He describes him as a &quot;great religious reformer and clairvoyant medium,&quot; and explicitly argued that, if Swedenborg were alive in the modern era, he would likely be &quot;a leader&quot; in the psychic movement. <br /> <br /> Both men accepted the idea that the human spirit survives death and that communication between the living and the dead is possible. [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] explicitly uses Swedenborg&#039;s visions and conversations with spirits as evidence that such communication belongs to a real spiritual order rather than mere superstition.<br /> <br /> [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] presents Swedenborg as a foundational forerunner of modern Spiritualism and as &quot;the father of our new knowledge of supernal matters.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> == Related articles ==<br /> <br /> * [[Emanuel Swedenborg as a Proto-Spiritualist]], by Andrea Towle (1996/7, [[A.C.D. - The Journal of The Arthur Conan Doyle Society|ACD Journal]] Vol. 7)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
