I have always been familiar
with the subject of spiritual healing, since my paternal grandparents
—Annetta and
Julius Dresser—had been students of the famous Phineas Quimby, and themselves were
very successful in doing healing work. My training in various types of hospitals
brought extensive knowledge of human disorders; but it was specialization in psychiatry
which taught me how inseparable the life of man's spirit is from the life of his
body. Some years later, through experiences of my own. I began to learn how immediately
possible the use of spiritual healing is—and how definitely it is connected with
spiritual states. From then on, I have been interested in correlating some of Swedenborg's
teachings with what is known about spiritual therapy, and am convinced that in such
applications we can make the Truths of the Second Coming meaningful to awaiting
world. Gwynne Dresser Mack. Daughter of the

In
1973, Gwynne Dresser Mack gave talks (plural) on "ES and ESP" (Emanuel Swedenborg and Extra Sensory
Perception) that
proved so popular that the Mass New Church Union decided to publish them as a
book the following year. https://fryeburg.org/gwynnedressermack
Gwynne Dresser Mack (1907-1994) in her book ‘ES and ESP,’ adds the following phrase to her definition of telepathy
“without physical means,” implying that people can communicate via non-physical
(or spiritual) means. This is still very difficult for some people to accept
because human beings are seen as physical creatures, rather than spiritual
entities inhabiting their bodies.
…
Mack states that children are much more telepathic than adults because they
have not yet been effectively conditioned to focus only on the physical world.
…From Telepathy: Is it
all in your head?
