Emanuel Swedenborg was a Scientist, Inventor, and Mystic in the 18th- century. He understood the world of spirit was just as real, as the world of matter.
The movie focuses on the 19th- century Hudson River Painter George Inness. He was influenced by Emanuel Swedenborg's theology. In Inness's words, I attempted through my art to demonstrate "the reality of the unseen and to connect the visible upon the invisible."

| The Valley of the Shadow of Death by George Inness |
Catherine (Amanda Seyfried) and George Clare (James Norton) leave New York City and head north to the country. George Clare (Synonymous with the Psychic Spiritual Clairs) just landed a teaching job at a small college in rural upstate New York.
The area is known for embracing the wisdom of Swedenborg. But George doesn't believe in that stuff. He says, his wife does. As the story goes on, George takes actions, which will create a tremendous amount of karma for his soul.

| Expulsion from the Garden of Eden by Thomas Cole |
Karma first appeared in the Rig Veda, Hinduism's first holy scriptures. It says, after lifetimes we forgot who we are and from that forgetfulness, we have only focused on the limited I (the Ego).
The Vedas describe Karma similar to the fall of Adam and Eve in the
west. We were once in a state of oneness, but after lifetimes we became
unconscious of our soul.

| Contrary to Popular Belief Karma is not Revenge |
Karma is not just an eastern concept. In Judaism’s Kabbalah Tikune is Hebrew and means fixing, The function of Tikune is to fix the soul, to correct and set it right.
Rabbi Berg declares in his book, Wheels of a Soul, the restrictions placed on us in the present lifetime are in fact, a direct result of mistakes and errors we have made in the past. The past meaning-past lifetimes. To fix and set our Tikune (karma) right, is to bring unity and balance for ourselves and the universe.
In order to settle our debt with Karma, we must understand reincarnation and the world of spirit, and not brush off the world of the soul, as that stuff!
Karma is a link between the present and the past, and is an activity that is either moving us away or towards oneness -meaning any thought, unconscious thought, or
action that we take or react to, that keeps us away from aligning with our soul. In
order to transform our Karma, awareness of the soul is a must. We have to be aware of what we are aligning
with, in order for oneness to occur.
Are you ready to embrace the world of spirit, and not brush it off, as that stuff?
