I listen to this before bed or even if I’m woken up by a bad dream in the middle of the night. I really like these videos a lot because I find them relaxing. Thank you Curtis and OTLE team!
You're welcome, Astara! We have had many people tell us that they use our videos as a sleeping aid.... Haha! Sounds funny up front, but the fact that people feel safe enough to fall asleep to our shows really is the sweetest affirmation.
So glad you like what you're seeing, Alex! We have found the ideas we're sharing to be life-changing and supportive in doing life in this world, headed for the next. Enjoy exploring our channel, and welcome!
Without God we are powerless against evil, but with God the roles change and evil becomes powerless on us, as Jesus gave power to his disciples to cast out demons and to pick up snakes with their hands
True Chrisianity 68: It seems that if one has come to the point of evolution in the understanding and experience that all Life , Light, Love, Wisdom originates with the LORD (though we had at some point thought that we are the "doer") suffices to "allow "the Lord to win every battle with evil with the minimum of self suffering,
Sorry, but “He, he, HE… I’m feeling PTSD.” This is why I abandoned Christianity back in the late 1960s (when I was turning 13) because God is all pervasive, All That Is, not a “big daddy.” Honestly, I heard HE about 50 times and finally had to turn off this video. I’ve been comforted by many OTLE vids, but in reflecting overnight, the earliest videos I watched were about angels, the afterlife, even love of the Lord was helping me, but now I’m back in that feeling of frustration that so many insist on discussing God as a human. WHY? What exactly does Swedenborg say about this? Thanks... sorry but honestly this triggered me.
I know this sounds negative, but for me everything is riding on this. Of course God is "close", actually within us, surrounding us... we are at Unity with All That Is. We can speak of our awareness of Divine Presence, but to speak of God like another Big Daddy that wants to rule us seems in total opposition to most of the ES messages of I've heard and read. Speaking of "what HE wants" is like the bad translations and why Christ appeared to ES and chose him (ES) to send the correct message not the corruption of the King's bible. Right?
@@ZiaLinkZen , it is all about relationship, not domination. One thing UA-cam creators talk about is establishing a relationship with your audience, and key to that is making things personal - putting yourself in the thumbnails, etc. From my end, it feels like self promotion, but from an audience perspective, it’s putting a face to the channel. Swedenborg talks about God in personal terms (as does the Bible), because that personal level is the way we most easily begin interacting with spiritual principles. Same is true of angels, actually. Those accounts of angels were your “way in”. At least to start with, we can’t have a relationship with “The universe”.

Im always looking for ways to get closer to God.
A worthy pursuit!
