Swedenborgian psychology is a rational breakthrough. It is a dualistic approach and therefore quite different from general psychology and materialism. We do not believe that we evolved by random chance in an uncaring universe, but rather that we are purposefully designed for happy, thoughtful, and useful living. We see that our mind has layers of consciousness and psychic depth, and that reality is not limited to physical matter in time and space. We understand that life is not so much about pursuing power or pleasure, but more about pursuing purpose and meaningful co-existence with others. It’s not just natural ideas that are valid and useful in life; instead, it’s a return of higher consciousness within natural ideas that completes us.

Swedenborgian psychology is an active, volitional practice that gradually changes our human form from the inside out. It aims to develop psychological whole mindedness as a stable spiritual or mental state. Whole mindedness is a substantial form that is receptive to higher states of human consciousness.

This form or quality of mind develops and matures as we practice and apply universal truths and spiritual principles in life. We believe that it’s part of our human destiny to live from higher consciousness within our lower levels of rational, moral, and civil conscience.

Swedenborgian psychology has universal application and appeal, regardless of a person’s background or identity because it works with timeless principles and universal truths for humanity.
