Excerpt from Letters on Spiritual Subjects: In Answer to Inquiring Souls In the early part of 1882 there appeared in the New Church Independent, four essays upon the Opening of the Interior Degrees of the Human Spirit, and the Descent of the Lord into Ultimates. They attracted considerable attention, and I have received many letters from earnest and anxious souls, desirous of learning more of the Second Coming of the Lord by interior processes, and of that New Life which his coming will establish in the world. Some of my responses to those letters are here collected, and so arranged as to give an appearance of order and continuity to the subjects discussed. If the reader discovers occasional reiterations of the same ideas, he will understand that it was scarcely avoidable in writing to different persons about the same things. Fortunately the reiterations relate to important truths which cannot be too often repeated or too deeply impressed on the mind. The four Essays which elicited the correspondence, are here published in the form of Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
