靈界溝通的「交靈術」

    
The Trigger of Psychic Visions: Emanuel Swedenborg's Near-Death Experiences    by Kevin Williams

         

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and was quite renowned in his day for his contributions in various fields of natural science. His writings were first oriented towards anatomy, physiology, and psychology gained substantial recognition. Later in his life, he experienced a religious crisis and began to write of experiences of being in communication with spiritual entities. His later spiritual writings abound with vivid descriptions of what life after death is like. The parallels between his out-of-body spiritual experiences and NDEs are quite remarkable. So remarkable, in fact, that in Dr. Raymond Moody's ground-breaking book on near-death experiences, Life After Life, has an entire section devoted these parallels. In this article you will learn these parallels and read an excerpt from Swedenborg's most famous work entitled Heaven and Hell which was translated into the book entitled Awaken From Death.

Who Was Emanuel Swedenborg?  by David Sunfellow       

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 – 1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, theologian, revelator, and Christian mystic. He is best known for his book on the afterlife, Heaven and Hell (1758). Swedenborg had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. In 1741, at the age of 53, he entered into a spiritual phase in which he began to experience dreams and visions, beginning on Easter weekend of April 6, 1744. This culminated in a ‘spiritual awakening’, in which he received revelation that he was appointed by the Lord to write a heavenly New Church Doctrine to reform Christianity. According to the New Church Doctrine the Lord had opened Swedenborg’s spiritual eyes, so that from then on he could freely visit heaven and hell, and talk with angels, demons and other spirits.

Music Can Cure Depression, and Stop Suicide    by June Silny

Music helps you work through your problems

Often during your darkest nights, you can’t find a way through the muddy alleyways of your mind. Good news! Don’t just lie there, turn on Google play and let the music flow into you. If you cry, that’s OK. Tears represent feelings that must be expressed. Feeling is healing.

Music helps you express your emotions. It’s melodic encouragement that helps you let go of suppressed feelings. A study published in the British Journal showed that music is cathartic, especially drumming. You didn’t need a medical study to prove that. You discovered that yourself when you were a 4 year-old banging on your mother’s pots and pans.

Music inspires creativity

Do you need to write a blog, run faster on the treadmill, or design a new website but can’t because you’re feeling uninspired? Pump up the jam. Music will motivate you. Go ahead, try to sit still while listening to Avicii sing Wake Me Up, it’s just not possible.

Finnish researchers found that the mind-wandering mode goes into action when your brain processes a song, thus inspiring creativity. These rewards don’t only happen to artists: Techies also benefit from the relaxing effect of music.

 Music might prevent suicide

The sound of music is incredibly powerful. It can even prevent suicide.

IN 1997, DMC aka Darrell McDaniels, of Run DMC, was at the top of the charts. While touring he fell into a negative downward spiral, thinking Is this all there is?

He was serious. At that moment, he made a decision to commit suicide when he got home.

Staring at the walls in a cold hotel room, Sarah McLachlan’s song “Angel” came on the radio. You know it’s power. It makes you cry and want to run out and adopt one of those sad animals in the SPCA commercial.

It’s hard to believe, but that song changed his suicide plan. He became a huge fan of Sarah McLachlan. Soon after, he found out he was adopted, which gave his life new meaning.

 Music jars your memory

Beware: Handle music with care. Some songs put you in a time machine and set you back to painful times. Hopefully, when you get there, you will remember the lessons you learned, see how much you have grown and how much better you are doing since leaving those sad times behind you. Leaving those memories allows you to open your heart to new adventures.

 天才科學家的「交靈術」震驚瑞典女王

文：容乃加

瑞典名門貴族十八世紀的天才科學家伊曼紐‧史威登堡(Emanuel Swedenborg)，他與靈界溝通的「交靈術」震驚瑞典女王。（英文維基百科）

人不只是存在這個時空， 人的肉體死亡也不是生命真正的終點。十八世紀的天才科學家、瑞典大主教的兒子，伊曼紐‧史威登堡〈Emanuel Swedenborg〉向瑞典女王親證實這一點。

史威登堡自小在一個虔誠的基督教家庭長大，他的父親是瑞典首都斯德哥爾摩的史卡拉大教堂主教，直接由瑞典女王任命。他本人是個超級天才，精通二十種不同領域。在史威登堡57歲時，經歷了震撼心靈的體驗，此後開啟他通行靈界的人生27年，他以科學精神探究一般人無法窺知的「靈界」，並且把自己親身所見、所歷的「靈界」詳細記錄下來啟示世人。他曾經公開表示自己「可以跟已過世的歷史人物在靈界自由交談」。

84歲時，他在倫敦去世，留下十餘冊、幾萬頁的特殊遊記「靈界著述」，記錄自由往來於靈界的體驗，原著現珍藏在大英博物館中。

進出靈界尋找答案使瑞典女王信服

當年，瑞典女王不能信服史威登堡「可以跟已過世的歷史人物在靈界自由交談」的說法，於是在一次公開的場合中，要求他進行「交靈術」。

女王問史威登堡：「認識某某將軍嗎？」史威登堡回答：「不認識。」女王說一聲：「那更好。」告訴他「那一位將軍過世後，我接到他（生前）寫給我的一封遺書，至今，我並未公開過，也沒跟任何人提起，你能說出遺書內容嗎？」女王如此命令。史威登堡進入靈界，找到那位將軍，詳問遺書內容後回到人世，所回答的內容完全如過世將軍遺書的記載，令女王驚訝不已。@*責任編輯：林芳宇
