Introduction
Swedenborg proposes five specific laws of divine providence, which describe the operation behind the regeneration (and reformation) of our mind through rationality and freedom.
You can read Swedenborg’s book “Divine Providence” for yourself in full, something I highly recommend you doing. It is quite accessible, yet information dense. There is not a single page you run through without being amazed at the wisdom being shared.
If you want a quick read, you can start with another book, written by Bruce Henderson, called “Why Does God Let It Happen?” This is particularly focuses on the relationship of Divine Providence and the nature of evil that occurs in the world. It is a common question many struggle with; “Why does God let it happen?”.
I know that, regardless of your personal spiritual path, you will find a lot of value in this course and, while the language is very much Christian, please try and look beyond this if you struggle with it and focus on a single Deity looking after its creation with purpose, whether it be called Jahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Brahma, Baiame, Lord or for me Jesus Christ.
Blessings and peace,
