Masterful handling of the materiality of language, thus appearing to be "spiritual"—the naturalist. Disdainful of re-organizing language dialectically like Hoelderlin—the artist. Novalis, only similar to Swedenborg, but fundamentally not Swedenborg, since the authenticity of his "divine experience" is questionable, like every other "spiritual" poets. His imagination strives to imitate the Spiritual. He didn't see Sophie, he made himself feels like see Sophie, by will and reason.

However, the facts about heaven and hell presented by the genuine spiritual agent, Swedenborg, lack an aesthetic dimension, much like the battles of the gods in prehistoric times, which are recorded in mythology as a form of poetry that lacks aesthetic appeal for an atheist-artist. They're all in the realm of the history, heaven and hell changes all the time, in a way. The artistic descriptions required by art are abandoned by every agent that has ever existed, more or less, resulting in a dry and monotonous "non-spiritual" look. It is like waking from a dream, unable to record the same divine world as a whole that was experienced in the dream. Swedenborg's writings fail to meet the standards of poetry but only of truly Spiritual, that is, divine history.

Definitely the first time I came into contact with the genuine object of discussion of religion, and the precise interpretation and reasoning process for the scriptures. The Absolute, Time, etc. articulated in very abstract and intuitive way in his "The Ages of the World" or "Philosophy and Religion" are now supported by abundant historical facts and progressive reasoning in this lecture series. Even want to correspond the exact process of the formation of the ultimately pre-historical world according to his ideas, it is not easy to epitomize and not really exact. But it will definitely give you a relatively clear idea or path. For the highest entity, which is only referred to as "The Absolute" in "Philosophy and Religion" or "God" in the Ages book, more levels of division are given here, and there is even a division of "authenticity", namely Elohim or Jehovah, and the factions corresponding to these two gods, and the real prehistoric history of man and the emergence and evolution of the various peoples related to them.

Moreover, because of the considerable distinction between Christianity and paganism, and the discussion of the reasons for the emergence of the various peoples are intensively being made in this lecture series, users who are interested in Aryan worship, pan-black metal culture and romantic-esoteric thinkers can also find one of the routes to actual thinking about all of this here.

Here we have a path to true poetry. It would be a pity if artists, poets, and musicians hadn't thought about this metaphysical-historical-religious process of this world through book like this.
