Spiritual Practice

• Regeneration, Spiritual Growth Regeneration is the word Swedenborg uses to describe our growth as spiritual beings – a process of being created anew as spiritual people bound for heaven. He describes regeneration as a three-step process, one that begins with self-reflection, turning towards a better inner life, deepening our understanding, and finally focusing on the regeneration of our will and affections.
• Usefulness: A Way of Personal and Spiritual Growth. The simplest and most powerful method for personal spiritual development in Swedenborg’s theology lies in the idea of usefulness, or “uses” as he called it. This booklet by psychologist Wilson Van Dusen explores Swedenborg’s concept of use, or useful activity, from a practical perspective. He says ‘Part of its beauty is its simplicity, which permits carrying it out in the midst of ordinary duties and labour, indeed, in any human act. It can be applied anywhere, anytime, by anyone. Part of its power lies in its wonderful concreteness.’

• A light burden. A key part of connecting with the Divine, to be born from Above, is to refrain from identifying with negativities, and in religious terminology, this is expressed as shunning sins. We can’t get to heaven without going through temptations, trials, combats, struggles, pain and grief.
  This booklet is well thought out, providing practical ways to implement a vital teaching that will speed up spiritual growth. Swedenborg says that the way to heaven is not as difficult as people often suppose. God is there helping you.
