Swedenborg & Holographic Healing

Let's continue with our series on Swedenborg's impact on the world today with a view of healing.

William Blake was inspired by Swedenborg when he wrote this:

To see the world in a grain of Sand

The universe in a Wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the Palm of your Hand

And eternity in an Hour

 

Rev. Dr. George Dole, renowned Swedenborgian scholar, says that that verse reflects this statement from Swedenborg:

The Divine is the same in the greatest and the smallest things. [DLW 77]

Dole has found that his study of Swedenborg has led him to explore a concept from the "new physics":  the hologram.  He has read works of quantum physicists such as Karl Pribram and David Bohm. They said that the new physics showed the universe to be a hologram. Dole wrote:

 

The result of all this is that I am coming to see Swedenborg's theology different than I did before. I am coming to see it composed of a central holographic concept ...

[Sorting Things Out, 77]
