My mother in law said something to me once that has stuck with me. We were talking about worrying and she said that worrying about something was an insult to God because it was like you were saying that you didn't trust or didn't feel that He was capable of handling it. I hadn't ever looked at it that way before and found it very profound and helpful.
A lady said to me once. 'You worry too much. If you worry about the past you worry about things that you can't change. If you worry about the future you worry about things that haven't even happened yet. Never forgotten it either ❤
Recently just discovered this channel and God is so good. I grew up in a christian household so I always knew God. However I had so much questions and I knew there was so much more and there is. I’m 18 and in college currently and I just ask for prayer as I hope God can begin to use me to help show the word to my generation.
Sending prayers, Deshawn! We can share the ways that God has worked in our lives, and trust that God is leading them all very carefully on their own spiritual journeys. Blessings to you!
Congratulations on finding this pot of gold of a chanel. I'm almost a bit jealous because I was 48 when I stumbled across it. Everything in good time I guess. You are about to learn a whole lot and its all good! ❤❤❤
Yes I hear you about wishing you might have found it sooner Anna. Perhaps the things you were learning in the meantime will serve you well on your journey. God does seem pretty spot on when it comes to timing, at least when I look back.
@@annahunter2192It truly is amazing i’m seeing my whole life transform and i’m finally getting answers i’ve always desired. Just writing this is brining me to tears because while I may only be 18 I have gone through so much trials and tribulations such as having no father and so much trauma and now all I can do is give thanks to God as it as all brought me to where I am now 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🫂
This is going to be one of my favorite episodes of yours ... ever! All of this hits home. I struggled with near constant anxiety for much of my life. Finally, in a moment of complete despair, God led me to notice how a Catholic friend calmed himself by saying rosaries. I decided to come up with my own prayer list, which included what I had available in my memory at the time (Lord's Prayer, Serenity Prayer, 23rd Psalm, and "I trust you Jesus." from the Jesus Calling devotional book.) Long story made short, as I started to repeat these lines anytime I noticed the problematic thoughts, the demons backed off!! I now sleep through each night, and awaken in peace. Anytime I sense the darker entities wanting to "feed," I start saying the prayers again. I really think this is why it's so important to "pray without ceasing." It allows God's spiritual immune system to do its work. p.s. All that led me to find Jerry Marzinski's work, and he led me to this Channel. Talk about Divine Providence!! p.s.s. I love the casual setting for this video (sofa/chair.). 🙂
Divine Providence strikes again, Kelli! That's lovely to hear. I, too, (Chara here) have come up with a list of ideas/prayers to run through when I hit the wall of fear or paralysis or anxiety. I love how you put it -- it allows God's spiritual immune system to do its work. Thanks for adding to the conversation here -- and glad you like that cheerful furniture!
I watched this live last night and was captivated. I felt like I was meant to hear it. I was thinking about how my father had been ruminating lately in a spiral of negativity and regret. Someone from his nursing home called me yesterday to say he was adjusting well and was very happy. It seemed like such a contrast to his mood a few days ago. Then early this morning the nursing home called to say he died in his sleep. It is sad of course but I am moved that he had a break from his mental burdens yesterday and felt some joy.
Oh goodness, Jennifer. What a story. Our hearts go out to you as your father transitions from earth to heaven. So touching that his last day or so was free of the old regrets. The stories of angels being near at the end of earthly life are incredibly powerful! Blessings to you at this tender time.
My mother lived with anxiety and a negative outlook most of her life. It was hard to be around her for any length of time. One day her nursing home called me to say she kept insisting to see me so when i got home from work I went over there. She had this idea that "something happened "but couldn't explain anything more. I put it down to her dementia and said I would stay with her until she calmed down, which she did. The out of the blue, she said she wanted to die. I asked her why and she said " because I know it will be peaceful ". This was weird because I knew she had zero belief in God and thought anyone who did was an idiot. Then she went into some half sleep state, but at one point got agitated and said that there were bad people in the room. I couldn't see anything but made a show of chasing them out, which satisfied her. The room got very peaceful then and I totally tuned into that. I DO believe in God and I know the peace that can come . And then she died. I was left with that peace. It was so deep I just sat there for 2 hours before I told the staff she had passed.
@ Wow that is a powerful story! Truly precious that you could witness that shift and even help her by chasing away the demons. Bless you for being patient with her gradual acceptance of the afterlife. Thank you.
Hey guys. Love you guys. I have been having lots of dreams lately with a conundrum of evil characters, they express anger, they express hate, they express coercive control... and yet there is a solution to why there is a problem to their foray... can't help but thinking of Swedenborg and his suggestion of angelic guidance for all. The evil offers a dilemma and the angels offer a solution. I like to think that this is true. Thankyou for giving Christianity a sanity.
Sounds amazing, Dennis -- real spiritual equilibrium right in your dream! So happy to hear you find sanity in this approach to Christianity. Blessings on your spiritual journey!
This was absolutely one of the best episodes I’ve ever watched on this excellent channel! I love this concept of Jonathan and Curtis together talking for hours.. it’s SO GOOD!! The topic was very interesting, and I am so grateful for having found OTLE. Thank you guys, love you ❤
Thanks so much for checking in, sigrid, to let us know these ideas are making a difference for you! So glad Providence led you here. Thanks for the love, and we send you love and peace, too!
@@offTheLeftEyeCurtis Dr Rose For me this was an eye opening vid. Very well done. I'm sharing this one with a few of my friends. One I know needs this.
Curtis and Dr Rose have done it again. The timing of this ‘lesson’ airing is epic. Evil Spirits exist as Devine Spirits exist within all of us. It’s up to us to recognize, accept then replace evil (thoughts, bad intent) with angelic spirits. That’s not easy every day. That’s not easy weekly! Your laughter, wisdom and direction are so powerful. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes, Mary -- Not easy to be on top of RECOGNIZING that this evil hanging around in our minds is something we can shoo away! So glad you find these conversations helpful!
Just wonderful, humour, wisdom, deep true comfort, you transform lives you two. Thank you Curtis and Jonathan and thank you all you beautiful spirits who surround them!
Such a sweet comment, mettebohart! So glad this conversation touched your heart -- and I love that you thought to thank the beautiful spirits around them! Blessings to you!
@@themillicow The Curtis emoji? Awesome, right? There are a few others, too! Haha, God bless them, it's such a hilarious idea and I'm happy they added it. I think you can only see these emojis if you are a member.
Have been listening to one or both of you guys and reading any one of Swedenborg’s books every day for many years. This presentation is one of the best! A million thanks .
I almost never worry anymore; not seriously. But, I did this last week I woke up with a worry and it was interesting because it came with an image of a man I've never seen before in my life. He wasn't pleasant and I told him he wasn't welcome in my thoughts. Said a prayer, and that was that. Strange, but this discussion makes that episode make perfect sense!!
This was excellent. The fact that Satan knows when we are worried and then the worry develops into anxiety, and anxiety develops into health and mental issues is actually easy to spot once you know what to look for. This is why God tells us to rejoice and to show gratitude towards Him. Worry is UNBELIEF--plain and simple! It's also self-centeredness, because our mind is continually on self...and not on how God is going to see you through. You are telling God that you don't believe He can handle your situations. So many Christian easily confess that they are worried and anxious. This says so much about the person. When they say that, I know they have grown little in their spiritual development. Yet they tell everyone and speak just like unbelievers. All this does is bring more of it into your life. I am not like-minded with these individuals. If you are going to grow, you must be self-taught because the church did not make it their mission to teach the flock.
Yes, l.g. -- Believing and trusting in God is the ultimate antidote to worry and anxiety. I think it's part of the human condition to struggle with this, but we can ask God to help our unbelief.
I was hoping I wasn’t about to be freaked out by the subject matter, fortunately Curtis and John were cracking me up. I’ve been listening to some Greek Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant uploads and those guys get scary, evil is real and it’s cool to have a strategy worked out in advance. Good job guys.
When I've had a troublesome situation, and I start to go over and over it, repetitively, I write it all down. That way I can let go of it, knowing that I can come back to it if I need to, but it allows me to let go of it for a time. It gives me the time to detach and then when I go back to read it, om not attached to it anymore.
That's a spiritually mature way to discover your motivations, 4. Writing your reflections focus and filter them for you, especially when you do so prayerfully.
Very enjoyable, insightful. Watched the entire episode.. Thanks for the work creating this. I love the interplay between you both. I do tend to oversalt my food. I'm going to cut back. Thank you all!
This video is a huge gift and blessing to all of us and I wish the whole world should watch, like and practice these teachings! Thank you So much for this wonderful and awesome teachings as this came in at the right time with regards to the wildfire out break in Los Angeles. Oh God our Father we commit it to your mighty hands and we leave it there with the trust that you are in total control of it all and it will be well. Amen!❤🙏 I love this video, very very helpful and thank you again!! ❤😚❤
Glad to hear how powerful this video was for you, Chinonye. Amen to your prayer, and may we all find more innocence and peace as we learn to trust in our Creator!
I've been watching for years, and I just became a member! No matter what, this channel always pulls me back and is there when I need it the most! Also I have read that when you worry about a person it actually sends negative energy to them....and Bob Marley my favorite song, 3 little birds! Oh and Curtis the scanning of the body I understand 100% It's like you're to hyper aware of your body.
I feel like you were somehow listening in on a conversation I had yesterday and have made this video especially for me 😂 I have been tormented by this for years and years. I can’t see a way out as it has such a firm grasp on me. It has worsened with time and I barely sleep now. I lost confidence in God recently - I have had decades and decades of bad luck and can’t, at this stage, work out what ‘good’ is hidden in His relentless challenges. You’d think eventually he would roll me a couple of sixes. I think this lack of confidence has allowed the demons to thrive even more than they used to.
Posie that sounds really, really hard. I am sorry that your life has had a long string of struggles. That is cool that you feel like the video was created for you! God can pull that kind of things off, in my experience. I pray that your confidence in God can come back stronger than ever.
Our hearts go out to you for what sounds like a very long rough patch, posiefluff. We pray for a growing ability to recognize those disturbing thoughts and throw them out with a resounding "Get out of here!!!" And for the beginnings of trust in Divine leading. I hear you that God feels absent. May you begin to believe He cares.

During the "pandemic," my son fell victim to deep spiritual worrying and paranoid thinking. I refuse to follow this path, I don't worry about what I can't change. I also don't watch any news media or follow any organised religion. I know the world and myself are not perfect. But I still look for peace and beauty, and I always find it. I always find wisdom in this channel. Don't worry because none of us are getting off this planet alive anyway 😂.
Bless you for choosing peace of mind, GoodDogBonny. Looking for beauty and love is a spiritual pursuit -- and I'm with you: it's there to be found! Glad you find some wisdom here, as we all "walk eachother home...."
@ An increase in the number of people dying year on year. WW1 was pretty bad, I know from backpacking people still visit the cemeteries in France. An exert from "The Hill": >>>‘Huge, huge numbers:’ insurance group sees death rates up 40 percent over pre-pandemic levels “Death rates are up 40 percent over what they were pre-pandemic,” said Davison of OneAmerica’s group life policy holders. To illustrate just how severe the current death rate is, Davison said a 1 in 200-year catastrophe would likely only cause a 10 percent increase over pre-pandemic deaths. Even more alarming is where those death rates are hitting, with Davison saying it’s primarily among working aged people between the ages of 18 and 64 who are covered by OneAmerica’s group life policies. The insurance company says that’s similar to what the rest of the group life industry is seeing and is consistent with CDC data.
@richardjy89 Yes, I'm aware of all this. I've endured abuse for killing granny, but I don't like preaching to people. This forum is about sharing positivity.
“How do you get in the car with the Lord” That’s a great book title and maybe steps to understand how Swedenborg, through his divine interaction with the spiritual world, teaches us to get in that car and let the Lord drive.
Jesus Said..Avoid Pride..Lust..Greed..Anger and Worry. These are the stressors. God Gives us commandments for OUR GOOD. Living them helps us live in Peace..the healthiest and happiest state for our mind..soul..body. The Father knows what we need before we even ask..Have Faith! In what Jesus Said and God Does 😊❤
You express it very well Kathleen. The commandments are fo rour longterm happiness, not to add burdens to our backs. Living a good life is genuine freedom.
I love the dialogue that you two are creating. I was introduced to Dr Swenborg through A Course In Miracles. So I am very grateful to have found your channel.
Well consider yourself warmly welcomed, Yvonne! Very glad to know that you are finding value in the conversations here. We often get mentions of ACIM in these comments -- love it when different philosophies share similar qualities!
Thanks for this useful information! The fall-back trust exercise example fell flat with me cuz I'm one of the many people who was actually dropped! I have already used the survey suggestion (be aware of what you're worrying about, then see how things actually play out) & the "you don't know what you need" (i.e. when nonsense pops ups, try to accept that God knows what it's for). Thanks as always, M
I remember this saying from when I was younger, The first two letters in God is GO and the first three letters in Satan is SAT. Goes with what your saying here about being busy and being useful. 😊
I have literally been in a5 year desert of numerous diagnosis of mental health struggles. I was literally on the edge of this entangled mess from unhealed childhood traumas. I couldn’t see what God was trying to do in the midst and I was even blaming Him for what I was going through. When they say you literally have to come to the end of yourself, it’s true. BUT GOD. No matter what, accept the healing. The process is rough, but his yoke is easy and His burden light. Deliverance from this tormenting demons is what Jesus died for. TRUST HIM. Thank you both for this discussion. It is vital to have.
Blessings to you on this very challenging journey, Tina. Yes, God is near and pulling you to health and happiness. So glad you can feel the easy yoke and light burden, deep underneath the painful process. We're so glad to know this discussion feels truly helpful for you. We send prayers for peace and strength and healing. God bless you!
Trying to “figure something out” feels like a trap - God knows ALL things - He always tells me what I need to know -- no matter what the media cares to share (or not). I just need to remember that!!
Great reminder, karieberry! "Figuring it out" is the booby prize, says a friend of mine. Asking the Lord to let us know what we need to know, and moving forward as best we can, might be more fruitful.
Point #3 is just exactly what has happened to people caught in conspiracy theories. Encouraging them out of that way of thinking is almost impossible. They live in such fear!
I like your examples but I'm struggling with some of my anxieties and worries, especially around my children. I believe my child was hurt by someone, and I can't help but worry and want revenge, it's hard to consolidate and find trust in god after knowing what can and has happened, especially to innocent children.
That is perhaps the hardest scenario to deal with, Blackdragon. God is not the one who hurts children. He allows human freedom, and people sometimes choose terrible things. God is working at all times to protect the spirit/soul of the child and of all of us. Perhaps you can come up with some action to take to address the issue, without letting the feeling of revenge just eat you alive. Asking God to help you deal with these feelings, to take them away and help you move forward in a productive way, is a practice that some people find helpful. Blessings to you and your children.
People make mountains out of molehills. Then they cause actual trouble. So what do you think is a healthy level of concern? And are things like "Trust in the Lord with all your heart" or "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself" really meant to make you not live in reality? "Don't worry, nothing bad will ever happen." I thought that the point of it was kinda the opposite, so that you don't believe in false convictions and self-fulfilling prophecies, therefore preventing you from becoming self-righteous because of those things. You know, because self-righteous people don't live in reality. That's why they make mountains out of molehills, and cause actual trouble.
Like so many issues of being human, Purnu, it's a complex question! Swedenborg (on whose writings this channel is based) emphasized that we need to take responsibility for our lives, and not just stand there with our hands hanging down, but in the long run, we can't control everything. So believing that some kind of Benevolent Force is working toward our highest good -- no matter what the current situation looks like -- can be a comfort.
A good example of the 3rd trap SE3626. It is like Jesus vs the Pharisees. A Pharisee might think: "What? how can all I've been studying and believing be wrong? My lifetime of works and devotions are wrong?" Yet there was one, Nicodemus who saw and acknowledged Jesus. Anything in this world can be an 'End Trap'. Religious beliefs, spiritual knowledge, academics, careers, family and etc. A true man servant to God do not have his own mind or thought, or seperated from God's thought. He possess not his own self but the self of God. A true humble and submitted servant can be turned and manipulated as God wishes. But a self centered person cannot. He cannot unwind, unlearn, abandon his own ego and things he pride himself in and with.
There are 3 distinct processes that go on in the brain (the home of thoughts). Thoughts are not created by the brain they are received in the brain that is then observed by? The answer to that will become apparent to everyone eventually. The pointing here is that the observers (you and I) are not the creator of thoughts, and likewise remembering is not something you do. You may believe you do, but there is no evidence known to you or anyone else how we do anything. We know that the brain is connected to the body and its actions, but there is no explanation of how you run the show, just an assumption. Effectively, we believe we are all doing something (in control) that no one knows how they do it. The illusion has been unravelled ❤️🙏Ramanamma Who? Author and 21st-century confirmist
@offTheLeftEye I appreciate that I am privileged to have a map as it is of the mind/body machine. The brain receives quantum data, and this comprises imagination, creativity, and guesswork. The other process that appears to be going on is data, which runs the body and includes heart, breathing and aches and pains, etc. These are explained to us personally by God in the form of us or ourselves. The voice we use outwardly and inwardly is God's voice. It is you he is talking to, but you think it you talking to you. These 3 activities in the brain cover everything that we think of as human. It is difficult to understand, but humans are not even a sentient being. All humanity is a false identity. We are souls from heaven, not humans going to heaven because we've been good. Once you really know this, it is game over. But it is the end for everyone so at this time we are woken but don't leave. I cross my fingers every day and hope to die. It is the truest mantra a soul can have. Love and wisdom to you all and your families. Ramanamma Who?
I’ve watched about 20 of these videos and I’ve been praying for discernment about it because there is so much focus, not on God, but the truths of swedenborg. I felt drawn to read “The Great Divorce” by CS Lewis. I got the end of the book where it’s talking about the importance of walking by faith and when he wakes up from this dream not touting it as absolute truth-that God is not pleased with Swedenborg. It immediately opened my eyes. You guys should be quoting the Bible. Not Swedenborg. Jesus is the way, the truth, the light, no one comes to the Father except through Him.
Hello, Liz! I'm so glad that you turn to God in your search for discernment and clarity. Actually, every video of ours is very focused on God, because that was Swedenborg's sole focus, but since the way we (and he) speaks are different than traditional Christianity, I can understand why it doesn't seem that way all the time. Just as people will cite Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, etc, but know that the focus is the Lord, we cite Swedenborg and yet consider the source and focus to be the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't know how far you got into this video, but the end result is all about following Jesus's instructions to not worry, and to instead put our trust in God in order to be protected from worry. I LOVE C.S. Lewis's books! Regarding "The Great Divorce", I (Karin) don't have a copy on hand, but from my memory of reading the book years ago I believe it is not God that isn't pleased with Swedenborg, but rather C.S. Lewis the author who seemed to be irritated with Swedenborgians that he knew. His story "The Great Divorce" is actually very, very aligned with what Swedenborg wrote about the choices we make about good and evil, and the results of those choices in the afterlife. And "The Screwtape Letters" are very aligned with what Swedenborg learned and witnessed about the tactics of evil spirits. Swedenborg knew from direct experience, and extensive Bible study, that Jesus is the one God of heaven and earth. In his writings he mostly calls Him "the Lord", so sometimes people think he doesn't talk about Jesus enough. Anyway, I just want to clarify where we're coming from, but I absolutely hope that you follow your heart and conscience in seeking God, and that you don't follow this channel unless it seems to you to be aligned with your heart's beliefs. God bless!
Everything Emanuel ever did and experienced was because of Jesus. When he asked Him if he could add 'servant of Jesus Christ' behind his name on the title page of his books Christ not only gave permission but commanded that he do that. Everything he related to us from the spiritual worlds was because Jesus wanted that to happen.
Through the innocent blood of Jeshua Yahoshua Sri Issa Emmanuel Anointed Logos Christ Jeshua Satan has no power Our Heavenly Father Power Over All He is All Love Wisdom and Power
Is this something you experience during the night? The only thing I can think to offer is to look at a section in an episode we did a few years back about dreams. Starting at about 33 minutes in, Curtis reads a quote that then leads into a discussion about sleep paralysis, which can sometimes include the sense of being sexually molested by a spirit. I hope this can help! ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you. It’s been years. There wasn’t much help in it since I am already awake. Jesus is more cause than help as he forced me in unity on the cross. I can tell you that cross is dangerous because I heap your sins back on you and also make you pay for the attack! I am the one who convicts and disciplines. Having never agreed to make this world Or any other nor to ever be given away, I can tell you I have no graciousness about it. Regarding John 1:1, I was there but not willingly, nor with or as. They are users and hypocrites
We honor everyone's freedom to tune in or not, lmcg. These two are old friends having more of a conversation than one interviewing the other, and they are quite used to the dynamic between them. But do take care of yourself!
I totally relate to Swedenborg. It must be because so many of his spiritual gifts were opened. Then he couldn’t shut it down. It was blaringly obvious. I know because the same thing is & has been happening to me since my kundalini rising &! Second sight opening. I thought I was alone, but thrilled Swedenborg had exposed this in his journal. No coincidence your podcast just popped up so timely.
Hi, this is Karin now! Hmm... It seems to me that mostly it's more like they love to keep our thoughts in states of mind that perpetuate anxiety. So, I doubt whether evil spirits are reflecting on whether the thoughts are true or false, but rather just rushing in to generate anxiety when the opportunity arises, and trying to keep that train going! And it's just a fact that thoughts that perpetuate anxiety are false. What do you think?
@@offTheLeftEye that could definitely be how it starts. With the trapping alone. But wouldn't they notice a pattern after a while. After many times. That time and time again our false fears are getting the best of us?
Seriously.We're comparing life's the flowers in the ground. It's easy to say.Don't worry when you're GOD IN flesh. If I was jesus christ too I wouldn't worry. But jesus christ doesn't have the powers that a normal person had. Jesus christ was god in flesh, so there were no worries for him. Unfortunately , I am a human being that is not God in flesh. Yes, there worries for me.CauseI can't manifest anything with thought like jesus christ could. Of course, God The creator of the atom could say yeah, don't worry about it because he's God. Listen, i'm not trying to be negative, nancy here but let's understand the specifics the creator of all could tell me, don't worry if I was the creator of all until I become the creator of all i'm worrying
Jesus DID go through intense suffering, DominicanMarine, so I'm not sure he experienced having no worries, even if he knew what the long term goal was. Worrying does seem to be part of the human condition, but it's something we can work on: trying to develop true trust in the Divine!
I absolutely 💯 agree with you. They say Jesus suffered. How does God in Flesh suffer. Jesus showed pain, but he was not on our level of consciousness. Do you honestly presume a man who could walk on water.It feels pain like the rest of us😂😂😂😂 really?? Imagine when you play VR, that's how Jesus was . Swedenborg consistently maintained that the infinite, indivisible power and life within all creation is God. In his theology, he asserts the absolute unity of God in both essence (essentia) and being. So he never lost his divinity even when he turned on Jesus Mode
@ Jesus felt deeper and more intense suffering than we do because His love is greater. "He was despised, rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Isaiah.
Yes, we sure do! We consider the Lord Jesus Christ to the be the One God of heaven and earth. And that's what Emanuel Swedenborg believed very strongly. The conclusion of this podcast discussion focused on Swedenborg's declaration that the way for gather protection against spirits that bring intrusive thoughts is through turning to the Lord, and following his teaching to refrain from worry.
Why don’t you do something more productive and educate people what spirits are in how they come about as intelligent energy… the universe is mental! yes that means every inch of energy. We see has a certain element of intelligence to it. And when these elements congregate together because like attracts like they will then manifest into a spirit and attach themselves to an individual of the same vibrational frequency. Ether and ether and what we breathe and breathe out they are inside and outside.. get to the basics boys
Please feel free to explain all that on your own channel, Theophanes. Our mission here is to share the ideas in Swedenborg's works, so that limits what we talk about and how, sometimes. We're not discussing ALL the ways to see spiritual and psychological reality, just Swedenborg's perspective.

That is a great mantra Anna! I will remember it.
Recently just discovered this channel and God is so good. I grew up in a christian household so I always knew God. However I had so much questions and I knew there was so much more and there is. I’m 18 and in college currently and I just ask for prayer as I hope God can begin to use me to help show the word to my generation.
Sending prayers, Deshawn! We can share the ways that God has worked in our lives, and trust that God is leading them all very carefully on their own spiritual journeys. Blessings to you!
Congratulations on finding this pot of gold of a chanel. I'm almost a bit jealous because I was 48 when I stumbled across it. Everything in good time I guess. You are about to learn a whole lot and its all good! ❤❤❤
Yes I hear you about wishing you might have found it sooner Anna. Perhaps the things you were learning in the meantime will serve you well on your journey. God does seem pretty spot on when it comes to timing, at least when I look back.

Stay focused. You will go on the journey of a lifetime! ❤🙏.
This is going to be one of my favorite episodes of yours ... ever! All of this hits home.
I struggled with near constant anxiety for much of my life. Finally, in a moment of complete despair, God led me to notice how a Catholic friend calmed himself by saying rosaries. I decided to come up with my own prayer list, which included what I had available in my memory at the time (Lord's Prayer, Serenity Prayer, 23rd Psalm, and "I trust you Jesus." from the Jesus Calling devotional book.)
Long story made short, as I started to repeat these lines anytime I noticed the problematic thoughts, the demons backed off!! I now sleep through each night, and awaken in peace. Anytime I sense the darker entities wanting to "feed," I start saying the prayers again. I really think this is why it's so important to "pray without ceasing." It allows God's spiritual immune system to do its work.
p.s. All that led me to find Jerry Marzinski's work, and he led me to this Channel. Talk about Divine Providence!!
p.s.s. I love the casual setting for this video (sofa/chair.). 🙂
Divine Providence strikes again, Kelli! That's lovely to hear.
I, too, (Chara here) have come up with a list of ideas/prayers to run through when I hit the wall of fear or paralysis or anxiety. I love how you put it -- it allows God's spiritual immune system to do its work.
Thanks for adding to the conversation here -- and glad you like that cheerful furniture!
I love this talk!...and Saint Padre Pio said "Pray, hope and don't worry." as well.
Glad it hit the target for you, Molly. "Pray, hope and don't worry" -- words to live by!
I watched this live last night and was captivated. I felt like I was meant to hear it. I was thinking about how my father had been ruminating lately in a spiral of negativity and regret. Someone from his nursing home called me yesterday to say he was adjusting well and was very happy. It seemed like such a contrast to his mood a few days ago. Then early this morning the nursing home called to say he died in his sleep. It is sad of course but I am moved that he had a break from his mental burdens yesterday and felt some joy.
Oh goodness, Jennifer. What a story. Our hearts go out to you as your father transitions from earth to heaven. So touching that his last day or so was free of the old regrets. The stories of angels being near at the end of earthly life are incredibly powerful! Blessings to you at this tender time.
My mother lived with anxiety and a negative outlook most of her life. It was hard to be around her for any length of time. One day her nursing home called me to say she kept insisting to see me so when i got home from work I went over there.
She had this idea that "something happened "but couldn't explain anything more. I put it down to her dementia and said I would stay with her until she calmed down, which she did. The out of the blue, she said she wanted to die. I asked her why and she said " because I know it will be peaceful ". This was weird because I knew she had zero belief in God and thought anyone who did was an idiot.
Then she went into some half sleep state, but at one point got agitated and said that there were bad people in the room. I couldn't see anything but made a show of chasing them out, which satisfied her. The room got very peaceful then and I totally tuned into that. I DO believe in God and I know the peace that can come . And then she died. I was left with that peace. It was so deep I just sat there for 2 hours before I told the staff she had passed.
@ Wow that is a powerful story! Truly precious that you could witness that shift and even help her by chasing away the demons. Bless you for being patient with her gradual acceptance of the afterlife. Thank you.
Hey guys. Love you guys. I have been having lots of dreams lately with a conundrum of evil characters, they express anger, they express hate, they express coercive control... and yet there is a solution to why there is a problem to their foray... can't help but thinking of Swedenborg and his suggestion of angelic guidance for all. The evil offers a dilemma and the angels offer a solution. I like to think that this is true. Thankyou for giving Christianity a sanity.
Sounds amazing, Dennis -- real spiritual equilibrium right in your dream! So happy to hear you find sanity in this approach to Christianity. Blessings on your spiritual journey!
Well said Denis 👍
This was absolutely one of the best episodes I’ve ever watched on this excellent channel! I love this concept of Jonathan and Curtis together talking for hours.. it’s SO GOOD!! The topic was very interesting, and I am so grateful for having found OTLE. Thank you guys, love you ❤
Thanks so much for checking in, sigrid, to let us know these ideas are making a difference for you! So glad Providence led you here. Thanks for the love, and we send you love and peace, too!
Sigrid I agree
It was eye opening
@@offTheLeftEyeCurtis Dr Rose
For me this was an eye opening vid.
Very well done.
I'm sharing this one with a few of my friends.
One I know needs this.
Curtis and Dr Rose have done it again. The timing of this ‘lesson’ airing is epic. Evil Spirits exist as Devine Spirits exist within all of us. It’s up to us to recognize, accept then replace evil (thoughts, bad intent) with angelic spirits. That’s not easy every day. That’s not easy weekly! Your laughter, wisdom and direction are so powerful. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes, Mary -- Not easy to be on top of RECOGNIZING that this evil hanging around in our minds is something we can shoo away! So glad you find these conversations helpful!
Just wonderful, humour, wisdom, deep true comfort, you transform lives you two. Thank you Curtis and Jonathan and thank you all you beautiful spirits who surround them!
Such a sweet comment, mettebohart! So glad this conversation touched your heart -- and I love that you thought to thank the beautiful spirits around them! Blessings to you!
Thumbs up if you believe in Jesus
Love the Lord God Jesus Christ, Tim!
I like the yellow chair and sofa.
Glad you like it, sweetbean! Cheerful, isn't it?
Just know this is going to be good already!! Thank You Curtis and all.
We are glad you have a sense of curiosity for it KFJ.
Thank YOU for watching!
Thank you Curtis and Johnathan .
I am grateful for your service to humanity
Much peace and Love to all💜☮️
@ Your well wishes are appreciated Julie!
I am definitely reflecting too much! Curtis saw right through me 😂Thanks guys, great show!
Haha, Leah! I think it's a common problem for us humans!
How did you do that little face emoji?
@@themillicow The Curtis emoji? Awesome, right? There are a few others, too! Haha, God bless them, it's such a hilarious idea and I'm happy they added it. I think you can only see these emojis if you are a member.
@themillicow It is cute. And yes, if you become a member of our channel on UA-cam, you can have access to using those personalized emojis! :)
Have been listening to one or both of you guys and reading any one of Swedenborg’s books every day for many years. This presentation is one of the best! A million thanks .
Many years, wow that is great to hear Ken. Thanks for being part of the conversation.
Nice to see you both being so light-hearted and playful 😂
It really adds a richness to the discussion of such deep and serious topics -- right, jusapoet? Glad you appreciate it!
I almost never worry anymore; not seriously. But, I did this last week I woke up with a worry and it was interesting because it came with an image of a man I've never seen before in my life. He wasn't pleasant and I told him he wasn't welcome in my thoughts. Said a prayer, and that was that. Strange, but this discussion makes that episode make perfect sense!!
What a wonderful way to cleanse your thoughts Eleanor!!
My mom always said of worrying about things that might happen, "Don't borrow trouble. "
Yes, Melissa! Such a great little wise saying!
This was excellent. The fact that Satan knows when we are worried and then the worry develops into anxiety, and anxiety develops into health and mental issues is actually easy to spot once you know what to look for. This is why God tells us to rejoice and to show gratitude towards Him. Worry is UNBELIEF--plain and simple! It's also self-centeredness, because our mind is continually on self...and not on how God is going to see you through. You are telling God that you don't believe He can handle your situations. So many Christian easily confess that they are worried and anxious. This says so much about the person. When they say that, I know they have grown little in their spiritual development. Yet they tell everyone and speak just like unbelievers. All this does is bring more of it into your life. I am not like-minded with these individuals. If you are going to grow, you must be self-taught because the church did not make it their mission to teach the flock.
Yes, l.g. -- Believing and trusting in God is the ultimate antidote to worry and anxiety. I think it's part of the human condition to struggle with this, but we can ask God to help our unbelief.
I was hoping I wasn’t about to be freaked out by the subject matter, fortunately Curtis and John were cracking me up. I’ve been listening to some Greek Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant uploads and those guys get scary, evil is real and it’s cool to have a strategy worked out in advance. Good job guys.
So glad your fear came to nothing, Nina! Hope these ideas really prove to be helpful for you. Blessings!
Useful insights -thank you
You're welcome, Travis! So glad these ideas seem valuable and helpful to you!
When I've had a troublesome situation, and I start to go over and over it, repetitively, I write it all down. That way I can let go of it, knowing that I can come back to it if I need to, but it allows me to let go of it for a time. It gives me the time to detach and then when I go back to read it, om not attached to it anymore.
That's a spiritually mature way to discover your motivations, 4. Writing your reflections focus and filter them for you, especially when you do so prayerfully.
Sounds like a great practice, 4theLord. It really helps to get it off the hamster wheel in your mind and outside yourself on paper. Blessings to you!
Yes it is a great way to deal with them, and not be overly attached Tom.
Very enjoyable, insightful. Watched the entire episode.. Thanks for the work creating this. I love the interplay between you both. I do tend to oversalt my food. I'm going to cut back. Thank you all!
Ha! Yes about the salt, Richotto. We are glad you enjoyed the video . There are plenty more to explore!
This video is a huge gift and blessing to all of us and I wish the whole world should watch, like and practice these teachings!
Thank you So much for this wonderful and awesome teachings as this came in at the right time with regards to the wildfire out break in Los Angeles.
Oh God our Father we commit it to your mighty hands and we leave it there with the trust that you are in total control of it all and it will be well. Amen!❤🙏 I love this video, very very helpful and thank you again!! ❤😚❤
Glad to hear how powerful this video was for you, Chinonye. Amen to your prayer, and may we all find more innocence and peace as we learn to trust in our Creator!
@offTheLeftEye AMEN!!❤️🙏
Best podcast yet! these are essential things to know!
So glad you feel the value of these ideas, anniesbells! May they prove truly helpful in your life.
What a delightful discussion. :) Very useful also. Thank you!
So glad, Liz! Thanks for checking in. Blessings to you!

Thank you Profeh.
Wonderful topic and discussion. It's so helpful
Glad to hear that, Carmen! Thanks for joining us!
I've been watching for years, and I just became a member! No matter what, this channel always pulls me back and is there when I need it the most! Also I have read that when you worry about a person it actually sends negative energy to them....and Bob Marley my favorite song, 3 little birds! Oh and Curtis the scanning of the body I understand 100% It's like you're to hyper aware of your body.
We are so glad to have you become a member Lealee! Now we can get to know you better.
I needed to hear that too. I trust the Lord but keep worrying about things…
You have lots of company in that, dan, I'm sure! Here's to growing peace and trust.
Don't worry, be happy!
Sing it, Syncs! And thanks so much for your donation!
Awesome videos you guys! I just want to take this time out to say Shriners is an magnificent hospital🙏🏽💪🏾
Glad the video felt meaningful, malcdawgg. And so glad you've found a place of true caring!
@ always channel changed my life
That is wonderful to hear Malcdawgg.
What I discover, was that I didn’t have faith enough ,that’s why I was always worrying. not no more. ❤
"Let thoughts of faith replace thoughts of fear" -- right, Dolores? What a blessing!
@ yes, freedom 🧚💜
@ It really is. It is the rest of the Sabbath day as well.
This broadcast came in handy, I worry too much, also about my health. But everything is in God's hands, thank you. :)
Yes indeed, Martine! May we turn our fearful thoughts into trust in God!
This was so timely and helpful for me. Thank you.
So glad to hear that, lesaboutin! May the ideas here continue to bless you!
Don't worry, be happy! 🎶🎶
Gives that song new meaning, doesn't it, Sean?
I feel like you were somehow listening in on a conversation I had yesterday and have made this video especially for me 😂 I have been tormented by this for years and years. I can’t see a way out as it has such a firm grasp on me. It has worsened with time and I barely sleep now. I lost confidence in God recently - I have had decades and decades of bad luck and can’t, at this stage, work out what ‘good’ is hidden in His relentless challenges. You’d think eventually he would roll me a couple of sixes. I think this lack of confidence has allowed the demons to thrive even more than they used to.
Curtis - can you do more on this? I found this really fascinating, everything you said resonated with me and my experience.
Posie that sounds really, really hard. I am sorry that your life has had a long string of struggles. That is cool that you feel like the video was created for you! God can pull that kind of things off, in my experience. I pray that your confidence in God can come back stronger than ever.
This is not Curtis, Posie but rather a team member. Here is another video about anxiety in minute 28. ua-cam.com/users/liveA-4ZUelTlvI
Our hearts go out to you for what sounds like a very long rough patch, posiefluff. We pray for a growing ability to recognize those disturbing thoughts and throw them out with a resounding "Get out of here!!!" And for the beginnings of trust in Divine leading. I hear you that God feels absent. May you begin to believe He cares.

During the "pandemic," my son fell victim to deep spiritual worrying and paranoid thinking.
I refuse to follow this path, I don't worry about what I can't change.
I also don't watch any news media or follow any organised religion.
I know the world and myself are not perfect. But I still look for peace and beauty, and I always find it.
I always find wisdom in this channel.
Don't worry because none of us are getting off this planet alive anyway 😂.
There is something like a 40% increase in the death rate in Western countries, which is higher than the increase in WW1 & 2 combined.
Bless you for choosing peace of mind, GoodDogBonny. Looking for beauty and love is a spiritual pursuit -- and I'm with you: it's there to be found!
Glad you find some wisdom here, as we all "walk eachother home...."
That is a sobering statistic, Richard. I am not sure what you mean by death rate. Suicide? Murder? Natural causes?
@ An increase in the number of people dying year on year. WW1 was pretty bad, I know from backpacking people still visit the cemeteries in France.
An exert from "The Hill":
>>>‘Huge, huge numbers:’ insurance group sees death rates up 40 percent over pre-pandemic levels
“Death rates are up 40 percent over what they were pre-pandemic,” said Davison of OneAmerica’s group life policy holders.
To illustrate just how severe the current death rate is, Davison said a 1 in 200-year catastrophe would likely only cause a 10 percent increase over pre-pandemic deaths.
Even more alarming is where those death rates are hitting, with Davison saying it’s primarily among working aged people between the ages of 18 and 64 who are covered by OneAmerica’s group life policies. The insurance company says that’s similar to what the rest of the group life industry is seeing and is consistent with CDC data.
@richardjy89 Yes, I'm aware of all this. I've endured abuse for killing granny, but I don't like preaching to people. This forum is about sharing positivity.
“How do you get in the car with the Lord” That’s a great book title and maybe steps to understand how Swedenborg, through his divine interaction with the spiritual world, teaches us to get in that car and let the Lord drive.
Jesus Said..Avoid Pride..Lust..Greed..Anger and Worry. These are the stressors. God Gives us commandments for OUR GOOD. Living them helps us live in Peace..the healthiest and happiest state for our mind..soul..body. The Father knows what we need before we even ask..Have Faith! In what Jesus Said and God Does 😊❤
You express it very well Kathleen. The commandments are fo rour longterm happiness, not to add burdens to our backs. Living a good life is genuine freedom.
I love the dialogue that you two are creating. I was introduced to Dr Swenborg through A Course In Miracles. So I am very grateful to have found your channel.
Well consider yourself warmly welcomed, Yvonne! Very glad to know that you are finding value in the conversations here. We often get mentions of ACIM in these comments -- love it when different philosophies share similar qualities!
Thanks for this useful information! The fall-back trust exercise example fell flat with me cuz I'm one of the many people who was actually dropped! I have already used the survey suggestion (be aware of what you're worrying about, then see how things actually play out) & the "you don't know what you need" (i.e. when nonsense pops ups, try to accept that God knows what it's for). Thanks as always, M
Yikes, Mary! That must have been a terrible moment!
So glad you've been able to use some of the suggestions -- hope they prove helpful!
Praise to God in prayer helps me to sense Gods love and then it helps me trust in His will because He takes my fears away.
Such a blessing, Carmen!
Very powerful ❤
Agreed! I'm glad this felt helpful!
Thank You
You're very welcome, Denise!
Thanks! This one is great! A lot to chomp on.
LOVE!❤❤❤
So glad, tauruslover!
This is maybe the best episode EVER🤩🙌 And I’ve seen most of them💕
Thanks so much for the enthusiastic thumbs-up, Heidi! So glad it felt so right-on and meaningful for you!
I remember this saying from when I was younger, The first two letters in God is GO and the first three letters in Satan is SAT. Goes with what your saying here about being busy and being useful. 😊
That is a terrific thing to remember!!! Thank you Sherry! GO vs SAT!
I have literally been in a5 year desert of numerous diagnosis of mental health struggles. I was literally on the edge of this entangled mess from unhealed childhood traumas. I couldn’t see what God was trying to do in the midst and I was even blaming Him for what I was going through. When they say you literally have to come to the end of yourself, it’s true. BUT GOD. No matter what, accept the healing. The process is rough, but his yoke is easy and His burden light. Deliverance from this tormenting demons is what Jesus died for. TRUST HIM. Thank you both for this discussion. It is vital to have.
Blessings to you on this very challenging journey, Tina. Yes, God is near and pulling you to health and happiness. So glad you can feel the easy yoke and light burden, deep underneath the painful process. We're so glad to know this discussion feels truly helpful for you. We send prayers for peace and strength and healing. God bless you!
Thanks!
You're welcome, Alberad!
So so good
So happy if it feels helpful, katie!
Also, you two are so funny! It's almost like being at a party!
Eleanor that is fun to hear!
Nice episode
Glad it felt valuable for you, Gabriel!
Worrying equals lack of faith
A concise way to put it, Charles.
Trying to “figure something out” feels like a trap - God knows ALL things - He always tells me what I need to know -- no matter what the media cares to share (or not). I just need to remember that!!
Great reminder, karieberry! "Figuring it out" is the booby prize, says a friend of mine. Asking the Lord to let us know what we need to know, and moving forward as best we can, might be more fruitful.
Point #3 is just exactly what has happened to people caught in conspiracy theories. Encouraging them out of that way of thinking is almost impossible. They live in such fear!
It is very sad when fear runs the show, Hope-Lenders.
❤
I like your examples but I'm struggling with some of my anxieties and worries, especially around my children. I believe my child was hurt by someone, and I can't help but worry and want revenge, it's hard to consolidate and find trust in god after knowing what can and has happened, especially to innocent children.
That is perhaps the hardest scenario to deal with, Blackdragon. God is not the one who hurts children. He allows human freedom, and people sometimes choose terrible things. God is working at all times to protect the spirit/soul of the child and of all of us. Perhaps you can come up with some action to take to address the issue, without letting the feeling of revenge just eat you alive. Asking God to help you deal with these feelings, to take them away and help you move forward in a productive way, is a practice that some people find helpful. Blessings to you and your children.
People make mountains out of molehills. Then they cause actual trouble. So what do you think is a healthy level of concern? And are things like "Trust in the Lord with all your heart" or "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself" really meant to make you not live in reality? "Don't worry, nothing bad will ever happen." I thought that the point of it was kinda the opposite, so that you don't believe in false convictions and self-fulfilling prophecies, therefore preventing you from becoming self-righteous because of those things. You know, because self-righteous people don't live in reality. That's why they make mountains out of molehills, and cause actual trouble.
Like so many issues of being human, Purnu, it's a complex question! Swedenborg (on whose writings this channel is based) emphasized that we need to take responsibility for our lives, and not just stand there with our hands hanging down, but in the long run, we can't control everything. So believing that some kind of Benevolent Force is working toward our highest good -- no matter what the current situation looks like -- can be a comfort.
My mind is different so oftenl 2:46
I hear you, Betty!
A good example of the 3rd trap SE3626. It is like Jesus vs the Pharisees. A Pharisee might think: "What? how can all I've been studying and believing be wrong? My lifetime of works and devotions are wrong?" Yet there was one, Nicodemus who saw and acknowledged Jesus. Anything in this world can be an 'End Trap'. Religious beliefs, spiritual knowledge, academics, careers, family and etc. A true man servant to God do not have his own mind or thought, or seperated from God's thought. He possess not his own self but the self of God. A true humble and submitted servant can be turned and manipulated as God wishes. But a self centered person cannot. He cannot unwind, unlearn, abandon his own ego and things he pride himself in and with.
HAving the innocence to follow God is a wonderful thing, hotspringstone.
@@offTheLeftEye Absolutely!
There are 3 distinct processes that go on in the brain (the home of thoughts). Thoughts are not created by the brain they are received in the brain that is then observed by? The answer to that will become apparent to everyone eventually. The pointing here is that the observers (you and I) are not the creator of thoughts, and likewise remembering is not something you do. You may believe you do, but there is no evidence known to you or anyone else how we do anything. We know that the brain is connected to the body and its actions, but there is no explanation of how you run the show, just an assumption. Effectively, we believe we are all doing something (in control) that no one knows how they do it. The illusion has been unravelled ❤️🙏Ramanamma Who? Author and 21st-century confirmist
Yes, RW, we don't really understand how it all works. God must be working in/through us....
@offTheLeftEye I appreciate that I am privileged to have a map as it is of the mind/body machine. The brain receives quantum data, and this comprises imagination, creativity, and guesswork. The other process that appears to be going on is data, which runs the body and includes heart, breathing and aches and pains, etc. These are explained to us personally by God in the form of us or ourselves. The voice we use outwardly and inwardly is God's voice. It is you he is talking to, but you think it you talking to you. These 3 activities in the brain cover everything that we think of as human. It is difficult to understand, but humans are not even a sentient being. All humanity is a false identity. We are souls from heaven, not humans going to heaven because we've been good. Once you really know this, it is game over. But it is the end for everyone so at this time we are woken but don't leave. I cross my fingers every day and hope to die. It is the truest mantra a soul can have. Love and wisdom to you all and your families. Ramanamma Who?
I’ve watched about 20 of these videos and I’ve been praying for discernment about it because there is so much focus, not on God, but the truths of swedenborg. I felt drawn to read “The Great Divorce” by CS Lewis. I got the end of the book where it’s talking about the importance of walking by faith and when he wakes up from this dream not touting it as absolute truth-that God is not pleased with Swedenborg. It immediately opened my eyes. You guys should be quoting the Bible. Not Swedenborg. Jesus is the way, the truth, the light, no one comes to the Father except through Him.
Hello, Liz! I'm so glad that you turn to God in your search for discernment and clarity. Actually, every video of ours is very focused on God, because that was Swedenborg's sole focus, but since the way we (and he) speaks are different than traditional Christianity, I can understand why it doesn't seem that way all the time. Just as people will cite Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, etc, but know that the focus is the Lord, we cite Swedenborg and yet consider the source and focus to be the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't know how far you got into this video, but the end result is all about following Jesus's instructions to not worry, and to instead put our trust in God in order to be protected from worry.
I LOVE C.S. Lewis's books! Regarding "The Great Divorce", I (Karin) don't have a copy on hand, but from my memory of reading the book years ago I believe it is not God that isn't pleased with Swedenborg, but rather C.S. Lewis the author who seemed to be irritated with Swedenborgians that he knew. His story "The Great Divorce" is actually very, very aligned with what Swedenborg wrote about the choices we make about good and evil, and the results of those choices in the afterlife. And "The Screwtape Letters" are very aligned with what Swedenborg learned and witnessed about the tactics of evil spirits.
Swedenborg knew from direct experience, and extensive Bible study, that Jesus is the one God of heaven and earth. In his writings he mostly calls Him "the Lord", so sometimes people think he doesn't talk about Jesus enough. Anyway, I just want to clarify where we're coming from, but I absolutely hope that you follow your heart and conscience in seeking God, and that you don't follow this channel unless it seems to you to be aligned with your heart's beliefs. God bless!
Everything Emanuel ever did and experienced was because of Jesus. When he asked Him if he could add 'servant of Jesus Christ' behind his name on the title page of his books Christ not only gave permission but commanded that he do that. Everything he related to us from the spiritual worlds was because Jesus wanted that to happen.
Through the innocent blood of Jeshua Yahoshua Sri Issa Emmanuel Anointed Logos Christ Jeshua Satan has no power Our Heavenly Father Power Over All He is All Love Wisdom and Power
All Love, Wisdom, and Power. May it bless us all, Carmen!
❤43👽💚💥🧠👁🫀💫💯💢
Thanks so much, quincy, for that amazing string of emojis! Glad this seems to have been on target for you!
Curtis, please, Do you have any ideas how to stop being spiritually sexually attacked?
Is this something you experience during the night? The only thing I can think to offer is to look at a section in an episode we did a few years back about dreams. Starting at about 33 minutes in, Curtis reads a quote that then leads into a discussion about sleep paralysis, which can sometimes include the sense of being sexually molested by a spirit. I hope this can help! ua-cam.com/video/9bfbNf3OpmU/v-deo.html
@ not just at night. Will take a look Thank you
I do hope you can find some relief from the attacks, The1SpiritofLife. It sounds truly painful.
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you. It’s been years. There wasn’t much help in it since I am already awake. Jesus is more cause than help as he forced me in unity on the cross. I can tell you that cross is dangerous because I heap your sins back on you and also make you pay for the attack! I am the one who convicts and disciplines. Having never agreed to make this world
Or any other nor to ever be given away, I can tell you I have no graciousness about it. Regarding John 1:1,
I was there but not willingly, nor with or as. They are users and hypocrites
You guys have to do podcast on the effects of evil spirits on masturbation & pornography
I'll put that in the suggestion box, spiritlifeunmached. No guarantees on any requests, but I'll register your "vote" for this.
The guest was great however, the interviewer/host is sooo rrude interrupting the guest all the time. 3int subscribe because it was so aggravating
We honor everyone's freedom to tune in or not, lmcg. These two are old friends having more of a conversation than one interviewing the other, and they are quite used to the dynamic between them. But do take care of yourself!
Yes, I was about to comment on that vein. Thank you for prompting me,
I totally relate to Swedenborg. It must be because so many of his spiritual gifts were opened. Then he couldn’t shut it down. It was blaringly obvious. I know because the same thing is & has been happening to me since my kundalini rising &! Second sight opening. I thought I was alone, but thrilled Swedenborg had exposed this in his journal. No coincidence your podcast just popped up so timely.
No coincidence, ketherwhale! Glad to know your life experience feels affirmed by Swedenborg's experiences!
Wait a minute... If Evil spirits know they are trapping a person into falsity and delusions then doesn't that mean they actually know what truth is?
Great question, immortalblue. Maybe so! Not sure! I'd love to hear what others say!
Hi, this is Karin now! Hmm... It seems to me that mostly it's more like they love to keep our thoughts in states of mind that perpetuate anxiety. So, I doubt whether evil spirits are reflecting on whether the thoughts are true or false, but rather just rushing in to generate anxiety when the opportunity arises, and trying to keep that train going! And it's just a fact that thoughts that perpetuate anxiety are false. What do you think?
@@offTheLeftEye that could definitely be how it starts. With the trapping alone. But wouldn't they notice a pattern after a while. After many times. That time and time again our false fears are getting the best of us?
@ Yes I think the pattern part makes sense. I know I can get stuck in old lines that have lost any meaning, yet they are on repeat.
Seriously.We're comparing life's the flowers in the ground. It's easy to say.Don't worry when you're GOD IN flesh. If I was jesus christ too I wouldn't worry. But jesus christ doesn't have the powers that a normal person had. Jesus christ was god in flesh, so there were no worries for him. Unfortunately , I am a human being that is not God in flesh. Yes, there worries for me.CauseI can't manifest anything with thought like jesus christ could. Of course, God The creator of the atom could say yeah, don't worry about it because he's God. Listen, i'm not trying to be negative, nancy here but let's understand the specifics the creator of all could tell me, don't worry if I was the creator of all until I become the creator of all i'm worrying
I think he was very worried when he sweated blood in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Jesus DID go through intense suffering, DominicanMarine, so I'm not sure he experienced having no worries, even if he knew what the long term goal was. Worrying does seem to be part of the human condition, but it's something we can work on: trying to develop true trust in the Divine!
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." He wants us to trust Him, Sweetbean.
I absolutely 💯 agree with you. They say Jesus suffered. How does God in Flesh suffer. Jesus showed pain, but he was not on our level of consciousness. Do you honestly presume a man who could walk on water.It feels pain like the rest of us😂😂😂😂 really?? Imagine when you play VR, that's how Jesus was . Swedenborg consistently maintained that the infinite, indivisible power and life within all creation is God. In his theology, he asserts the absolute unity of God in both essence (essentia) and being. So he never lost his divinity even when he turned on Jesus Mode
@ Jesus felt deeper and more intense suffering than we do because His love is greater. "He was despised, rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Isaiah.
Do you people actually believe in Jesus with your hearts and minds?
Yes, we sure do! We consider the Lord Jesus Christ to the be the One God of heaven and earth. And that's what Emanuel Swedenborg believed very strongly. The conclusion of this podcast discussion focused on Swedenborg's declaration that the way for gather protection against spirits that bring intrusive thoughts is through turning to the Lord, and following his teaching to refrain from worry.
@@offTheLeftEye Good to hear. All things of Heaven and Creation come from the King of the Universe, the Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.
@@offTheLeftEye When the black hole flashes, don't lose hope and don't panic.
Why don’t you do something more productive and educate people what spirits are in how they come about as intelligent energy… the universe is mental! yes that means every inch of energy. We see has a certain element of intelligence to it. And when these elements congregate together because like attracts like they will then manifest into a spirit and attach themselves to an individual of the same vibrational frequency. Ether and ether and what we breathe and breathe out they are inside and outside.. get to the basics boys
Please feel free to explain all that on your own channel, Theophanes. Our mission here is to share the ideas in Swedenborg's works, so that limits what we talk about and how, sometimes. We're not discussing ALL the ways to see spiritual and psychological reality, just Swedenborg's perspective.
