I am SO happy for the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg and grateful to the crew of Offthelefteye for making this critical information widely available to everyone. Thank you! 🙏
So blessed to have been lead to Swedenborg ... I wish to be a part of a Swedenborgian Community, can't imagine being without Swedenborg's wisdom in my daily life. I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Best wishes
This documentary was an entrance stage showcasing Swedenborg’s achievements. I believe Swedenborg was misunderstood in his era and as the times changed, his work became noticed. I have found new meaning in God and Jesus since listening to Swedenborg’s work.

Thank you for this. Swedenborg is indeed a revelation ! Your work in promoting and explaining his material is incredible and transformative in ways I am only just beginning to fully appreciate. You're doing great work. Long may it continue !
Just found last night. Appreciate the downloads. Thank you. Can't believe I'd never heard of him before now. Unbelievable information & you give away.. Thanks so much
This documentary of Emmanuel Swedenborg should be shared with everyone. I have watched it many times, and recommend it to all my family. Truly Incredible !!!
Very intriguing man whose perspective strikes a chord with memories of my earliest spiritual understanding. As I near the final chapter of my life, I find his insights familiar and tugging on me to further contemplate. My ancestors on both sides were Swedish, with family representatives in the ministries of the American Swedish Lutheran Church; so it’s possible I was introduced to some of Swedenborg’s insights when I was very young. I intend to undertake my own informal studies of Swedenborg’s spiritual philosophy.
How wonderful that these concepts are feeling like "home" to some part of your spirit. We wish you all the best in your studies of Swedenborg's material!
Although questionable his visions and beliefs about the afterlife and spiritual world. He seemed a man of love and certainly wise. His work regarding concordance in the Scripture and it’s spiritual interpretation has been a true blessing to me and others in understanding the Scripture. Though he leaves much work undone in regard to understanding the Scripture he has lit the flame for many of us in the dark. And that I believe is of God.
You are on track. So long as you can have some grip of the Internal Sense of the Word and apply it to life or live by it, then you are being led by the Lord Jesus Christ into Heaven. You should by now have no doubts about life after death. Man is but a spirit clothed with a physical body so as to be able to live life on earth. While on earth we eare expected by our creato to live a life of Faith and Love
Interesting point at the 11:30 about the 3 people found by a study at Stanford to be the most brilliant whoever lived, Goethe, John Stewart Mill, and Swedenborg. I wonder where John Dee landed in their study.
This was definitely worth hearing, even though I've already been listening to the Swedenborg foundation on UA-cam for over a year! I shared it to FB because it's such a thorough introduction to Swedenborg, the man. Thank you! It was also cool to see Dr. Jonathan Rose from a few years back :)
It is especially interesting that Emanuel Swedenborg made engineering contributions with mining inventions and flying, studied iron and copper and wrote about these things. He discovered the function of the endocrine glands, among other things.
Very good and informative program but the music is overpowering the narration. Sometimes it’s quite difficult to listen to. But aside from that I enjoyed it.
The audio in this video stops at 1:28. Tried it on both iPad & TV (Verizon w/Roku). Please fix it. I'm sure a lot more people in addition to me would benefit. Thanks!
Did Swedenborg hint anything about reincarnation? I don't embrace that idea but many things about it. When he talks about creating the next life. Swedenborg was definitely a gift. The Bible and all science and philosophy are Hermetically inspired and Swedenborg nailed so many things.
From what Swedenborg observed during his 27 years of daily spiritual experiences, we spend just one lifetime here on the the physical plane and then continue our cycles of learning and development in the spiritual world, rather than coming back to earth. But Swedenborg does briefly offer an explanation for the experience of "remembering past lives" which has to do with the fact that in spirit people can easily share memories with each other in a very vivid way. In this video, "Do We Reincarnate?", Curtis looks at the differences and similarities between Swedenborg's reports and reincarnation beliefs: ua-cam.com/video/kVYKEfpnxj0/v-deo.html
Sorry about that, Chaz. This is quite an old video. Our newer videos do a better job of balancing the audio with the video. Check out our recent videos on our Off The Left Eye channel: www.youtube.com/@offTheLeftEye
Thank you for this information and beautiful documentary :) While the music is a bit loud in the beginning for just one or two minutes, after that the sound gets balanced again smoothly till the end
Unfortunately this is an older video that was made for us and the sound design and quality here isn't great. We just wanted to make the information available online for free for people who wanted to watch. You can check out our newest videos about Swedenborg's thought on our other UA-cam channel with modern music and graphics: ua-cam.com/users/offTheLeftEye
"Other Wise,, what would I do all day" awesome moment,, the sound of music can be turned down and still have continuity it distracts a lot from the mes sage,,
THE BACKGROUND "MUSIC" RUINED THE VIDEO. I COULDN'T HEAR THE TEXT WELL ENOUGH TO GET THE MEANING. APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T HEAR OR SEE THE TWO COMMENTS FROM A YEAR AGO..
Hello Nick! Sorry about the music, this is an older video that we made available online, and unfortunately we don't have the power to edit the music to make it quieter. Have you tried turning on subtitles / captions on UA-cam during the parts you had trouble hearing? Thanks for watching!
I would love to watch this but the intro (first two minutes) is too "woo woo" and the loud music completely drowns out the documentary. It's a shame because knowing Swedenborg's background is important as a basis for listening to what he had to say to the world. It would be so beneficial for the Swedenborg foundation to consider doing a new, updated professional quality video of his biography.
In Acts 9:34 Peter says to Eneas, Jesus Christ maketh the whole: arise and Make thy Bed. And he arose immediately. My question is what does it mean to "Make thy bed". I read where bed means doctrine but I don't get the connection of making a bed and doctrine?? Can anyone help? I really am trying to read between the lines.
I question whether psychic awareness might be different from spiritual awareness of the afterlife, thinking psychic awareness may be "expanded knowing" of the physical world (like the Stockholm fire ES spoke of here) where spiritual knowing may be beyond the physical. I'm thinking there may be two separate paths of knowing, one not related to the other. I have experienced "expanded physical awarenesses" since childhood but wonder if they are connected to my spiritual knowings....don't know...
I think there was some music that UA-cam thought was copyrighted, so we chose to have UA-cam silence the music for us in that section to avoid issues. The sound should return to normal shortly after that section! Thanks for your patience!
Swedenborg Foundation the same music is playing before and after the silencing. The narration is silenced as soon as a portrait of Asian master (Suzuki sensei?) comes on. So anyone can undersrand that the channel has censored some part of the story that connect swedenborg with Suzuki sensei. The reply about music wouldn't satisfy even the most dumbest of your listeners, I think. :)))
Nope, we haven't censored anything, it is a music issue with UA-cam in the introduction of the video, but thanks! The connection between Swedenborg and many other thinkers, including D.T. Suzuki (you were right!) is mentioned again later in the video, and we have a lot of resources on our website if you want to check them out: we have a have a whole book by Suzuki (swedenborg.com/product/swedenborg-buddha-north/), and some blog posts about him (swedenborg.com/scholars-swedenborgianism-zen-buddhism/), and you might also be interested in our video about Swedenborg and Buddhism on this channel (ua-cam.com/video/GBbuaPLIkE4/v-deo.html). I hope that helps!
Such a great documentary! I keep coming back to it and every time find something new! Like 27:08 in description of heavenly communities sounds like social networks on internet are the correspondence to heaven!
🤔Tell me by what POWER Yeshua(Jesus) raised LAZARUS from the DEAD, The Old Widow only Son, and the Daughter of Ruler of the Pharisees. both back to LIFE.

Why do we keep needing them when they've pretty much let us know our interior hunches are right: "Love everybody, tell the truth, feed people." Neem Karoli Baba 🙋🙏📿🕉️💜
He was obviously an extremely intelligent man, possibly surpassing even Da Vinci. But what many fail to consider is that genius and honesty are not strongly correlated. A brilliant mind may more easily deceive others, including themselves. Having said that, I must admit that this is an interesting video of fascinating man, and much of what he espoused is definitely true. But it's always a mistake to trust anyone more than the Most High...the Great Spirit in Whose presence we all live, who confirms one way or the other what we may learn from each other.
Is Swedenborg's state of heightened consciousness properly being interpreted as "intense concentration" ... did he document this term?. Or were his new awarenesses perhaps just the opposite....that of surrendering the brain/intense thought to the greater awareness by means of "surrender" in meditation, that state where the "walls of intellect are dissolved, surrendered" , where thereby the subtle "knowing" of the mind of the Divine finally is heard? I'm wondering if "intense concentration" is more a logical mind intellect wrong interpretation that may be disallowing what we now know as "surrender" of scientific thought. When we stop forcing the brain/thought to get us to that place to which it CANNOT go...then the exhausted seeker falls into the arms of Divine Wisdom which may take us to that place. (per thousands of years of Eastern India experience).
I hear you. This video was made many years ago, when this kind of background music was the norm. Currently, we're much more mindful of the volume of any background music.
My god...did this man even sleep ? I feel so 'unworthy' just listing to what this man did in one life...( can someone please give me some juicy' Swedenborg gossip'...Some blunders maybe...anything? ;-)
Yes, he was brilliant, but after Swedenborg, in the 1800s, the world started to have dependable information from the life after this life through the Spiritism, through Alan Kardec's Spirits Doctrine. Spirits Doctrine goes beyond Swedenborg' s Spiritual experiences, so The Spirits Doctrine is the answer. However, I have to say that I really look up to Emanuel S. He was brilliant 👏 he was ahead . I can also say that he could've been the first Spirits due to his mediumship and other spiritual faculties. He really met all the standards for being a good Spirits: good moral character, spiritual connection, God in his heart, and science in his brain.
nothing worse than trying to listen to a documentary.. with the friggen music drowning it right out.. for the love of god... why do people Have to have background noise!!.. sorry can't watch it.. too irritating..

I don’t really agree. It reminds me a lot of educational videos made in the 90s that we used to watch in school. The use of synthesizer has that 80s or later sound. The video quality is too good for the 80s, let alone the 70s, but clearly prior to the turning point when made-for-tv films have production values comparable to cinema at times.
"Naikan" - it means "looking inside". Just looked it up, thinking he said "Nikon" 😂 but found it by Googling"Japanese therapy" next to it. Peace and blessings to you! 🙋♥️
I hear you. This video was made many years ago, when that kind of background music was the norm. We are much more aware of having less, and quieter, background music now.
I hear you, Jeff, and I'm sorry about that. This video was made many years ago, and we can't change it now, but we are aware of keeping the volume of the background music down in our more recent videos (which you can find on our Off The Left Eye channel).
When our body ceases to function, we do not die but pass from a dim life to a clear one, for the death of the body is only a continuation and a perfection of life.
I am SO happy for the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg and grateful to the crew of Offthelefteye for making this critical information widely available to everyone. Thank you! 🙏

wow the "background" music is WAY WAY TOOO LOUD!!!!!!
Have you calmed down yet? ☺️
@@mortalclown3812 Think he will have by now 😀
I was just going to type the same comment. No music necessary
Wow I just had to get up and comment because I’m forced to turn it off 😢 the music is just too loud and annoying. Too bad the info is interesting
Oh my word,; who can listen to this RACKET !!
This documentary was an entrance stage showcasing Swedenborg’s achievements. I believe Swedenborg was misunderstood in his era and as the times changed, his work became noticed. I have found new meaning in God and Jesus since listening to Swedenborg’s work.

I am shocked and delighted at the avalanche of similarities between Joseph Smith and Swedenborg!
Swedenborg wasn’t a weirdo with multiple wives or inspired Mormons to marry little girls, don’t compare Emmanuel to that charlatan
Great synopsis! Thank you!
This man was amazing.
Peace, Love and Heartfelt Blessings unto Thee.
Thank You❤
Thank You❤
Thank You❤
Thank you, Sophia! We are wishing God's blessings to you, too!
Background music is too loud. Hard to hear the narrator
LOVE LOVE LOVE .. thank you. Talk about a life fully lived
It is especially interesting that Emanuel Swedenborg made engineering contributions with mining inventions and flying, studied iron and copper and wrote about these things. He discovered the function of the endocrine glands, among other things.
This is a very good intro to Swedenborg. I've been following the Off the Left Eye UA-cam channel but I learned some things I didn't know.
Swedenborg teaches love.
Very good and informative program but the music is overpowering the narration. Sometimes it’s quite difficult to listen to. But aside from that I enjoyed it.
This is amazing spiritual knowledge ! It’s all that one needs to understand and be happy in this earthly plain.
Please consider captions for these wonderful videos. Thank you!
The audio in this video stops at 1:28. Tried it on both iPad & TV (Verizon w/Roku). Please fix it. I'm sure a lot more people in addition to me would benefit. Thanks!
It's worked every time I have seen it for years now. (?) ☺️
Amen. Second time I watched, shared it. Thanks.
Excellent documentary.

Its all about knowing all this believing in it. And having it balance with society to keep yr sanity. Awesome documentary. LOVE. :)
Fantastic ! Wow
WOW ---awesome story---never really knew who he was .....
Justin Synnesvet was a professor of philosophy and thefirst Swedenborgian I ever met.
Music louder than the audio... Interesting
Sorry about that, Chaz. This is quite an old video. Our newer videos do a better job of balancing the audio with the video. Check out our recent videos on our Off The Left Eye channel: www.youtube.com/@offTheLeftEye
Thank you for this information and beautiful documentary :)
While the music is a bit loud in the beginning for just one or two minutes, after that the sound gets balanced again smoothly till the end
Painful to put up with background music when trying to comprehend what is said. Very frustrating!
The film was done 2006. In today's standard quite loud - yes - but probably ok in 2006 with the technical possibilities of that time.
Very interesting but why have music what drowns whats been said
What book is read in 31:22 ? Thank you.
Who was in charge of the sound design on this? The music is much too loud and overall is poorly conceived and adapted .
Unfortunately this is an older video that was made for us and the sound design and quality here isn't great.

For me, the value of the content overrides by far the minor problem with the background music.
The music is distracting. Turn it down.
😂
Loved it!
I cant really hear this documentary as the background music is too loud.
Very helpful. Thank you.
We're so glad that this video resonated with you. Thank you for watching!
what a beautiful anthology thank you for being..
Hi, can I know what was narrated during 1.16 through 1.42 about D. T. Suzuki please? Thanks
"Other Wise,, what would I do all day" awesome moment,, the sound of music can be turned down and still have continuity it distracts a lot from the mes
sage,,
Thank you for this. It's such wonderful news
Thank for recommending
The sound cuts out at 1:33. Maybe you should repost.
Music very annoying!
Why, for the love of Mike, do you insist on such LOUD MUSIC?! I can't hear the narration.
Believe me: there will be a time that your shows will be broadcasted on tv!
Nice, but music not necessary…..very distracting.
Yes, I hear you. This video was made decades ago, and now we're much more aware of keeping the background music to a minimum.
I agree with Julie below. The music has me losing interest in seeing this documentary. Turn off the music!
Yes MUSIC IS TOO LOUD & distracting.😕I really wanted to hear narration.
There's a problem with the sound in the beginning
THE BACKGROUND "MUSIC" RUINED THE VIDEO. I COULDN'T HEAR THE TEXT WELL ENOUGH TO GET THE MEANING. APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T HEAR OR SEE THE TWO COMMENTS FROM A YEAR AGO..

Thanks for this, Swedenborg is very interesting I have a few of his books been interested in him since 2013
Hi can someone tell me the name of the music that is playing in the background at around 2.30 minutes. Thanks
Outstanding! 🤔 (🌈⚡🦉)
The loud background music has ruined what would have otherwise been a great documentary! :(
i agree, the music is too loud in parts. please remake
In Acts 9:34 Peter says to Eneas, Jesus Christ maketh the whole: arise and Make thy Bed. And he arose immediately. My question is what does it mean to "Make thy bed". I read where bed means doctrine but I don't get the connection of making a bed and doctrine?? Can anyone help? I really am trying to read between the lines.

, thanks for your thoughtful comment. So different from Brett Harding's.
Does anyone know what caused the decline on Swedenborg's influence in America?
great sharing thank you ✿╮

shared !!
are there any swedenborg churches or meetup groups?
Hi! You can find a list of different organizations and churches at the bottom of this page on our website: swedenborg.com/community-and-events/.
The loud music makes you concentrate on the narration. Its like focusing on a person and tuning out the background in real life...
That's a great way to look at it!
Is Swedenborg's state of heightened consciousness properly being interpreted as "intense concentration" ... did he document this term?. Or were his new awarenesses perhaps just the opposite....that of surrendering the brain/intense thought to the greater awareness by means of "surrender" in meditation, that state where the "walls of intellect are dissolved, surrendered" , where thereby the subtle "knowing" of the mind of the Divine finally is heard?

The music is louder than the narration 😟
Sorry about that. This video was made many years ago, and in our more recent videos we are very aware of keeping the music minimal and the volume low.
Deep Stuff!
Interesting documentary. It is also interesting that they keep using the art of William Blake who did not appreciate him.
The background music is irritating. Sometimes it drowns out the voice of the narrator.
I hear you. This video was made many years ago, when this kind of background music was the norm. Currently, we're much more mindful of the volume of any background music.
Danke
My god...did this man even sleep ? I feel so 'unworthy' just listing to what this man did in one life...( can someone please give me some juicy' Swedenborg gossip'...Some blunders maybe...anything? ;-)
Other people for home faded also doubt it should be background music, not for ground music. Your messages being lost in the racket.
Yes, he was brilliant, but after Swedenborg, in the 1800s, the world started to have dependable information from the life after this life through the Spiritism, through Alan Kardec's Spirits Doctrine. Spirits Doctrine goes beyond Swedenborg' s Spiritual experiences, so The Spirits Doctrine is the answer. However, I have to say that I really look up to Emanuel S. He was brilliant 👏 he was ahead . I can also say that he could've been the first Spirits due to his mediumship and other spiritual faculties. He really met all the standards for being a good Spirits: good moral character, spiritual connection, God in his heart, and science in his brain.
nothing worse than trying to listen to a documentary.. with the friggen music drowning it right out.. for the love of god... why do people Have to have background noise!!.. sorry can't watch it.. too irritating..
+Julie Mayer Do what I do, turn it down and read the cc

This is from 2006? It has a really 70s feel. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just pointing it out.
I don’t really agree. It reminds me a lot of educational videos made in the 90s that we used to watch in school. The use of synthesizer has that 80s or later sound. The video quality is too good for the 80s, let alone the 70s, but clearly prior to the turning point when made-for-tv films have production values comparable to cinema at times.
Please spell the mention of Japanese therapy for depression
"Naikan" - it means "looking inside". Just looked it up, thinking he said "Nikon" 😂 but found it by Googling"Japanese therapy" next to it.
Peace and blessings to you! 🙋♥️
I would like to listen to this, but the music is too distracting. The presentation is very poorly produced.
MOG turn the music down
The audio is ruining the video
I hear you. This video was made many years ago, when that kind of background music was the norm. We are much more aware of having less, and quieter, background music now.
Oh dear God, I hate when people make videos with the background music so loud you can hardly hear the speaker and can't concentrate on the message...
I hear you, Jeff, and I'm sorry about that. This video was made many years ago, and we can't change it now, but we are aware of keeping the volume of the background music down in our more recent videos (which you can find on our Off The Left Eye channel).
Please turn down the music!
Yes, very annoying. I like to listen to these talks with MP3. With this bloody music it sounds like some add.
@@spiritualanarchist8162 Look how many repeated complaints..🤦 Nothing new under the sun.
*@@mortalclown3812. and thus ? What is the meaning of thou comment
When our body ceases to function, we do not die but pass from a dim life to a clear one, for the death of the body is only a continuation and a perfection of life.
It's a wonderful thing to look forward to, isn't it?
the music is TOO LOUD ON here i couldn't enjoy it
Please fix the audio and repost.
