Secrets of Heaven: Portable New Century Edition vol. 9 by Emanuel Swedenborg offers readers an invitation to uncover the hidden spiritual messages embedded within the final chapters of the Book of Genesis. As Swedenborg explains Genesis 45-50, he illuminates the inner meanings behind the reunion of Joseph and his family, the deaths of Jacob and Joseph, and how these events symbolize the path of glorification of Jesus and, by extension, the spiritual journey that each individual undertakes. Each Secrets of Heaven volume can be read in sequence, or as a stand-alone book. In this volume, Swedenborg returns to themes central to understanding the spiritual world's influence on humanity--how divine forces shape the human will and intellect, and how they operate within the soul and the outer and inner selves. His insights provide a window into the complex relationships between the spiritual and natural worlds, helping readers make sense of life's greater purpose and the divine wisdom
