Romans 6 does talk about being enslaved to sin when you keep giving in to it. So you become enslaved by your lower self. So the New Testament sheds light on the Old and Swedenborg definitely helps make it crystal clear.
So our outer self needs to be a slave to our inner self that is controlled by God. Like your example of a house. The evil in us needs to be kept locked in the basement and the top floor is where God resides. We can go up or down but we need to make sure God stays on the top.
Wow....great show . Hmmm....will be thinking of this subject again and again. Thank you Curtis and Jonathan, and the staff! Will be watching the full episode now.
So our inner selves should rule over our lower selves , when its in this order then God rules in us through our inner selves.l love this order, I love this video thank you❤🙏
What do you say about the Last Supper, or the Holy Meal that Jesus gave to his disciples? I am Catholic and Jesus said this is my body, this is my blood. And so we eat the Eucharist. There have been many Eucharistic miracles like blood and flesh manifesting in the Eucharist. What would Swedenborg say about this detail? I'm not sure how I feel about the miracles in the Holy Meal, all I know is that I love Jesus and I want to live a Holy life.
Well that is a beautiful baseline faith to have, Darlene! Swedenborg says those elements are symbolic and correspondential -- taking the bread is taking God's love into our life, and taking the wine is taking God's truth into our life. We ingest it and it gives us strength in our body, just like the Lord's love/goodness and truth nourish and strengthen our spirit. How does that idea sit with you?
Psycho enslavement is a deep-diving course, lots to learn and hear here. Knowledge is like food that gives nourishment to the masses to allow them to live. Every jot, comma, horn, or title in the Word has a divine purpose to teach people about symbols. Self-love is the devil. Great job keep up the good work.
The kingdom of heaven is within. That which belongs and is a part of heaven is you. This is a game of hide and seek heaven style. I could tell you who? you really are, but I would be writing all day and would not have scratched the surface as they say. It should be sufficient 🙏 to say that we are dealing with powers that you are just beginning to perceive. I am the 1st soul that has been found. There are others, and we are growing in numbers and are now assisting in the discovery of other souls awakening. These interactions with you (the reader) will look like nonsense to a soul controlled by the body. A soul that fully realises that it is not the body/mind system it is in is released from the service of human needs and turns its attention to the greater need of service to other souls still trapped in the body/mind illusion. If you get this message, then please feel free to seek me out. Who's Who? is an internal question despite its outward appearance. Seek and yea shall find ❤️🙏RW
The soul/body interface remains a fascinating subject to ponder, RW. Swedenborg wrote a very small book called "Soul-Body Interaction" -- you're inspiring me to go take another look at what he wrote about it. Eventually we'll all become our true soul-selves. I'm thinking on the other side, but you're saying here!
@offTheLeftEye I am indeed that is the unveiling (apocalypse). Bringing heaven to earth. The hints are all there about what is going to happen next in very short order, I might add. LAW to you all RW
I could well be out of my depth here, but I think this speaks to the truth within a contradiction; of simultaneously being while becoming! I have long held, that we are the sum total of our contradictions - as is Life itself, and as is Love - for Love to be true - True Love - it must be unconditional and so, by that reckoning, embrace a contradiction. That True Love is unconditional is the condition of it, in the exact same way the idea of detachment is attached to an ideal. It is in fact those perceived contradictions within the Bible that verify the existence of God, where is even the Bible itself the sum total of its contradictions. Where some might say the amount of contradictions in the Bible makes its claims unlikely to be true, I think more that it substantiates a Truth, that of Who We Are is something far greater than what we think, save our imagination that carries us beyond the threshold of the immediate, to place us within the relative unknown we will come to realize we have always known!
So thankful for these two individuals! I have been listening to one or both of them daily for several years. It is all about changing my way of thinking (or learning to listen to my inner self). Sometimes I have such inner peace; the rest of the time I am still wrestling with myself. Many habits take so much time and effort to change. I can tell that there are now many others on the same path as I am. This must make these two and their their staffs and superiors very happy. Blessings to all!
Well, Ken, we are all just very happy that these ideas are feeling helpful for a lot of people. We get so many testimonials from people who feel their lives have been changed, and that makes us grateful that we've been able to do this work to share concepts that have made a difference for our own lives. As for the ongoing struggle -- yes! Welcome to the human race! Just taking a look at nature is a reminder to me that life is cyclical. Day and night, summer and winter, birth and death -- we might go through these cycles on a daily basis! But as Dr. Rose likes to say, the Lord is playing the long game. We believe God is blessing every bit of the struggle as we stumble along towards eternity!
So glad to hear that, Darlene. The literal meaning of these stories can be so disheartening -- what a difference to know that their inner, symbolic meaning actually has relevance for our lives!

Wow that’s good stuff
We too appreciate the clarity that Swedenborg brings, Valhalla.
Thanks for being in the conversation Mike.

Great way to put it, Simsane. Having the priorities right makes all the difference!

Definitely plenty to ponder in this show, Pamela! Hope you enjoyed the full episode, too!
@@offTheLeftEye I did enjoy the full episode! Wonderful knowledge. 👍🙏❤️

Right, Chinonye. Our inner selves, aligned with God flowing into us, need to be in charge of our lower/outer selves. Glad it makes sense to you!

It's in there! (justice, that is)😊
Love it, Jon!
As always, great video. It was great seeing you and your mom yesterday in Toronto. 😊
It was so great seeing you in person! -Curtis
I loved seeing you, too, Alex! -- Karin
Wow! So cool you three met up in Toronto! Such a delight to meet the people behind the names in this comment field! ~Chara
@offTheLeftEye Looking forward to meeting the whole team soon.

Thanks for the kind words, Thomas, and thanks for adding your thoughts to the conversation!
Do we have live chat with this episode?
Sorry, Sheila! I guess not!

Always proving contraries. 😊
@@BowenUSA Blessings!
Another paradox is that the more angels believe that they have life of their own, the more they understand that they belong to the Lord, Bowen.
Yes there are blessings in this conversation, Phillip.
Or rather vice versa -- the more angels connect with and give themselves to the Lord, the more they feel they have a life of their own.
