Mesmer And Swedenborg - George Bush - Bog

""Mesmer and Swedenborg: Or The Relation of the Developments of Mesmerism to the Doctrines and Disclosures of Swedenborg"" is a book written by George Bush and originally published in 1847. The book explores the relationship between the spiritual teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg and the emerging field of mesmerism, which was gaining popularity in the 19th century. Bush, a noted theologian and biblical scholar, examines the similarities and differences between the two systems of thought, and argues that they are complementary rather than contradictory. He suggests that both Swedenborg and the mesmerists were tapping into a deeper understanding of the workings of the human mind and spirit, and that their insights could be used to advance the cause of human progress and spiritual enlightenment.Throughout the book, Bush provides detailed analysis of the writings of Swedenborg and the key figures in the mesmerist movement, including Franz Mesmer and James Braid. He also draws on his own experiences with mesmerism, which he had explored as a means of treating various physical and mental ailments.Overall, ""Mesmer and Swedenborg"" is a fascinating exploration of two important intellectual movements of the 19th century, and a testament to the enduring power of spiritual inquiry and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
