"But rather seek ye the kingdom of God" - Christianity of Swedenborg's Version

Christianity of Swedenborg's version

In 1745 Swedenborg saw the Lord Christ Jesus, which should be trusted.

In 1745, aged 57, Swedenborg was dining in a private room at a tavern in London. By the end of the meal, a darkness fell upon his eyes, and the room shifted character. Suddenly, he saw a person sitting at a corner of the room, telling him: "Do not eat too much!". Swedenborg, scared, hurried home. Later that night, the same man appeared in his dreams. The man told Swedenborg that he was the Lord, that he had appointed Swedenborg to reveal the spiritual meaning of the Bible and that he would guide Swedenborg in what to write. The same night, the spiritual world was opened to Swedenborg. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Swedenborg)

When he saw the man in his dream, he said to Swedenborg that He is the God, the Creator of the world, and Christ.  And, immediately afterwards, he was allowed to see the spirit world.  Following this event, Swedenborg started to write many books on his spiritual experiences till his death in 1772.

So, just before the establishment of the United States and the French Revolution, Swedenborg had met Christ Jesus and wrote thousands and more pages on the spirit world, Heaven, and the hells.

If Swedenborg had been insane, it must have been impossible for him to continue to write the issue of the spirit world and spiritual matters in a logical, consistent, and high-integrity manner for about 30 years.  And, from the contents of his books, it is apparent that Satan did not guide him.

However, Swedenborg wrote that St. Paul and King David were in the hells, which must be the reason for Vatican's negligence of Swedenborg's works.  

But, more significantly, it should be noted that Swedenborg wrote that he had seen some rich men in Heaven, which seems to be opposite the words of Christ Jesus.  Christ Jesus clearly said that the rich should fall into the hells but the poor would be accepted in Heaven.

However, it was before the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Independence of the United States.  Some rich men in the era of Swedenborg should be different from the rich in the world in the later periods or today.  And, Swedenborg himself was an elite rich man, since he was close to the Swedish royal family.

Yet, poor men in Europe in the 18th century must not have had the ability to write thousands pages on his experiences of seeing Heaven and the hells, even if they were allowed to see the spirit world while living in this world.  Christ Jesus must have had no choices but choosing Swedenborg as a reporter of the spirit world.  However, some internal human elements or characteristics of Swedenborg should affected his writings.  We may think about the Gospel writes in the same way, although they must have been under God's guidance.

Anyway, after Swedenborg's experiences and writing books on Heaven, the hells, and spiritual matters in the 18th century, modern times fully started with the establishment of the United States, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, etc.  And after the era of Swedenborg, the Holy Mary appeared in Her apparitions to children and youths in France, Portugal, Spain, the Balkan Peninsula, etc. to deliver warnings on the end of time.          

Swedenborg himself wrote that he saw the last judgment being conducted in the spirit world to clean up the situations there as the forces of the hells had notably invaded into the spirit world and mingled with other entities in the spirit world.  And, this state in the spirit world would be realized in the human world after a few centuries.  And, as it was the late 18th century that the last judgment was made in the spirit world, it can be made in the human world at any moment now in the early 21st century.   

It can be summarized as follows:

Swedenborg's observation of the last judgement in the spirit world in the late 18th century=> Start of the modern times (drastic increase in wealth) => Apparitions of the Holy Mary => WWI/WWII, and other wars and tragedies => Repeated warnings by the Holy Mary => Further expansion of human wealth => Realization of the end of time with great tragedies in the human world in the 21st century   

Put simply, from a standpoint of Christianity of Swedenborg's version, the human world is all the more proceeding to the great tragedy at the end of time (since the late 18th century when Christ Jesus appeared to Swedenborg).  However, any individual who is to die during this process can live, as a soul, in the spirit world according to Swedenborg.  So, we should not be afraid of our death to come in future.

Yet, only poor men can be accepted in Heaven, but rich men fall into the hells, according to Christ Jesus.  We have to become poor before we die in this world prior to the end of time, so that we can be accepted in Heaven.  Otherwise, we will be exterminated with Satan in the hells by the God so as to become nothingness. 

 
In the spirit world, those who fall into the hells should meet a more terrible fate of complete death in the spirit world.  After this death in the spirit world, there will be nothing for them.  Even Satan will be killed there by the God, according to Christ Jesus.

The mankind (that is, offspring of people who live now) should be happy if they can survive the 21st century.

Luke 12, King James Version

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Infinite Energy in the Universe Enables Men to Live for 100 Years and More

Nobuo Shioya (1902-2008) is still well known and respected by some Japanese who are interested in human health and spiritual power as well as golf.

He became an age-shooter in golf three times in his 80s and 90s.  He even tried to be one at the age of 100, but fell down with cerebral infarction to be in a bedridden state for about six years in his last years by death at 105. 

He stopped practicing medical profession as physician in Tokyo in 1986, which he started in 1931 at his age of 29 after graduation of Imperial University of Tokyo and inevitable stepping down from its medical office due to his practice of spiritual healing with his hands.  But as an independent physician in Tokyo, he succeeded so much that he was regarded to be the most reputable physician in Tokyo before WWII. 

In the last year of WWII, Shioya in his 40s was called up for military service as a mere soldier as with other doctors as Imperial Japan was so desperate, but his medical skill saved him from hard situations.  After WWII for some time he was engaged in quest for spiritual matters while working as physician, but he stopped his private spiritualism study and holding a seance in 1955 to be devoted in medical profession.  In 1962, he could establish his own method of promoting health and realizing one's wish.  With this method, he he succeeded so much that he was invited to the imperial house to privately cure the empress Nagako (1903-2000), wife of the Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989). 

However, it was in his 90s after retirement from a physician at his age of 84 that he wrote some books about his unique health management method and moved around on speaking engagements about power of the method.  It is because when he became 90 years old, he thought that he should do something to save people, although he had cured a hundred of thousands or more people as a medical doctor. 

His method is based on emphasis on breathing; a man takes 120 liters of oxygen per day of which two fifth are consumed in the brain.  The brain needs more oxygen than any other organs.  The best nutrition for human cells is oxygen.  So, one has to take enough oxygen by deeply breathing.  What's more, he believed that energy in the universe could be taken into the human body through a full breath.  And, when taking infinite energy from the universe through deep breathing, he recommended us to use it not only for promotion of health but also for making our wish come true.  One has to believe and recite in his mind that his disease has been cured or peace has been achieved on the earth in a perfect form, while drawing a deep breath and exhaling slowly.  

Shioya wrote that he had cured prostatism, cataract, etc. by applying this method.  And Shioya could make almost all of his wishes in life come true through this breathing and while wishing, believing, and reciting realization of his wishes.     

The corona-pandemic has taught us the importance of breathing.  Probably, deep breathing should be more effective to suppress onset of corona-virus symptoms.

Shioya had deep insight for spiritual matters.  When he was running a clinic in 1950s, gold powders fell from the air to the floor of the examination room.  A patient collected them to bring them back to home, but the gold powders disappeared as time lapsed.  Maybe energy in the universe turned into gold powders.

Anyway, we should utilize infinite energy in the university not only for prevention of corona-diseases and promotion of our health but also for peace on the earth.

In addition, this method of taking oxygen as much as possible through deep breathing and slowly exhaling while wishing, believing, and reciting that a disease has been cured in a perfect form is so effective that it is worth receiving a Nobel prize.

Matthew 12, King James Version
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

"Father, save me from this hour" - Spiritual Facts or Material Tricks

 Around Tokyo 

Spiritual Facts or Material Tricks 

Miracles and super-natural phenomena can be taken as they have been simply and mystically caused by some unknown forces or can be explained as they have been artfully or cleverly caused or they have happened by chance as rare cases in the nature or in very small probabilities.   

Miracles caused by Christ Jesus can be explained in both ways.

Every miracle Christ Jesus had caused can be explained as He had exercised His superpower or in other ways. 

For example, Christ Jesus found where a pot with water in and another with good wine in.  He somewhat forced a servant to bring the pot with good wine in to a table instead of the pot with water in.  When a strong tempest moved water to one side of a lake and the depth of water became shallow in the opposite side, Christ Jesus walked the shallow part of the lake.  When thousands of people gathered on a hill to hear Christ Jess, He found that each of them had enough foods but was concealing them under their clothes, so that He had baskets circulated among them.  And, they could easily take out their hidden foods and put them into the baskets, since their love to neighbors were invoked through Jesus' teachings.        

So, you could explain miraculous performances by Uri Geller in both ways, too.  Geller should have true and real super-natural power or he artfully or cleverly exercised his skills as a magician.  The fact that every miraculous performance by Geller can be also made possible through magics or conjuring tricks does not mean that he did it with his skills of magics or tricks. 

Men can fly in the air with an airplane, but it does not mean that men cannot fly in the air with some super-natural power.

What's more, you may think that anything in this world can be bought or realized by money, but you cannot deny that there is something in this world that can be also obtained or realized by power of love or super-natural power.  Put simply, what can be achieved by use of money, material, technology, science, etc. can be also achieved through power of love and prayers or ideas.  

Indeed, Christ Jesus said that even life of men are realized not only by foods but also by words of God:

Matthew 4, King James Version
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Even spoon bending can be achieved by a magic or trick but also by super-natural power or spiritual power given by the God to God's chosen people.

However, I do not think that Uri Geller borne in Israel like Christ Jesus is another Jesus or an antichrist.  But Satan who wants people pursue money should want people to doubt that such performances can be achieved through any means not based on magics, tricks or special artificial skills that can be obtained by money.

Anyway, it must be difficult to explain how the Holly Mary has appeared in her apparitions, if not believing that her apparitions are true spiritual facts.  But, too many people seem to have only insufficient spiritual ability.

John 12, King James Version

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
