Bible Verse for Anxiety | My Yoke Is Easy and My Burden Is Light | The Message of Matthew 11:28-30

Can the Bible be used to help us meditate? How can we learn more about the inner meaning of God's Word? Join us as we read Matthew 11:28-30, contemplate this passage together, and find ways to apply these teachings to our life! This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pQ2j1cJAbQI↓↓↓ More resources below ↓↓↓Bible scripture can be a potent tool for combating anxiety and fear, and can become a significant part of any meditative or spiritual practice. In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 11:28-30, exploring how a Bible verse can help us with anxiety, worry, and fear. Bible meditation can help us cultivate mindfulness, love for the neighbor, ourselves, and for the Lord; and foster peace in our hearts and minds. The words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew and throughout Scripture remind us that the Lord wants to help us, and that when we live from love instead of fear, our burden is lighter, our yoke is easy, and we will find rest.

What It’s Like to Die and Come Back | Help for Fear of Death Anxiety: You Don't Have to Fear Death

Understanding the details of the dying process and what happens after death can help when struggling with fear of death anxiety. We explore what it's like to die and what heaven is like. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/J0vjvAh_5DM↓↓↓ More resources below ↓↓↓Death anxiety and fear of dying are common experiences. They are real, but not true, because death is simply a transition from one world to another; it is when our spirit (that is already alive in us now) is freed from the physical body and continues to live a fully sensory life in the spiritual world. We have spiritual senses, and so after death we continue to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, think, love and grow, only what we are sensing and experiencing is spiritual reality rather than physical reality. Angels welcome us immediately after we die and care and protect us through the transition.To learn more about what happens immediately after we die, check out this summary! https://www.offthelefteye.com/life-after-death/what-happens-after-you-die/★☆★COME TO THE OFF THE LEFT EYE EXPERIENCE - JULY 23-25, 2021!★☆★Click here to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-off-the-left-eye-experience-2021-becoming-an-angel-registration-151549046277The Off The Left Eye Experience 2021: Becoming an Angel will be an immersive, multi-day, fully online exploration of the ways in which we transform our inner selves.

How to Know If Your Guardian Angel is Talking to You | 5 Ways Angels Speak to Humans | + Meditation

The ways angels speak to humans can be confusing. Will angels appear to us? Or can we literally hear them? Understanding the mechanism of our angel communication makes it clear. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7RbFpP3T-ig↓↓↓ Explore Our Angel Study Guide↓↓↓Direct link for the Guardian Angel Meditation: https://www.offthelefteye.com/guardian-angel-meditation/To explore who Emanuel Swedenborg was: https://www.swedenborg.com/emanuel-swedenborg/★☆★ANGEL STUDY GUIDE★☆★OUR CONNECTION TO ANGELS IS CONSTANT:"People have no idea whatever that the Lord governs them through angels and spirits, or that at least two spirits and two angels accompany each of them. The spirits create a link with the world of spirits, and the angels create one with heaven. We cannot possibly live without a channel of communication open to the world of spirits through spirits and to heaven through angels (and in this way to the Lord through heaven). Our life depends totally on such a connection. If the spirits and angels withdrew from us, we would be destroyed in a second."—Secrets of Heaven 50HOW ANGELS ARE CONNECTED TO US:"The Lord provides that spirits influence our thoughts and wishes but that angels influence our ultimate goals, and through our goals, the consequences that result. Angels also flow through good spirits into the good deeds we do and the religious truth we believe, using these to lead us away from evil and falsity as much as possible. Their influence is silent, and imperceptible to us, but even though it is secret, it works."—Secrets of Heaven 5854:1"The angels with us are the Lord's, and therefore what they govern inside us are our purposes. When they govern these, they also govern our thoughts and deeds, because all our thoughts and deeds are included in our purposes."—Secrets of Heaven 1317WHAT ANGELS DO TO PROTECT US:"Angels are always carefully watching evil spirits’ and demons’ attempts and efforts with us. So far as we let them, they turn evil into good or at least into something better or at least into something less bad."—Secrets of Heaven 5980"The angels through whom the Lord leads and protects us are near our head. Their job is to inspire neighborly love and faith. They also watch the direction our pleasures take, taming them and bending them toward good so far as our freedom allows them to. They are not permitted to act violently, breaking our cravings and our assumptions, but must proceed gently. Another function they have is to control the evil spirits from hell, and they do it in countless ways, of which I may mention only this one: When evil spirits flood us with evil and falsity, angels instill truth and goodness. Even if we do not accept the truth and goodness, they use it to at least temper the evil and falsity. Hellish spirits constantly attack us, and angels protect us. That is the way of things. Most of all, angels regulate our emotions, since these constitute our life and our freedom. Angels watch to see whether hells that were not open before open up and exert an influence on us, which happens when we take to some new evil. So far as we allow, angels shut off these hells and remove any spirits who try to emerge from them. They also dissipate any strange new influences that have a bad effect. Above all, angels call on the goodness and truth we harbor and use it to block the evil and falsity stirred up by evil spirits. We stand in the middle and discern neither the evil nor the good. Being in the middle, we are free to turn toward one or the other. These are the kinds of ways angels from the Lord lead and safeguard us, which they do every moment and every fraction of a moment. If they stopped for only a second, we would plunge headlong into evil from which we could never again be led away.In doing this work, angels are motivated by love they receive from the Lord."—Secrets of Heaven 5992OUR CONNECTION TO ANGELS IS A CONNECTION TO GOD:"The Lord talks to every individual, because anything good or true that a person wills or thinks comes from the Lord. We each have at least two evil spirits and two angels with us. The evil spirits stir up our evils, but the angels inspire goodness and truth. Everything good or true that the angels inspire in us is the Lord's, so the Lord is constantly talking to us. He talks very differently, though, to one person than to another."—Secrets of Heaven 904WHERE ANGEL POWER COMES FROM. ANGELS HAVE SURRENDERED THEIR WILLS ENTIRELY TO GOD:"It does need to be known, though, that angels have absolutely no power on their own, but that all the power they have comes from the Lord. Further, they are powers to the extent that they recognize this fact. Any of them who believe that their power comes from themselves immediately become so weak that they cannot resist even a single evil spirit. This is why angels take absolutely no credit to themselves and turn down any praise or admiration for anything they have done, but attribute it all to the Lord."—Heaven and Hell 230

The Meaning of the Psalms | The Lord Will Take Care of Me | Psalm 27 | Bible Verse for Worry

Every Bible verse has deep symbolic spiritual meaning, and in this video we harvest the spiritual wisdom encoded in Psalm 27 about how the Lord cares for us and protects us, and leads us. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3EYOfztoEY0↓↓↓ More resources below ↓↓↓We all share the experience of feeling worry and fear, but God is with us to take care of us and protect us. It is easy to lose sight of this truth, but the Bible, and especially the Psalms, can remind us. When we read, "The Lord is my light and my salvation," we can be reminded of the gospel that God rescues us from hellish thoughts and feelings and leads us to guiding truth. We are protected during spiritual attacks. Genuine Christianity is one that recognizes the inner work necessary for spiritual growth. Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you," (Luke 17:21) and " take up [your] cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23). True worship is when we "cease to do evil and learn to do good" (Isaiah 1:16-17), and the meaning of Psalm 27 can give us essential nourishment along the journey. ★☆★COME TO THE OFF THE LEFT EYE EXPERIENCE - JULY 23-25, 2021!★☆★Click here to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-off-the-left-eye-experience-2021-becoming-an-angel-registration-151549046277The Off The Left Eye Experience 2021: Becoming an Angel will be an immersive, multi-day, fully online exploration of the ways in which we transform our inner selves.

Why Didn't Being Spiritual Get Rid of My Depression? - Chasing Swedenborg

Curtis explores how the spiritual and physical sides of life both play a part in our overall mental health and how taking antidepressants can be useful on the spiritual path.

Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yUb_BqSr9wM↓↓↓ FREE e-book downloads and more below ↓↓↓It can seem hard to reconcile spirituality and depression. "Shouldn't being spiritual keep me from being depressed?" But that's not the case. We are spiritual and physical beings and having depression is not a statement on whether or not you are spiritual.

Chris spent much of his life steeped in various faith traditions and cultures. Growing up, he experienced both Judaism and Protestantism within his family, and as a young adult was influenced by the spiritual direction of Catholicism. After Chris began his professional career he was led to Swedenborg, and found his writings to be revolutionary—so much so that he felt called to enter seminary to align his heart and mind more deeply with Swedenborg's work. During his time at Bryn Athyn College, Chris was asked to help support offTheLeftEye as a YouTube moderator and he found himself instantly at home providing spiritual support for the online community. It was this experience that led Chris to decide to transition from his third year of seminary to a full-time role with offTheLeftEye. Chris now enjoys leveraging his technical skills to help create meaningful pathways for spirituality to flourish in the world.★☆★REACH OUT★☆★Want to be a featured guest on our show or have an offTheLeftEye team member appear on your show Contact us through the About tab/section of this channel.

Now, Curtis is applying his education and desire to help others find peace through Swedenborg’s insights by producing and hosting this weekly webcast.Chelsea Odhner is a production manager and scriptwriter for offTheLeftEye. A lifelong Swedenborgian, Chelsea's interest in Swedenborg's spiritual work intensified in her early twenties when she realized she wanted to make conscious changes in her life and behaviors. When paired with her study of yoga practice and philosophy, Chelsea found Swedenborg’s worldview connected all the spokes of different faiths and philosophical perspectives that she values. Initially interested in pursuing a career in integrative medicine, her passion for poetry, writing, and music led her to focus on serving the spiritual side of health and well-being.Chara Daum is a Latin consultant for the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg translation series. Her involvement with Swedenborg's Latin began with trying to decipher his handwritten manuscripts of Spiritual Experiences during college, and the mission has followed her in one form or another ever since. Chara has worked on translating fifteen out of Swedenborg's nineteen published theological titles (including the fifteen-volume Secrets of Heaven), and a few of his unpublished works as well. This work has been a source of abundant blessings for Chara, from pondering uplifting spiritual ideas to collaborating with brilliant and wonderful colleagues.Chris Dunn is a community manager for offTheLeftEye. Chris spent much of his life steeped in various faith traditions and cultures. Growing up, he experienced both Judaism and Protestantism within his family, and as a young adult was influenced by the spiritual direction of Catholicism. After Chris began his professional career he was led to Swedenborg, and found his writings to be revolutionary—so much so that he felt called to enter seminary to align his heart and mind more deeply with Swedenborg's work. During his time at Bryn Athyn College, Chris was asked to help support offTheLeftEye as a YouTube moderator and he found himself instantly at home providing spiritual support for the online community. It was this experience that led Chris to decide to transition from his third year of seminary to a full-time role with offTheLeftEye. Chris now enjoys leveraging his technical skills to help create meaningful pathways for spirituality to flourish in the world.★☆★REACH OUT★☆★Want to be a featured guest on our show or have an offTheLeftEye team member appear on your show Contact us through the About tab/section of this channel.

While obtaining his degree in communication studies from Oakland University, Curtis experienced an internal battle with depression that led him to question God and his lifelong interest in Swedenborgian theology. After a period of intense suffering, he recovered from his depression with the help of modern medicine, therapy, and a return to the spiritually uplifting messages he found in Swedenborg’s writings. Now, Curtis is applying his education and desire to help others find peace through Swedenborg’s insights by producing and hosting this weekly webcast. Rev. Dr. Jonathan S. Rose is the series editor of the New Century Edition, an ongoing project that incorporates the latest scholarship to produce a modern, accessible translation of Emanuel Swedenborg’s theological works. Holder of a B.A. and a M.Div. in religion and a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Latin, he has worked for years in the study of Neo-Latin and in Swedenborgian research. He was both chaplain and a tenured professor of religion and sacred languages at Bryn Athyn College before taking on his current position with the Swedenborg Foundation. Karin Childs attended Swedenborgian schools from preschool through college. While raising five children with her husband, Jon, she applied her love of the Bible and Swedenborg's writings to volunteer work creating Sunday school programs and church pageants. Concepts from Swedenborg's works were crucial to Karin in dealing with the death of their oldest daughter. For 17 years, she and Jon ran a small publishing company to produce Swedenborgian books, including three novels that Karin wrote and books addressing loss and grief. She feels blessed to have been asked by her son Curtis and the Swedenborg Foundation to help respond to a growing audience and write shows. Chelsea Odhner is the Production Manager for offTheLeftEye and a writer for Swedenborg & Life. A lifelong Swedenborgian, Chelsea’s self-study of Swedenborg began in her early twenties when she was determined to make changes in her life and behaviors. Alongside a deep study of yoga practice and philosophy, Chelsea has found Swedenborg’s worldview to be the best hub to connect all the spokes of different faiths and philosophical perspectives that she values. Initially interested in pursuing a career in integrative medicine, her path has led her to focus on serving the spiritual side of health and well-being. ★☆★REACH OUT★☆★ Want to be a featured guest on our show or have an offTheLeftEye team member appear on your show?

Regeneration: How Radical Love is Born

We're all born into our life on earth, but our development doesn't stop once we're here. Swedenborg learned that we are regenerated or "born again" as we progress spiritually.

10 Questions: Psychopaths, Miracles, and Effective Prayer

Curious about life's greatest mysteries? This Swedenborg and Life original series seeks to find answers about this life from the afterlife. Click below on Show More for full episode description, free book downloads, and contact info. In this episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation and featured guests take ten questions from viewers and provide insights with the help of eighteenth-century scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual writings. Ten original viewer questions featured in this episode: If it's the Lord's desire for all of us to be saved and happy forever, how does that work with the inner nature in all of us that Swedenborg says cannot be changed? (We are same forever?) How old was Swedenborg when his visions started? Can evil spirits act through people, psychopaths for instance? Those who seek to intentionally harm us? How do you connect with the Lord when you don't feel he is winning and your mind and your ego tells you hell is stronger? What is meant by the meek shall inherit the earth? Based on Swedenborg's view, what kind of prayer can be considered the best or the most effective prayer? What is the best time, place, words, and method for prayer? Some religions believe in miracles, but do miracles really come from heaven and do these inhibit the divine design or what a person is supposed to follow?; What about being able to have “supernatural” powers? Are the miracles of Jesus possible to do by anyone? Always so curious about magic etc. Was Swedenborg a follower of Jesus Christ? He refers to the Lord, but I wonder how he viewed Christ. I love that you have shared that Swedenborg said not to judge others' paths. Yet I find myself judging myself very harshly as I try to become more spiritual. Any thoughts on this? Why is it that you sometimes meet someone that you have never met before but yet you feel as though you know them? Is this to do with your past life?

10 Questions: Negative Self-Talk, Redemption, and the Size of Angels

In this episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation and featured guests take ten questions from viewers and provide insights with the help of eighteenth-century scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual writings. Ten original viewer questions featured in this episode: What if your last days on earth you caused more pain than your lifetime and left your children a legacy of anger and divided a family? How do you just get to go to heaven in a loving community? Does Swedenborg talk about the Higher Self? If God is omniscient then why would He allow evil? Why did He just not create anything He knew would be bad? How do evil spirits get a second chance at Redemption? Reincarnation has been presented as a way for evil spirits to redeem themselves by coming back again and again until they got everything corrected. If you want to live in hell, do you feel your soul or body? I am wondering how ES would speak of free will vs. the effects of spirits both good and evil. So is Swedenborg saying that our thoughts are not our own but they all come from the Spirit World??? My late wife was a loving, kind and very generous lady, but she did not believe in a GOD. Is she destined to go to hell or will I meet her in heaven? What do angels look like? Are they huge? Hi, I’m a new listener. How do you stop negative self-talk and live in the light?

10 Questions: Astrology, Astral Projection, and Too Much Love

Curious about life's greatest mysteries? This Swedenborg and Life original series seeks to find answers about this life from the afterlife. In this episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation and featured guests take ten questions from viewers and provide insights with the help of eighteenth-century scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual writings. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbV9a-Ey0tk Ten viewer questions featured in this episode: I’m curious as to the views on astrology. Hinduism is quite deep into birth stars/nakshatras. What were Swedenborg’s views on this subject? Is there a difference between astral projection and what Swedenborg experienced in the afterlife? Is it possible to stray so far from God’s love that when we realize our error we can’t get the love back? Or can we have that love (closeness) back that we once had? Are all angels good? If spiritual struggles help us seek God, is there ever a time in life when we no longer have to struggle against evil and can still seek God? Or would that mean we are done here on Earth? Will we have to deal with hellish influences on occasion when we reach heaven, for future spiritual development? What do you think about being too emotional? What about being too loving, that it’s weird in this world? When you die, does everyone know your business from while you were on the earth? Are people shamed into hell? In one of your previous videos, Curtis stated that Swedenborg claimed there were humans from other planets in the spiritual world. Did Jesus die for those humans, too? In other words, was Jesus born and crucified simultaneously on many different planets? How would you respond to someone who says that all Muslims, Buddhists and people from all other religions besides Christians are going to hell?

10 Questions: Anger, Aliens, and the Inverted Trinity

“When that 'I don’t know' plunges off the head into the heart, the philosopher dies and the mystic is born." This Swedenborg and Life original series seeks to find answers about this life from the afterlife. In this episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation and featured guests take ten questions from viewers and provide insights with the help of eighteenth-century scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual writings. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR-9BSwwgx0 Ten viewer questions featured in this episode: Is anger evil? And how do we combat anger issues? If God did not create the hells, then who created it? Does Swedenborg write about other types of intelligent life in the universe, like humans? I wonder if extraterrestrials would also be spirits just like us, and exist with us in the afterlife. So are we constantly being judged? And if so, is it for our own good out of love? What does "we are saved by grace" mean according to Swedenborg? So is the most recent Last Judgment the last last judgment or will there be others? If God is love itself, then why does he want to be praised high and worshipped? Did ES talk about taking the Bible literally or more by symbolism? What does Swedenborg think has gone wrong with the Trinity when someone tries to mass murder people? When I seek counsel for something, to seek if it’s a wrong or right thing to do, who do I know who’s voice is guiding me?

Spiritual Questions Answered 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdCvn_FpCoc Spiritual Questions Answered 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdQHFQpfhCc Our philosophically-minded panel is here to answer your questions about God, existence, the afterlife, religion, spirituality, and more! In this episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation and featured guests take questions from viewers and provide answers with the help of 18th-century philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual insights. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hE70Ad1ku4 Discussion points: [Are there] senses on the other side—feeling, touching, smelling, intimacy? 1:47 Has the universe existed from all eternity, like God? 7:22 Does Swedenborg make any statements about a rapture type of event? I don’t think it is very plausible. 11:54 Why doesn’t God correct the heart in a way that doesn’t involve a chaotic type world as earth/humans? 17:03 Can people who go to hell repent and do angels try to get them to change their minds and turn to good? 26:08 What does Swedenborg have to say about the sleep paralysis phenomena?

Was Swedenborg Crazy?

So we’ve been talking about Emanuel Swedenborg and his accounts of the material and spiritual worlds for a full year now, but there may be some people wondering how his claims to have visited the afterlife could possibly be true. When this 18th-century Swedish Renaissance man wrote and published volumes of firsthand accounts of heaven and hell, evil spirits, and heavenly angels, did he really see all of those things? Was it all in his head? In this special anniversary episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation utilizes the help of an esteemed psychologist and theological scholars to explore Swedenborg and the historical and anecdotal evidence of his sanity and character.

The reason we cannot be reformed unless we have some freedom is that we are born into evils of all kinds, evils which need to be taken away if we are to be saved. They cannot be taken away unless we see them within ourselves, admit that they are there, then refuse them and ultimately turn away from them. Only then are they taken away. This cannot happen unless we are exposed to both good and evil, since it is from good that we can see evils, though we cannot see what is good from evil….” Heaven and Hell 597-598 “...all in hell, how many soever they may be, when viewed in the ordinary light of heaven, appear like each other, and also speak alike, so that you would believe them to be one and the same person, when yet they are innumerable…” Spiritual Experiences 4584 “When [evil spirits] are applied, then they induce agony of the spirit, by means of tedium, which they increase and inspire continually, and thus they add impatience, which begets the greatest suffering and induces such weakness of body that [the man] can scarce raise himself from bed. This was shown me by this means: when they were present, such a weakness took possession of [me], and when they were removed, it ceased, in proportion as they were removed. They also employ many arts, so as to infuse weariness and thence weakness." -Spiritual Experiences 4587 “Evil spirits stir up our falsities and evil, as mentioned. From our memory they stir up everything we have ever considered or committed since childhood. Evil spirits are able to do this with such consummate skill and malice that words cannot describe it.” Secrets of Heaven 751 "While I was going to bed the evil spirits overhead attacked with a plan to destroy me, deliberating to call forth against me all of hell, and all evil and treacherous spirits whatsoever…. It also seemed as if I were being let down among them—for otherwise they were overhead, in fantasy lifting me up into their midst, so that I was now surrounded by them…. When they had clung for some time to these fantasies, perpetrating whatever they were able, while I lay in safety, fearing nothing, only reflecting on the things they were up to, finally upon realizing the fruitlessness of their effort, they withdrew, admitting that it was of no use." -Spiritual Experiences 3851 "Spirits complained that they could no longer be present. Because I was abiding in the higher knowledge of faith, it was not permitted to entertain objections. They said that then they have nothing by which they can lead—saying also, by which they can mislead—for by their objections they very much mislead mankind." -Spiritual Experiences 3614 “These combats are carried on by means of truths of faith which are from the Word. We must fight against evils and falsities from these; if we fight from anything else, we do not conquer, because the Lord is not in anything else.” -Secrets of Heaven 8962

Its ‘light’ is the truth of faith and resulting intelligence. Therefore it is likened to ‘a jasper stone, shining like crystal’… The wall of the city is described as jasper because ‘the wall’ means the truth of faith protecting the church.” —Secrets of Heaven 9872 “‘And twelve gates.’ This symbolizes all the concepts of truth and goodness by which a person is introduced into the church.” —Revelation Unveiled 899 “‘Three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.’ This symbolically means that concepts of truth and goodness...are provided for people who possess more or less love or affection for goodness, and for people who possess more or less wisdom or affection for truth.” —Revelation Unveiled 901 “Each gate was of one pearl because all the concepts of truth and goodness symbolized by the gates and by pearls relate to a single concept, one that is their containing vessel, and that single concept is a concept of the Lord.” —Revelation Unveiled 916 “Truths present within knowledge on the level of the senses act as a foundation. These truths are described in John, in the Book of Revelation, by the precious stones forming the foundations of the wall of the Holy Jerusalem coming down out of heaven.” —Secrets of Heaven 10252[4] “The city's length, breadth and height are said to be equal in order to symbolize the fact that everything connected with that church springs from the goodness of love. For length symbolizes the goodness of love, and breadth the truth emanating from that love, and height symbolizes goodness and truth together in every degree.” —Revelation Unveiled 907 “Because the Africans are of this character, a revelation has at this day been made to them, which is spreading in all directions from the quarter where it originated, but has not yet reached the seas...I have heard the angels rejoicing over this revelation because by its means communication is opened up with the human rational” True Christianity 840 “The same ones who were there, afterwards related that they have long had revelations from heaven, and that thence was their religion, and that it has been promised them that many things should be revealed to them, and, finally, touching God. They knew many things about heaven and hell which Christians are ignorant of. It was perceived that those in the earth, with whom there is thence communication and influx, were about the region of Africa, partly also in Asia, rather near the Indian Sea, but not in the immediate neighborhood of the sea.” Spiritual Experiences 4774 “However, [the angels] themselves have only slight hope for people of the Christian church, but more hope for a people distant from the Christian world and removed from its intrusions. They are the kind of people who can accept spiritual light and become heavenly, spiritual individuals. The angels also said that deeper divine truths are being unveiled to these people at the present day and are being accepted with a spiritual faith—that is, in their lives and their hearts.” Last Judgment 74 “Anyone who knows anything of the Lord's coming, and of the New Heaven and New Church, thus of the Lord's kingdom, should pray that it may come...” Revelation Unveiled 956

When anyone there is thinking about someone else because of a desire to talk with her or him, that other person is immediately present. They see each other face to face. The same thing happens when someone is thinking about someone else because of a loving affection, but in this case the result is a union, while in the former case it is only presence. This phenomenon is unique to the spiritual world. The reason is that everyone there is spiritual. It is different in the physical world, where all of us are material. In this physical world, the same thing is happening in the feelings and thoughts of our spirits, but since there is space in this world, while in the spiritual world there only seems to be space, the things that happen in the thoughts of our spirits come out in actions there.” Divine Providence 29 “Angels can recognize the nature of our unique essence on the basis of nothing more than a brief conversation with us. From hearing the tone of our voice angels sense what we love; and from hearing what we say, angels sense our level of understanding.” True Christianity 778 “Because individual thoughts contain so much, just a single word produced by thought reveals to angels what a spirit or a person is like. This too was confirmed by experience. When the mere word truth was spoken (which was done by a large number of spirits one after another), I could instantly hear whether the word was hard, rough, soft, childlike, treasured, innocent, full, empty, unsound, insincere, closed, or open, and to what extent. In short, the actual quality of the underlying thought was audible. And this was only at a general level. What about at the level of detail that angels perceive?” Secrets of Heaven 6623 “When we are being faced with our deeds after death, angels who have been given the task of examining look searchingly into the face and continue their examination through the whole body, beginning with the fingers first of one hand and then of the other and continuing through the whole. When I wondered why this was so, it was explained to me. The reason is that just as the details of our thought and intention are inscribed on our brains because that is where their beginnings are, so they are inscribed on the whole body as well, since all the elements of our thought and intention move out into the body from their beginnings and take definition there in their outmost forms...” Heaven and Hell 463 “Truth is the form of good, that is to say, when good is formed so as to be perceived intellectually.” Secrets of Heaven 3409 “We may gather how great angels' wisdom is from the fact that in heaven there is a communication that involves everyone. The intelligence and wisdom of one individual is shared with another: heaven is where everyone shares everything of value. This is because the very nature of heavenly love is to want what is one's own to belong to another; so no one in heaven regards his or her good as authentically good unless it is someone else's as well. This is also the basis of heaven's happiness. Angels are led into it by the Lord, whose divine love has this same quality. I have also been granted knowledge, by experience, of this kind of communication in the heavens. Once some simple people were taken up into heaven, and after they had arrived, they arrived also at an angelic wisdom. They understood things they could not grasp before and said things they could not express in their former state.” Heaven and Hell 268

The Shape of Heaven

How is heaven organized? And what does the body we all wear around every day have to do with it?

This is because variety arranged in a heavenly form makes perfection...and variety occurs where there are many individuals.” Heaven and Hell 68, 71 “The eye, or rather its power of vision, has a particularly strong correspondence with the communities in the other world devoted to the beauties of paradise. These communities appear high up, out in front, and a little to the right, where a lifelike display of gardens is presented to view. The gardens contain trees and flowers of so many genera and species that by comparison the number of different kinds on the whole planet is small. Every object in those gardens incorporates some element of understanding and wisdom, which shines out from it. You might even say that along with [the flowers], specimens of understanding and wisdom fill these parks. Those are the things that move the community members from deep inside, gladdening not only their eyes but also their mind...this heaven is divided into several heavens, to which every feature in the chambers of the eye corresponds.” Secrets of Heaven 4528 “A man I had known in bodily life-though I had not known his disposition or deeper feelings-talked with me several times in the other life, but only briefly and from a distance. He revealed himself in a general way through entrancing representations. He was able to create pleasures for the eye (such as colors of every kind and lovely colored shapes), to insert images of little children wearing beautiful adornments, as angels do, and to add many other attractive, agreeable sights. He worked by exerting a soft, gentle influence on a membrane in the left eye. By these methods he stole into the affections of other people, in order to please them and enhance their lives. Angels told me that people like this are associated with the membranes of the left eye, and that they provide a link with paradisal kinds of heavens, where truth and goodness are represented in the form of substance….” Secrets of Heaven 4412 “[Spirits and angels] in the universal human who correspond to the hands, arms, and shoulders are the ones with power, which they receive through religious truth that springs from goodness. People devoted to this kind of truth have the Lord's power, because they attribute all power to him and none to themselves. The more they disclaim any personal power, not with their mouth but in their heart, the greater the power they have. That is why angels are called powers and authorities.” Secrets of Heaven 4932 “Those Belonging to the Province of the Earlobe: There was a spirit with me who flowed rather forcefully into my thought, whenever I was treating about matters concerned with Providence (such as the concern that I might not receive a response from the printer); and each time I was driven into anxious thoughts about this matter. Then I was told that it was a spirit belonging to the province of the outer ear, and in fact the earlobe, or fleshy appendage hanging below the cartilaginous part, or rather, where the thick membranous cartilage is, who was doing this. And it was told that he had been of a mind in the life of the body that when he had prayed for something, and had not obtained it, he would become very indignant, and come into doubt concerning Providence - and yet, when he was outside of that state of mind, he still practiced piety, obediently, as the elders had instilled into him. These are those who are imbued with simple obedience.” Spiritual Experiences Minor 4813 Footage used from: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Protein-Dynamics-in-Individual-Human-Cells-Experiment-and-Theory-pone.0004901.s012.ogv http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Humanrbc1000x.jpg

How Different Religions Coexist in Heaven

Is there a way for people with different opinions and beliefs to live in harmony? Could the human race actually be better off because of its differences?

The different ways he is worshiped-in variations that stem from the difference of activity from one community to another-do not cause harm but bring benefit, because they are a source of heaven's perfection. It is hard to explain this in such a way that it can be grasped without resorting to expressions usually found in academic circles and using them to explain how a perfect whole is formed from a variety of elements. -Heaven and Hell 56 “Almost all who come into the next life from the world think that hell is the same for everyone and heaven is the same for everyone, when in reality there are unlimited differences and variations in either case. Hell is never exactly the same for one person as for another, nor is heaven—just as there is never one person, spirit, or angel who is exactly the same as another. When I merely entertained the thought that there could be two people precisely the same or identical, it aroused horror among those in the world of spirits and among the angels of heaven. “All unity is formed out of harmony among many,” they said. “The way that the many harmonize determines what kind of unity they have. No monolithic unity lasts, only the unity created by harmony. So every community in the heavens forms a single unit, as do all the communities—or the whole of heaven—taken together. The Lord alone makes this happen, and he does so through love.” -Secrets of Heaven 457 “One angel calculated only the most general kinds of joy experienced by spirits (in other words, inhabitants of the first heaven) to be around 478. This indicated how countless the less general kinds must be, and how innumerable the specific kinds that make up each general kind. And considering how many kinds there are in that heaven, you can see how unlimited must be the kinds of happiness in the heaven of angelic spirits and how many more yet in the heaven of angels.” -Secrets of Heaven 457 “In the heavens, all forms of perfection increase as numbers increase. This is because there is one goal for everything there and a unanimous focus of everyone on that goal. That goal is the common good; and when this rules, there is benefit to individuals from the common good and from the good of individuals to the good of the whole. This happens because the Lord turns everyone in heaven toward himself and in this way makes them one with himself. Anyone with a little rational enlightenment can figure out that the unanimous harmony of many people, especially from such a source and with such intimacy, brings forth perfection.” -Heaven and Hell 418 “If there are to be all these elements in...heaven, it cannot be made up of the people of one religion only. It needs people from many religions; so all the people who make these two universal principles of the church central to their own lives have a place in that heavenly person, that is, in heaven. They enjoy the happiness that suits their own nature.” -Divine Providence 326 “Every community in heaven is growing in numbers daily, and the more it grows, the more perfect it becomes. In this way, not only is the community perfected, but heaven in general is perfected as well, since the communities constitute heaven.” -Heaven and Hell 71

What God Looks Like

He appears in two places, in one for the right eye and in another for the left, noticeably far apart. For the right eye he looks just like a sun, with much the same fire and size as our world's sun. For the left eye, though, he does not look like a sun but like a moon, with similar brilliance but more sparkling, and with much the same size as our earth's moon; but he seems to be surrounded by many apparent lesser moonlets, each similarly brilliant and sparkling. The reason the Lord appears in two places, so differently, is that he appears to people according to their receptiveness...the reason he appears to the eyes is that the deeper levels of the mind see through the eyes, looking from the good of love through the right eye and from the good of faith through the left eye. You see, everything on the right side of an angel or one of us corresponds to what is good and yields truth, while everything on the left side corresponds to that truth that comes from what is good.” -Heaven and Hell 118 “Since the regions are variations in the way angels accept love and wisdom, I need to say something about the variety that gives rise to the appearance. As I explained in the preceding section, the Lord is in each angel, and each angel is in the Lord. However...it looks as though the Lord as the sun were outside angels...when [angels] are engaged in the love for him that comes from him, they do see him straight ahead, so they are in the east or the west. When they are more engaged in wisdom, though, they see the Lord off to the right, and when they are less engaged in wisdom they see him off to the left, so they are respectively in the north or the south.” -Divine Love and Wisdom 125 “Since angels do not perceive an invisible Divine Being (which they call a formless Divine) but a visible Divine Being in human form, it is common practice for them to say that only the Lord is a person, and that they are people because of him. They also say that each of us is human in proportion to our acceptance of him.” -Heaven and Hell 80 “[There is] one God, who can be seen, within whom is the God that cannot be seen, like a soul in a body. This is the only way we can form a partnership with God, because we are earthly and we think in earthly ways; and such a partnership must be formed in our thinking and then in the desires that belong to our love. This occurs when we think of God as a human being.” -True Christianity 787 “While the created universe is not God, it is from God; and since it is from God, his image is in it like the image of a person in a mirror. We do indeed see a person there, but there is still nothing of the person in the mirror.” -Divine Love and Wisdom 59
