I don't know if Swedenborg talked about this, but many NDEs talk about 360 degree vision. While the people still have a "face", they can see in all directions no matter which direction they "face".
Cool yes Swedenborg does talk about how angels always have the Lord's face before them, no matter how they turn. I think that resonates with what the NDE people are saying, explosives.
Curtis, I loved this episode. It makes perfect sense to realize that our primary love determines which direction we face in our spirit. I also love the graphics and your illustrations. Thank you.
If I was a betting man Curtis I would have to bet that swedenborg is not only helping you and us through his writing but also in spirit too ! Im fascinated with master disciple relationships.
Hi Curtis! I had made a long comment to you, and I think it disappeared so I will try it once again! I love very much what you had to say tonight. At first, as I listened, I was wondering about the extraordinary amount of people dying on this earth because of the wars going on it seems like everywhere..….then I was reminded of something from a few years ago. Your continued reference to the “East” reminded me of something quite profound. Several years ago on a very cold November evening we were having a gathering, celebrating my daughter’s life who had passed away exactly 40 days previously. As the sun set, some of us noticed an extra ordinary array of the most brilliant and unusual lights and colors streaming from the “East“. There was a Buddhist monk among us who advised us to be still and look. We did so. personally I have never seen anything like what I saw that night! We were all in AWE …. You referenced the “East“ several times tonight. Which brought up a question…. Is this experience we had that evening perhaps what you were referring to when you referenced the “East“ in so many different ways? That, perhaps the lights and amazing colors that streamed and radiated towards us in such an unusual fashion were actually coming from her surroundings where she was on that particular day seeing that it was exactly 40 days after she died? I’ve always wondered what that experience that evening meant… It was really unusual! can you please help me, or explain what this amazing experience that evening could really mean in terms of her own Spiritual evolution, as well as all of ours, who dwell on this earth who will be missing or are missing our Loved Ones in Spirit? I know that my question is challenging, but I also know that you are up to it, Curtis! Thanks so much! And thanks so much for doing the special work that you are doing to help us on our journeys….💞🕊👼❤️🔥💞
This is not Curtis, Peter, but a member of the team. I will say that you were given something precious that evening. Sacred, really, and it is still with you. It sounds like you had a glimpse of the beauty and light that we will all revel in when we too join the spiritual world, and I can easily imagine that your daughter sent you that vision to reassure you that she is well, and happy. What a gift that would be to a grieving parent. Swedenborg tells many stories about the light in heaven and it sounds similar to what you saw. I don't think that anything I can say would improve on your actual experience of being there, honoring your precious daughter. Thank you for sharing it with us.
This was such a fun lesson!! ES says somewhere in the Writings that we should keep "our goal" of going to heaven always before us (paraphrasing of course). So that helps me consider what I am doing because I don't want to ruin my chances of getting into heaven. So this idea of how we orient ourselves toward the Lord as the Sun in heaven seems very familiar and comforting. Loved hearing more about the spirtual compass!! Blessings for being messengers (aka angels) by bringing the heavenly universe into our world and our lives!!!❤❤
Familiar, yes. Varying religious faiths, including those of Christianity, have prayed and conducted rituals of worship facing east for centuries. It’s comforting to share in a collective intuition. In loose reference to the show, we bicycle centripetal facing each other in comradeship, reaching for the spiritual sun made of love, and seeing it in each other’s faces, which then reflects deeply in ourselves so that we see only east everywhere. (Don’t quote me on this) We become the ubiquitous Eastern Star! Just don’t stand behind me 😉 apparently, angels got this down. We truly are the faces of Light. 🤩
Yes Evalah, we will all be facing East. Doesn't make sense to us still tied to earth, but in the spiritual world it will. (and I won't stand behind you)
I like the part about no one being behind each others back. That's why I like "the way of the circle" indigenous seating in groups, rather than the hierarchial seating, with the speaker at the head and everyone facing the stage direction in rows. When in a circle, we can see each others faces and the speaker or leader is amongst us rather than be put ahead and above the rest. I wish our churches were set up this way. 💞
I agree! I’ve always loved yoga classes when we’ve placed our mats in a circle and practiced while facing each other. The energy of the class always felt like a collective prayer circle.
Wow Curtis! That was a brilliant presentation and it makes so much sense now that you have explained it, I would not have understood this until you explained it. Love this channel. Thank you Curtis for enlightening me 🙏
What strikes me is how we all can relate to how the people or things that we love most are always "in the forefront of our minds" ☺️ That's how all of this makes perfect sense to me.
Here I am, a human facing north, waiting on a star. If only an angel would fly by, deliver a compass and a map. Carve my constellation with the boney edge of her wing and bend to whisper in my ear: Face it, girl. You’ve been mis-directed. It’s SXSE that Curtis plays an acoustic cover of Zeppelin “In the Light.” on next week’s show! 😇
It is interesting how in Latin the word for "left" is sinistra and the English word "sinister"derived from this. Now who wants to be "left", when we can "make right "? In the Scandinavian, or Nordic languages we say "venstre" from both frènn and frenđe meaning to turn, but also "friend". And "right" is "hőgre" "meaning "higher", like "high road".
Did Swedenborg believe that all 66 Books of the Bible (39 OT, 27 NT) were inspired? OR did he have a shorter list? I heard someone say that he only believed 5 NT book were inspired (Matt, Mark, Luke, John, & Revelation).
That is right, Ken. He did offer a cannon that is shorter than some churches, and the ones you mention in the NT are what he sees as having internal meaning. Many of the others are what he called "good books" but less inspired.
very recently i have found that the more things that ring true on videos have duplicate numbers in the as when i was about to like the video 399 likes and when i liked it 400 also base numbers 3 and 4 total 7 as do 399 plus 400 base number is 7. i now when i look at digital clocks the same thing happens 80-90 % of the time and very recently consecutive duplicate numbers show up. Love you folks work.🙏❤
Thanks for the affirmation, bibletruthsareforyou. So interesting to notice all those things about numbers. Not sure what kind of meaning it all carries, but it's fun to think about!
Apparently the solar eclipse on 8 April moves from South West and moves up to the east, I find that bizarre. Something is changing . Would like you to explain if possible and also what is Swedenborg vue on the 144,000 chosen ones. 🙏 Thank you
Sorry, we don't have any insights on the upcoming solar eclipse! But we did dedicate an entire video to the concept of the 144,000 mentioned in the Book of Revelation: ruclips.net/video/9TBck9D-_XA/видео.html&t
Hi Curtis. Thank you for this information. I didn’t know about this. In heaven, are there names in different parts ? Like we have names of different countries, cities, states etc? Do you have a copy of a map of heaven I may have? How much would that be ? I’m in Australia. Thank you so much for all the work you do for us in the world 🌎.
Such a fascinating thing to think about Bellbell. We do not have a map, per se, though we have passages that try to describe the layout of heaven and the world of spirits. Perhaps you would like to download the book Heaven and Hell from our website. www.swedenborg.com
I’m imagining it as if it was something like a HUD, or Head’s Up Display, in a video game or augmented reality, where the HUD stays more or less fixed even as you rotate your character. I recently watched a documentary about Dante and ordered the Divine Comedy, because he described having witnessed similar phenomenon, particularly in the last book of the series, Paradiso. As I read it, I’m wondering if it’ll shed any more light on it. I’m assuming both authors, Swedenborg and Dante, observed many of the same things in heaven.
what if angels of light are angles of light.. from the sun ofc as light is consciousness in physical form so the angels themselves are an expression of "god" or consciousness/source
Thank you for this video, which I find fascinating. Yes, I think that it works like that here as well. I have been trying to get an answer to why and how heat is detected in front of the face, which can sometimes be felt here. Also, I have noticed that the light is detectable in some people's faces; when they have been looked at in the eyes for a little while, it is like their face reflects a light for a short moment, reflecting like a soft flashlight used in photography, only to go away again. I feel it is like a gesture, like seeing the Lord in another person-a salute. I believe it is possible to see who is facing east down here as well, just by using the spiritual faculties embedded in the heart. So, is it possible to see the mindset of people, which way they are standing according to the compass, and to see God's reflection in a person's face? I say yes; it is possible to see the reflection of the Lord in another person down here as well, which is amazing. Thank you for this informative work.
@@Evalah.444-93 I think it happens to everyone, no matter if they see it or not. That we are all greeting the spirit in all of us, that we recognize each other on a spiritual level. A peaceful, loving mind, who treats others better than himself, who loves life and God, and who is genuine, does his part to give it all to the Lord and to do what is best. I am not saying that I am like that, surrendered, I for sure have my issues, but it is an interesting phenomenon nonetheless. I could call it a spiritual handshake, which occurs when two souls meet face-to-face and recognize the Lord in each other. Thank you for your comment.
@@Evalah.444-93 Some thoughts: Hence, forgive the Lord for your own transgressions and let the light in. Do not fear the light, but become it. The Lord has no enmity against you but loves you as you are, because forgiveness of the Lord does not exist, as there was never any condemnation to begin with, and so is it for all. If you condemn other parts of the Lord, such as others, you block out the light and are blinded by the darkness, you turn your face away from the Lord.
Thank you for the dialogue, FAF. I have seen the light in the faces of people on their wedding day, or with a new baby, or a young child. I am not sure about the heat in their faces, though. It is fun to explore.
is that not an indication for us on earth that wherever we look, there is God if we are willing to see it, in everything that comes into our view, God is behind it. Wherever we look if we consciously know it or not we are always facing God even when we look at one another, behind each one of us there is God, the very essence behind our being. it is just like if you had a compass around your body that never movies and no matter where you turn you are always facing east, because it is not related to the worlds compass but us being in the center of that compass and when we turn it turned with us. Like in the chart you showed us, for example if that sun was not just sitting in one point but wherever you turn that sun is there or at least this is what they see also in each one of us. It all makes perfectly sense
Thanks for that description, Miriam! I like the idea of being wrapped in a compass. Not centered on the earth's magnetism but rather the magnetism of turning toward God. Thanks for that image.
@@offTheLeftEye till we meet again I would love too meet my dead friends and dead family member again is it a possibility I will see them again after my life on earth comes too a end right
Absolutely, Thierry! At least we believe so! Have you seen this episode of ours? "Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" youtu.be/ 9gdngWOvKas The thing is, LOVE is the ultimate reality in life, so LOVE will draw us together on the other side! Blessings to you for those losses in your life. May you feel the love you shared with your loved ones still alive in your heart!
the angels r=take in our souls as we depart this life with love. With the recent senceless mass shooting in Maine how do you think that mans soul was received in Heaven ?
A question on the hearts of many, Nicholas. Swedenborg describes an immediate experience for all people of reception by the most loving angels -- as all people were created as beloved children of God. It is basically a state of unconsciousness, as Swedenborg describes it, a gentle transition from this world to the spiritual world -- I like to think it mirrors our birth on earth, when we really aren't aware of our surroundings because it's a whole new world, and hopefully we are received into a loving family. But before long, the newly-arrived spirit comes into a more conscious state, like the one we had on earth, and we begin our journey of self-reflection, education, and purification. And then we go live in the place that best reflects our true inner self -- to heaven if we are wanting to be loving and compassionate and honest; elsewhere if we have other motivations. Swedenborg reminds us that only God can know someone's inner motivations, and he also learned that if we are not in a state of clear rationality (i.e., mental illness, under the influence, acting from extreme pain, etc.), our behaviors at that time are not necessarily the driving force for our eternal afterlife. God is way more merciful than we are, and not the "punishing type," but keeps angels safe in heaven, and allows non-angels to be in a place where they feel like they can breathe. This is a tough concept for many people. We believe God is Love Itself, and therefore allows his beloved children to opt out of following Him, but he doesn't throw anyone into hell. We do that ourselves, if that's what we want.
Ilove all this but one question why didn't Jesus tell us all this it would have made it all so much easier for me especially, can we really believe swedenborg any answers thanks,
John, God has told us things in parable, as Jesus describes in the New Testament. Sometimes that is how those truths are protected. "Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. "Matthew 13 Here is a playlist of videos about the symbolism in the bible. studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSlaKuOoGVLb8M-OmQM3R0lq/edit
Thanks quenessymony. Swedenborg is the basis of this channel and does not support the idea of reincarnation. Here is a playlist of videos about heaven, in case that interests you. studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSngp4_pz7VaYnlWzl2-tEcS/edit
Will I let God know about the reason why I was so depressed is all because I really wish it was not rude to ask young woman or college girls for their age. And I'm mean on earth as well too
Get the falsities of the egoic-mind programming behind me, so that one’s face only faces the Truth-Light. The rat in Ganesha’s hand is a symbol of this, and his other hand is a ball of light.
O ORIENTE é a direção certa nos Céus, onde o brilho celeste do Senhor emana para os anjos. A bússola (compass) tem uma outra "orientação". O CURTIS explica isso com uma boa didática também. E como os anjos se vêem frente a frente, mesmo eles estando de costas para o leste (Oriente Celeste), e ainda assim eles estão sempre direcionados para o leste! Isso é pura metafísica celeste! A GRAVIDADE LÁ É SUSTENTADA PELO PRÓPRIO SENHOR. É ALGO QUE NENHUMA IGREJA TEM CONHECIMENTO NESSE MUNDO. Pude compreender isso logo que li os ARCANOS CELESTES. O nosso mundo foi de tal maneira revirado e desorientado, que sabemos agora porque TODO O MAL VEM DO NORTE. JEREMIAS 1.14. SWEDENBORG VIU ESSES DETALHES E NOS RELATOU COM PRECISÃO.
Thank you for this thoughtful comment, Aleijadinhopatriota, about the miracle that angels can face one another while still facing the Lord, and that gravity is how God pulls us in. It does not make sense in our world of time and space but it makes wonderful sense in heavenly terms.
Yes, my brother, here is getting also about the celestial geometry. And as you said, they can't see their heads from behind. And in this world, I see a lot of mischievous people doing so! They like to approaching us from behind.@@offTheLeftEye
This is not Curtis, but a member of the team. I hear that you want your mother to believe in heaven and yet she is free to make her own decision about what to believe. God designed us that way. You might ask her what is behind her convictions, and listen to her hopes about life on this earth. She may ask why you believe as you do as well. Good luck Jennifer. It need not be a wall between you and your mother.
I love the engineer mind of Swedenborg. It Makes the Spirit world and Heavens more concrete to me and I like it. What a great professor! Thank you Curtis!
Swedenborg was an accomplished scientist before he had his spiritual experiences, Genevieve. Yes it absolutely informs what he writes.
I don't know if Swedenborg talked about this, but many NDEs talk about 360 degree vision. While the people still have a "face", they can see in all directions no matter which direction they "face".
Cool yes Swedenborg does talk about how angels always have the Lord's face before them, no matter how they turn. I think that resonates with what the NDE people are saying, explosives.
I can attest to this. 360 view/comprehension is something I have personally experienced in certain states of being.
Yea I've heard a bunch of NDE and OBE experiencers say this in their testimonies.
That is pretty cool, Lisa.
It is amazing to hear people talk about it Christina.
Best thing about Mondays: This show.
I am delighted that you look forward to them Explosives.
Curtis, I loved this episode. It makes perfect sense to realize that our primary love determines which direction we face in our spirit. I also love the graphics and your illustrations. Thank you.
We are delighted that the video resonated for you Gabrielle. Yes, our illustrators are pretty talented.
If I was a betting man Curtis I would have to bet that swedenborg is not only helping you and us through his writing but also in spirit too ! Im fascinated with master disciple relationships.
Bet away, Justin. We are glad that Curtis is getting help from guardian angels for this important work. -Lori
Hi Curtis! I had made a long comment to you, and I think it disappeared so I will try it once again!
I love very much what you had to say tonight.
At first, as I listened, I was wondering about the extraordinary amount of people dying on this earth because of the wars going on it seems like everywhere..….then I was reminded of something from a few years ago.
Your continued reference to the “East” reminded me of something quite profound.
Several years ago on a very cold November evening we were having a gathering, celebrating my daughter’s life who had passed away exactly 40 days previously.
As the sun set, some of us noticed an extra ordinary array of the most brilliant and unusual lights and colors streaming from the “East“.
There was a Buddhist monk among us who advised us to be still and look. We did so. personally I have never seen anything like what I saw that night! We were all in AWE ….
You referenced the “East“ several times tonight. Which brought up a question….

can you please help me, or explain what this amazing experience that evening could really mean in terms of her own Spiritual evolution, as well as all of ours, who dwell on this earth who will be missing or are missing our Loved Ones in Spirit?
I know that my question is challenging, but I also know that you are up to it, Curtis! Thanks so much! And thanks so much for doing the special work that you are doing to help us on our journeys….💞🕊👼❤️🔥💞
This is not Curtis, Peter, but a member of the team. I will say that you were given something precious that evening. Sacred, really, and it is still with you.

Thank you for the dialogue, FAF. I have seen the light in the faces of people on their wedding day, or with a new baby, or a young child. I am not sure about the heat in their faces, though. It is fun to explore.

is that not an indication for us on earth that wherever we look, there is God if we are willing to see it, in everything that comes into our view, God is behind it. Wherever we look if we consciously know it or not we are always facing God even when we look at one another, behind each one of us there is God, the very essence behind our being. it is just like if you had a compass around your body that never movies and no matter where you turn you are always facing east, because it is not related to the worlds compass but us being in the center of that compass and when we turn it turned with us. Like in the chart you showed us, for example if that sun was not just sitting in one point but wherever you turn that sun is there or at least this is what they see also in each one of us. It all makes perfectly sense
Thanks for that description, Miriam! I like the idea of being wrapped in a compass. Not centered on the earth's magnetism but rather the magnetism of turning toward God. Thanks for that image.
We die physically but not spiritually till we meet again all my fallen soldiers and fallen brothers
Till we meet again, Thierry!
@@offTheLeftEye till we meet again I would love too meet my dead friends and dead family member again is it a possibility I will see them again after my life on earth comes too a end right
Absolutely, Thierry! At least we believe so! Have you seen this episode of ours?

The thing is, LOVE is the ultimate reality in life, so LOVE will draw us together on the other side! Blessings to you for those losses in your life. May you feel the love you shared with your loved ones still alive in your heart!

Let me try again. ruclips.net/user/live9gdngWOvKas@@thierryestiverne4686
the angels r=take in our souls as we depart this life with love. With the recent senceless mass shooting in Maine how do you think that mans soul was received in Heaven ?
A question on the hearts of many, Nicholas. Swedenborg describes an immediate experience for all people of reception by the most loving angels -- as all people were created as beloved children of God. It is basically a state of unconsciousness, as Swedenborg describes it, a gentle transition from this world to the spiritual world -- I like to think it mirrors our birth on earth, when we really aren't aware of our surroundings because it's a whole new world, and hopefully we are received into a loving family.
But before long, the newly-arrived spirit comes into a more conscious state, like the one we had on earth, and we begin our journey of self-reflection, education, and purification. And then we go live in the place that best reflects our true inner self -- to heaven if we are wanting to be loving and compassionate and honest; elsewhere if we have other motivations.
Swedenborg reminds us that only God can know someone's inner motivations, and he also learned that if we are not in a state of clear rationality (i.e., mental illness, under the influence, acting from extreme pain, etc.), our behaviors at that time are not necessarily the driving force for our eternal afterlife. God is way more merciful than we are, and not the "punishing type," but keeps angels safe in heaven, and allows non-angels to be in a place where they feel like they can breathe.
This is a tough concept for many people. We believe God is Love Itself, and therefore allows his beloved children to opt out of following Him, but he doesn't throw anyone into hell. We do that ourselves, if that's what we want.
Ilove all this but one question why didn't Jesus tell us all this it would have made it all so much easier for me especially, can we really believe swedenborg any answers thanks,
John, God has told us things in parable, as Jesus describes in the New Testament. Sometimes that is how those truths are protected. "Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. "Matthew 13
Here is a playlist of videos about the symbolism in the bible. studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSlaKuOoGVLb8M-OmQM3R0lq/edit
so, if some people werent sun loving, what would that imply?
There are many ways to love God... Yahia. I would not make a spiritual judgment of anyone who prefers night, or dusk, or stars.
Hello Everyone 👋🏾💐 Do You Have a Video 🎬 of how to know about your past life ⁉️🙏🏾
Thanks quenessymony. Swedenborg is the basis of this channel and does not support the idea of reincarnation. Here is a playlist of videos about heaven, in case that interests you. studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSngp4_pz7VaYnlWzl2-tEcS/edit
When I saw the movie Golden Compass I knew it was in part a illustration. The Eleometer.
Do you recommend the movie, Jahlea?
Not necessarily. The entire series written and made into a series....His Dark Materials on HBO Max was very interesting. @@offTheLeftEye
Ok, thanks for the review, Jahlea.
Will I let God know about the reason why I was so depressed is all because I really wish it was not rude to ask young woman or college girls for their age. And I'm mean on earth as well too
Curious master, we hope that you can find other ways to be with young women, and to be kind with people.
@@offTheLeftEye and if I can't
It sounds like a real struggle for you. @@curiousmaster1970
Is this why Jesus exclaimed to Peter, "Satan get behind me!"?
Get the falsities of the egoic-mind programming behind me, so that one’s face only faces the Truth-Light. The rat in Ganesha’s hand is a symbol of this, and his other hand is a ball of light.
Yes, RRRR. Behind him means, out of power.
Thank you for this background, Evalah.
As in East of Eden?
East is symbolic of looking toward God whenever it appears in scripture, yes, wwrk.
O ORIENTE é a direção certa nos Céus, onde o brilho celeste do Senhor emana para os anjos. A bússola (compass) tem uma outra "orientação".
O CURTIS explica isso com uma boa didática também. E como os anjos se vêem frente a frente, mesmo eles estando de costas para o leste (Oriente Celeste), e ainda assim eles estão sempre direcionados para o leste! Isso é pura metafísica celeste! A GRAVIDADE LÁ É SUSTENTADA PELO PRÓPRIO SENHOR. É ALGO QUE NENHUMA IGREJA TEM CONHECIMENTO NESSE MUNDO.
Pude compreender isso logo que li os ARCANOS CELESTES. O nosso mundo foi de tal maneira revirado e desorientado, que sabemos agora porque TODO O MAL VEM DO NORTE. JEREMIAS 1.14.
SWEDENBORG VIU ESSES DETALHES E NOS RELATOU COM PRECISÃO.
Thank you for this thoughtful comment, Aleijadinhopatriota, about the miracle that angels can face one another while still facing the Lord, and that gravity is how God pulls us in. It does not make sense in our world of time and space but it makes wonderful sense in heavenly terms.
Yes, my brother, here is getting also about the celestial geometry. And as you said, they can't see their heads from behind. And in this world, I see a lot of mischievous people doing so! They like to approaching us from behind.@@offTheLeftEye
Sounds very mischevious, Alejandra.
Hey Curtis my mom doesn’t believe that we go to heaven when we die I keep telling her heaven is real idk what to do
This is not Curtis, but a member of the team. I hear that you want your mother to believe in heaven and yet she is free to make her own decision about what to believe. God designed us that way. You might ask her what is behind her convictions, and listen to her hopes about life on this earth. She may ask why you believe as you do as well. Good luck Jennifer. It need not be a wall between you and your mother.
@@offTheLeftEye told her heaven is home she’ll see when we leave this earth
Yes you can share your trust in the afterlife, Jennifer, and it can perhaps open her mind to it. God is taking perfect care of her.
@@offTheLeftEye my dad died hope he’s heaven can’t wait to see him again
@@offTheLeftEye and love of live in heaven he’s waiting on me sometimes I can feel him some people thinks I’m crazy
Are there please in haven we not allowed to go

There are probably places we will not want to go RD.
