Swedenborg's Theosophy

Swedenborg is tough to read. His vocabulary can be a hurdle. If you want to Know his Theosophy, you need to interpret his weird words correctly. Angels, Heaven etc. have odd meanings. His works inspired the creation of the first Theosophical Society organized in London in about 1785. Below is a Link for his vocabulary (and other stuff).
