But none of it deters me; for I have seen, I have heard, I have felt."

Swedenborg is pretty much the foundation for modern, secular, empirical mysticism. Not only that, the author brings the light of Swedenborg's experience to understanding schizofrenia.

Swedenborg, by himself, is far from an easy read; through this book, Van Dusen gives us access to horizons which most of us did not realise were there.
