Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) spent the last twenty-seven years of his life in almost constant communication angels and devils in the spiritual realms. In his most popular work, he describes the nature of heaven and hell, his conversations with the inhabitants of those realms, and the ways that each of us find ourselves in either bliss or torment based on the decisions we make in our lives.
