Seven months after my husband's transition he came to sit by me while I was resting on my couch. He sat gently and with great compassion, crossed his hands on his knees and asked me "Now, do you know what I was teaching you?" I said 'Yes, darling." and cried for days and nights.
Do you want to see two angels? Well here they are! These two are precious souls who are speaking to our hearts and minds! And the music was just incredible--what a live performance!!! Thank you to the angels behind the scenes, too!
Sing it, Fiona! :). And again, so kind of you to donate -- thank you! The song at the end of this episode is an all-time favorite. Blessings to you in your new awakening!
I am so glad that UA-cam suggested this one as something I would like - how special it is!! As another commenter said, “You guys rock!” And in so many ways. I am so enjoying learning about Swedenborg because of you all. Thank you! ❤️❤️
Babbajune, I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks, UA-cam's Algorithm! Sometimes I'm glad the internet tracks me because I really do get to see things I love! And when it sends you good spiritual food, that's not so bad, right? Thanks for your kind words, we're so glad we can be of use to you!
Is there any experience in life that will bring one to their knees like the heart breaking humility felt in the arms of Divine Grace.....having been there all along during a life of unawareness and ego centric thinking and life choices. Tears of gratitude are shed beyond our control...
loved this insight.. I want all of his books .. and maybe a cd of this song.. thanks from my heart.. My day is not right until I come here to listen about Swedenborg. .
Boy the falling apart is so right , its like your losing your mind especially for those of us that do a 360 in our beliefs, it's a mind blower!! Love that song!!
"Act proceeds, willing folllows!" That is very encouraging. I sometimes I feel artificial or phony for trying to react to something against me in a charitable way. But once in a while it does feel genuine. The "as of self" at work! What a gift! t's owesome! I try doing that especially with my teenager. He is certainly a source of opportunity!
I hear you about those opportunities, Claudia! The as of self can be an important tool, as well as mediate goods, and "simulations." Blessings to you on the journey!
🤣 He's tearin up that teeny piano!😂 Crackin up! Seriously, thank you for making such a great video. I struggle with the validity of "ascension symptoms." Learning Swedenborg's experience has much put this to ease. I'm looking fwd to (finally) starting my journey with his work. Please make more videos together. You're just having a good ol' time nerding out together. It's fun to watch...AND so informative and helpful.
What a kind message, Samantha! We are super appreciate of viewers like you who are genuinely growing with us. Thanks so much for your support. It means everything!
I saw a lady come into my bedroom . I wasn't afraid. Seemed she was there to care for me. I saw her more than once. My friend didn't see her but he believed that I saw her.
Man that was taken straight from that thing that circulated on Facebook/tumblr 😝😝😝😝 It’s true though. Everything is actually spiritual and our material world is like some sort of overlay. Like when you’re playing a video game on PC and you download a texture pack or graphic mod and apply it. We’re playing a spiritual game and we have a human mortal in a material world graphic mod haha 😅
Re thoughts, not all of our thoughts are our own. We can pick up directed thoughts from entities that are around us. These are arrows of the enemy. A great strategy here is to realize that they are not OUR thoughts, and ignore them. Never ever give in. (Resist the devil and he will flee.) It took me a long time to realize this. So if you are feeling normal, and then suddenly start having suicidal thoughts, lustful thoughts, angry thoughts, etc, consider that they are not your own. And don't be afraid of this. It is just the way things are, and being awake to it helps you to fight.
Yes, Michelle! You are blessed to have figured this out on your own! That is a huge part of our message here on this channel. In Swedenborg's terminology, it is hell, or evil spirits, that want to take advantage of us and wreak havoc in our lives. Closing the door to them by just stopping those thoughts and turning toward God or goodness instead is a powerful tool. Here's a playlist of some of our shows along those lines. Head Bullies, part 1-- ua-cam.com/video/mi3qoyDAw_o/v-deo.html Head Bullies, part 2-- ua-cam.com/video/Lb91THEIpRA/v-deo.html Don't Let Hell Push You Around -- ua-cam.com/video/X7DA901yTLk/v-deo.html How To Deal With Evil Spirits ua-cam.com/video/RmWrAoML2hE/v-deo.html The Angels and Evil Spirits With Us -- ua-cam.com/video/gDnEyJeTjag/v-deo.html How to Detect Evil Spirits -- ua-cam.com/video/y1_bbRtDVoM/v-deo.html How Evil Spirits Attack Us -- ua-cam.com/video/NOYKVx1BFnI/v-deo.html How to Make Evil Spirits Retreat and Good Ones Move Closer -- ua-cam.com/video/flN-cFYfs9Y/v-deo.html The Lies Evil Spirits Tell Us ua-cam.com/video/Qaqd9Fhsxpg/v-deo.html I love how you urge people not to b afraid of this fact that these thoughts in our head do not come from us -- it's just the way it is, and awareness can help! Yes! Wishing you every blessing in your ongoing journey.
Ugh!!! I've been in the process of waking up for so long not realizing what was happening to me so all I did was fight and reject it. Obviously timing is a big issue and I was not ready but perhaps watching this video is the green light that maybe I should just roll with it. Thank God for you guys. You guys are living angels!
My husband drowned near a creek at our cabin. We buried him nearby. After the entire burial service I was getting on a small plane to go back to the town we lived. As I got on the plane I looked back at the cabin, I saw him. I don't know if it was a vision or a strong wish. But he was dressed unusual for him. I didn't expect that. He was barefoot with just jeans and a white t-shirt. He was saying I had to go back to town and his expression was compassionate, sad but firm. It was overwhelming.
Susan, that is a profound image. I pray that you can feel his love for you, and know with surety that he is well. Thank you for sharing that precious story.
Man. This reminded me of something that I not entirely dreamed not to long ago. I felt there was someone who was very upset with me and they stood around me and started beating on me. I kept praying: "Don't reckon this to them, my Lord. Don't reckon it. Don't reckon it. Hell is where the heart is. Heaven is where the heart is. Where your treasure is, there is your heart.
this was my first live show and wow very busy had fun trying to watch chat and listen to all you said. I listened and I thank you for answering my question.
double thoughts, I’ve had that happen several times. It happens unexpectedly where my thoughts are making me pray, uncontrollably. I can try to stop praying but I can’t. I then get a call that my son was in an accident or my grandma fell and was severely hurt. Its unexplainable but very lovely. It’s heavenly love I feel. I’ve experienced evil which was a very beautiful flight attendant on a flight , I started praying uncontrollably, loudly! Then as the attendant walked by I saw it’s PURE evil. Almost snarling at me while I was uncontrollably praying.
You two are so awesome!!! I loved the show so much. Thank you for all you do to bring Swedenborg’s books to life for everyone, it really helps so many people like myself . Oh and loved the song at the end you two are so adorable ♥️♥️🙏
This really is a fun episode, isn't it, Jennifer? Those guys make a dynamic duo that is just delightful! I'm so glad to know that our channel is making a difference for you in helping to absorb Swedenborgian thought. It's hard to do without some help! Blessings to you! I think I'll re-listen to that song right now! :)
Marilyn, I'm so sorry your son passed away. But so glad you found us and that the message we share here has brought you comfort! I'm sure your son is happy in heaven, wishing the same for you! I don't know how old your son was, but have you seen "Children in Heaven" ua-cam.com/video/dVJDMaXaafk/v-deo.html ? or this episode, "Will Life Be Different When You Die?" ua-cam.com/video/u67AUEiaFE0/v-deo.html Sending love to you, and thank you so much for your kind words.
Thank you, Curtis and Jonathan!! The show itself was informative, but I did not feel it until the duet. It just goes to show that the process of waking up can be a fun thing. Important!!! Joy and laughter can be very spiritual. My take away this week comes from the questions. Action is followed by willing. Jen's question and your answer really addressed a current issue in my life. So helpful. Just do what is right; eventually the feelings will follow. (or not?) I find they do most of the time and then the actions feel genuine, from the heart. Thank you everyone!!
What important insights to have, Mary! I certainly agree that joy and laughter can be spiritual. It's great to hear how the answer to Jen's question resonated with you. Blessings!
Does a visit from your recently deceased kitty count? He was on my bed, then jumped to a 'tree' super-imposed on my wall, opposite my bed. He jumped from my bed to the base of the 'tree' - then leisurely walked up the tree, all the while looking at me, reassuring me that he was fine (he had been killed by a coyote, and I was inconsolable with grief). He walked along the tree limb (a windswept tree - the kind you see on the African plains that are growing at an angle, from strong winds - and right out the window and into the 'heavens' from the tip of the 'tree'. The message I received from him was, "I am still alive, I am fine, please do not be sad, I am going home now. Then poof- he was gone, and the tree melted away. This was not a dream; not a halucination - more REAL than normal reality. I felt peaceful and reassured that he was unharmed and was returning to his original home.
God Bless you Barbara I still find myself grieving over my lost Cockatiel Bandit(AKA 'Bandido'). He(she?) had such a crazy personality and would do the funniest things like attempt to cut in on conversations my wife and I were having or bob his head up and down as I washed dishes while perched on my shoulder as though to help me with his efforts.
My cat of 19 years would visit me frequently. I would feel the pressure of her footsteps on my bed. I'd get out of bed turn on the light to assure myself there was not a cat in my room. No cat, but without a doubt her spirit would visit me at bedtime.
@@steelgila I grieved my cockatiel for years. She died in surgery. I grieved Ollie Bird like none other. I tried to replace her for years with other cockatiel, after years of disappointment I adopted a Red Lory who is my little baby. I would never have chose this species. She came to me under unusual circumstances and without a doubt a gift of GOD. My point is there is never replacing a loved one; however, you can begin a new love.
I grieve when a pet passes away. I had two really profound experiences after the disappearance of Lex, a short-haired gray and white cat I had for 10 plus years. I took a nap one afternoon and woke in a semi-sleep state of mind. I was so tired that I could hardly old my head up. I opened my eyes as I lay on the bed. I saw my cat. I reached over and felt its soft fur. My brain was saying, "This cannot be true, but how am I able to see and feel this cat here? Still, I am so comforted." Later, I woke and found my cat was not there, still gone. Years later, I had another cat I rescued. It's name was Mister Pumpkins. This cat lived a little over 10 years. It was simply a horrible thing to be without him. One day as I was preparing to sleep, I closed my eyes and saw incredible brilliance of light, a beautifully manicured lawn with a hedge behind it. I saw my cat jump and run along the side of the hedge. I believe this was a message to me to assure me my cat was happy. I adore cats, rabbits too. In fact, I am fascinated by all animals except snakes, spiders, centipedes, wasps....
Loved the little jam session you two did at the end, so made my day!! Had me rockin' and smilin' ear to ear!! I adore the passion you both have and excitement in the sharing of the information from Swedenborg. Thank you for your time and your hearts! ~Jennifer :)
Wow I am absoluetly grateful you guys did this one, it gives us a deeper understanding. Part of me feels like " we shouldn't read his private journal", the other part of me is as you guys said it is for the sake of science. Honestly though I have faced a lot of these challanges past few years, the difference being as a child my family wasn't religious so at least he has some base where to grab on, a belief where he could go back to, which on my case menaged to confuse me even more because I started believing but without a childood foundation. I have gone through almost everything he nmentioned past 4 years, in contrary from him I fought me for a very long time ( which I think is based on the fact I didn't have a religious upbringing, a faith one could fall back in a case like this ). What really really got me is number 6-duble thoughts. It is very hard to explain to someone else but very real. You know who you are, what you want and what you are working for, you have a goal and deligently moving forward on that path, these are your thought, and of from the side you get these extra set of thought that go against your thoughts, logically you know that this "temptation" ( for the lack of a better term ) is not really you because what these thoughts seem to bring up are things that challange the very core of your thoughts, and no matter how much you try to get rid of them they seem to have a mind or power of their own, and you have to face them even though they just make no sense why you are having this side thought that seems to be opposing your normal thought pattern, yet though is a side thought it seems more challanging because logic isn't helping you get rid off it and it feels almost like it is too strong for you to beat but also as if it isn't your thought....
Thank you so much for sharing this part of your story! Wow, you can really relate to a lot of the things Swedenborg went through. I'm glad if the descriptions of his experiences can help you understand your own a little more. Yes, those double thoughts are intense. Swedenborg wrote that he felt relieve and freed when he realize that those illogical, intrusive thoughts were actually spirits. Then he realized that they were not really part of him, and that he didn't have to "own" them. Kind of like being in a crowd, with some obnoxious characters, and just learning to ignore them and pay attention to other people.
Glad you enjoyed it! :) That music was really fun to do. Here's another musical "blast from the past" in our channel library: ua-cam.com/video/WFRRsxtWNUM/v-deo.html
Hello so I’m cooking and listening to your talk which is highly enjoyable and awareness expanding and then I hear him :”tell them”... and I’m like :”not cool” and then my ears ring and I hear :”tell them, really”😅 Story of my life:) ‘Double thoughts he meant - you hear your thoughts and then you hear ‘tempting thoughts’ as your own-it shape your perception as if it’s your own thought even if you know it’s from ‘outside’ perception is changed...u can clear it, but your biology is already affected.. ‘Snake-dog----dog is a symbol of friend, that’s why he can tempt you so much. You feel mixed feelings cose he is at your private section, you gave him power of friendship--that’s why he can be such a powerful ‘snake’.....yet dog too... ‘Sleep and awake’ it’s simple. You are so tired that your mind functions yet you hear your body starts breathing as when you sleep?? Let’s say this is just next level.. 🍀 good ‘luck’ to us:)
Yes, there sure are a lot of thoughts bombarding us all the time, and it's good to get more and more aware of how to sort them out, what is beneficial and true, and what is harmful and false. A skill to keep on developing!
offTheLeftEye thanks for caring:) good advice. I used my own experience and words to elaborate on sense I had. Wrong or right, who knows:).. as you said nobody knows for sure what he really meant..
Buddy wow I’m so glad I was guided to your documentaries or teaching videos it’s really so mind opening and when you hear it you get a deep inner sense that this is real truth and not just some evils spirits past works to foul and trick people like there is out there. I just wish I made it here sooner but it was not meant to be and I can’t complain about that cuz if things never happened as they did and i seen your stuff long time ago it would of not resinated with me so that’s why i believe things happen when they do so when you counter knowledge like you are showing people will be understood and not get turned off by it. If that makes any sense to you at all lol. But thank you my new friend and keep up the good works buddy it’s really really so unbelievable on how much it’s changed my whole thought process and like a huge weight off my mind and body and a feeling that can’t be explained easy at all but hope everyone who watches your stuff gets the same feeling of letting go all your worries and fears and doubts it’s really just crazy on how much it did for how I look at everything and i thank you truly just so awesome brother like wow thanks. And I thought I was on a high level already of understanding but after the first video I seen of yours sure showed me that I was not even close to the level just that first video gave me and did for me it’s truly remarkable and wish everyone could get a chance to watch it because it would open them to a hole new truth and understanding of what this all means but people are to blocked and sidetracked by the evil ones and them not knowing it so it’s hard to get people to watch but I will be pushing your channel on everyone I think has enough of a understanding to not be thrown off or anything just cuz there lack of knowledge and understanding is the only reason that people would deny it at least that’s what I think. But again thank you and keep it up broskie
Hi, craig, this is Karin. I work on the writing team with Curtis for the show. Wow, I'm really touched by your message here, and I will definitely share it with Curtis. It means a lot to our whole team when the shows impact a person's life. I totally agree with you that things come to us when we're ready, and so I think it was no accident that you found this channel when you did. I'm so glad that the information is resonating with you and feeding your mind and heart. We look forward to interacting with you here on UA-cam!
offTheLeftEye yes totally agree and I can’t stop watching all the videos it’s like a weird knowledge kinda drug I can’t get enough of it’s truly deeply mind opening and hope as much people as possible can get a chance to see your hard work and truth it’s so refreshing and I give thanks to all that are involved. And i think I probably left a Waco load of msgs to you guys today sorry for the msg bombs but wow I had to say something lol and a couple questions I hope u guys can answer for me witch I’m sure u can lol and thanks again really thank you guys awesome stuff
We love that you are excited enough about the information to leave a bunch of messages. :) Our team will get to them as soon as we can during the coming week. We look forward to talking with you!
offTheLeftEye no rush I learned so much last couple days from you guys it’s unbelievable never thought I could gain that much more knowledge and that I hade no idea about any of it is wicked i have always asked for truth and to be able to understand it for to to long and but don’t have to anymore. It’s freeing or like 40 pounds of the shoulders
So cool, ATH Young Phantom! I'm so glad you feel great! Swedenborg had lots to say about dreams. Check out this short clip, "Where Dreams Come From," ua-cam.com/video/BLacHhP0oHI/v-deo.html or this full episode of the same name: ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html if the topic interests you!
Robert Monroe's vibrational state is similar, I've experienced this myself, the shaking the roaring like being ablaze or standing next to a freight train. after experiencing this a few times the veil between spirit and the mind thins. great stuff.
In this last year, my second experience of Awakening, I have heard female voices singing in the room, from flowers in the house, a voice from within from the inner self giving me guidance, confirmation, and caution.
I love you guys, what a great episode! Jon can really shred the fisher-price piano! I've been writing down my own dreams for a while, and now I'm going to read Swedenborg's Dream Diary and see if there's any kind of connections. Exciting stuff, thanks so much!
neoprincess, thank you! I love that you're delving into Swedenborg's dream diary, should be fascinating reading! Check out our episode, "Where Dreams Come From" ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html also for more on how and why we dream! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I had thoughts sent to me , I have visions , I died and came back. I had Angels talk threw me ,then live .Boy is that strange feeling. Any way C-YA on the way up! Boy I feel so blessed sometimes.😀🤚
Oh my goodness, I just had to laugh and smile at the song at the end of this video. Thank you for that and this valuable insight to starting to awaken. I do believe when we are a child we are awake but as we grow and what we were taught. Kind of puts us into a sort of limbo because at times depending on family beliefs or religion one is brought up with. Stifles the spirit in us and at times feels like bumper pool. Bumping into things or walls out of confusion to what our spirit inside is saying. As apposed to what our outside world is saying. As child we know innately we have this inner knowing. As we get older our spirit or inner voice becomes silenced to some degree. Because life happens, we experience things and forget and live our lives like we are on auto pilot... Go to school, get a job, go to church, have a family etc. But if we were taught the foundations of God and His word it never leaves us. It just lays dormant until something in our lives triggers us... A death of a loved one, trauma, a loss of a job or divorce. Or even self reflection... Anything of significance to us. Starts to open that door to our awakening. I compare our awakening to growing pains. Because awakening asks of us to look deep into ourselves which can be very painful to go through. Because our ego, stubbornness and unwillingness to understand always stands in our way. To keep us imprisoned and ignorant. I know for me that I am going through this now and feel relief for some reason. Because I am aware of what this is and always ask God when I pray... To always keep me humble and help me to always face my demons with courage. And let go so that I may be a better steward to lead by example for for others. It's amazing to me that I was thinking about this very subject. And here you are with this enlightening video and answered my questions. Thank you once again for helping me and many others out there in the world to understand... Love and blessings!🙏😇🌹
Thanks for sharing your reflections on this very important process, Pamelyn! I'm so glad to hear these ideas are resonating with your experience -- and may that catchy little tune might keep your heart smiling while you go through your growing pains!
Wow! His writings match so much of what I'm going through! My tears are more sadness for many reasons, some I don't even know why! I don't hear things but my mind battles what's right and do I do things that are wrong in Gods eyes? All in all he was a very descriptive writer, a talent I do not have :( I keep asking the Lord what I am to do for him? Most days as I go to work I ask him to let the light of his love and grace and mercy to shine through me. Thank you for a great video!
Thanks so much for being willing to share a little of what you're going through--I'm sure it will be an inspiration for those who may be going through similar things! I can certainly identify with the feeling of feeling lost and wondering what I should do for God, and I hope you continue to find your way. "I ask him to let the light of his love and grace and mercy to shine through me"--that certainly sounds like the right direction to me! Glad you enjoyed the video as well.
Curtis and Johnathan KUDOS !!! Great ending song !!! On the subject matter, it almost sounds like Swedenborg was having out of body experiences and astral projecting. Shaking, the sounds, visions, talking with celestial beings, rapid thoughts, hearing a voice that isn't your's and what I think about prostration, when people begin to astral project its common for them to be facing their body from above. I'm not saying this is what was happening to Swedenborg but there are some similarities. Wonderful discussion, I enjoyed it tremendously.:o)
This video really spoke to me because I felt that God was really trying to speak to me before I even really knew anything about the bible.. I mean I knew of the bible , God and jesus.. but I never read the bible on a deep level at that time in my life to understand that God was trying to reach me some how... I believe I was 18 years old when I had this dream, I can remember it so clearly. I'm 34 years old now and it still plays in my mind.. I don't know if this is something you can help me with but let me just tell you my dream... I felt as if I was awake and not sleeping at all I threw my blankets around trying to get more comfortable when something grabbed my foot and I felt his teeth gnashing as he was so angry at me. I did nothing to this person. I had no idea who he was. he said to me how could you let me and my son burn to death... as he cursed at me. over and over. I can still remember the sound of his voice and I dont know why God let me remember this dream so detailed that I can hear his voice calling me a B**** . So what should I take from this dream.. could it be god just showing me hell and if so why is that the start of me getting to know him through fear. What I mean is I feel I started to call out to God more after that dream through my fears.
Thanks for reaching out, Lorraine! This certainly seems like an intense dream. From my understanding, I would say this doesn't jive with the essence of God. God is pure love, and cannot embody anger or hatred of any sort. Those qualities are more so aligned with hell. God would never curse you or try and harm you. After all, He sustains your life and desires nothing more than for you to experience the peace and joy of heaven. Dreams are an interesting phenomenon. We actually did an entire show on it, which can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html
@@offTheLeftEye funnily enough, I kept thinking 'for a guy who I didn't know from a bar of soap 3 months ago, I'm seriously invested in how his story goes'.. I think what you guys succeed most at is bringing the man Swedenborg alive in our hearts. I'm really rather grateful he chose to write all this down.. talk about the 'ideal shortcuts to being a human!' :D :D
Feeling drawn to these older videos. I experienced some of this 50 years ago when I adopted a path of meditation. I was so proud of my humility! Ha ha...a lifetime of this practice breaks one of that foolishness. His bursts of humility and feelings of unworthiness are I believe, a necessary breaking down of ego, and provide a revelation of concealed pride, and how it blocks communion with the Lord. Also such revelations, though difficult, are essential so one becomes coach-able and ready to receive instruction. In our modern day, such experiences, if one is not wise and courageous, can land a person in the hospital and medicated. Swedenborg, in a world not yet saturated with all experience being reduced to psychology, had little choice but to muster faith and see it through. Lucky for us all, he did.
Awesome song! Love to see you jamming out on the teeny piano. About the "face plant," that is a common expression in many faiths when one experiences being in the presence of God. Nuns, priests and monks do this during profession of vows. It feels natural, a natural impulse, in a burst of humility or devotion.
you guys seem to me to be from a different planet or dimension!!!! how can you talk about such deadly serious things like that??? you are truly wonderful people, all my love to you
Hi Cecilia, thanks for reaching out. Just for my own clarification, are you feeling like this episode crossed some boundaries for you? Or did you enjoy it? Thanks, and wishing you well :)
I definitely enjoyed it but of course it nicely breaks a few taboos, you have to figure it out for I was raised a catholic ... and in spite of a number of things I still consider myself one... however, within my soul I kind of feel all these deep things are true... I cannot help being amazed by your openness and generosity, what a shame I live far away because I'd love to meet you all ... Thanks for sharing Swedenborg's most intimate and spiritual treasures. Love
I'm so glad these ideas are resonating with you, Cecilia. I realize that some of the ideas can be very different than those taught in traditional Christianity, so I hope you feel free to take it slow, and think things over for yourself. But if things are resonating with your heart and soul, then we're very happy, and hope that you'll continue to explore the concepts. You can most certainly still consider yourself a Catholic, and yet expand what that means to you. God bless! We're very happy to have you in the audience.
Thanks for the kind words, Phillip! Hmm-- great point. There is certainly a dance between life and death in our spiritual development. The death of our external self is a necessary precursor to the flourishing of our spiritual self.
Live the song! The xylophone piano accompaniment brings it into the celestial sounds. Very good guys!!! It also explains the vibrations I've been getting upon awakening, with very little information on the internet. So this Swedenborg revelation is very helpful and revealing. Thanks appreciate this segment.
Over the last year or so, ever since I discovered OTLE, I have watched many of these videos but never ran across this one. Brilliant content and execution as usual and this time with a couple of added highlights - the unexpected musical performance was one and the other the pronunciation in Swedish of "övernaturlig". Not bad Dr. Jonathan!!!
Haha, dangillberg -- yes! This episode does have some sweet highlights! Glad you enjoyed them! I (Chara) think I'll have to go listen to that little song at the end again! :)
I believe that I can share on the two concurrent thought/dream discussion. I also have experienced this. Some dreams are lucid were I am completely aware I'm dreaming and have a degree of control over my actions. Other dreams are like movies where I seam to be witness but controlled by inner desire and emotional ruminations. These types are what people would call regular dream state. The third are the ones that I have experienced and of what I believe Swedenborg is referring to. These dreams play out like the second type, but all the while knowing that I am dreaming. Even to the point of questioning the message of the dream and my actions in the dream and not having the control of a lucid dream. Thus creating two thought process- the first one of force of something, the second thought process is of aware deliberation. Thank you for all your work!
I liked Jen's question, something about even when in the house of my friends! I think when you get the 'feeling' in those circumstances too and the more genuine and intense it is, the more likely you might be to get a more 'in the face', 'flash' kind of insight or spiritual communion.
You're amazing! 😁👍! Talentede musikere, jo ! You're charing this knowledge I probably couldn't get through reading it myself. As always ,so interesting and comforting. Hope you're all ok in this covid times ( maybe not when this video was made ,forgot to check the date ) 🙂
Thanks so much, Lapis! You're very kind! I think this episode was a few years old, I don't remember exactly, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes, we are doing okay through COVID - ups and downs just like everyone else, but focusing on the good as much as we can! Blessings to you and hope you are healthy and happy and well!
One more comment: :). By definition, any experience that a) does not cause distress to the person having it, or b) does not cause distress to the people around that person, is not categorized as a mental illness. Doesn't matter what the experience happens to be. So your emphasis on the fact that Swedenborg continued to be a "high functioning" person who was able to integrate his experiences in a meaningful way that benefits others by definition means that he was not suffering from a mental illness of any kind.
Double Dragon Hi, you seem to me to be very enlightened, by reading a lot of your comments, maybe you could dialogue with me via email at teddy73damron@gmail.com I have some questions I think you might could help with. Thanks for any consideration, Theo
Seven months after my husband's transition he came to sit by me while I was resting on my couch. He sat gently and with great compassion, crossed his hands on his knees and asked me "Now, do you know what I was teaching you?" I said 'Yes, darling." and cried for days and nights.
Do you want to see two angels? Well here they are! These two are precious souls who are speaking to our hearts and minds! And the music was just incredible--what a live performance!!! Thank you to the angels behind the scenes, too!
Mica, I'm so touched by your kind words! I'll make sure Curtis and Jonathan receive your message :)
These two are truly good hearted. Their goodness is infectious.
Thanks for the love, jaylittle! We are blessed to have them leading our team!
Simon and Garfunkel have nothing on Curtis and Jonathan! You guys rock, literally!
What a sweet comment! Thanks for the love :)
Totally agree! I love these guys.
I love Simon and Garfunkel and Curtis and everyone at off the left eye !!!
Agree! Loved this!
Lollllll ! Totally
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality...
I read it the other way as well, Brian, that Spirituality is the source of Science.

How so man?
Thank you! This might just be my favourite show eva 🌹 I might just be waking up ❤️🎈
Sing it, Fiona! :). And again, so kind of you to donate -- thank you! The song at the end of this episode is an all-time favorite. Blessings to you in your new awakening!
I am so glad that UA-cam suggested this one as something I would like - how special it is!! As another commenter said, “You guys rock!” And in so many ways. I am so enjoying learning about Swedenborg because of you all. Thank you! ❤️❤️
Babbajune, I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks, UA-cam's Algorithm! Sometimes I'm glad the internet tracks me because I really do get to see things I love! And when it sends you good spiritual food, that's not so bad, right? Thanks for your kind words, we're so glad we can be of use to you!
Is there any experience in life that will bring one to their knees like the heart breaking humility felt in the arms of Divine Grace.....having been there all along during a life of unawareness and ego centric thinking and life choices. Tears of gratitude are shed beyond our control...
Amen!
Yes, and it is beautiful
loved this insight.. I want all of his books .. and maybe a cd of this song.. thanks from my heart.. My day is not right until I come here to listen about Swedenborg. .
Amen!
Me too. This is my spiritual food.
True it's my daily bread. Thanks Curtis and Sf team.
Boy the falling apart is so right , its like your losing your mind especially for those of us that do a 360 in our beliefs, it's a mind blower!! Love that song!!
It can be a groundbreaking shift in mind, for sure!
"Act proceeds, willing folllows!" That is very encouraging. I sometimes I feel artificial or phony for trying to react to something against me in a charitable way. But once in a while it does feel genuine. The "as of self" at work! What a gift! t's owesome! I try doing that especially with my teenager. He is certainly a source of opportunity!
I hear you about those opportunities, Claudia! The as of self can be an important tool, as well as mediate goods, and "simulations." Blessings to you on the journey!
🤣 He's tearin up that teeny piano!😂 Crackin up! Seriously, thank you for making such a great video. I struggle with the validity of "ascension symptoms." Learning Swedenborg's experience has much put this to ease. I'm looking fwd to (finally) starting my journey with his work. Please make more videos together. You're just having a good ol' time nerding out together. It's fun to watch...AND so informative and helpful.
What a kind message, Samantha! We are super appreciate of viewers like you who are genuinely growing with us. Thanks so much for your support. It means everything!
Wha
I saw a lady come into my bedroom . I wasn't afraid. Seemed she was there to care for me. I saw her more than once. My friend didn't see her but he believed that I saw her.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience...
Spiritual beings having a spiritual experience
Brilliant!
Man that was taken straight from that thing that circulated on Facebook/tumblr 😝😝😝😝
It’s true though.
Everything is actually spiritual and our material world is like some sort of overlay. Like when you’re playing a video game on PC and you download a texture pack or graphic mod and apply it.
We’re playing a spiritual game and we have a human mortal in a material world graphic mod haha 😅
I said that at a church meeting... they'd never looked at it that way... That confused me.
If only I can feel that!
Re thoughts, not all of our thoughts are our own. We can pick up directed thoughts from entities that are around us. These are arrows of the enemy. A great strategy here is to realize that they are not OUR thoughts, and ignore them. Never ever give in. (Resist the devil and he will flee.) It took me a long time to realize this. So if you are feeling normal, and then suddenly start having suicidal thoughts, lustful thoughts, angry thoughts, etc, consider that they are not your own. And don't be afraid of this. It is just the way things are, and being awake to it helps you to fight.
Yes, Michelle! You are blessed to have figured this out on your own! That is a huge part of our message here on this channel. In Swedenborg's terminology, it is hell, or evil spirits, that want to take advantage of us and wreak havoc in our lives. Closing the door to them by just stopping those thoughts and turning toward God or goodness instead is a powerful tool.
Here's a playlist of some of our shows along those lines.

I love how you urge people not to b afraid of this fact that these thoughts in our head do not come from us -- it's just the way it is, and awareness can help! Yes!
Wishing you every blessing in your ongoing journey.
Ugh!!! I've been in the process of waking up for so long not realizing what was happening to me so all I did was fight and reject it. Obviously timing is a big issue and I was not ready but perhaps watching this video is the green light that maybe I should just roll with it. Thank God for you guys. You guys are living angels!
Timing is certainly important! May you find peace and discovery on your path ahead, Erika.
I liked that, "...to whatever he became." Maybe we could say he became a Scribe for The Lord.😊
Great was to put it, Simsane!
I like when Jonathan reads in the dark and sound effects. I was on edge of seat. More, please!!!
haha, there does seem to be a build-up of intensity there!
another great episode....
Thanks to both Curtis and Jonathan Rose.!!!
You're so welcome! Blessings, friend :)
My husband drowned near a creek at our cabin. We buried him nearby. After the entire burial service I was getting on a small plane to go back to the town we lived.
As I got on the plane I looked back at the cabin, I saw him. I don't know if it was a vision or a strong wish. But he was dressed unusual for him. I didn't expect that. He was barefoot with just jeans and a white t-shirt. He was saying I had to go back to town and his expression was compassionate, sad but firm. It was overwhelming.
Susan, that is a profound image. I pray that you can feel his love for you, and know with surety that he is well. Thank you for sharing that precious story.
Man. This reminded me of something that I not entirely dreamed not to long ago.
I felt there was someone who was very upset with me and they stood around me and started beating on me.
I kept praying: "Don't reckon this to them, my Lord. Don't reckon it. Don't reckon it.
Hell is where the heart is.
Heaven is where the heart is.
Where your treasure is, there is your heart.
Wow, sounds like an intense dream! And you are so right. "Where your treasure is, there is your heart."
this was my first live show and wow very busy had fun trying to watch chat and listen to all you said. I listened and I thank you for answering my question.
You're so welcome, Cheri! We were glad to have you viewing the live show!
This was terrific! Great way to study and understand the inner workings. Also, you were both so delightful to take in...Thank you!
Thanks so much, Karen!
I love this program. You both are so good at explaining what is going on with Swedenborg.
Thank you for the kind encouragement! And thank you for watching.
Great explanation. Thanks
double thoughts, I’ve had that happen several times. It happens unexpectedly where my thoughts are making me pray, uncontrollably. I can try to stop praying but I can’t. I then get a call that my son was in an accident or my grandma fell and was severely hurt. Its unexplainable but very lovely. It’s heavenly love I feel. I’ve experienced evil which was a very beautiful flight attendant on a flight , I started praying uncontrollably, loudly! Then as the attendant walked by I saw it’s PURE evil. Almost snarling at me while I was uncontrollably praying.
Wow! Those sound like extraordinary spiritual experiences. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

You two are so awesome!!! I loved the show so much. Thank you for all you do to bring Swedenborg’s books to life for everyone, it really helps so many people like myself . Oh and loved the song at the end you two are so adorable ♥️♥️🙏
This really is a fun episode, isn't it, Jennifer? Those guys make a dynamic duo that is just delightful! I'm so glad to know that our channel is making a difference for you in helping to absorb Swedenborgian thought. It's hard to do without some help! Blessings to you! I think I'll re-listen to that song right now! :)
You've helped me out so much with the death of my son he passed on November 10th 2019
Marilyn, I'm so sorry your son passed away. But so glad you found us and that the message we share here has brought you comfort! I'm sure your son is happy in heaven, wishing the same for you!
I don't know how old your son was, but have you seen "Children in Heaven" ua-cam.com/video/dVJDMaXaafk/v-deo.html ? or this episode, "Will Life Be Different When You Die?" ua-cam.com/video/u67AUEiaFE0/v-deo.html
Sending love to you, and thank you so much for your kind words.
My son was 43 but he had kidney and heart failure.
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you that means a lot to me.
@@marilynallen9597 You will sure have a beautiful reunion with your son someday, and he will have so much to show and tell you!
Thank you, Curtis and Jonathan!! The show itself was informative, but I did not feel it until the duet. It just goes to show that the process of waking up can be a fun thing. Important!!! Joy and laughter can be very spiritual. My take away this week comes from the questions. Action is followed by willing. Jen's question and your answer really addressed a current issue in my life. So helpful. Just do what is right; eventually the feelings will follow. (or not?) I find they do most of the time and then the actions feel genuine, from the heart. Thank you everyone!!
What important insights to have, Mary! I certainly agree that joy and laughter can be spiritual. It's great to hear how the answer to Jen's question resonated with you. Blessings!
Does a visit from your recently deceased kitty count? He was on my bed, then jumped to a 'tree' super-imposed on my wall, opposite my bed. He jumped from my bed to the base of the 'tree' - then leisurely walked up the tree, all the while looking at me, reassuring me that he was fine (he had been killed by a coyote, and I was inconsolable with grief). He walked along the tree limb (a windswept tree - the kind you see on the African plains that are growing at an angle, from strong winds - and right out the window and into the 'heavens' from the tip of the 'tree'. The message I received from him was, "I am still alive, I am fine, please do not be sad, I am going home now. Then poof- he was gone, and the tree melted away. This was not a dream; not a halucination - more REAL than normal reality. I felt peaceful and reassured that he was unharmed and was returning to his original home.
Wow! That certainly sounds like a powerful and comforting experience. You must have had a close relationship with him.
God Bless you Barbara I still find myself grieving over my lost Cockatiel Bandit(AKA 'Bandido'). He(she?) had such a crazy personality and would do the funniest things like attempt to cut in on conversations my wife and I were having or bob his head up and down as I washed dishes while perched on my shoulder as though to help me with his efforts.
My cat of 19 years would visit me frequently. I would feel the pressure of her footsteps on my bed. I'd get out of bed turn on the light to assure myself there was not a cat in my room. No cat, but without a doubt her spirit would visit me at bedtime.
@@steelgila I grieved my cockatiel for years. She died in surgery. I grieved Ollie Bird like none other. I tried to replace her for years with other cockatiel, after years of disappointment I adopted a Red Lory who is my little baby. I would never have chose this species. She came to me under unusual circumstances and without a doubt a gift of GOD. My point is there is never replacing a loved one; however, you can begin a new love.
I grieve when a pet passes away. I had two really profound experiences after the disappearance of Lex, a short-haired gray and white cat I had for 10 plus years. I took a nap one afternoon and woke in a semi-sleep state of mind. I was so tired that I could hardly old my head up. I opened my eyes as I lay on the bed. I saw my cat. I reached over and felt its soft fur. My brain was saying, "This cannot be true, but how am I able to see and feel this cat here? Still, I am so comforted." Later, I woke and found my cat was not there, still gone. Years later, I had another cat I rescued. It's name was Mister Pumpkins. This cat lived a little over 10 years. It was simply a horrible thing to be without him. One day as I was preparing to sleep, I closed my eyes and saw incredible brilliance of light, a beautifully manicured lawn with a hedge behind it. I saw my cat jump and run along the side of the hedge. I believe this was a message to me to assure me my cat was happy. I adore cats, rabbits too. In fact, I am fascinated by all animals except snakes, spiders, centipedes, wasps....
The duet was SO unexpected....thank you SOOO much for that great smile you guys gave me!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)
Best line in the duet: “also known as a face plant”
Loved the little jam session you two did at the end, so made my day!! Had me rockin' and smilin' ear to ear!!
I adore the passion you both have and excitement in the sharing of the information from Swedenborg.
Thank you for your time and your hearts!
~Jennifer :)
Wow! What an awesome comment. Thanks Jennifer for the encouragement, it really means so much to us. Blessings!
Wow I am absoluetly grateful you guys did this one, it gives us a deeper understanding. Part of me feels like " we shouldn't read his private journal", the other part of me is as you guys said it is for the sake of science. Honestly though I have faced a lot of these challanges past few years, the difference being as a child my family wasn't religious so at least he has some base where to grab on, a belief where he could go back to, which on my case menaged to confuse me even more because I started believing but without a childood foundation. I have gone through almost everything he nmentioned past 4 years, in contrary from him I fought me for a very long time ( which I think is based on the fact I didn't have a religious upbringing, a faith one could fall back in a case like this ). What really really got me is number 6-duble thoughts. It is very hard to explain to someone else but very real. You know who you are, what you want and what you are working for, you have a goal and deligently moving forward on that path, these are your thought, and of from the side you get these extra set of thought that go against your thoughts, logically you know that this "temptation" ( for the lack of a better term ) is not really you because what these thoughts seem to bring up are things that challange the very core of your thoughts, and no matter how much you try to get rid of them they seem to have a mind or power of their own, and you have to face them even though they just make no sense why you are having this side thought that seems to be opposing your normal thought pattern, yet though is a side thought it seems more challanging because logic isn't helping you get rid off it and it feels almost like it is too strong for you to beat but also as if it isn't your thought....
Thank you so much for sharing this part of your story! Wow, you can really relate to a lot of the things Swedenborg went through. I'm glad if the descriptions of his experiences can help you understand your own a little more. Yes, those double thoughts are intense. Swedenborg wrote that he felt relieve and freed when he realize that those illogical, intrusive thoughts were actually spirits. Then he realized that they were not really part of him, and that he didn't have to "own" them. Kind of like being in a crowd, with some obnoxious characters, and just learning to ignore them and pay attention to other people.
The timing and coincidence of my happening on to this video, is amazing!
Wonderful! We would love to know how you ended up here at this video, if you would like to share the story!
I'm LOL I've watched you for months and never thought of you singing. Fun! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! :) That music was really fun to do. Here's another musical "blast from the past" in our channel library: ua-cam.com/video/WFRRsxtWNUM/v-deo.html
Found the. Channel and think I have been almost through most of the shows...complete marathon..such a left eye opener..:-)
Haha, your left eye must be tired! ;) We're so glad to have you join the audience, and I hope you'll continue to feel fed by the information we share!
Hello so I’m cooking and listening to your talk which is highly enjoyable and awareness expanding and then I hear him :”tell them”... and I’m like :”not cool” and then my ears ring and I hear :”tell them, really”😅
Story of my life:)
‘Double thoughts he meant - you hear your thoughts and then you hear ‘tempting thoughts’ as your own-it shape your perception as if it’s your own thought even if you know it’s from ‘outside’ perception is changed...u can clear it, but your biology is already affected..
‘Snake-dog----dog is a symbol of friend, that’s why he can tempt you so much. You feel mixed feelings cose he is at your private section, you gave him power of friendship--that’s why he can be such a powerful ‘snake’.....yet dog too...
‘Sleep and awake’ it’s simple. You are so tired that your mind functions yet you hear your body starts breathing as when you sleep?? Let’s say this is just next level..
🍀 good ‘luck’ to us:)
Yes, there sure are a lot of thoughts bombarding us all the time, and it's good to get more and more aware of how to sort them out, what is beneficial and true, and what is harmful and false. A skill to keep on developing!
offTheLeftEye thanks for caring:) good advice.
I used my own experience and words to elaborate on sense I had. Wrong or right, who knows:).. as you said nobody knows for sure what he really meant..
Buddy wow I’m so glad I was guided to your documentaries or teaching videos it’s really so mind opening and when you hear it you get a deep inner sense that this is real truth and not just some evils spirits past works to foul and trick people like there is out there. I just wish I made it here sooner but it was not meant to be and I can’t complain about that cuz if things never happened as they did and i seen your stuff long time ago it would of not resinated with me so that’s why i believe things happen when they do so when you counter knowledge like you are showing people will be understood and not get turned off by it. If that makes any sense to you at all lol. But thank you my new friend and keep up the good works buddy it’s really really so unbelievable on how much it’s changed my whole thought process and like a huge weight off my mind and body and a feeling that can’t be explained easy at all but hope everyone who watches your stuff gets the same feeling of letting go all your worries and fears and doubts it’s really just crazy on how much it did for how I look at everything and i thank you truly just so awesome brother like wow thanks. And I thought I was on a high level already of understanding but after the first video I seen of yours sure showed me that I was not even close to the level just that first video gave me and did for me it’s truly remarkable and wish everyone could get a chance to watch it because it would open them to a hole new truth and understanding of what this all means but people are to blocked and sidetracked by the evil ones and them not knowing it so it’s hard to get people to watch but I will be pushing your channel on everyone I think has enough of a understanding to not be thrown off or anything just cuz there lack of knowledge and understanding is the only reason that people would deny it at least that’s what I think. But again thank you and keep it up broskie
offTheLeftEye you are the man again thank you it’s been a unbelievable life changing after watching your videos like truly thank you
Hi, craig, this is Karin. I work on the writing team with Curtis for the show. Wow, I'm really touched by your message here, and I will definitely share it with Curtis. It means a lot to our whole team when the shows impact a person's life. I totally agree with you that things come to us when we're ready, and so I think it was no accident that you found this channel when you did. I'm so glad that the information is resonating with you and feeding your mind and heart. We look forward to interacting with you here on UA-cam!
offTheLeftEye yes totally agree and I can’t stop watching all the videos it’s like a weird knowledge kinda drug I can’t get enough of it’s truly deeply mind opening and hope as much people as possible can get a chance to see your hard work and truth it’s so refreshing and I give thanks to all that are involved. And i think I probably left a Waco load of msgs to you guys today sorry for the msg bombs but wow I had to say something lol and a couple questions I hope u guys can answer for me witch I’m sure u can lol and thanks again really thank you guys awesome stuff
We love that you are excited enough about the information to leave a bunch of messages. :) Our team will get to them as soon as we can during the coming week. We look forward to talking with you!
offTheLeftEye no rush I learned so much last couple days from you guys it’s unbelievable never thought I could gain that much more knowledge and that I hade no idea about any of it is wicked i have always asked for truth and to be able to understand it for to to long and but don’t have to anymore. It’s freeing or like 40 pounds of the shoulders
Was so happy I did not miss this it touch my heart in so many ways. Thanks
Oh what a special message. We're happy the video touched your heart :)
Loved the song!!
Thank you, Petra Marie! So glad to hear that!
I fell asleep while watching this.. i had the craziest dream/s. I feel great
So cool, ATH Young Phantom! I'm so glad you feel great! Swedenborg had lots to say about dreams. Check out this short clip, "Where Dreams Come From," ua-cam.com/video/BLacHhP0oHI/v-deo.html or this full episode of the same name: ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html if the topic interests you!
@@offTheLeftEye will do😊 i appreciate your content very much.
@@42phant0m And we sure appreciate having you in the audience!
Robert Monroe's vibrational state is similar, I've experienced this myself, the shaking the roaring like being ablaze or standing next to a freight train. after experiencing this a few times the veil between spirit and the mind thins. great stuff.
Great show loved the song aswell as you two goodvibers! Grettings from Sweden.
Awesome! Thanks so much for letting us know, Hyde. Greetings from Pennsylvania!
In this last year, my second experience of Awakening, I have heard female voices singing in the room, from flowers in the house, a voice from within from the inner self giving me guidance, confirmation, and caution.
Wow, Nona, I envy your spirit connection! That sounds really powerful and comforting. How is that for you?
This is awesome. The wrap up is amazing. Love you all
Love you too, Janelly Jay! I'm so glad you enjoyed this! God bless!
I came across this Chanel at perfect timing... thank you.
I'm so glad! Funny how that works, right? Take care, AvA!
Absolutely wonderful, both of you are very generous and joyful. Thanks so much❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome, Sonia! This is a fun one, for sure!
This is utterly fascinating. I am listening to it again. The music is an extra treat! I want to hear more discussions like this.
Yes, this was definitely a fun and fascinating show to produce!
What a great wrap up!! It's really why i like and follow this channel ☺☺
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for letting us know, my friend!
Spirit is always preparing us for an inevitable transfiguration.......loved this session guys can’t get enough of your depth perspectives
So glad you enjoyed this, john! I love how you've put that: "Spirit is always preparing us for an inevitable transfiguration." So true!
My fav part is the happy song at the end. Yet the whole show is very informational. Thx so much. ☮️ &❤️ to u n urs
Thank YOU, lightoflovehealer, love to you as well!
I love you guys, what a great episode! Jon can really shred the fisher-price piano!
I've been writing down my own dreams for a while, and now I'm going to read Swedenborg's Dream Diary and see if there's any kind of connections. Exciting stuff, thanks so much!
neoprincess, thank you! I love that you're delving into Swedenborg's dream diary, should be fascinating reading! Check out our episode, "Where Dreams Come From" ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html also for more on how and why we dream! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Wow great Performance Always Prepared. Thanks Curtis and Jonathan.
Haha, glad you enjoyed that song! 😊
You guys are cracking me up!
This one was good for a few laughs, wasn't it? :)
Fun musical notes! :)
:) So glad you enjoyed it!
I had thoughts sent to me , I have visions , I died and came back. I had Angels talk threw me ,then live .Boy is that strange feeling. Any way C-YA on the way up! Boy I feel so blessed sometimes.😀🤚
I'm honored that you would share that with us. God bless, my friend!
Oh my goodness, I just had to laugh and smile at the song at the end of this video. Thank you for that and this valuable insight to starting to awaken.
I do believe when we are a child we are awake but as we grow and what we were taught. Kind of puts us into a sort of limbo because at times depending on family beliefs or religion one is brought up with. Stifles the spirit in us and at times feels like bumper pool. Bumping into things or walls out of confusion to what our spirit inside is saying. As apposed to what our outside world is saying. As child we know innately we have this inner knowing. As we get older our spirit or inner voice becomes silenced to some degree. Because life happens, we experience things and forget and live our lives like we are on auto pilot... Go to school, get a job, go to church, have a family etc. But if we were taught the foundations of God and His word it never leaves us. It just lays dormant until something in our lives triggers us... A death of a loved one, trauma, a loss of a job or divorce. Or even self reflection... Anything of significance to us. Starts to open that door to our awakening. I compare our awakening to growing pains. Because awakening asks of us to look deep into ourselves which can be very painful to go through. Because our ego, stubbornness and unwillingness to understand always stands in our way. To keep us imprisoned and ignorant. I know for me that I am going through this now and feel relief for some reason. Because I am aware of what this is and always ask God when I pray... To always keep me humble and help me to always face my demons with courage. And let go so that I may be a better steward to lead by example for for others. It's amazing to me that I was thinking about this very subject. And here you are with this enlightening video and answered my questions. Thank you once again for helping me and many others out there in the world to understand... Love and blessings!🙏😇🌹
Thanks for sharing your reflections on this very important process, Pamelyn! I'm so glad to hear these ideas are resonating with your experience -- and may that catchy little tune might keep your heart smiling while you go through your growing pains!
@@offTheLeftEye ,
Lol... It's already imbedded in spirit and heart, even as I type this... Much love and blessings🙏😇🌹
Wow! His writings match so much of what I'm going through! My tears are more sadness for many reasons, some I don't even know why! I don't hear things but my mind battles what's right and do I do things that are wrong in Gods eyes? All in all he was a very descriptive writer, a talent I do not have :( I keep asking the Lord what I am to do for him? Most days as I go to work I ask him to let the light of his love and grace and mercy to shine through me. Thank you for a great video!
Thanks so much for being willing to share a little of what you're going through--I'm sure it will be an inspiration for those who may be going through similar things! I can certainly identify with the feeling of feeling lost and wondering what I should do for God, and I hope you continue to find your way. "I ask him to let the light of his love and grace and mercy to shine through me"--that certainly sounds like the right direction to me! Glad you enjoyed the video as well.
:-)
nice song and great episode overall, very uplifting, thank you.
Haha, we're stoked that you were uplifted by the video. Wishing you well!
Curtis & Johnathan rock!! 🎸
Hey, thanks! So glad you enjoyed it. :)
Curtis and Johnathan KUDOS !!! Great ending song !!! On the subject matter, it almost sounds like Swedenborg was having out of body experiences and astral projecting. Shaking, the sounds, visions, talking with celestial beings, rapid thoughts, hearing a voice that isn't your's and what I think about prostration, when people begin to astral project its common for them to be facing their body from above. I'm not saying this is what was happening to Swedenborg but there are some similarities. Wonderful discussion, I enjoyed it tremendously.:o)
Great insights! I'm thrilled that this video resonated with you. Blessings, my friend!
This video really spoke to me because I felt that God was really trying to speak to me before I even really knew anything about the bible.. I mean I knew of the bible , God and jesus.. but I never read the bible on a deep level at that time in my life to understand that God was trying to reach me some how... I believe I was 18 years old when I had this dream, I can remember it so clearly. I'm 34 years old now and it still plays in my mind.. I don't know if this is something you can help me with but let me just tell you my dream... I felt as if I was awake and not sleeping at all I threw my blankets around trying to get more comfortable when something grabbed my foot and I felt his teeth gnashing as he was so angry at me. I did nothing to this person. I had no idea who he was. he said to me how could you let me and my son burn to death... as he cursed at me. over and over. I can still remember the sound of his voice and I dont know why God let me remember this dream so detailed that I can hear his voice calling me a B**** . So what should I take from this dream.. could it be god just showing me hell and if so why is that the start of me getting to know him through fear. What I mean is I feel I started to call out to God more after that dream through my fears.
Thanks for reaching out, Lorraine! This certainly seems like an intense dream. From my understanding, I would say this doesn't jive with the essence of God. God is pure love, and cannot embody anger or hatred of any sort. Those qualities are more so aligned with hell. God would never curse you or try and harm you. After all, He sustains your life and desires nothing more than for you to experience the peace and joy of heaven. Dreams are an interesting phenomenon. We actually did an entire show on it, which can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html
BIG LOVE, back at you Gini! Great to have you with us.

The duet was fantastic. I haven't heard anything like it since our cat had kidney stones. More! x
Glad you enjoyed it!
and just when i thought i couldnt love you guys any more than I already do, you go ahead and totally make my day! Rock on!! :D
Thanks so much, Soaping! We're so grateful for your enthusiastic presence here! Did anything in particular about this video strike you?
@@offTheLeftEye funnily enough, I kept thinking 'for a guy who I didn't know from a bar of soap 3 months ago, I'm seriously invested in how his story goes'.. I think what you guys succeed most at is bringing the man Swedenborg alive in our hearts. I'm really rather grateful he chose to write all this down.. talk about the 'ideal shortcuts to being a human!' :D :D
@@soapingdown-under9758 What a great way to express it: "the ideal shortcuts to being a human." I love it!
Might just be Wakeing up.. LOL u go guys🎸🎹 Peace and Love ✌💟
Thank you, Charlotte! We're sending peace and love right back to you.
I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much!
You're welcome, Yvonne. This was a fun one!

Thanks so much Marilen! We are so happy to hear that the video resonated with you :)
Feeling drawn to these older videos. I experienced some of this 50 years ago when I adopted a path of meditation. I was so proud of my humility! Ha ha...a lifetime of this practice breaks one of that foolishness. His bursts of humility and feelings of unworthiness are I believe, a necessary breaking down of ego, and provide a revelation of concealed pride, and how it blocks communion with the Lord. Also such revelations, though difficult, are essential so one becomes coach-able and ready to receive instruction. In our modern day, such experiences, if one is not wise and courageous, can land a person in the hospital and medicated. Swedenborg, in a world not yet saturated with all experience being reduced to psychology, had little choice but to muster faith and see it through. Lucky for us all, he did.
"A necessary breaking down of ego" -- yes, that's an essential part of the process! Thanks for adding to the conversation, Ivorybow!
The duet is brilliant ❤️
Thanks Karen!!
Awesome song! Love to see you jamming out on the teeny piano. About the "face plant," that is a common expression in many faiths when one experiences being in the presence of God. Nuns, priests and monks do this during profession of vows. It feels natural, a natural impulse, in a burst of humility or devotion.
That's a wonderful example! Thanks for sharing with us, Carolyn :)
you guys seem to me to be from a different planet or dimension!!!! how can you talk about such deadly serious things like that??? you are truly wonderful people, all my love to you
Hi Cecilia, thanks for reaching out. Just for my own clarification, are you feeling like this episode crossed some boundaries for you? Or did you enjoy it? Thanks, and wishing you well :)
I definitely enjoyed it but of course it nicely breaks a few taboos, you have to figure it out for I was raised a catholic ... and in spite of a number of things I still consider myself one... however, within my soul I kind of feel all these deep things are true... I cannot help being amazed by your openness and generosity, what a shame I live far away because I'd love to meet you all ... Thanks for sharing Swedenborg's most intimate and spiritual treasures. Love
I'm so glad these ideas are resonating with you, Cecilia. I realize that some of the ideas can be very different than those taught in traditional Christianity, so I hope you feel free to take it slow, and think things over for yourself. But if things are resonating with your heart and soul, then we're very happy, and hope that you'll continue to explore the concepts. You can most certainly still consider yourself a Catholic, and yet expand what that means to you. God bless! We're very happy to have you in the audience.
I'm sure I'm even happier, keep up this GREAT WORK!! :)
I loved your duet, Curtis and Jonathan. What is falling apart is also coming together - yes?
Thanks for the kind words, Phillip! Hmm-- great point. There is certainly a dance between life and death in our spiritual development. The death of our external self is a necessary precursor to the flourishing of our spiritual self.
Beautiful
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching.
In a word... Wonderful
I’m so glad you enjoyed this episode, Michael. Thank you for watching!
Truly inspiring. You guys rock! Ronaldo & Messi of spirituality
That's so kind! We're honored to serve you :)
The both of you are so adorable!! I was actually nodding my head to the song, thank you for this precious gem.❤️🙏😄
Haha, Chinonye! The little song at the end of this video has been a huge hit! So glad you found this one and have shared in the delight of it.
@@offTheLeftEye I really love those Two!!
@@Chinonye-sj5it1mt5w They are a great team aren't they?
@@offTheLeftEye yes they are!
Well. Just..thank you. I’ve been experiencing all of these and still not out of it. And there are several other symptoms associated with it
I'm glad this video was useful to you, Andreea!
That was awesome!
Loved the song at the end.
Truly loved it.....
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.
Live the song! The xylophone piano accompaniment brings it into the celestial sounds. Very good guys!!! It also explains the vibrations I've been getting upon awakening, with very little information on the internet. So this Swedenborg revelation is very helpful and revealing. Thanks appreciate this segment.
I'm so glad this episode was useful to you, Annette! Thanks for reaching out :)
Over the last year or so, ever since I discovered OTLE, I have watched many of these videos but never ran across this one. Brilliant content and execution as usual and this time with a couple of added highlights - the unexpected musical performance was one and the other the pronunciation in Swedish of "övernaturlig". Not bad Dr. Jonathan!!!
Haha, dangillberg -- yes! This episode does have some sweet highlights! Glad you enjoyed them! I (Chara) think I'll have to go listen to that little song at the end again! :)
I love this!!! Great work.
Awesome to hear! Thanks, Helene.
I believe that I can share on the two concurrent thought/dream discussion. I also have experienced this. Some dreams are lucid were I am completely aware I'm dreaming and have a degree of control over my actions.
Other dreams are like movies where I seam to be witness but controlled by inner desire and emotional ruminations. These types are what people would call regular dream state.
The third are the ones that I have experienced and of what I believe Swedenborg is referring to.
These dreams play out like the second type, but all the while knowing that I am dreaming. Even to the point of questioning the message of the dream and my actions in the dream and not having the control of a lucid dream. Thus creating two thought process- the first one of force of something, the second thought process is of aware deliberation.
Thank you for all your work!
Interesting thoughts, Gary -- thanks for sharing them. And you're welcome! We feel blessed to do this work!
Special note: play it to the end; and don't miss the song that starts at 47:13. Hilarious way to sum up the 10 Early Signs. [I smiled out loud.]
:) So glad you enjoyed it!
I liked Jen's question, something about even when in the house of my friends! I think when you get the 'feeling' in those circumstances too and the more genuine and intense it is, the more likely you might be to get a more 'in the face', 'flash' kind of insight or spiritual communion.
Love the song! Thanks for making me smile today! :-)
Deborah, thank you! So glad we could help!
I didn’t know you guys had “talent”! Loved that.
:) Glad you enjoyed that. It was fun!
Great music!
Glad you enjoyed it! That was fun to do. :)

Thank you. This is a very helpful .
That's great to hear! Thanks so much for reaching out :)
Thank you for your work.
You are most welcome, Carole. Thank you so much for watching!
You really must take this show on the road! You two are fantastic! 🎶 Not only are you two very talented musically, but hysterically funny as well!
Thanks so much for your love and support, Susan! It means a lot to us :)
You guys are excellent! Thank you for helping those that are digging deep! Excellent! Thank you! Thank you God
thank you God indeed Kimberly! He is the source of all wisdom.
Love the light hearted song! Yay!
That's a fun one, isn't it? Thanks for being with us, Jessica!
You're amazing! 😁👍! Talentede musikere, jo ! You're charing this knowledge I probably couldn't get through reading it myself. As always ,so interesting and comforting. Hope you're all ok in this covid times ( maybe not when this video was made ,forgot to check the date ) 🙂
Thanks so much, Lapis! You're very kind! I think this episode was a few years old, I don't remember exactly, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes, we are doing okay through COVID - ups and downs just like everyone else, but focusing on the good as much as we can! Blessings to you and hope you are healthy and happy and well!
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you! ❤
One more comment: :). By definition, any experience that a) does not cause distress to the person having it, or b) does not cause distress to the people around that person, is not categorized as a mental illness. Doesn't matter what the experience happens to be. So your emphasis on the fact that Swedenborg continued to be a "high functioning" person who was able to integrate his experiences in a meaningful way that benefits others by definition means that he was not suffering from a mental illness of any kind.
Right!
Double Dragon Hi, you seem to me to be very enlightened, by reading a lot of your comments, maybe you could dialogue with me via email at teddy73damron@gmail.com
I have some questions I think you might could help with. Thanks for any consideration, Theo
Great show guys, loved the song!!
Great! Thank you so much for watching.
The show and song...three thumbs up!
Hooray!!
I have some BIG questions, where can I go to ask them regarding Swedenborg and his information? Please email and let me know?
Feel free to send your questions to offthelefteye@gmail.com, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can!
