Interesting. I've not heard of Swedenborg or Secrets of Heaven before.

What you quoted reminds me of something that puzzles me and might be the way to understand this:

All of Swedenborg's theological works are available free online. I find his theology to be systematic and his revelations of the afterlife consistent with documented Near Death Experiences.

Swedenborg wrote 35 volumes of theology. A suggested starting point is Heaven and Hell download page. See my profile page for more links.
