There are strong, clear teachings in the Judeo-Christian scriptures that we are to welcome, feed, and clothe the stranger, those who are different from us, those who might practice a different religion or come from a different culture.
Next time you read Swedenborg, think of these words as being written by the hands of a gardener; fingers that also knew how to weed and prune, and tend to the long time of gestation and growing.
“Now is a time for us to stand together, to take courage from one another and learn together how we are to be brave now and to hold on to the things that are good about us and about our country.”
Similar to Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, Swedenborg wrote how in the spiritual world, there is no linear chronological time, but only changes of affective state.
