Swedish scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) described regeneration, or spiritual growth and rebirth, as a lifelong process of transforming our inner selves through acts of love and kindness. This book brings together excerpts from his theological writings that illustrate how--and why--this earth-based, love-focused process works.

New Thought is a diverse movement whose practitioners have only one thing in common: a belief in the power of the mind to bring health, wealth, and fulfillment. In this comprehensive history of New Thought, John Haller traces its roots from the earliest influences to the mind-cure speculations of the late nineteenth century, and shows how its initial emphasis on healing disease morphed into a vision of the mind's ability to bring us whatever we desire. Authors like Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, and, more recently, Rhonda Byrne are eagerly read and embraced by millions of people who remain unaware that these writers are merely repeating ideas introduced decades before. The History of New Thought demonstrates the broad and lasting impact that this movement has had on American culture.

Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) devoted his life to exploring the mysteries of the soul. Scattered throughout his theological works is a description of a complex system of interaction between our "natural" minds (our everyday thoughts and feelings) and our spiritual minds, which are in touch with the divine. This book takes those scattered descriptions and weaves them into a coherent system that is invaluable for understanding Swedenborg's thought -- and our own.
