EMANUEL SWEDENBORG -SCIENTIST, MYSTIC, PHILOSOPHER
“Emanuel Swedenborg was a 17th-century (1688-1772) mystic and philosopher who travelled to the astral-spiritual realms and later recorded these experiences. Swedenborg’s extensive literary work remains a testimony in 2026, as identified through the Swedenborg Foundation, a worldwide organisation. These teachings continue to inspire countless students, teachers, spiritual explorers and seekers of Truth to explore Swedenborg’s work using intuitive reasoning. If you are intuitively drawn toward a deeper study of consciousness-spiritually related literature, or are a serious explorer/experiencer, consider studying Swedenborg’s work. This includes the five volumes of “Arcana Caelestia.”

DR PHILIP GROVES and SWEDENBORG TEACHINGS
“Among many who were inspired by Emanuel Swedenborg’s teachings was Dr Philip W Groves, an Australian-based teacher, author, and academic lecturer. Dr Groves has now transited, but held considerable knowledge of naturopathy, Divinity and Psychology, as well as having specialised interests in the fields of Natural Medicine (diploma of Naturopathy), Chemistry, Marine Biology, Egyptology, Comparative Religion and Botany. He taught for over 40 years at universities, natural therapy colleges, and privately with his own groups of people until his passing into the spiritual world in 1999. The foundation of his teaching, whatever the topic, was always to guide people into the abundance of life, creative expression of life’s potentials, as well as developing greater knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live.”
MORE RESOURCE INFORMATION
“These higher goals were explored by the use of practical application and real methodology founded in science, history, botany, Esoteric Christianity, Sufism and the works of Gurdjieff and Emanuel Swedenborg. Dr Groves taught in a relaxed manner, demonstrating at all times his love for the world and the Work; a search for truth, wisdom, love and good, and belief that maintaining these aspects of life must become part of our understanding and fill our everyday life.” Listen to an audio conversation about Dr Groves here: https://swedenborg.com.au/resources/audio/

Reflection:
In 2018, I was fortunate enough to meet, and theatrically-creatively work with, Alwyn & Laurie Lewis in Hobart. Both were former students in Dr Groves’ classes in Sydney, NSW, for over seven years. Alwyn & Laurie have both now transited back to the astral/etheric planes. They gifted me several of Dr Groves notes, along with books on Swedenborg’s works; I’m indebted to their generosity.
