What happens when we die? I resonate with the deep human longing for the existence of a heaven, and the comfort of angels. Some of the most beloved teachings of the New Church are those regarding heaven. In the face of uncertainty and unknowing, Swedenborg paints a beautiful, soothing, and deeply resonating image of a life where each person has a purpose, and life is more than the pursuit of happiness. What are your thoughts and questions about life after death? Which ideas of Swedenborg’s resonate? Which ones do you question? Check out this thought-provoking content on angels, heaven, near-death experiences and more. Join the conversation on facebook. We’d love to hear your story.
