Summary/Abstract: Emanuel Swedenborg is a Swedish religious and mystic visioner of 18 century during the time of Karl 12 and rule of Russian tsar Peter the Great. With huge sense of confidence it is important to point out that Individual (authentic)) and original way of thinking of Swedenborg lead him to the field of the philosophical mode in his mystic creations at all. As far as can be seen form the latest and most valuable Swedenborg’s works his authentic mysticism is occupied by logically verified and connected style which is seen through both form and content of his texts. The teaching of this Swedish mistyc christian philosopher is based on his own experience of the spiritul vision and is mainly relating to the Bible tradition. But it has to be pointed out that the Bible tradition is understood by Swedenborg in a bit strange free-form, at least at first sight. It is obvious that thought and vision of Swedenborg was influenced by the late Christian protestantism which is focused on personal mode in the reading of the Bible. Swedish mystic teaches us about the way how our eternal world is built up and the way how we can deserve our eternity whether this is evil or good. It is obvious for Swedenborg as well that our world is dual: it is consisting of material-nature part and of invisible for our material eye – the part which in our mankind tradition is known as spiritul world. Each of these two parts has its own basic properties and differences. But it is more than well to learn that these two worlds have connections. The connections between them are hidden in so called correspondences which Swedenborg describes in his theory of correspondences.
