Swedenborg's Quest For Insight
Discover the answers to life’s mysteries. What really happens after we die? How can we overcome our fear of death? What is the language of angels, and the meaning and purpose of life? Learn the wisdom and spiritual revelations from one of the most remarkable visionaries of all time, the 18th century mystic and eminent scientist, Emanuel Swedenborg.

“An engrossing exploration of our immortality through the eyes of a genuine seer….”
— Marianne Williamson, author, Enchanted Love and The Healing of America

Emmy Award-winning producer Penny Price portrays the fascinating life and thought of the Swedish Enlightenment scientist and spiritual visionary Emanuel Swedenborg, whom Zen scholar D.T. Suzuki revered as the “great king of the mystical realm.” Interweaving breathtaking nature photography, expert interviews, computer animation, and rare, archival stills with dramatic re-enactment featuring acclaimed actor Lillian Gish and contemporary documentary footage, this program conveys the essential and ever-relevant insights brought back by Swedenborg from his unprecedented explorations of the spiritual worlds.

Swedenborg documented the death experience as the soul departs its expired material form, awakens into the afterlife realm, and is stripped of every accretion of personality to gravitate to the level of the upper or nether regions that corresponds perfectly to its innermost nature.
