Christian theosophy and visionary mysticism
Swedenborg's most famous and influential work, providing a detailed, first-hand account of the afterlife based on his reported visions. He describes the structure of heaven and hell, the lives of angels and spirits, and the 'Law of Correspondences' that links the spiritual and natural worlds. He argues that one's state in the afterlife is a direct continuation of one's internal character and love, rather than the result of a sudden judicial sentence.
