Episode notes
Swedenborg's Spiritual Vision Extends IFS
- Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual vision parallels IFS but extends further into spiritual realms beyond conventional psychology.
- His concept of multiple heavens and hells reflects diverse human loves and states, guiding deeper integration and healing.
Unattached Burdens Have Autonomy
- Unattached burdens and their hosts both undergo healing processes that benefit each party.
- These burdens have autonomy and can choose whether to follow the light or remain in darkness.
Mind is Porous to Spirits
- Swedenborg taught all our thoughts come from outside, influenced by angels or demons.
- Mind is porous, receiving spiritual influences, requiring discerning choice on what to accept.
