I am an author and publisher. My recent works include The Symbolism of the Psalms (3 volumes) and The Secret Code of the Psalms. My primary interest is in Emanuel Swedenborg and The New Church. In the 18th century Swedenborg described the Near Death Experience long before it was rediscovered by the medical community in the 20th century. Swedenborg has influenced a number of notable people, including Carl Jung, Helen Keller, William Butler Yeats and Ralph Waldo Emerson, among others. The New Church is a new revelation for Christianity which declares that there is one God in one person, Jesus Christ, and that eternal life is based on repentance and living by the 10 commandments. It is based on revelations received by Swedenborg in a series of waking visions that lasted 27 years. In 2012 I published e-books of the works of Emanuel Swedenborg. The entire collection of Swedenborg's works can be found in the work entitled The Divine Revelation of the New Jerusalem: Expanded Edition. The advantage of this particular work is that all of his writings are easily searchable, and his numerous references between his different works are hyperlinked. Swedenborg's works have also been published individually under the following titles: Heavenly Arcana, The Final Judgment, Heaven and Hell, Angelic Wisdom of the One God, Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, True Christian Religion, Angelic Wisdom concerning Marriage Love, Apocalypse Revealed, Apocalypse Explained and Apocalypse Revealed and Explained.
