Yes, he did, in "Life on Other Earths." It is heavily laden with alchemical symbolism, something the reader should always keep in mind. Nevertheless, I do not consider myself a true Swedenborgian; but rather, a student of his work, which I find fascinating and insightful though not necessarily authoritative. This does not undermine my point that his uncanny predictions and incidents of clairvoyance are documented facts.
Documented facts? Hardly.
