Curtis brings such peace to these videos. It feels like sitting in a warm field on a spring day. Very refreshing. I love these videos and I’m so happy you folks take such care to make them!
We are all mirroring reflections of each other ♀️ Love and Light frozen into this third dimensional form of reality. When one unthaws its hearts you can recognize that we are all One 🙏🏻❤️
Curtis is the kind heart of swedenborg society, his brothers and sisters, the lightfull minds, and some the light body... They share their time and energy with us, we are truly blessed.😇 And not to forget curtis great dad jokes 😜🤣
We are blessed to have this whole community of people looking for more understanding and more love together, Massimo. Thanks for being part of it! And yes -- dad jokes for the win! :)
The episodes of the series "Of the Left Eye" get better with time, like aging wine. Thank you all and especially you Curtis, this episode was wonderful!
Well done Curtis, Chara and team!!! So fun to think of the big "internet in the sky" where angels are connected in their thoughts through their auras - so magical and effortless; and a completely honest world of mutual love, respect and care - and never ever lonely again!! Talk about heavenly - woohoo!!! Love that book - Heaven and Hell - such a privilege to look ahead and look into heavenly life!!! Blessings to all always!!❤
Yes, Mary -- Sounds heavenly for sure! I have often wondered about the correspondence of the internet with the spiritual world. Swedenborg says everything in this world has a spiritual causation! Love and blessings to you, Mary!
The more I watch you the more you validate what I saw in my dream with my daughter. She is in a community that is very protective of her. I arrived there and was welcomed in. The woman who welcomed me announced that I was there and people came out to greet me. I felt more like I was being sized up by the older community members before I was taken to my daughter. That alone gave me peace knowing that my daughter was being so well protected and loved by the others living in that community. I had thought it odd that there was a small community, but it makes sense now. It was a very happy, loving, protective aura about the entire place. Thanks Curtis.
What a blessing for you to have had that experience, T Loof! Chara here, and I can only imagine the strength of feeling in a father to want his daughter safe and well and protected. So glad you got some comfort knowing that she IS!
@@offTheLeftEye I am her mother. Her father, he only sees people as $. He never treated us right and was always gone. Even his father said I was a married single mother and my children were wonderful only because of me. Sorry if this sounds harsh, sore subject for me. ❤️
Heaven's growing every day, if that's what you mean, Michael. Although, in a place apart from time and space, that's hard to imagine for us earthlings. Growing in love and connection and usefulness, I guess!
Thank you for this session. Something about this discussion brought to my mind that we already have the opportunity to be in communication with God at all times. We practice this activity constantly. It’s what we call prayer. We’re tuned into a dialogue between God and ourselves. God’s love and truth shower us as long as we tune in. In that way, what we receive we extend to those around us who are open to receiving what has been communicated to us. Does this make any sense to you?
Indeed it does, Vera! Swedenborg says that God is flowing into each one of us at all times, and if we open up to that, we can let it flow through to others. Our lives can be a living prayer!
Yes, I can feel people's aura or vibration from childhood but especially now because of the practice of being alone in jungles just with nature. But as you said in a recent talk, or was it a short, that people use words here and can manipulate and confuse and give double meanings' that cause us to not stay with these subtle feelings that are sometimes warning us. Stay with ESP
@@offTheLeftEye Yes, and a cunning person knows how to detach us from our innate ESP and make us feel bad for having such (truthful) intuitions about them. What a tenacious testing ground this is...
This connection, as I understand it 🙏 is due to the fact that (and all 3 doctrines ) provide the evidence for this is because God (as I call it) is all that exists, God is existence and nothing can exist that is not god. But God has achieved the impossible (with heaven and earth) and has created a sense of separation, which from my earthly perspective is very real. I do feel separated from God, and yet I can not possibly be. When you fully grasp this, then God can give you the ability to love all souls equally. I would stress that God's purpose in this creation is to create an individual and unique perspective of this world and us as a consciousness (soul) having a human experience doing things that a soul can't do like dying we are eternal. God's LAW ❤️🙏RW
This resonates, RW. Swedenborg talks about how Divine Love and Wisdom (i.e., God) is the only reality, and that we are given the APPEARANCE of having a self, but really our life is God's life. As a mere earthly human, it's hard for me (Chara) to parse it all, but I'll just keep feeling like my own person and know that God is behind it all, in it all, around it all, and IS it all!
What Curtis says about the angels living family by family at 16:20, I think Swedenborg is referring to the heaven made of the most ancient church. Elsewhere Swedenborg mentions that they still to this day live the same way, family by family etc..
I have a question for the OTLE staff. Most homeless people have structured their lives around drug use; facilitation of intoxication is their main priority, to the detriment of all else. Did Swedenborg address what happens to such people in the afterlife? Drunks, for example--- are they sequestered to a little containment zone in Hell where they can drink all day long? Is it even possible for spirits to achieve inebriation? Or do they become malevolent entities who attach themselves to drunks/junkies in the physical world, encouraging their addictions in order to experience it vicariously?
People's external situations in this world can never tell us what their situation will be like in the afterlife. People who have become addicted to substances in this world might have gotten there due to a harmful kind of self-centeredness, OR, it may have happened through despair, heredity, tough circumstances and lack of support. Both kinds may look the same to us on the outside, but look completely different from a spiritual point of view. The latter can be helped and healed in the afterlife. There is one description Swedenborg wrote of angels helping people who had arrived in the afterlife with very little spiritual life in them, because they had gotten caught up in low-level worldly addictive behavior. They were almost unconscious spiritually, but the angels worked intently to pump loving life into them, and were able to gradually lead them into a state where these people could learn and spiritually grow. On the other hand, if someone continues to pursue addictive behavior due to malevolence toward others, they do end up as negative spirits who try to influence others into similar behavior. We cannot judge from our earthly perspective, but God sees the whole background, heart, opportunities, and intentions, and leads each person in whatever way they are willing to be led when they have the capability to do so.
Thank you for this video, I look forward to them every week. What do you think happens to the angels that work outside of the communities... do they feel out of sorts to be away? Our guardian angels for example or the angels that support us here on earth, aren't they with us 24-7? Just a thought.
I think it says somewhere that angels' support of people on earth is one of the main jobs, Bee. I think of it as their "day job," and then they return to their home for recreation and rest.

Hi russell -- See your other post for finding a group. As for books, the newer translations of the New Century Edition are still in the works. There are some titles available in hardback (large purple books), some only in paperback at this point, and some as yet unpublished. For a complete hardback set, I believe you can still get the Redesigned Standard Edition - green covers, older translations.

You'll find a list of this theological works there, too, and the opportunity for free downloads. Hope you can find what you're looking for!
As my concerns for the Christian Church grow, I wonder where we can find solutions. One thought is a Church of interaction, - an organization where our first thought is how we interact with God and how we interact with each other. This video has inspired me in this thought process. thank you
A church of interactions is a lovely way to express it. Yes, God wants a relationship with us, and wants us to have healthy relationships with each other, Lane.
@@offTheLeftEye Lol. Actually I imagine something like earth cities in heaven? Then those guys would be in their own cities and me in mine..... Sounds more realistic. Lol.
Here‘s a strange question: I was watching many OTLE-Videos over the last days, particularly „Will life be different when you die?“. In those videos it was said, that the jobs we have in heaven are to an infinite extent more, and more useful than here on earth BUT I would like to know how it is with transportation because I‘ve kind of build up a passion for 🚂 and ✈️ and would like to know what this could turn into in the afterlife 😅. (Or maybe it‘s just like I’m going to, like…talk with others who share the same passion…) What do you or what does Swedenborg think? I mean, I know, in the afterlife people do hobbies and stuff, I watched your clip „Do our hobbies and interests follow us into the afterlife?“ but I can‘t imagine what being fascinated of a box of steel driving over splints of steel could turn into something spiritual in heaven…🙃 PS: That‘s really something different than what we talked about before…😅
Don't really know the answer, I'm afraid, Silbersittich. Fun to wonder about, though! If Swedenborg (in the 1700s) saw carriages in the other world, would he see cars today? Planes, trains, and automobiles? He learned that everything in the physical world has a spiritual causation in the spiritual world... Don't know exactly what that implies about technology, but I feel like in one way or another your passion for those topics will find a way to express itself!
@@offTheLeftEye Yeah, you said that in "How to get a home in heaven", right? "In the Afterlife, the houses are sometimes pretty modern, because heaven progresses just like we progress here on the physical world." But still, were not forced to live in a very modern house if were not feeling good with that situation. SO, -IF- there's stuff like transportations in the afterlife if we love horses we would travel by horseback and if we know there are trains, old locomotives, and stuff, and we like to travel by that, we would do it. ...This interpretation is of course only valid if there is this kinda stuff, which Ziewe says there is. Actually, he talks about trains all the time...just kidding.😂 But Swedenborg also says, there's everything in Heaven which exists here on earth so, why not trains?🙃 Nice weekend!😉
@@silbi_der4te_Gaming Absolutely, why not trains! There will be wonders we have not even imagined as well. Not fewer than on earth, but many more. And yes there will be horses. Swedenborg tells a story about a couple arriving in a horse drawn carriage.
Those are some awesome ideas. At the same time, the collective minds? That sort of reminds me of the Borg from Star Trek. 🤔 Techno zombies that assimilate every mind into a collective cyberspace. I have my fingers crossed that God isn't going to turn us into villainous zombies in the afterlife. 😜😆😊
Interesting question, RD! And I don't know the answer! Swedenborg talks in terms of living in community where we will enjoy being of useful service to others and contributing to the well-being of all. Perhaps there's a way for introverts and "living-in-their-own-world" people to contribute, too!
I was just meditating and the Name of GOD Yod Hey Vav Hey and I saw it. The two Hey’s look like eyes with the Vav as the nose in the middle. And off the left eye is the Yod. Swedenborg ever write about this? Is this what your title talks about? Thanks
Interesting, p marlen! Swedenborg certainly wrote about the Hebrew language, and how each letter and marking has significance. The name of our channel, though, is explained in this short video: "What Does 'Off the Left Eye' Mean?" -- ruclips.net/video/u4grRbDQRxs/видео.html Blessings to you!
Swedenborg doesn't use that term, Massimo, but he does talk about "associate spirits" of both the good and bad kind, that keep us in spiritual equilibrium -- the good ones doing what they can to protect us or steer us away from being too influenced by the "bad" ones. But here's a short clip called "How to Know if Your Guardian Angel is Talking to You" -- ruclips.net/video/7RbFpP3T-ig/видео.html And at 15:18 in this video, Curtis talks a bit about those spirits with us: ruclips.net/video/7RbFpP3T-ig/видео.html

@@offTheLeftEye they sure are as they populate around us in a desperate attempt to get our attention. Thank you for opening that door for me and for helping me understand the importance of correspondences. I can now see deeper and more profoundly. We come from the ashes into the fire 🔥 Ty
@@FAPPJAPPDAPP You are a long time reader/listener but here is is a video on correspondences in case you missed it. ruclips.net/video/0z8CxaQUqzM/видео.html
We happen to have done a show on that topic, Mary. Here it is: "What Will You Remember in the Afterlife?" ruclips.net/video/ChnFC9N0jfc/видео.html In a nutshell, Swedenborg says our minds retain every single detail of our thoughts/feelings/deeds, but most of it goes quiescent unless there is some use for recalling it. But we'll be healed of the physically-based dementia, etc.
Try watching this short clip, nicholas, and see if it gets at your question: "What's the Point of Having a Physical Body?" -- ruclips.net/video/LXj8Q2VuPfs/видео.html
Does Swedenborg have any information about what angels may or may not look like? About 15 years ago I woke up to a bright fluorescent yellow green light. It was so bright it woke me because I could see it through my eyelids. I opened my eyes and I saw 3 human like figures next to my bed. No facial markings just light from each figure which lit up the room. One was at the foot of my bed, one next to my bed and one that seemed to had been leaning over me. What was surprising is when I opened my eyes the figure over me stood back as if surprised I could see it, as the other figures stood back. It was only seconds until I closed my eyes and grabbed my husband and said What the heck was that! Over the years I have been searching for a answer. Any idea where I could look?
Annelie that sure sounds like angels. Here is a playlist of videos about Heaven and the angels who dwell there. studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSngp4_pz7VaYnlWzl2-tEcS/edit There is a book on our website, swedenborg.com called Heaven and Hell that you can download for free. You will find answers there about angels. What an amazing experience it was!
@@offTheLeftEye like, another self that underwent a completely different life from my own or had a different history or present than my own. You know, what they portray in some comics like in the council of reeds or something
@@yahiawaleed828 I am still not quite following. Do you mean a partner, like a twin flame? Here is a video about that. ruclips.net/video/LW0PudFWrfg/видео.html
Thanks for clarifying, russell. There are various Swedenborgian organizations around the world, and the groups within those organizations have varying "flavors." If you go here -- newchurch.org/contact/locations/ -- you'll find a listing for Kansas City, MO. Or you can go here -- swedenborg.org/community/find-a-group-congregation/ -- and type in your location and see what's nearby. Also, we have a newly launched "Community Membership" Platform, where we have discussions, book groups, etc. as an online option! You can click the tab for that at swedenborg.com.
Well, Brian, I'm not sure! I think the set-up there doesn't involve NEEDING a long break from the day-to-day slog of a work week, for instance. But it sounds like it is a world of indescribably beauty, and I can imagine a desire to explore! Swedenborg does talk about the importance of recreation. And I see a passage that talks about spirits traveling around looking for a certain kind of heaven. And another passage about some spirits whose passion is learning from first-hand experience, and they are allowed to travel all around to different places in the spiritual world. The basic laws of heaven (like the law of gravity here) are about love and usefulness, so if it taps into those things in one way or another, I imagine that vacations could be phenomenal "up there"!
The extra powers Angels do have is that they can turn themselves as humans but transform as humans they choose beautiful faces and personalities. QUR'AN does speak of Angels interacting Prophets alike Abraham, Lut, Moses , Jesus And especially to Pious Mary and Muhammad s a.w.w. QUR'AN speaks that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w. seen Angel Jibreel in his original body and face only twice during life span of 63 years. This creation of God Almighty lives in other dimension where we can't see them but definitely we sometimes feel presence of invisibles around us. Angels and Jinns can come to our dimension to interact with us but with out earthly bodies we cannot interact them to their dimension. God knows better who created everything in a great detail and intellect .🙏🙏🙏
I understand all these things can't be proved scientifically. Where science ends God's lines starts from there . I don't mind you saying that I'm deceiving,,, people need a faith . 80% of Glorious Qur'an proved scientifically correct so far 20% is off from our eyes and that is our belief ,!!!!
Curtis I'm saying that Angels help and can meet us but only in human form only . They can transform their invisible bodies to beautiful and Good looking humans. For example Angel Jibreel mostly visit prophet Muhammad s a.w.w. in the form of a companion of Prophet and he was one of the most beautiful person in MAKKAH during that time.
We love the Bible, too, Carol, and we share here the ideas written down by a devout Bible study-er who claims to have been called by Jesus Christ to see into the spiritual world and learn about angels and the afterlife. We honor your spiritual path and wish you a channel that perhaps is a better fit for you. Blessings to you.

PS: That‘s really something different than what we talked about before…😅
Don't really know the answer, I'm afraid, Silbersittich. Fun to wonder about, though! If Swedenborg (in the 1700s) saw carriages in the other world, would he see cars today? Planes, trains, and automobiles? He learned that everything in the physical world has a spiritual causation in the spiritual world... Don't know exactly what that implies about technology, but I feel like in one way or another your passion for those topics will find a way to express itself!
@@offTheLeftEye Yeah, you said that in "How to get a home in heaven", right? "In the Afterlife, the houses are sometimes pretty modern, because heaven progresses just like we progress here on the physical world." But still, were not forced to live in a very modern house if were not feeling good with that situation.
SO, -IF- there's stuff like transportations in the afterlife if we love horses we would travel by horseback and if we know there are trains, old locomotives, and stuff, and we like to travel by that, we would do it.
...This interpretation is of course only valid if there is this kinda stuff, which Ziewe says there is. Actually, he talks about trains all the time...just kidding.😂
But Swedenborg also says, there's everything in Heaven which exists here on earth so, why not trains?🙃
Nice weekend!😉
@@silbi_der4te_Gaming Absolutely, why not trains! There will be wonders we have not even imagined as well. Not fewer than on earth, but many more. And yes there will be horses. Swedenborg tells a story about a couple arriving in a horse drawn carriage.
Those are some awesome ideas.
At the same time, the collective minds? That sort of reminds me of the Borg from Star Trek. 🤔 Techno zombies that assimilate every mind into a collective cyberspace.
I have my fingers crossed that God isn't going to turn us into villainous zombies in the afterlife. 😜😆😊
My personal opinion is that you don't have to worry about that, J L! Perhaps just like-minded (in a good way) rather than collective minds?
This might be an odd question but is there a community of haven for people who like to live to live in a own world
Interesting question, RD! And I don't know the answer! Swedenborg talks in terms of living in community where we will enjoy being of useful service to others and contributing to the well-being of all. Perhaps there's a way for introverts and "living-in-their-own-world" people to contribute, too!
@@offTheLeftEye is there a community for poeple who befer compney of anmiles
Animals will be a part of your heaven Rainbow, I am guessing.
Also, at about 15:15 in this video, Curtis talks about people living "alone, house by house..." -- watch that part again, maybe.
🕊❤️🕊
Love and peace to you, too, Peter!
I was just meditating and the Name of GOD Yod Hey Vav Hey and I saw it. The two Hey’s look like eyes with the Vav as the nose in the middle. And off the left eye is the Yod. Swedenborg ever write about this? Is this what your title talks about? Thanks
Interesting, p marlen! Swedenborg certainly wrote about the Hebrew language, and how each letter and marking has significance. The name of our channel, though, is explained in this short video:
"What Does 'Off the Left Eye' Mean?" -- ruclips.net/video/u4grRbDQRxs/видео.html
Blessings to you!
Question, is their info about guardian angels?
Swedenborg doesn't use that term, Massimo, but he does talk about "associate spirits" of both the good and bad kind, that keep us in spiritual equilibrium -- the good ones doing what they can to protect us or steer us away from being too influenced by the "bad" ones.
But here's a short clip called "How to Know if Your Guardian Angel is Talking to You" -- ruclips.net/video/7RbFpP3T-ig/видео.html
And at 15:18 in this video, Curtis talks a bit about those spirits with us: ruclips.net/video/7RbFpP3T-ig/видео.html
I know, this is how I communicate with my wife, using the "lataif" radiation.
I had to look that up, Lawrence, but would you like to describe it in your own words for our viewers here?
@@offTheLeftEye It's just luinous space-dust that carries thought, the colours are given by the chakras. Because each universe is different for each individual, the luminous space-dust is the glow produced by thee inter-dimentional Consciosness we all are .
@@Lawrence.Bennett Sounds interesting. We are trying to attach words to things that are hard to describe... chakras, auras....
@@offTheLeftEye Yes, it is beyond words.
@@Lawrence.Bennett deep things like love and wonder usually are.
Nice one. Reminds me of a mycelium network:)
Interesting, lightbeing! Had to look that one up!
@@offTheLeftEye I think it is related. The mycelium is also in space :). The correspondence is recognizable.
@@FAPPJAPPDAPP Correspondences are fascinating, aren't they?
@@offTheLeftEye they sure are as they populate around us in a desperate attempt to get our attention. Thank you for opening that door for me and for helping me understand the importance of correspondences. I can now see deeper and more profoundly. We come from the ashes into the fire 🔥 Ty
@@FAPPJAPPDAPP You are a long time reader/listener but here is is a video on correspondences in case you missed it. ruclips.net/video/0z8CxaQUqzM/видео.html
I started working at a memory care place as a caregiver, what happens when they pass is there memory restored once they get over there.?
We happen to have done a show on that topic, Mary. Here it is:
"What Will You Remember in the Afterlife?" ruclips.net/video/ChnFC9N0jfc/видео.html
In a nutshell, Swedenborg says our minds retain every single detail of our thoughts/feelings/deeds, but most of it goes quiescent unless there is some use for recalling it. But we'll be healed of the physically-based dementia, etc.
@Off The Left Eye thank you I'll check it out
If love and truth is so wonderful in the next life why arent we already there in stead of here ? why is there a hear and not just there ?
Try watching this short clip, nicholas, and see if it gets at your question:
"What's the Point of Having a Physical Body?" -- ruclips.net/video/LXj8Q2VuPfs/видео.html
Does Swedenborg have any information about what angels may or may not look like?
About 15 years ago I woke up to a bright fluorescent yellow green light. It was so bright it woke me because I could see it through my eyelids.
I opened my eyes and I saw 3 human like figures next to my bed. No facial markings just light from each figure which lit up the room. One was at the foot of my bed, one next to my bed and one that seemed to had been leaning over me. What was surprising is when I opened my eyes the figure over me stood back as if surprised I could see it, as the other figures stood back. It was only seconds until I closed my eyes and grabbed my husband and said What the heck was that!
Over the years I have been searching for a answer.
Any idea where I could look?
Annelie that sure sounds like angels. Here is a playlist of videos about Heaven and the angels who dwell there. studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSngp4_pz7VaYnlWzl2-tEcS/edit
There is a book on our website, swedenborg.com called Heaven and Hell that you can download for free. You will find answers there about angels. What an amazing experience it was!
Thank you!
Your experience was such a gift, Annelie.
Always wondered what they were doing.
Wondering is a sweet spot... keeps us curious, and paying attention. @@Annelie58
can you meet parallel selves somehow in the afterlife? I dont mean twins or anything
What DO you mean by parallel selves, yahia?
@@offTheLeftEye like, another self that underwent a completely different life from my own or had a different history or present than my own. You know, what they portray in some comics like in the council of reeds or something
@@offTheLeftEye maybe also, realities that I do not exist within, and by that I mean the physical self.
@@yahiawaleed828 I am still not quite following. Do you mean a partner, like a twin flame? Here is a video about that. ruclips.net/video/LW0PudFWrfg/видео.html
@@yahiawaleed828 Could you be talking about other planets? Still trying to understand.
Do Angels get married 🤔
Yes MIss Dee we believe they do. Here is a video about that if you are curious. ruclips.net/user/liveQ9vyvxOL3tc
O yes I live in KC Mo. Sorry
Thanks for clarifying, russell. There are various Swedenborgian organizations around the world, and the groups within those organizations have varying "flavors." If you go here -- newchurch.org/contact/locations/ -- you'll find a listing for Kansas City, MO. Or you can go here -- swedenborg.org/community/find-a-group-congregation/ -- and type in your location and see what's nearby.
Also, we have a newly launched "Community Membership" Platform, where we have discussions, book groups, etc. as an online option! You can click the tab for that at swedenborg.com.
do people go on vacation in heaven?
Well, Brian, I'm not sure! I think the set-up there doesn't involve NEEDING a long break from the day-to-day slog of a work week, for instance. But it sounds like it is a world of indescribably beauty, and I can imagine a desire to explore! Swedenborg does talk about the importance of recreation. And I see a passage that talks about spirits traveling around looking for a certain kind of heaven. And another passage about some spirits whose passion is learning from first-hand experience, and they are allowed to travel all around to different places in the spiritual world. The basic laws of heaven (like the law of gravity here) are about love and usefulness, so if it taps into those things in one way or another, I imagine that vacations could be phenomenal "up there"!
I can imagine it's likely as living an infinite holiday in heaven, no need to go on vacation
@@offTheLeftEye I love the ocean and the mountains. I hope GOD doesn't make me choose.
@@fantasip But in heaven we will have ways to be useful, like jobs but joyful.
@@briankelly85 You can surely enjoy both.
The extra powers Angels do have is that they can turn themselves as humans but transform as humans they choose beautiful faces and personalities.
QUR'AN does speak of Angels interacting Prophets alike Abraham, Lut, Moses , Jesus
And especially to Pious Mary and Muhammad s a.w.w.
QUR'AN speaks that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w. seen Angel Jibreel in his original body and face only twice during life span of 63 years.
This creation of God Almighty lives in other dimension where we can't see them but definitely we sometimes feel presence of invisibles around us.
Angels and Jinns can come to our dimension to interact with us but with out earthly bodies we cannot interact them to their dimension.
God knows better who created everything in a great detail and intellect .🙏🙏🙏
Thats a lie from the father of lies the devil 😈, you are decieved big time,
I understand all these things can't be proved scientifically.
Where science ends God's lines starts from there .
I don't mind you saying that I'm deceiving,,, people need a faith .
80% of Glorious Qur'an proved scientifically correct so far 20% is off from our eyes and that is our belief ,!!!!
I resonate with what you say here, Nauman, except I'm confused by your first sentence. Can you clarify what you're saying there?
Curtis I'm saying that Angels help and can meet us but only in human form only .
They can transform their invisible bodies to beautiful and Good looking humans.
For example Angel Jibreel mostly visit prophet Muhammad s a.w.w. in the form of a companion of Prophet and he was one of the most beautiful person in MAKKAH during that time.
@@carolbassant2490 we wish you well even though we see life differently.
No angels dont ever speak until GOD teLls them to, understand, dont know where you get that from, but the bible, never said that, know your bible,
We love the Bible, too, Carol, and we share here the ideas written down by a devout Bible study-er who claims to have been called by Jesus Christ to see into the spiritual world and learn about angels and the afterlife. We honor your spiritual path and wish you a channel that perhaps is a better fit for you. Blessings to you.
