As long as there have been groups of people, there have been divisions between them personal, ideological, racial, religious, ethnic, and more. The ideological divisions in society, particularly those in American society, have been the subject of a lot of discussion in recent years, and at times the divide between the various camps seems insurmountable.

This short work contains a series of passages on division and conflict from the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. Each passage is accompanied by a summary of key points and questions to discuss or ponder privately, giving readers the opportunity to dig deeper into a unique system of spiritual introspection and growth.
