As for me, it seems my Spirit has for most of my life been yearning for something but could not put my fingers on it. Now, I see 'things' coming together. When I get thru discussing Swedenborg, I hope others can 'see' what I 'see'.
All I wish is that I had access to such information when I was growing up. It just was not available. I tried my best to find 'it' but to no avail. When I was in 6th grade, they would test us for reading speed. Sometimes, we were tested almost every day. My speed was always the same, about 2500 words per minute. When I got to high school, I would not study but go to the library, read the newspapers, the new magazines and then a book. Back then, I could read a science fiction novel (generally 300 pages) in about 1/2 hour. As much as I read, I could not get my hands on the stuff that 'helps' to put things together.
After high school, I could see 'patterns' but could not put my 'fingers' on how they all relate. Then I started studying history and noticed various 'patterns' and began seeing how 'things' relate. SpiritualForums has helped, especially all of the Forums.
