Jeremy's sermon today was based on a passage from Spiritual Experiences (aka Spiritual Diary). In discussing it with a friend who's about as steeped in the Writings as anyone on the planet, I learned that the majority of today's G.C. clergy believes that ANYTHING Swedenborg wrote is considered divinely inspired. Including the Spiritual Diary and Earths & the Universe.
Earths & the Universe? Seriously??
Am so outta there. It's time.
There are many beautiful teachings in the Writings which are part & parcel of my faith, but they are increasingly being supplanted by such heresies as believing in reincarnation and it's impossible that the 2nd part of Conjugial Love could even be remotely divinely inspired.
Time to bid farewell to spiritual allies who walk a road I left long whiles ago. Am off to find ones that actually walk the same road I do.
Thank you, Jeremy, for making it so much easier.
