SWEDENBORG’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
circumstance, that I have been called to a holy office by the
Lord Himself, who most mercifully appeared before me, His
servant, in the year 1743 ; when He opened my sight into the
spiritual world, and enabled me to converse with spirits and
angels, in which state I have continued up to the present day.
From that time I began to print and publish the various
arcana that were seen by me or revealed to me, concerning
Heaven and Hell, the state of man after death, the true
worship of God, the spiritual sense of the Word, besides many
other most important matters conducive to salvation and wis
dom. The only reason of my journeys abroad has been the
desire of making myself useful, and of making known the ar
cana that were entrusted to me. Moreover, I have as much
of this world’s wealth as I need, and I neither seek nor wish
for more.
Your letter has induced me to write all these particulars,
in order that as you say “ ill -conceived prejudices may be
removed.” Farewell ; and from my heart I wish you all
blessedness both in this world, and the next; which I have
not the least doubt you will attain, if you look and pray to
our Lord.
EMAN. SWEDENBORG .
