Understanding Spiritual Corners: Lessons from Swedenborg and Scripture. In this episode, we delve into the concept of ‘cutting corners’ and examine the significance of corners both physically and spiritually. Drawing on the teachings of Swedenborg and biblical passages, the discussion explores the idea of ‘ultimates,’ or the most external expressions of something. We consider the role of physical acts in religion as cornerstones of faith and discuss the symbolism of tassels on prayer shawls as protective reminders of divine principles. Through stories like the one from the Book of Numbers and the interactions between David and Saul, we reflect on the conflict between natural desires and spiritual principles, emphasising the importance of allowing spiritual teachings to guide our actions for true protection and alignment with divine will.
