we begin to understand regeneration
in a medical, psychological, and educational perspective that is unique
and beneficial. Our prior understanding is based on the fundamental principle
of nonduality, which is that all things exist in the materialistic continuum
of the universe or reality. When we begin to see things from the perspective
of the Writings, we can replace every concept of nonduality into a duality.
Every duality is by reference to the natural and the spiritual as two separate
and distinct worlds, tied together by rational laws of correspondence that
have now been revealed by God through the mind of Swedenborg. We can then
begin our regeneration. This requires us to cooperate with the Lord by shunning
our daily mental evils as sins because sins prevent the preparation of our
mind for eternal heavenly life.
Volume 2 is an exposition of the systematic techniques
of correspondences that are available to us for extracting the
spiritual-celestial meaning from the literal rational sentences of the
Writings. These techniques are those demonstrated in the Writings that
Swedenborg applied to the Word of the Old and New Testaments, and are
now applied to the Word of the Writings.
