One of Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg's most controversial works, Life on Other Planets recounts his otherworldly conversations with spirits from the planets in our solar system and the moon.

A human being is in essence a spirit, and associates with spirits at the interior level. Consequently anyone whose interior faculties are opened by the Lord can talk with them, exactly as a man can with another man.

Anyone there, whose desire springs from a love of truth and the purpose it can serve, is permitted to talk with spirits from other worlds, so as to get proof of the multiplicity of worlds. He can thus learn that the human race does not come from only one world, but from countless worlds; and moreover what these peoples' character is and how they live, and what sort of religious worship they practice."
