I am not afraid to die I can't wait to see my mom and sister and loved ones again...i am getting older in year's and all my family is gone to heaven now it's just my cat and I after my cat passes away she is my last animal, I will be happy to go,,,I have a lot of physical problems and still work, as a nurse I have to live..but my health is not good,,,it's just kitty and I
Working as a nurse means you have a caring heart, B G! Glad you're not afraid to make the transition across the veil, and may you enjoy your remaining days here with your beloved cat. Wishing you peace and smooth sailing!
Hi B G. I see you like big band leader Glenn Miller. I care for my grandmother, Louise Tobin Hucko. She sang with Benny Goodman a many other greats back in those days. Check her out on TH-cam or you can Google her name: Louise Tobin Hucko. She is a healthy 102 years old as of 11/11/20. I have been asking myself, why is she still here? All 10 of her siblings are gone. All but a few friends still come to visit. She still gets many calls from all over the world. Her last gig was in her early 80s. She and her husband, Jazz clarinetist, Michael Hucko, performed for Princess Diana & Prince Charles just before that. You might enjoy her songs too🎤 I am always praying that when her time comes, the good lord takes her when she is sleeping. She is strong minded, but her little body is weakening more each day. I don't understand Gods purpose for us at such an age where you need to have help to survive. I tell her she is here to see the next Presidential election...lol.
@@auntiekk2753 @Auntie KK thank you for sharing this about your beloved grandmother! She sounds like an incredible person, who lives an incredible life! Melissa here - my grandmother is in the same boat, having outlived her husband and 7 of her 9 siblings, not to mention many friends who passed on before her. I think she would LOVE to move on, and yet she's really quite healthy and active! Sometimes I think maybe they're still here for US, to teach us something? Or provide us opportunities to show more love! Swedenborg had some ideas about why we die when we do, which we talk about in this short clip: th-cam.com/video/PeWLcooxRGg/w-d-xo.html and in the episode "Does My Life Matter?" (I have it cued to this part of the episode, but the whole thing is worth a watch!). th-cam.com/video/33FfPQsf_zU/w-d-xo.html Here is what Swedenborg wrote about why we die when we do: "There are four reasons why people die as children, adolescents, adults, or old men and women: 1. on account of their use to people when in the world; 2. on account of their use to spirits and angels when in the world, because a person is with spirits as to his or her inward elements and is there with them as long as he or she is in the world; 3. on account of the use to themselves in the world, either so that they may be regenerated, or so that they may be let into their own evils lest they lie as it were asleep and later erupt, which would result in the person’s eternal ruin; 4. thus on account of the subsequent usefulness in the other life, after death and to eternity . . ."(Spiritual Experiences §5003) I hope that's useful to you! And I hope you and your grandmother are doing well!
Hi my friend how are you doing? I understand exactly what you said. It’s just me and my dog. It can be a really really lonely world out there and all I can say is take good care of yourself and try and be happy as we all know that life’s way too short. God Bless you and stay healthy and safe in this crazyyyy world we live in. 🙏🙏🙏
My father died in 2001 before my 15th birthday. I had my first dream with him on my bday, his funeral was the very next day. He was comforting me, letting me know everything will be ok. I have communicated with my dad in my dreams since then. I haven’t had any dreams with him lately but I believe this is his soul reaching out and it brings me much peace❤️ now, my mother is battling cancer and i am so afraid to lose her. Im afraid to feel this loss again. This channel is so very helpful ☀️
Our hearts go out to you, Ivette. Your post illustrates the real paradox of both the pain of loss, and the comfort of continued connection after death. It warms our heart that you find the ideas on our channel to be truly helpful. May the experience of peace about your father carry you through the sorrow of your mother's departure -- you can look forward to the peace of continued connection with her too, eventually. Perhaps you've already seen this, but just in case, here's our show called "Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" -- youtu.be/ 9gdngWOvKas Prayers to you as you see your mother through her journey with cancer, and may you be fully conscious of the blessing of each day she is still here with you. Sending love and peace.
My heart goes out to you, Queen. It's so shocking to have such a sudden departure of a loved one. Did you find any hopeful ideas in this video? May God soothe your aching heart.
Someone that I loved more than myself committed suicide in 2017. I still can't cope. He was agnostic the last I heard. Life is so painful now I just want to die. I keep in mind that God didn't call everyone in the spirit in this life. So I'm hoping that at some point that EVERYONE will get that chance at some point. Surely God wouldn't create people and not give them a chance to make it to heaven.
@@jessegrider5301 Jesse, I'm so sorry for this terribly painful loss. My heart aches for you. God never stops reaching out to people, calling them in spirit, and that will continue in the afterlife. God clearly sees all that a person has been dealing with throughout their lives, and can reach past that pain into the deeper places in a person's spirit, to gradually bring healing and clarity. So, please to not worry about your loved one. God loves him more than you can imagine. Please see this short video, "Do Suicides Go to Hell?" th-cam.com/video/NQXg57qjm7g/w-d-xo.html And also our panel discussion in response to a question about a loved one who died of suicide, starting at about 22 minutes 18 seconds: th-cam.com/video/7b--acA4jQY/w-d-xo.html We are all sending much love to you, and wishing you healing and peace!
I lost my dad to a sudden cardiac arrest a year and a half ago...still struggling to live life without him...loved him so much and miss him every moment of every day...this video gives great solace knowing i will meet him again in the afterlife...waiting eagerly to see him again😪♥️🙏🙏
Chandra that is incredibly hard... I am sorry there was no notice. No chance for closure I guess. I bet he was a wonderful father. Yes knowing you will meet him again makes all the difference.
I asked my father before he died well I know you do you think we will know each other again and he said, did you know before that was a very very profound answer think about it it’s only one time family
I love God,i keep judging myself since im not perfect.it pains me to offend Him.i wanna be faithful but my weaknesses get the better of me.There are times i feel close to Him and most of the time im miles away.LordJesus have mercy on me
Maboki, I can feel your sincerity, my friend! According to Swedenborg, when we open to God He is with us immediately. Your desire for His influence is enough to bring you exactly what you need to move forward! God bless you, my friend. Keep on keeping on!
death after life and coming back I went through a tunnel it was so fast the speed like a feather so light so beautiful I reach to the end was a white image very bright light and he said go back theres people who need you. I came back it was so peaceful so loving and since then I’ve been helping many people
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience with us, Ivone! It sounds as if you have been sharing love and joy and usefulness ever since you came back, and that is so inspiring! I wonder if our episode about near death experiences would resonate with yours? Check it out here, if you want to! "The Framework Behind All Near Death Experiences" th-cam.com/video/xyEZCvThKdU/w-d-xo.html Hope that's useful, and thank you for sharing what you witnessed! God bless!
I have the same history like you the doctors confirmed my death 1995 but I can't explain everything because we don't have in this world what I have seen the colour,people, environment at the end I remember go back and after my people and Russia doctors were very wonderful about near my bed after 7 hours coma.
In 1991 I had a near death experience, it was so wonderful, I’m no longer afraid to die , I had to come back for my daughter , she was only 15 , and pregnant, I had to be here for her , I’m so looking forward to leaving this World 🌎, I want to go home my Heavenly Home !
Wow, Debbie, I'm so glad for you that you had such a wonderful experience, and so much hope for your spiritual life! It's so encouraging to hear that. I bet your daughter is very glad you came back, though! It must be difficult to know what awaits and still be here - but we are so glad you're here to share your experience! Sending love!
@@offTheLeftEye hey I want to tell you about an experience that I interview with an near-death experience Survivor was very unique and very different. I met the Spanish woman in a Tacoma Fred Meyers and Tacoma Washington. I somehow brought up about near death experiences with her I don't know why but I did. She looked back and forth she didn't want people to listen to what she was saying to me. Very conservative woman and she says in a exasperated voice, I have not told this to my relatives or my friends or anybody but when I was in the operating room, I saw this nurse in the operating room. I asked her to come over. She said to her, I am so worried about my husband and my children do you know anything about them or where are they at? Obviously a regular everyday nurse would not know that information. In this case she said, the nurse said your husband and your children are fine. Your husband is cooking dinner in the kitchen and your kids are playing in the living room. So the Spanish woman looked me in the face with exasperation and she said, how did she know that! And I asked her did her lips move when she was communicating this information to you. And she said no! They were not moving. I told her that our events on this Earthly plane are constantly monitored and recorded in the afterlife. Jesus said this thing that blew me away and she said she was wearing a dress. And she was also wearing a white hat on top of her head with a large Red Cross! And I thought to myself holy crap! Here we are 2021 and recently had surgery and she's talking about a nurse wearing a nurse's uniform from the early 1900s. What do you make of this?
My heart goes out to you, Allen. It's so painful to be separated from beloved family members. I believe that they can feel your thoughts, love and prayers across the veil! 💗
I too Allen. My mother passed when I was 12 then my father followed 10 years one month and one day later. I lost my two older brothers both in the month of March four years apart. 2011 and 2015. We have many that love us unconditionally. I have tried to learn all I can about life after the death of our earthly bodies. It is the quest that I believe I signed up for with my family going home early before me. Much love to you.
My late husband passed away in June of 2015. He had both legs amputated...the last leg was on our wedding anniversary June 17th. He passed away June 27th..ten days later...but before he died....all his children were there...brothers and sisters...him and I had our last conversation on June17th....as they took the tube out of his throat...his eyes opened and he became alert and he started looking around the hospital room. I was on the right side of his bed... holding his hand. He look towards the left ...then everyone said....he's looking for you Janice. Once he saw me? He smiled...tears came to his eyes and he immediately went to sleep with a smile. I believe there is a God that sits high and looks down low. I wanna see Jesus someday.
Janice, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment with your husband, it's so sweet and loving. I have absolutely no doubt that you are right - there is a God, your husband lives on in the spiritual world, and you WILL meet Jesus someday! God bless you!
@@offTheLeftEye That’s one of the many promises He left us with. He is preparing a place for us. And I eagerly await the sight of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ 🙏🏼.
@@janewanjiruk7752 I hear you! Our approach is different, and you have to decide if it resonates as true for you, or not! Here's a little background on what we share, and why we share it! I hope it is helpful! On this channel we share information written down by Swedish scientist turned theologian, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), which he learned through 27 years of direct experiences of seeing into the afterlife. Everyone is free to decide whether to believe that information or not. He was a devout reader of the Bible, and believed his works were showing the rest of us what he learned to be the inner meanings contained in scripture! The Bible tells us it contains an inner meaning, and here are some quotes that indicate this: “All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). “If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12). “To you it’s been given to know the mysteries of God’s kingdom, but to the rest, in parables, so that seeing, they would not see, and hearing, they would not hear” (Luke 8:10) “Our competence is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.” (2 Corinthians 3:5-6) “Give ear, my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old” (Psalm 78:1-2). If you would like to learn more about how Swedenborg read and understood the Bible (what it meant to him) check out our episode, "What the Bible Is," th-cam.com/video/v0mE8IDLynE/w-d-xo.html , or this short clip, "It Is Damaging To Take The Bible Literally," th-cam.com/video/eXUXZ8BigDk/w-d-xo.html If you'd be at all interested in hearing how the ideas in this show are grounded in the Bible, I recommend the recorded episodes of this Bible study: www.spiritandlifebiblestudy.com/ And, if you’re wondering whether Swedenborg would be useful in your life, check out this blog post: “Why Read Swedenborg?

We respect your right to decide for yourself whether to accept what Swedenborg learned, or not. Thank you for sharing your perspective on all this, and we are wishing you well. God bless!
@Paul Suchey I think Matthew 25:31-46 is a wonderful parable for bringing clarity to this. By choosing to either help the neighbor, or to ignore the needs of our neighbors, we are choosing throughout our whole lives whether we want to be connected to God and heaven, or not. Because God IS love of the whole human race, and heaven is the reception of that. So, after death, the inner choice of our heart is revealed, as expressed through our deeds and motivations throughout our whole life on earth. God wants to bring everyone into heaven. God loves every single person, and like any loving parent, could never ever choose to reject a beloved child or send that child away. But heaven is a state of selfless neighborly love, and so we are the ones who choose whether to accept the invitation to that state of being, or not. The story of the prodigal son is another great parable about this (Luke 15:11-32). In that story, it is the son who chose to leave, and then the son who later chose to come back to his father. The father had always wanted his son to come home and be with him. Jesus, and the Bible, use parable to tell us about how things are in life and the afterlife.
But Radiance, Arulsamy, accepting the Lord means living a life of kindness and service to others rather than a verbal or intellectual acceptance. Matthew 7:21, Matthew 25:31-46.
What a marvelous gift! One to hang on to tightly. But it must be hard to be apart for twenty years. Bless you as you try to have a meaningful life while still waiting to be with him.
When my husband died in a dream I dreamt am following him through a door but he stopped me and told me I cannot go through the door yet I should go back...
You have to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior first, only if your love ones knew Christ before they died you will be in the same place with them...don't put your hope in false promises...
Uma Haq I’m not scared to die after watching these videos I will be able to see all my family members I have not witnesses a death but it will come soon I can’t wait to see my mom dad aunts uncle grandparents I will be so happy to see them again and to meet the lord
I nearly died once while drowning, and it's true that you see some kind of life flashing by images in your mind ,I really couldn't say what I actually saw that day ,but I'm forever grateful that a guy called Andrew fairley jumped in and saved my life
Tiffany, I'm so so sorry for your loss. That's such a tender place to be, and so recent! My heart goes out to you. I have no doubt your mom is in heaven, sending you love and thinking of you, but free of pain and suffering also! You will see her again! Here are some of our episodes that have helped comfort me after losses: "5 Reunions in the Afterlife," th-cam.com/video/wpWrtwlyvE0/w-d-xo.html and "How to Get a Home in Heaven," th-cam.com/video/vpAA1tByZXw/w-d-xo.html (the second explores life in Heaven in more depth). Thinking of you and sending prayers and love your way, God bless Tiffany!
True when my Mother die she came in my dreams telling me how beautiful it is.I saw her she looked beautiful and she was around beautiful flowers.she was very happy
Wow, Lakay -- What a gift to have that enduring image of your mother! From everything we believe here on this channel, we can affirm that that is an accurate picture! We have many videos on our channel about the life after death, if you'd like to explore. Thanks for sharing your dream, and blessings to you!
My mother the same thing .She was running through this beautiful field of yellow flowers telling me not to cry any more . That she is happy and not to worry about her and for me to stop crying.
My mother passed many years ago but I remember a dream where she was sitting under a tree in a grassy meadow, it was sunny and she was surrounded with flowers. She died of cancer. She said to me “ it’s alright Joan, I am better now” the dream then ended but I have so much comfort from those few words.
First of all my heart goes out To all of you that have lost your Loved ones 🙏🏼❤️ I know each Time A Loss A whole lot of feelings we partake , May The Good Lord of Heaven keep all of you in His Love Amen 🙏🏼
I lost my Mom/best friend/Dad then my brother/ bestest friend ever/ n now my Sis last month to Covid at 66 yrs old , she was a very strong person who gave up the fight...I'm still just as sad as the day my Mama locked eyes with me with one tear rolling down her cheek n telling me she did not want to leave me...will forever haunt my soul...that was the saddest n most terrible day that I will never get over...I miss all of my loved ones but I know now that they all had to go bcus it's really as simple as , "Their time was Up" and one day my time will run out too...I have learned a great deal this time around...May God Bless Us All n May You All Have A Great Journey

Send you Love and warm hugs my love. Do know you are LOVED and you are never alone. Focus on the LOVE within YOU, and you will become ONE with the Grand Infinite Divine Source of Love and Life🔥
I lost my mom on dec 6, 2019.... it's a struggle.... sometimes I may see things in the environment that's a trigger and I sob for hours. Then I pray and I send her my love thru my thoughts and whispers. I thank god for having me send her as my mom ..... I will probably always miss her so much
D., I am terribly sorry for your loss! I can tell that you cherish your relationship with your mom, even now that she is not with you in her physical form. I think it's beautiful that you make an effort to connect with her. I believe she hears you and feels your love. Swedenborg says that it is our love that defines us. Our love is who we are. Our love is what we'll take with us into the next life to share with others. You might find this video useful as you continue to process your loss. It's called, "What Dying Feels Like" th-cam.com/video/W6T9CF0a5M0/w-d-xo.html May you find comfort, connection, and healing, my dear friend. I'm grateful for your presence here and for your heartfelt comment!
I kept asking for one more hug from my mom. eventually, she came to me and gave me a hug. If it were a dream, it was real to me. It dried my tears. You will see your mom again. In the meantime try to be happy, so she can be at peace.
Hi D. Flo, I just lost my mom on Sept. 28, 2020. So I understand how u feel. I was very close to my mom she was my best friend. I hope things have gotten better for u. It has caused me to dig deeper into the Lord and he comforts me. Take note u will see her again when it's your time to go. And I'm sure she will be there waiting for u. Take care..shara

See the thing is I understand what you are saying and I feel the same way but you got to remember we got work to do we as believers have a ministry of reconciliation it is profitable to stay here and reach the people that want to receive the word Amen
We don't go anywhere, we don't see God. We stay "asleep" in the grave waiting for the resurrection. Read Ecclesiastes. God tells us the true condition of the dead. Don't believe in pagan beliefs! That's what Satan wants. He doesn't want us to know the truth.
I lost my mother on 25th May. Life without her is very difficult and painful. I hope she is in better place now. She was everything for me and her sudden death has changed my perspective towards life. I need strength🙏🙏🌸🌸❤❤
Oh, Aryan. I am so sorry for your loss. I can hear the pain in your tone. You're in good company, my friend -- I need strength, too! Not just strength for my physical self but for the spirit inside my body. That is the real me, the me that others can't always see. Thank you for your candor, for allowing us to see into your grieving spirit. We hold your story with tenderness and hope.

I'm so sorry about your heavy heart, Paige. The Lord is eternal love and infinite mercy, and a heart ready to look honestly at one's choices and choose a more loving, less destructive path, will certainly be blessed! "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
All who reject the Baptism of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ is damed for ever. No one gets to Heaven apart from being born again through the Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ our Redeemer. I'm sorry for all who died believeing swedenborg. They are not Born again. They are new age yoga teachers. They don't believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Robert, Chelsea wrote a piece for the Swedenborg Foundation blog, about her Grandfather's experience transitioning out of this world. It made me think of you, since you are anticipating your own departure from the physical world, and I wondered if it would resonate with you? Check it out here: swedenborg.com/7-lessons-about-death-from-a-loved-one-who-died/ Blessings, Robert!
You're very welcome, Anthony! Your mom is most certainly okay, starting a wonderful new phase of life. And I'm sure she stays near you in love and in spirit! Wishing you healing and peace.
When you die , you go to the grave awaiting the return of GOD . Don' t let know one fool you . If you go to heaven , how come they put yiu in a cadket and bury you , or those who cremate . The bible says when Jesus comes again the dead in Christ will rise So please stop this hypocritical teaching. That is nothing but the 👹
And why are you telling me this ! You think someone goes to heaven when they die . If it was so Jesus don' t have to come again . The bible said the dead in Christ will rise first and be caught up in the air to meet him . So if dead people in heaven why is he coming . Go read your bible 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 . Bible facts . Jesus himself went in the grave and rose from the grave .Why would we sinful people go strait to heaven when we die .

@@offTheLeftEye Do you know that you have to Study Paul's word of Grace; to be Approved unto God; and be able to " divide the word of truth " 2TIM2:15 KJV. This is how you are saved. This verse is of the pastoral books. It appears to me that not a lot of Christians know this.
@@markkeetley2225 Are you saying that you believe God condemns people who do not know that particular information? That would be very unreasonable and unfair of God, don't you think? God is Love, Forgiveness, Patience, Mercy, and everything else good. How could pure love penalize someone for ignorance? How could pure love throw away any of his children just because they didn't know one particular set of information? That doesn't sound like a truly Divine Creator to me.

I am 58yrs old. At age 16 I took an overdose of sleeping pills. I remember as if it was yesterday, being very high in what seemed to be the air, looking down at a sheet covered body in a basement morgue; that body was me. I saw Two nurses, one a matron, wearing the larger white triangle type hat, and a younger nurse with her. I then felt a presence next to me, a warm loving presence, yet I could not actually see anyone. Although no words were spoken, I heard the words , "it's not your time yet", then felt a kiss on my cheek. Suddenly I rose up, the sheet falling off my face to my chest, both nurses who I'm sure wheeled me into that room, went pale white, mouths agape..matron a few seconds later asked what my name was, i said Julie, (my name isn't Julie btw lol)... I grabbed the sheet, jumped off a steel gurnie and said " I'm going home" and walked out....I had no home, I was homeless. I knew when I left there (hospital), that I didn't really want to die, I had something to do, but had no idea what it was. I told people about my experience, kids on the sts taking drugs, as a way to stop them from taking them and or taking so many. That presence I called 'someone', but inside I knew who it was. Everywhere I went from that day, jehovah witnesses, Morman's, Christians would all stop me, ask if they could help etc...I'd run the other way lol....but they kept coming, as if chasing me. I got a job, not the best to have, but it put a roof over my head, and I started getting young girls, runaways off the sts, hear their story and would get them to go home where they were safer, by telling them my story and why I could not go home. I married, had children and was born again, age 30. Age 33, I was again taking in kids off the sts, divorced and raising five kids....I've had nearly 200 kids..ohh Abraham!..and still I'm taking little children under my wing...just received two more down the crt 2weeks ago... I am never childless, yet I have no grandchildren as yet. I was also given a spiritual gift of 'foresight' .. you will know what I'm saying. This is a short version of my testimony with Jesus, his blessings and unconditional love.

I lost my mother relatively recently, an angelic and very tormented person who experienced all kinds of bad situations and although I have devoted myself completely to her in recent years trying to make her happy in every way, I feel guilty that I did not offer her enough! Every night I visit her grave and cry
I have no doubt she would want you to let go of any guilt, John! I'm sure that all you were able to offer was enough. No person can provide everything for another person, no matter how much they love them. Right now, your mother is getting help to break free from all that torment, and be healed and guided toward more and more happiness. Your love and efforts will have played a HUGE role in helping her during her final stage on Earth. Small actions of love mean more than you know, and when you cross over your mom, and God, can show you how much good you did -- what an impact your efforts made. For now, please believe that there is nothing to feel bad about. Allow yourself to work through your grief back into walking your own life path and finding happiness. I'm sure that what your mom wants most for you!
I didn’t believe in any of this stuff until my deceased uncle (one of my best friends in life) came to visit me in a dream...he told me a lot of stuff covered in this video. He also looked younger than in life. We were in a sort of “waiting room” with big windows overlooking a panoramic view of a beautiful outdoor setting. My deceased mom was sitting in the room with us, not saying anything, but smiling and full of bliss, looking happier than I have ever seen her in life. I was able to ask him questions and he patiently answered them all. One question I had was: “is there such thing as hell?” And he said no. I jokingly asked him about my dead musical idols (Jimi Hendrix, etc) and he told me that they were there too, but that they weren’t playing the “rock star role” where they were... It was such a strange dream, don’t know if it was real, but it certainly felt like it.
Norman, what an incredible experience! If it felt real to you, that is important! Amazing when we can get those visits. I hope that experience gave you some comfort!
Sorry, but hell IS absolutely real. God is not a liar. He addresses the reality of hell many times, for example; "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8 NIV) What is 'fiery lake of burning sulfur' mean? It means, 'hell'. It's ALSO the place where those who don't belong to Christ go, as well as satan, his fallen angels, 'death' and 'hades', (the temporary waiting/holding pond for those who are dead, or who die before the day of judgement). Jesus said, "“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ” (Luke 16:19-31 NIV) Jesus is not a liar, as God cannot lie. He's WARNING us of what's to come for those who choose self, or worldly ways, over God's ways, which means; surrendering ourselves to serve God. The apostle John was given a 'Revelation' to experience AND to write the experience down as a forecoming WARNING to those who reject God. "Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:11-15 NIV) Anything that is written, or explained that is contrary to the Word of God, is NOT of God and is therefore FALSE, (a LIE) and is designed to cause CONFUSION from satan and those who belong to him. DON'T FALL FOR THE LIES OF SATAN!!! This video is FALSE! There's only ONE WAY to heaven and THAT is through Jesus Christ ONLY! There's NO OTHER WAY! Satan will try to trick us by pretending to be good, when he is NOT. "For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve." (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV)
@@glenturney4750 I respect your beliefs, but I don’t agree that a God of pure love could be described as an all loving benevolent God, if he created a person with the knowledge that their souls were already condemned to burn in such a place. I prefer to think of God as a creator, not a destroyer. Keep in mind that Revelations was an account of a dream someone had. I too had a dream, so why was his dream taken seriously over anyone else’s dream? Is it just because it was included in the Bible? If that’s the test, then why were books removed from the Bible during various epochs, by random popes, etc? Which version of the Bible are we even talking about, because different versions of the Bible are worded differently, not to mention interpreted differently. Which part of the Bible do we interpret literally, and which is meant as a metaphor or parable? I can find plenty of biblical scholars with a simple search that can argue that the Bible doesn’t actually preach the gospel of hell’s existence
@@nomandad2000 I sure agree with you that a loving God wouldn't create a hell and send people there! Swedenborg learned that the Bible is a book of divine allegory and parable. It is not supposed to be taken literally. That causes all sorts of problems, as we discuss in our episode "It Is Damaging to Take the Bible Literally" th-cam.com/video/g2HMeLVgRI4/w-d-xo.html You might find it interesting to delve into our episodes about the deeper meanings in the book of Revelation! Regarding hell, Swedenborg witnessed that there is such a thing, but it is a place created by human hatred rather than by God. Hell is a state of mind in which a person refuses to let go of hatred, vengefulness, greed, hostility, self-centeredness, etc. God is constantly working to encourage people to let go of those things and let kindness and compassion to flow in, but also, God will not force people to be good. We must be left in freedom to choose, because goodness and love are not real unless they are freely chosen. Even in hell, God is constantly working to lead people in a better direction, but it can only go at the rate of each person's willingness. If you are interested in a very different take on what hell is, check out our episode "What Is Hell Really Like?" and see if any of that makes sense to you! th-cam.com/video/gXCO1P6r-Kw/w-d-xo.html

This video doesn't tell the truth! This is my best friend's story. Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day. My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own. As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night. That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no. However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed.... Still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word. He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) He understood he could not pay the price for his sins. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood - because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God - so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan - and you and I - would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today? The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you repented of your sins? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow! Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus alone - today! “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2) "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14

JC, Growing up, I never feared death. I grew up in a funeral home since the age of 8. I love visiting cemeteries, especially those with history as I get a sense of calmness. 8 months ago, I was told I had 5 to 7.5 months to live. Hearing this scared me. I began to fear death. A few weeks ago, I heard a deep voice that said "Fear not I, something something" and have been filled with calmness ever since. I no longer fear it. I keep hearing and seeing the signs.

And while I can't imagine the pain you must feel, I can at least offer some of the fundamentals Swedenborg observed: love transcends time and space -- you and your husband will reunite in the afterlife because of the love you share. The Lord desires that each of us live into eternity with our true loves, growing closer in partnership with them and with the Lord. Your husband is okay, and his love for you will not go away.

You are more than likely aware of this information on Emanuel Swedenborg. After a youth spent studying everything from astronomy and mechanical engineering to anatomy, his deep faith led him into direct contact with the spiritual world.Swedenborg had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. In 1741, at 53, he entered into a spiritual phase in which he began to experience dreams and visions plus Mysticism? 🤔 Mystical experiences are experiences where the recipient feels a sense of 'union' with the Divine. • Mysticism involves the spiritual recognition of truths beyond normal. understanding. What is the caution for Christians towards anyone that claims revelations from God beyond what Scripture might contain? 1 John 4:1 ESV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 Corinthians 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Point! You question everything men/ women do in the name of Christ Jesus and use the scriptures as the sole authority weather right or wrong!😎
@Tony T, welcome to our channel! I'm glad you had a chance to watch one of our videos on the afterlife. I'm glad you love and honor the Bible. We do, too! Jesus indicated that details about the afterlife could not be plainly told at the time he was on earth: “All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). “If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12). We get this information from the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) who called himself a "servant of the Lord Jesus Christ". After an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer, and Bible study, he had a powerful vision of Christ, who opened up Swedenborg's spiritual sight so that he could learn about the afterlife and the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come. We respect that you and everyone must decide for themselves whether to believe that or not, but we do believe it, and that's why we want to share this information. Here's a short video about who Swedenborg is, if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/HEa0e8AcS78/w-d-xo.html

Yeshua/Jesus said, REPENT OR PERISH. He also said, I am the way and the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me. Don't end up in Hell, it is a real place, and is eternal.
Yes! Repentance is an imperative in Swedenborg's view as well. Have you read his work, Divine Providence? It's a really incredible book with a clear call to repentance.

@@melcomepay6668 I think I get what you're saying...my friend's father had died for 5 minutes when he came back he said that where he was he could see clearly. FFWD>>> before his final passing he was seeing things in the spirit realm, like native Americans and people going in and out of the light. While he was passing away he was talking to someone and then he said Elohim right before he finally passed away. From the first time he passed and came back he didn't tell all of what he saw, he just said his vision was clearer than what it was. I can't believe someone would tell all of what they know because their experience is going to be different and they're not supposed to reveal too much. That's why I'm kinda doubtful about this explanation of what happens. Before my great grandma passed she reached up and called out two of her sisters names and 2 weeks later one after the other, they passed away as well and neither were sick or dying. You hear different stories of people dying and coming back to give either a horrific story of hell or a beautif ul story of heaven and I think that's for religious propaganda because they profit off of a book or movie rights to keep people dumb down. I'm not saying there is no creator, I just don't believe all of the man made religious hype.
That's a great question. Swedenborg spend decades of his life while still on earth being able to communicate with angels and spirits. His information came from these encounters...for more information, check out this brief clip: th-cam.com/video/HEa0e8AcS78/w-d-xo.html
Wow this is amazing! Almost everyone here is prepared for death. I’m glad I felt I’m not d only one who is not afraid of death. I lost my mom when I was only 8 yo. My life after my mom completely had changed. I misses her a lot up to this day. Can’t wait to hug her again. And of course to see Jesus Christ. Especially now realizing our world is a hell.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, Nhat Meg. Thank you for watching! Yes, you and your beloved mom will have a joyful reunion someday, with lots of hugs and laughter and togetherness. All genuine love between people comes from the Lord, and so he wants to sustain that love between people, forever! 💗
Same I'm no longer afraid of death but instead I find it joyful and peaceful for at once we will be going home and see our loved ones who passed I believe it with my whole heart ❤️
@Carolyn Ekuka Our channel is dedicated to sharing information written down by Emanuel Swedenborg. After an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer and Bible study, Swedenborg had a powerful vision of Jesus Christ, who opened Swedenborg's spiritual sight, and called him to the mission of learning about the afterlife and the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come. Jesus indicated that there would be more information coming someday: “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25 “If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12). “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12).
@Carolyn Ekuka It's good that you are content to be here on earth until it is your time to cross over! God's Providence is leading all of our journeys.
I hope you get to meet in a profound and obvious way - but even if you don't, Jesus is always with you! God is with all of us. Remember: "nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21). You might like this episode, with ideas for sensing a stronger connection with God: "How God Reaches Us" th-cam.com/video/yaR_mtP9yYc/w-d-xo.html God bless you!
God said " I am in you, and you are in me", I love the lord, I pray ever day, I pray for everyone, you can't listen to what man says, that's why we have the bible. We are all teachers,, " many shall be called, but few shall be chosen, I stand at the door, come in to me, I shall sup with you, and you shall sup with me, many false prophets Will say , he's over here or there he is, no, many shall bear false witness, the lord says,, even the very elite, shall be fooled. You have to keep god's laws , the ten commandments to stay saved. I know the truth, and I share it with anyone who wants to hear, bless you, and you will be in my prayers.
I am the same because I believe there is something deep inside of us that recognises this as true. While watching this I was reminded of something terrible that I had done as a teenager and it made me realise just how deeply ashamed I am of that act. I feel I have changed so much in this life that I find it hard to recognise myself as I was. I am in no way eager to leave this life yet, as I believe I still have more to do here, but at the same time I am excited about the next stage of my journey as well.
@@englishguy215 there is a saying that if you look at your past and feel shame, it's because you have grown since then. I too have done so many things I have felt ashamed of but we also are blessed with the ability to see meaning in our situations, to find the true reasons why we did those things which are usually due to a wound we can then give love to the part of yourself that was underneath that action such as that insecure child who bullied another, the teenager that didn't know how to properly connect so became promiscuous, the adult that didn't know how to deal with their life so turned to drugs. I believe the true God is unconditionally loving, the fact that the Bible has contradictions to this i feel comes more from the Human race not feeling as though they deserve that kind of love.. I feel deep inside that it's important for us to learn to truly forgive yourself Independantly and learn to love yourself Independantly so that we may align with God. For God to be oneness then God would have to love itself Completely. There is a couple great Teachers that I have listened to over the years that have helped me with this, one is Tara Brach another is Ram Dass and the last which gives alot of advice is Teal Swan. Trust the process Brother, of shedding all that isn't truely You, your core is not evil and even the densest mass can be dissolved over time with enough inner work, patience and love. Bless you
I just found you guys and Swedenborg and all I can say is I knew it! I've been looking for answers for years. I will read everything I possibly can and watch all of your videos. Thank you a MILLION times for offering them at no cost. I take care of my 88 year old grandmother and I home school my 11 year old son. I don't work a job for which I earn money and can't afford much. I study and learn all I can on the computer to be self educated. I don't have a college education, however, I can probably give a college graduate or two a run for their money. LOL! I am Christian believer, however, my beliefs are not what most believe. I do currently study A Course In Miracles along with practicing unconditional love for everyone who enters into my life and even those who I feel led to help by perhaps entering into theirs....I feel as if I have found a huge piece to a puzzle I have been working since a child. I've always had more questions than anyone at church could answer as a child and teenager. Then in 2001 with me in my early 20's, a newlywed with a 2 year old daughter, my Mother was brutally murdered by her husband. I had 2 younger sisters by my Mother who were 8 & 9 to raise at that point. 2 years later my Maternal Grandfather who raised me died of a broken heart literally. His heart stopped working. 3 years later in 2006 my sister Emily (the 9 year old ) died in a car wreck 8 days after her 16th birthday. I also had 2 siblings by my Dad a brother & sister, and it was then in 2009 one of my other sisters Jessica (from my Dad) died at 23 with two separate entities of cancer in her precious body. Married with two babies, diagnosed in Sept. and by Jan. 2nd of 2009 she was just gone.... So yes I had many many questions....I Know and have always known that I will see them again one day. This led me to the Near death videos and the stories of thousands which I've read. Dr. Eben Alexander actually was a Dr. here in the town I live in AT the hospital we ALL were born in. I felt that was a sign for me. Maybe, I'll find out one day. I can't express the relief & joy I have in finding you! I love God & I can't wait to see all of my loved ones and further my education of Loving people & helping others. May God Bless You All!!! Namaste, Melanie
Your story had me riveted! I’m a former h.s. English teacher, and in think you should write a book! I’m sorry for such a problematic life that brought you so many miseries. It sounds like you have your act together and have overcome so much adversity that I know you will be happy and at peace now and after death. Many blessings to you❣️🙏💫🌷
Wonderful information on which many unanswered questions and doubts are put to rest .So who was meant to be our soulmates in this physical body would be met in our spiritual body on earth also as spirits is it .? How can one love and be so aligned to another soul when they are not physically together here. We feel their presence ,and know that they belonged sometime in our past life to know their true nature Are there any explanations when their emotions of wanting to be with each belong to the spirit world as natural as it seems .? .Knowing them as if they have lived together Mind vs mind ,heart vs heart . Yet far apart and no contact physically.
Swedenborg learned that it is really important to start out on the physical level, because it acts as a foundation for our eternal identity, as well as acting as a foundation for all of creation, including the spiritual parts of creation. Here are a couple of short clips in which we discuss that: "What's the Point of Having a Physical Body?" th-cam.com/video/LXj8Q2VuPfs/w-d-xo.html "The Essential Connection of the Physical and Spiritual Worlds" th-cam.com/video/Mrx7PRW0l-o/w-d-xo.html
TheKeetkeet66 May be we were? When asked by a reliable medium, or other source ( I mean RELIABLE ,there are lots of fakes) We are sometimes told that we are in school ..the purpose appears to progression! ( Of our souls). Mp
We were created perfect and completely spiritual minded but, Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and when they did, it affected the bloodline of all mankind. However, through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we were made right again. Human beings always have a spirit and a soul but, after the fall, the spirit of mankind died and we only operated through our soul. The soul is the mind, will and emotions. The spirit is part of us that communes with God. We cannot commune with God through our soul alone. This is why Jesus came. We become spiritually minded again and able to communicate with God when we believe on Jesus Christ and receive His blood sacrifice for us. The things spoken in this video are not necessarily untrue. One downside is not explaining how we come to that spiritual awakening. Most likely, it's due to unbelief on their part since Jesus Christ wasn't mentioned once. It's only through Jesus Christ that we can awaken our spirit. The other downside is that getting to Heaven actually has nothing to do with being good bad. Some good people go to Heaven and some bad people go to hell but, there are also some good people who go to hell and some bad people who go to Heaven. It's not based on that. It's based upon whether or not a person receives the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ or not. The Bible makes it clear: If you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and confess him as Lord, you will be saved. That is a paraphrase but, there are many verses about it and in different forms.

B.E. Teklic, I am so sorry to hear of your very recent loss. That must be a huge absence in your life. I know your mom is okay, and is being treated with love and kindness as she tours the spiritual world, preparing for heaven.

The spirit body is within the physical it just vibrates at a higher frequency and that's where the spirit world is we don't go up or down its just a matter of frequency. That's why we cant see rhem after they pass , they are solid in spirit world , this is the illusion .
I hope that is true. It’s not really evidence of a soul. I just wish the people who died so unexpectedly young so suddenly i can see again in some other world. But i just like to think of a realistic standpoint :(
Thanks!!! I love these wonderful Swedenborg's videos. Death is a continuation of life. Death is a begining ...not the end. Life is ''transformed'' into eternal life. Amen!!!!
I'm in tears. I love that even in the afterlife, God still gives us a chance to make changes. Definitely different from what the Bible says. Just another little nugget to make my faith stronger. Blessings and Namaste to my dear people at Off The Left Eye, thank you for this video. I no longer have fear of death. And I'm 32 yrs old, got a lot of life left. This is why my faith in Christianity has been discouraging, difficult, and has added MORE fear and anxiety to me personally. We humans are God's creation, there should be no condemnation. I just hope that God is looking at all of us with a smile.
Here is a quote from True Christianity 56. "God cannot turn away from us or even look at us with a frown. To do any such thing would be against his essence, and what is against his essence is against himself." You are right that God continues to give us freedom, and longs for our happiness above all. Perhaps you know that the most frequent command in the bible is "do not fear." God wants you to feel safe in his love! Take care, Cam.
@@offTheLeftEye So, God doesn't frown upon homosexuals? I ask because so often I see so many heated arguments between pastors on a college campus and people who maybe don't believe in or question God. The pastors hold up the big signs that say Homosexuals REPENT and it's just madness. LBGTQ+ people are born the way they are. They shouldn't be condemned or judged
God absolutely loves everyone, and wants them to be happy. He also asks us not to judge one another, and that keeps me honest. “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." Matthew 7 Working on my own mistakes keeps me busy. God will take perfect care of other people, and I can treat them with respect in the meantime. Take care Cam.
I passed through a tunnel and a light so bright but the light did not hurt my eyes. I came to a beautiful white place. A white color i have never seen . I felt so much love. Here on earth we say I love you to people close to us but it is no where close to the true love I felt there. Two more things happened to me and I just have no words how beautiful it was. Father God, Lord Jesus,Holy spirit I love you . thank you for giving me a second chance of life. Amen
My dear wife love of my life just passed away three months ago and I thought I was gonna lose my mind. Even if these videos are not true, and I really hope they are, they gave a little bit of hope and comfort and the pain became a little bit easier to bear. I really hope to God, Swedenborg and gang are right.
Dear Juan, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. Three months without the love of your life, after years of physical closeness, must be deeply painful. You are not alone in your grief, and I am so glad you felt moved to share with us a window into your personal experience. What you wrote will help others in your same situation! As for Swedenborg, I am so glad to hear that his ideas about the afterlife have lifted your spirit. That is exactly why we're interested in sharing them! Each of us needs nourishment for our bodies, but what's more, we need spiritual food in order to keep going through the rough times. I wonder if this clip might offer you something appealing in this very tender time you're going through.

I included it because I thought it might quench your thirst for ideas about the afterlife. Wishing you peace, comfort, and spiritual discovery as you go about the next chapter of your life! Blessings, Juan!
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. Take it one day at a time. Don't allow anyone to force your grieving process. And become closer to God he will comfort you.
Juan, I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I lost my wife 18 months ago it’s still hard for me but these Swedenborg videos help me cope. I hope they help you too.
God bless u bro im going thru some deep pain in my heart an soul I just lost my wife she was the greatest wife,mother & companion now I just go thru my day asking myself why she was only 40 yrs old I believe in God & I hope this is true I know she's not longer struggling with pain rip my wife love her always ❤
I rarely hear about animals in heaven, I refuse to believe Christ is that shallow to not give the innocent creatures a soul, I watch my dog dream and its conscience is its soul!
Hello, duke! Yes, animals couldn't be alive without a soul. Here's an episode we did called "Are There Animals in the Afterlife?" We believe that there are! See what you think: th-cam.com/video/hK_DW5KTh5I/w-d-xo.html
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you I will watch it. animals were never created to be eaten! this is Satan's fault to try & destroy God's original plan. killing a live creature to eat its flesh is barbaric to me as animals have mastered unconditional love, unlike humans. to say animals could be alive? Christ in the book of Revelation comes back to destroy evil on a white horse, do you think this is symbolic, it's literal. to say just horses are in heaven and nothing else would be ignorant. I know they have souls not maybe. the Holy Spirit has not enlightened your soul about the subject.
@@duke4384 We are agreeing with you that animals have souls, and that there are animals in the afterlife. Also, that animals were not created to be eaten.
@@offTheLeftEye Christ be with you brother. I apologize if I came off wrong. Jesus Christ is my hero & love is lacking nowadays & I have seen other cultures burn dogs & cats alive because they believe it makes the meat tender! total madness.
@@duke4384 what a disturbing scene to witness! I'm so sorry you saw that, and even sorrier that it happened to those poor animals. That seems cruel and immoral by any code! Swedenborg believed that the earliest people did not eat animals, but over time, as we distanced ourselves from God, people began to eat meat. In this episode of "10 Questions," our panel discusses what Swedenborg learned about eating meat at about 28 minutes in: th-cam.com/video/Jb-7BX0ctoI/w-d-xo.html I hope the discussion is interesting and useful to you! I admire your commitment to and love for animals, thanks so much for sharing that love with us! Blessings, duke!
There will be animals in heaven (The Lion will lie down with the Lamb) and God gives us the desires of our heart. So I believe that our fur babies will be there, waiting for us. 💙
Wonderful video. All I know is that I long to go home. And home is where my Heavenly Father is. But it's not my time. So I continue on, doing my best to fulfill my purpose for being here. So many people I love and miss have crossed over. Sometimes I feel so alone here. It's difficult at times, but the Lord is with me. And I am comforted.
I hear you, dear Flossie. It can be very hard to wait, especially when you have more and more loved ones on the other side. Hang in there! I am touched by your faith, and your trust that when the time is right, you will take that wonderful leap into the next phase of your life journey. God bless!
Flossie Tube You are not alone.... continue to fulfill your purpose here..we ALL have one. We are , all of us, brother and sister spirits. So , please ..smile! 🌝❤️..
Amennn my Bruddah. Me too is with you on this all the way.. Let's us always hang on to God's garment as salvation is a promise as long as we trust & believe in him.
When I was 28 for three days I had pains in my right side, each time I went to the energy they said it was something else, my urine was the colour of coffee, my family was called the doctors didn’t think I would last the night. I remember I was climbing stairs and on each step I was greeted by a angle in white, I felt so safe.
Symbol of climbing the stairs meeting a angel t each stage is you travelling up towards god and your life the angels are there to protect you teach you along your way up if you were climbing down that would not have been good
Thank you Would it not be a great thing if this imfo was available in old folks homes What a blessing it would be for them As it is for us all THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
@@Oceanusnovas-um2zf I mean that if you follow scripture and Christian ideals to the letter you are going to get taken advantage of and lose out on many occasions. At 50 years old I speak from retrospective experience and I can tell you I lost out and got taken advantage of because of my Christian ideals. Only recently did I realize this. Most people only follow the word of the Lord and behave accordingly when it is convenient. Few are willing to seek the truth, face the truth, and act accordingly according to their religion in a situation that is not beneficial to their best interest. If you stick with it and they don't in the situation...you will get screwed. That I'd why the hard core Muslims and hard core Jews only deal with and extend their behavior to those of their faith and not others. Sadly, there is merit to this behavior and practice.
@Carolyn Ekuka I'm not willing to die daily. Better to survive with some comfort and prosperity since it makes it a lot easier and more effective with more time to preach Christian ideals.
I'm so glad these concepts could support you during your time of grief, Shellie. Your dear mom's love and presence are most certainly with you, always! 💖
@@ronniedrake8196 the Bible definitely says that! On this channel, we share the theological works of Swedish scientist Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a Bible scholar and devout Christian. Swedenborg began having visions of Jesus Christ and devoted the last almost thirty years of his life to recording what he learned in many volumes - one of the most incredible of his ideas is that the Bible is written in parable, something the Bible actually tells us many times! Here are a few examples: ‘Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. Who among you will give a stone if his son asks him for bread? If then you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask him?” (Matthew 7:7-11) “All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). “If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12). If you would like to learn more about how Swedenborg read and understood the Bible (what it meant to him) check out our episode, "What the Bible Is," th-cam.com/video/v0mE8IDLynE/w-d-xo.html , or this short clip, "It Is Damaging To Take The Bible Literally," th-cam.com/video/eXUXZ8BigDk/w-d-xo.html If you'd be at all interested in hearing how the ideas in this show are grounded in the Bible, I recommend the recorded episodes of this Bible study: www.spiritandlifebiblestudy.com/ If you'd like to hear what we believe "the dead know nothing" means spiritually, check out either of these episodes: Short: "What Does the Bible Mean by 'The Dead Know Nothing?'" th-cam.com/video/tNQNrQDofGY/w-d-xo.html Long: "Why Does the Bible Say 'The Dead Know Nothing'?" th-cam.com/video/2GNzmofUnxM/w-d-xo.html We share this information for anyone who is interested, but we also respect that everyone is on their own spiritual path, and in their own relationship with the Word and with God. We respect your right to decide for yourself whether to accept what Swedenborg learned, or not. Thank you for sharing your perspective on all this, and we are wishing you well. God bless!
Oh wow, a Christian Scientist.. sorry but I’m surprised. Since so many if not, all of them don’t believe any kind of supernatural entity/entities.. idk how many times I’ve heard that
@@meghaneternal-darkness5036 Yes, Swedenborg is unique in that way! In his writings you will find a uniting of religion/spirituality and science. Both come from God, and therefore are supposed to work in harmony! Here's a very short video about a Bible prophecy that Swedenborg learned is talking about a future union between science and spirituality: th-cam.com/video/6Mq4NTiPDKA/w-d-xo.html
I just lost my Dad. We were so close it's like we were one person and when he left me I didn't want to live. He talks to me everyday and I talk to him. He tells me he is fine and he wants me to be happy. Thank you so much for the video which has helped me so much. But may I ask how do you know this is true? I pray it is.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss, Debra Jean. You must be in pain, having loved your dad like you did. I am glad to know, though, that you are in touch with him still! It is the truth, according to Emanuel Swedenborg, that our spirits never die. A spirit (a person) is defined by what she or he loves. And if we love the same things that others do, we are linked to these people forever! That means you will reunite in the spiritual world, when it's your time to enter the afterlife. What I'm sharing now is based on the ideas recorded by eighteenth-century spiritual teacher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). Swedenborg was a brilliant and accomplished scientist who also had a strong background in the Christian faith. In his mid-50s, he went through an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer and Bible study, after which he began to see spiritual visions, and then had a powerful vision of Jesus Christ. Christ called him to a mission of learning about the afterlife and about the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come that Jesus had predicted, when more information would be revealed. Using his scientific skills, Swedenborg meticuolously recorded what he witnessed and learned in the visions that happened daily for about 27 years. We want everyone to decide for themselves whether to believe this information from Swedenborg's books or not, but we find it to be healing information that makes sense out of life and the Bible, and so we want to share it with everyone who is interested. For more information about Swedenborg and his credentials, see the following: "Who Was Swedenborg?" th-cam.com/video/HEa0e8AcS78/w-d-xo.html "Was Swedenborg Crazy?" th-cam.com/video/K_ZP30NFYf8/w-d-xo.html "Splendors of the Spirit: Swedenborg's Quest for Insight" th-cam.com/video/RdzeFKh9_D4/w-d-xo.html "How to Feel the Presence of Angels" th-cam.com/video/TPOKhqowhPE/w-d-xo.html
I know how you feel. I can’t believe that he’s gone. He’s so present in my mind. Still so alive and yet absolutely gone. The pain cuts so deep. I believe in the everlasting life for all of us and yet it hurts
My dad passed at 92, but months later he visited me and was the young, handsome man he once been. He sat on the edge of my bed and told me to tell the rest of my family that he was fine and happy and not to worry about him. Up until that point, he had sent me many signs, but after that visit, I think he is comfortably at home in heaven now, because those signs are fewer.
What an experience, Patricia! Thank you for sharing! You sound reassured by his visit and by his less frequent contact following the visit. That certainly lines up with Swedenborg's take on what happens in the afterlife: we all continue to live! Your dad is very likely engaged with the useful, joy-filled activities to which he is uniquely suited!
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 KJV

@@offTheLeftEye Not necessary, ... scripture already stated, the chosen are of the 12 tribes of Israel. Furthermore, humans were never meant for Heaven! Religious leaders have falsely been teaching people, that going to Heaven was the norm! It never was! Jesus himself said, no one has ever gone there! Moses never taught this, in any of his writing! Nor did king David (who God favored) even he never went there! In fact, humans never went there...(until) Jesus offered Heaven to the first humans (ever)...his 11 disciples,...they are the first! Second, religious leaders also fail at teaching what scripture says about the Earth! Scripture says it will remain forever! Still, even Jesus said, the Resurrection has not happened yet! Yet people are saying otherwise! Did not God tell our first parents, that they will die and return to the ground? Yet, notice who said otherwise,...it was Satan who said, you surely will not die! Therefore, this video supports Satan! Moses spoke directly with God,...for 40 years,...he taught none of these teachings ! So did God forget to tell the real Jews, the real deal? Did God lie to our first parents? Think on these things.
@@mrg466 1 Corinthians 15 tells us that after the death of the physical body, we will be raised to spiritual life in a spiritual body. And there are other Bible passages speaking of an immediate afterlife, or resurrection, after death: "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." (Hebrews 9:27) Jesus pointed out that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were alive right then, in the present: "But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him” (Luke 20:37-38) When Jesus was transfigured on the mountain, the spirits of Moses and Elijah appeared next to him, quite alive and awake. (Matthew 17) The story that Jesus told about the rich man and Lazarus describes an immediate afterlife that people go into (Luke 16:19-31). These two promises Jesus gave indicate a place in the very near future rather than a greatly distant future: "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2). "Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:42-43). Jesus indicates that what he will demonstrate (bodily death and then resurrection three days later) is something that now all humans can do, too. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also" (John 14:19). Paul wrote about the spiritual body that will be raised up, rather than the physical body: “So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44). Jesus said that Abraham “rejoiced to see my day,” thus saying that Abraham, who had died centuries before, was conscious of the coming of Jesus: “Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple,going through the midst of them, and so passed by.” -John 8:51-59

It sounds like you're in a painful spot, Mandy. Not easy to hang in there, is it. This is Kendall; I'm part of our community team at OTLE. You are not alone in your eagerness to find more peace. Spiritual struggle reminds me of a violent storm. I live in Pennsylvania, and in recent years we've had our fair share of tornado warnings, which terrify me. There is simply nothing I can do to tell the tornado to go away. What I can do is heed the guidance of those I trust and go into my basement for a little while, till the worst of the winds dies down. That's what I have to do in spiritual life, too. Find a retreat, even if only for a few minutes. With prayer, with a phone call, with rest. With breath. Over time the clouds do recede and the sunlight peeks at me, brightly even, once again. May you find a moment's peace today, however it appears, and may it offer you release from struggle and pain.

PeoplePeople need to pay attention ..we dont know death we only see life and what you should recognize is our brains made to record..we remember back to our childhood like it was yesterday which all will come back up at end of life...
@@sheilapatterson746 a life review at the end of life - yes, I've heard of that! And I agree with you, Sheila; death is merely a transition - in which we are reborn into a more real and wonderful world than this, and life continues!
You know when I walk down the street I see what the earth looks like now and what God said how he made it in the beginning...and look what we did to it...destroyed his dream... but when a person dies we all go into .what is death.....simple the end of life on this earth..anything further we wont know...i hate when people say what will happen as when they never experience it ....i know for fact about life that our brain are programmed as a recorder of past events...is it to rewind our life during death..will never know
@@sheilapatterson746 We certainly respect your right to choose what to believe! We believe that God wants us to know about the full picture of reality, including what happens after death, and so when the time was right, God called Emanuel Swedenborg to the mission of learning about the afterlife and writing it down, because the time had come that humanity was ready to learn more about that. Again, there is no need for you to watch or to agree with what we share. But if you ever want to know a little more about Emanuel Swedenborg and his credentials, here is one short video and two longer ones about that: "Who Was Swedenborg?" th-cam.com/video/HEa0e8AcS78/w-d-xo.html "Was Swedenborg Crazy?" th-cam.com/video/K_ZP30NFYf8/w-d-xo.html "Splendors of the Spirit" th-cam.com/video/RdzeFKh9_D4/w-d-xo.html And also, some influence Swedenborg's writings have had on modern culture: "Swedenborg's Influence Game Show" th-cam.com/video/IZ20NPJk2_Q/w-d-xo.html
I grew up with an abusive father. I just hope when I pass away I dont see him in heaven. If God has forgiven him, then fine but I still never want to see my father again. I hope he leaves me alone in the afterlife
M P, Swedenborg found that people only see each other if the visit is mutually beneficial. You wouldn't see anyone unless it was useful for you and for them! I'm so sorry for what you went through, and for all the pain and suffering you endured. You deserve peace and will find it in this world, and the next! Blessings.

I just think that its so comforting that Death is just the beginning and not the end and this channel is amazing i came across this by accident and it was the best accident EVER!! Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh Michelle -- This touches my heart! Whatever "accident" brought you here, I am so glad you have found these ideas to be comforting and life-changing! So glad to have you along on this journey -- thanks for reaching out with your lovely feedback.
The United States is a Christian country. I wonder what would happen if this video was shown to a different country. I feel offended by this whole video. This video causes me shame. It seems like wheat I taught as a little girl is being mocked. Like I am doing something deadly wrong. We people who worship differently get people accuse us of making them upset while they do the same to us. Death is darkness.
Sorry, that is not true, I died eleven times one was 22min and I came back. When you ask, what happens. No one can tell you. You will find out when you die. So live life as much as you can, do not live waiting to die. THANL YOU
Yes, ghostsavengers -- We'll find out when we die. Though an NDE might be a real visit to the spiritual world, I wonder if the experience would be different when we are finished with our body once and for all. This video is based on an experience given to Emanuel Swedenborg, for the sake of learning (and sharing) what it's like to die and wake up on the other side. Take what you like and leave the rest!
I had a NDE. It was amazingly beautiful. You do remain your individual soul BUT I realized that when you die, you do not bring one memory of your life. It’s like leaving the classroom. Your life is done and you are moving on....surrounded by total peace and love. And a deep new understanding.
Bella Bijou Exactly ..i left my body in 1982...hovered above it ,and felt myself being " pulled" up a tunnel which had a BEAUTIFUL white light light in it ..there is much more to my very real experience...but I can say I did NOT want to come back here to Earth..and I told them so.I believe it is THE most important thing that those of us who have experienced this should tell others. However, I have found, that it is almost impossible to get others to understand this properly. In my case it was not due to an accident/operation , as it is with so many people . Never, never , allow others to get you to Believe that it's all our imagination. It is not! We are not these bodies! We're just wearing a meat suit' !
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful insight from your experience, Bella! Yes, there is so much earthly memory that would be useless and even detrimental, holding us back, once we cross over. Swedenborg learned that what we keep is only those deeper things from earthly experience -- deeper bonds of love and deeper realizations and insights. We dig into that in our episode "What Will You Remember in the Afterlife?" th-cam.com/video/ChnFC9N0jfc/w-d-xo.html

I'm not against People who think that they know where we r going after Death, but, I also believed that nobody knows nothing until u Die n, c it 4 yourself.
Victor, it's true, we really can't know until we get there. I think it comes down to, what do you want to believe? What gives you comfort and strength in your life? What do you think happens?

That not true, God gave us his written word, the 1611 King James bible, to help us know the truth about him, and all the things we need to know while here, to get us to the right place after we pass from this world , people stop believing this liars, they are meeting familiar spirits, DEMONS, posing as holy angels, read and believe the bible,
According to what the Lord told me all's will be buried in the dust back to the dust we must all's go he told me know one just die a go to heaven it doesn't work that way an in the last day when this whorld end we will all's see Jesus on judgment day the trumpet will sound everyone will wake from their grave an give account to everything done on earth in this life an he said if know one name is written in the book of Life to live in heaven is going to hell an trust me know one want to go their know water in hell I'm not planning to go there I won't to live with the Lord.
This channel is based on the experiences of Emanuel Swedenborg who visited the afterlife. We hope you can find a channel that works better for you Michael.
My mom passed 8•23•17 while I was 8 months pregnant, only for my son to be born the following month on her birthday 9•23. Her passing was so unexpected and I'm still grieving her 2.5 yrs later. I will always miss her, she was my best friend. I can't wait to see her and my Granny again...but I'm curious if while we are going through all of these phases and learning on the other side, are they still with us or accessible to us, or are we only reunited with them at first and then move on to all of this, not seeing them anymore if we end up in other places/groups ? I know no one really has this answer, but I can't imagine being reunited with your loved ones and then being separated permanently to go through these phases....what would be the point of reuniting then?
LS, I'm so sorry for your loss, especially at such a vulnerable period of your life. It is so cool that your son was born on your mom's birthday! Seems she was with you still. Grief never really goes away, but it changes form and intensity over time. I'm glad you have faith for a reunion - you will certainly see each other again! Time and space are so different in the next world - you are never truly separated from anyone the way you are here. Anytime you want to see them, you just think of them, and if they want to see you to the connection is instantaneous. It would be like living in different neighborhoods (although you may be in the same neighborhood, I don't know!) and traveling telepathically. Check out this episode, "How The Spiritual World Is Like The Internet," th-cam.com/video/OdV8rxVHT2o/w-d-xo.html for more on how this works according to Swedenborg!
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. I wish more people understood what I went through, in this way. It was a vulnerable time for me, and I had to postpone my grieving until after he was born, so he wouldn't feel it and it affect him. So when he was born and I started grieving, post partum depression set in, of course.😔 She was "my person" and to have that suddenly taken from you without much notice, is absolutely devastating. My husband lost his mom 4 yrs & 3 days prior to me losing mine, and I thought since he had been through it he would understand to show compassion & empathy, and remember how grief reveals itself...instead, for the most part, he lacks compassion & empathy, telling me not to be upset because she wouldn't want me to be..🤨 I know that. But losing your mother, while becoming one yourself- regardless if it's your 1st child or 7th, it was the worst heartbreak I've ever had. I did most certainly feet her the day he was born. I could feel her presence very strongly and she knew they shared a birthday- just like she said they would, throughout my whole pregnancy, ironically.💞 The only difference was, she was supposed to be with me, by my side.🤱🏼 I will definitely check out the other video, thanks again.
@@laceyschanne Wow, yes, you were in a very vulnerable state. I completely understand! I (Karin) lost my oldest daughter in a car accident just a month before my fourth child was born. What a mixture of emotions! Sometimes I wondered a WHY I would have an infant at a time of having to deal with such grief. At other times I would realize that having an infant at that time gave me a necessary reason to get out of bed each day, instead of going into my room and never coming out. I can certainly understand postpartum depression! I hope you can come to recognize your mom's loving presence as you interact with your little son. Her love is strongly present in that relationship! I know how much you ache to have her physically present. I hope and pray that you can come to feel the more subtle ways that she is always spiritually present with you and your child. ❤
From some NDES I have watched, when our loved ones die, they can re-incarnate back to the family; blood-line. But that they won't retain the same gender; however, they carry with them some skills or talents they accumulated from their previous lives or lifetimes. Their tendencies to do something as an individual is like a tell-tale sign about who's who. We recently lost a family member and now looking forward to welcoming them back if they ever get to incarnate back to earth. At least it gives us hope 🙏 .
Thank-you. I was studying Swedenborg's teachings when I was much younger, over 40 years ago, but got away from it, although it left a lasting impression on me. That's when I became a born-again Christian. I have belonged to a few other churches since then, but none ever felt as right. Unfortunately, there have been no Swedenborg churches near me except one, and the minister there said he didn't teach Swedenborg's teachings even though it was a Swedenborg beliefs church. I'm so glad I found your TH-cam videos.
Interesting journey, kasey. So glad you've found some community around these ideas here on OTLE. I'd love to know a few ideas that stuck with you through the years -- the ones that DID continue to feel right, if you'd like to share.

to a church you can just go for the vibe atmosphere and inspiration. its a sacred place. you dont even need to understand the language. its not a lecture. you just try to feel it and you can even go to a service in a beautiful church in a language that you dont understand, ive done that. however a preacher from time to time may say some motivational useful thing and then knowing the language may help
This was a powerful episode. It’s all about the ❤️ love. .......Once your happy, you WANT to do good things. You CARE about others. But when when your on the earth, under the force of SIN, things like heredity, bad treatment, being misled, causes a lot of confusion, hatred , anger and pain. You can be basically someone whom you don’t wish to be here on the earth. But if this is a source of learning, I suppose it would be needed to further your development in the spirit world. 👍🏻❤️🙏🙂
These are great thoughts, Julian! It's a process to change one's operating system from self-serving desires to true altruism. But the Lord knows us, loves us, and works with us every step of the way. There is tremendous hope, my friend!
Me, too! That is exactly what Swedenborg says can happen for each of us! You may find these episodes comforting. "What Does It Feel Like to Die?" th-cam.com/video/hWU0PA-PDDo/w-d-xo.html "How Angels Take Care of Us When We Die." th-cam.com/video/1rnk72vH7Ws/w-d-xo.html
If you have cancer or a medical condition that is terminal I'm sure death is painful. Hospice makes sure the patient is pumped with all the legal narcotics. Most people linger for a week without food or fluids. They seem to eventually have decreased breathing and the vital organs start slowing down I witnessed my husband and father go through the death process. I did notice there were some pain and seizures. The fortunate ones are the people who just pass away in their sleep. The lucky ones free of disease. I'm sure we come into the world with some pain and exit with some pain.
@@lorij6796 There can indeed be pain involved in the final stages of disease. I'm grateful for Hospice which can focus on doing everything possible to bring relief from physical pain. But when the actual crossing over process begins, there is no pain! Even if the physical body looks like the person must be feeling a lot of pain, it seems that the spirit has already exited, and is not experiencing the pain.

Why would you think that, Ramaraksha? I believe love never dies - we will always be connected with our loved ones, no matter whether we are in a physical or spiritual state.

I am not afraid to die I can't wait to see my mom and sister and loved ones again...i am getting older in year's and all my family is gone to heaven now it's just my cat and I after my cat passes away she is my last animal, I will be happy to go,,,I have a lot of physical problems and still work, as a nurse I have to live..but my health is not good,,,it's just kitty and I
Working as a nurse means you have a caring heart, B G! Glad you're not afraid to make the transition across the veil, and may you enjoy your remaining days here with your beloved cat. Wishing you peace and smooth sailing!
Hi B G. I see you like big band leader Glenn Miller. I care for my grandmother, Louise Tobin Hucko. She sang with Benny Goodman a many other greats back in those days. Check her out on TH-cam or you can Google her name: Louise Tobin Hucko. She is a healthy 102 years old as of 11/11/20. I have been asking myself, why is she still here? All 10 of her siblings are gone. All but a few friends still come to visit. She still gets many calls from all over the world. Her last gig was in her early 80s. She and her husband, Jazz clarinetist, Michael Hucko, performed for Princess Diana & Prince Charles just before that. You might enjoy her songs too🎤
I am always praying that when her time comes, the good lord takes her when she is sleeping. She is strong minded, but her little body is weakening more each day. I don't understand Gods purpose for us at such an age where you need to have help to survive. I tell her she is here to see the next Presidential election...lol.
@@auntiekk2753 @Auntie KK thank you for sharing this about your beloved grandmother! She sounds like an incredible person, who lives an incredible life! Melissa here - my grandmother is in the same boat, having outlived her husband and 7 of her 9 siblings, not to mention many friends who passed on before her. I think she would LOVE to move on, and yet she's really quite healthy and active!
Sometimes I think maybe they're still here for US, to teach us something? Or provide us opportunities to show more love! Swedenborg had some ideas about why we die when we do, which we talk about in this short clip: th-cam.com/video/PeWLcooxRGg/w-d-xo.html and in the episode "Does My Life Matter?" (I have it cued to this part of the episode, but the whole thing is worth a watch!). th-cam.com/video/33FfPQsf_zU/w-d-xo.html
Here is what Swedenborg wrote about why we die when we do:
"There are four reasons why people die as children, adolescents, adults, or old men and women:
1. on account of their use to people when in the world;
2. on account of their use to spirits and angels when in the world, because a person is with spirits as to his or her inward elements and is there with them as long as he or she is in the world;
3. on account of the use to themselves in the world, either so that they may be regenerated, or so that they may be let into their own evils lest they lie as it were asleep and later erupt, which would result in the person’s eternal ruin;
4. thus on account of the subsequent usefulness in the other life, after death and to eternity . . ."(Spiritual Experiences §5003)
I hope that's useful to you! And I hope you and your grandmother are doing well!
Hi my friend how are you doing? I understand exactly what you said. It’s just me and my dog. It can be a really really lonely world out there and all I can say is take good care of yourself and try and be happy as we all know that life’s way too short.
God Bless you and stay healthy and safe in this crazyyyy world we live in.

My father died in 2001 before my 15th birthday. I had my first dream with him on my bday, his funeral was the very next day. He was comforting me, letting me know everything will be ok. I have communicated with my dad in my dreams since then. I haven’t had any dreams with him lately but I believe this is his soul reaching out and it brings me much peace❤️ now, my mother is battling cancer and i am so afraid to lose her. Im afraid to feel this loss again. This channel is so very helpful ☀️

Someone that I loved more than myself committed suicide in 2017. I still can't cope. He was agnostic the last I heard. Life is so painful now I just want to die. I keep in mind that God didn't call everyone in the spirit in this life. So I'm hoping that at some point that EVERYONE will get that chance at some point. Surely God wouldn't create people and not give them a chance to make it to heaven.
I lost my dad whom I loved the most on oct 4th, 2019. I cry every night. Unable to move on. It’s still so fresh. This video made me hopeful
@@jessegrider5301 Jesse, I'm so sorry for this terribly painful loss. My heart aches for you. God never stops reaching out to people, calling them in spirit, and that will continue in the afterlife. God clearly sees all that a person has been dealing with throughout their lives, and can reach past that pain into the deeper places in a person's spirit, to gradually bring healing and clarity. So, please to not worry about your loved one. God loves him more than you can imagine. Please see this short video, "Do Suicides Go to Hell?" th-cam.com/video/NQXg57qjm7g/w-d-xo.html And also our panel discussion in response to a question about a loved one who died of suicide, starting at about 22 minutes 18 seconds: th-cam.com/video/7b--acA4jQY/w-d-xo.html We are all sending much love to you, and wishing you healing and peace!
I lost my dad to a sudden cardiac arrest a year and a half ago...still struggling to live life without him...loved him so much and miss him every moment of every day...this video gives great solace knowing i will meet him again in the afterlife...waiting eagerly to see him again😪♥️🙏🙏
Chandra that is incredibly hard... I am sorry there was no notice. No chance for closure I guess. I bet he was a wonderful father. Yes knowing you will meet him again makes all the difference.
Thank you so much🙏...he keeps visiting me in my dreams
I asked my father before he died well I know you do you think we will know each other again and he said, did you know before that was a very very profound answer think about it it’s only one time family

I love God,i keep judging myself since im not perfect.it pains me to offend Him.i wanna be faithful but my weaknesses get the better of me.There are times i feel close to Him and most of the time im miles away.LordJesus have mercy on me
Maboki, I can feel your sincerity, my friend! According to Swedenborg, when we open to God He is with us immediately. Your desire for His influence is enough to bring you exactly what you need to move forward! God bless you, my friend. Keep on keeping on!
death after life and coming back I went through a tunnel it was so fast the speed like a feather so light so beautiful I reach to the end was a white image very bright light and he said go back theres people who need you. I came back it was so peaceful so loving and since then I’ve been helping many people
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience with us, Ivone! It sounds as if you have been sharing love and joy and usefulness ever since you came back, and that is so inspiring! I wonder if our episode about near death experiences would resonate with yours? Check it out here, if you want to! "The Framework Behind All Near Death Experiences" th-cam.com/video/xyEZCvThKdU/w-d-xo.html
Hope that's useful, and thank you for sharing what you witnessed! God bless!
Oh my gosh! I experienced the same thing, and more, after my son was born and there were complications afterwards.
Hi ivone how are you doing?
I have the same history like you the doctors confirmed my death 1995 but I can't explain everything because we don't have in this world what I have seen the colour,people, environment at the end I remember go back and after my people and Russia doctors were very wonderful about near my bed after 7 hours coma.
I v o n e have you thought about recording your own testimony?
In 1991 I had a near death experience, it was so wonderful, I’m no longer afraid to die , I had to come back for my daughter , she was only 15 , and pregnant, I had to be here for her , I’m so looking forward to leaving this World 🌎, I want to go home my Heavenly Home !
Wow, Debbie, I'm so glad for you that you had such a wonderful experience, and so much hope for your spiritual life! It's so encouraging to hear that. I bet your daughter is very glad you came back, though! It must be difficult to know what awaits and still be here - but we are so glad you're here to share your experience! Sending love!
Me also...lucky us. the joy of life here and the joy of knowing we'll go to HEAVEN, it's win-win...
@@offTheLeftEye hey I want to tell you about an experience that I interview with an near-death experience Survivor was very unique and very different. I met the Spanish woman in a Tacoma Fred Meyers and Tacoma Washington. I somehow brought up about near death experiences with her I don't know why but I did. She looked back and forth she didn't want people to listen to what she was saying to me. Very conservative woman and she says in a exasperated voice, I have not told this to my relatives or my friends or anybody but when I was in the operating room, I saw this nurse in the operating room. I asked her to come over. She said to her, I am so worried about my husband and my children do you know anything about them or where are they at? Obviously a regular everyday nurse would not know that information. In this case she said, the nurse said your husband and your children are fine. Your husband is cooking dinner in the kitchen and your kids are playing in the living room. So the Spanish woman looked me in the face with exasperation and she said, how did she know that! And I asked her did her lips move when she was communicating this information to you. And she said no! They were not moving. I told her that our events on this Earthly plane are constantly monitored and recorded in the afterlife. Jesus said this thing that blew me away and she said she was wearing a dress. And she was also wearing a white hat on top of her head with a large Red Cross! And I thought to myself holy crap! Here we are 2021 and recently had surgery and she's talking about a nurse wearing a nurse's uniform from the early 1900s. What do you make of this?
Same here. Mine was 2014.
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you for even reading this, I am looking forward to the day God calls me home , everything will be perfect 😍
I miss my whole family that passed away . I pray for them think about them all the time. Lord bless them.
My heart goes out to you, Allen. It's so painful to be separated from beloved family members. I believe that they can feel your thoughts, love and prayers across the veil! 💗
@Luis Meza Thank you God Bless you.
I too Allen. My mother passed when I was 12 then my father followed 10 years one month and one day later. I lost my two older brothers both in the month of March four years apart. 2011 and 2015. We have many that love us unconditionally. I have tried to learn all I can about life after the death of our earthly bodies. It is the quest that I believe I signed up for with my family going home early before me. Much love to you.
God bless you all .
Thank you for the replies. All we do is keep the faith 🙏.
My late husband passed away in June of 2015. He had both legs amputated...the last leg was on our wedding anniversary June 17th. He passed away June 27th..ten days later...but before he died....all his children were there...brothers and sisters...him and I had our last conversation on June17th....as they took the tube out of his throat...his eyes opened and he became alert and he started looking around the hospital room. I was on the right side of his bed... holding his hand. He look towards the left ...then everyone said....he's looking for you Janice. Once he saw me? He smiled...tears came to his eyes and he immediately went to sleep with a smile. I believe there is a God that sits high and looks down low. I wanna see Jesus someday.
Janice, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment with your husband, it's so sweet and loving. I have absolutely no doubt that you are right - there is a God, your husband lives on in the spiritual world, and you WILL meet Jesus someday! God bless you!

Lovely, Syanannah.
The explanations being given are difficult to perceive. Very different from what we are taught or preached in our churches.
@@janewanjiruk7752 I hear you! Our approach is different, and you have to decide if it resonates as true for you, or not! Here's a little background on what we share, and why we share it! I hope it is helpful!
On this channel we share information written down by Swedish scientist turned theologian, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), which he learned through 27 years of direct experiences of seeing into the afterlife. Everyone is free to decide whether to believe that information or not. He was a devout reader of the Bible, and believed his works were showing the rest of us what he learned to be the inner meanings contained in scripture!
The Bible tells us it contains an inner meaning, and here are some quotes that indicate this: “All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34
“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12).
“If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12).
“To you it’s been given to know the mysteries of God’s kingdom, but to the rest, in parables, so that seeing, they would not see, and hearing, they would not hear” (Luke 8:10)
“Our competence is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.” (2 Corinthians 3:5-6)
“Give ear, my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old” (Psalm 78:1-2).
If you would like to learn more about how Swedenborg read and understood the Bible (what it meant to him) check out our episode, "What the Bible Is," th-cam.com/video/v0mE8IDLynE/w-d-xo.html , or this short clip, "It Is Damaging To Take The Bible Literally," th-cam.com/video/eXUXZ8BigDk/w-d-xo.html
If you'd be at all interested in hearing how the ideas in this show are grounded in the Bible, I recommend the recorded episodes of this Bible study: www.spiritandlifebiblestudy.com/
And, if you’re wondering whether Swedenborg would be useful in your life, check out this blog post: “Why Read Swedenborg? Isn’t the Bible Enough?” swedenborg.com/why-read-swedenborg-isnt-the-bible-enough/?fbclid=IwAR3DIoSOC6BC6q-iu1-v4Y3Mh7uT0spAu4gfidTSUuEXiShM1szOTtfQoUE
We share this information for anyone who is interested, but we also respect that everyone is on their own spiritual path, and in their own relationship with the Word and with God. We respect your right to decide for yourself whether to accept what Swedenborg learned, or not. Thank you for sharing your perspective on all this, and we are wishing you well. God bless!
@Paul Suchey I think Matthew 25:31-46 is a wonderful parable for bringing clarity to this. By choosing to either help the neighbor, or to ignore the needs of our neighbors, we are choosing throughout our whole lives whether we want to be connected to God and heaven, or not. Because God IS love of the whole human race, and heaven is the reception of that. So, after death, the inner choice of our heart is revealed, as expressed through our deeds and motivations throughout our whole life on earth. God wants to bring everyone into heaven. God loves every single person, and like any loving parent, could never ever choose to reject a beloved child or send that child away. But heaven is a state of selfless neighborly love, and so we are the ones who choose whether to accept the invitation to that state of being, or not. The story of the prodigal son is another great parable about this (Luke 15:11-32). In that story, it is the son who chose to leave, and then the son who later chose to come back to his father. The father had always wanted his son to come home and be with him. Jesus, and the Bible, use parable to tell us about how things are in life and the afterlife.

D., I am terribly sorry for your loss! I can tell that you cherish your relationship with your mom, even now that she is not with you in her physical form.

We don't go anywhere, we don't see God. We stay "asleep" in the grave waiting for the resurrection. Read Ecclesiastes. God tells us the true condition of the dead. Don't believe in pagan beliefs! That's what Satan wants. He doesn't want us to know the truth.

I am 58yrs old. At age 16 I took an overdose of sleeping pills. I remember as if it was yesterday, being very high in what seemed to be the air, looking down at a sheet covered body in a basement morgue; that body was me. I saw Two nurses, one a matron, wearing the larger white triangle type hat, and a younger nurse with her. I then felt a presence next to me, a warm loving presence, yet I could not actually see anyone. Although no words were spoken, I heard the words , "it's not your time yet", then felt a kiss on my cheek. Suddenly I rose up, the sheet falling off my face to my chest, both nurses who I'm sure wheeled me into that room, went pale white, mouths agape..matron a few seconds later asked what my name was, i said Julie, (my name isn't Julie btw lol)... I grabbed the sheet, jumped off a steel gurnie and said " I'm going home" and walked out....I had no home, I was homeless. I knew when I left there (hospital), that I didn't really want to die, I had something to do, but had no idea what it was. I told people about my experience, kids on the sts taking drugs, as a way to stop them from taking them and or taking so many. That presence I called 'someone', but inside I knew who it was. Everywhere I went from that day, jehovah witnesses, Morman's, Christians would all stop me, ask if they could help etc...I'd run the other way lol....but they kept coming, as if chasing me. I got a job, not the best to have, but it put a roof over my head, and I started getting young girls, runaways off the sts, hear their story and would get them to go home where they were safer, by telling them my story and why I could not go home. I married, had children and was born again, age 30. Age 33, I was again taking in kids off the sts, divorced and raising five kids....I've had nearly 200 kids..ohh Abraham!..and still I'm taking little children under my wing...just received two more down the crt 2weeks ago... I am never childless, yet I have no grandchildren as yet. I was also given a spiritual gift of 'foresight' .. you will know what I'm saying. This is a short version of my testimony with Jesus, his blessings and unconditional love.

What you mean “ present with the Lord”? We all go to Heaven? I don’t know what that verse means
@@selfimprovementlifestyle4949 Some will live in Heaven with the Lord and Jesus Christ will say to others..... I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21-23.)
I lost my mother relatively recently, an angelic and very tormented person who experienced all kinds of bad situations and although I have devoted myself completely to her in recent years trying to make her happy in every way, I feel guilty that I did not offer her enough! Every night I visit her grave and cry
I have no doubt she would want you to let go of any guilt, John! I'm sure that all you were able to offer was enough. No person can provide everything for another person, no matter how much they love them. Right now, your mother is getting help to break free from all that torment, and be healed and guided toward more and more happiness. Your love and efforts will have played a HUGE role in helping her during her final stage on Earth. Small actions of love mean more than you know, and when you cross over your mom, and God, can show you how much good you did -- what an impact your efforts made. For now, please believe that there is nothing to feel bad about. Allow yourself to work through your grief back into walking your own life path and finding happiness. I'm sure that what your mom wants most for you!

I didn’t believe in any of this stuff until my deceased uncle (one of my best friends in life) came to visit me in a dream...he told me a lot of stuff covered in this video. He also looked younger than in life. We were in a sort of “waiting room” with big windows overlooking a panoramic view of a beautiful outdoor setting. My deceased mom was sitting in the room with us, not saying anything, but smiling and full of bliss, looking happier than I have ever seen her in life. I was able to ask him questions and he patiently answered them all. One question I had was: “is there such thing as hell?” And he said no. I jokingly asked him about my dead musical idols (Jimi Hendrix, etc) and he told me that they were there too, but that they weren’t playing the “rock star role” where they were...
It was such a strange dream, don’t know if it was real, but it certainly felt like it.
Norman, what an incredible experience! If it felt real to you, that is important! Amazing when we can get those visits. I hope that experience gave you some comfort!
Sorry, but hell IS absolutely real. God is not a liar. He addresses the reality of hell many times, for example;
"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
(Revelation 21:8 NIV)
What is 'fiery lake of burning sulfur' mean? It means, 'hell'.
It's ALSO the place where those who don't belong to Christ go, as well as satan, his fallen angels, 'death' and 'hades', (the temporary waiting/holding pond for those who are dead, or who die before the day of judgement).
Jesus said,
"“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
(Luke 16:19-31 NIV)
Jesus is not a liar, as God cannot lie. He's WARNING us of what's to come for those who choose self, or worldly ways, over God's ways, which means; surrendering ourselves to serve God.
The apostle John was given a 'Revelation' to experience AND to write the experience down as a forecoming WARNING to those who reject God.
"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."
(Revelation 20:11-15 NIV)
Anything that is written, or explained that is contrary to the Word of God, is NOT of God and is therefore FALSE, (a LIE) and is designed to cause CONFUSION from satan and those who belong to him.
DON'T FALL FOR THE LIES OF SATAN!!!
This video is FALSE! There's only ONE WAY to heaven and THAT is through Jesus Christ ONLY! There's NO OTHER WAY! Satan will try to trick us by pretending to be good, when he is NOT.
"For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."
(2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV)
@@glenturney4750 I respect your beliefs, but I don’t agree that a God of pure love could be described as an all loving benevolent God, if he created a person with the knowledge that their souls were already condemned to burn in such a place. I prefer to think of God as a creator, not a destroyer.
Keep in mind that Revelations was an account of a dream someone had. I too had a dream, so why was his dream taken seriously over anyone else’s dream? Is it just because it was included in the Bible? If that’s the test, then why were books removed from the Bible during various epochs, by random popes, etc? Which version of the Bible are we even talking about, because different versions of the Bible are worded differently, not to mention interpreted differently. Which part of the Bible do we interpret literally, and which is meant as a metaphor or parable? I can find plenty of biblical scholars with a simple search that can argue that the Bible doesn’t actually preach the gospel of hell’s existence
@@nomandad2000 I sure agree with you that a loving God wouldn't create a hell and send people there! Swedenborg learned that the Bible is a book of divine allegory and parable. It is not supposed to be taken literally. That causes all sorts of problems, as we discuss in our episode "It Is Damaging to Take the Bible Literally" th-cam.com/video/g2HMeLVgRI4/w-d-xo.html You might find it interesting to delve into our episodes about the deeper meanings in the book of Revelation!
Regarding hell, Swedenborg witnessed that there is such a thing, but it is a place created by human hatred rather than by God. Hell is a state of mind in which a person refuses to let go of hatred, vengefulness, greed, hostility, self-centeredness, etc. God is constantly working to encourage people to let go of those things and let kindness and compassion to flow in, but also, God will not force people to be good. We must be left in freedom to choose, because goodness and love are not real unless they are freely chosen. Even in hell, God is constantly working to lead people in a better direction, but it can only go at the rate of each person's willingness. If you are interested in a very different take on what hell is, check out our episode "What Is Hell Really Like?" and see if any of that makes sense to you! th-cam.com/video/gXCO1P6r-Kw/w-d-xo.html
@@offTheLeftEye God bless you . if one part of the Bible is a lie then who to say everything is a lie think about that .

This is my best friend's story.
Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey
We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day.
My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own.
As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night.
That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no.
However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed.... Still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word.
He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
He understood he could not pay the price for his sins.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood - because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God - so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan - and you and I - would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today?
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you repented of your sins? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow! Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus alone - today!
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14
@@kelleymcfadden9675 I'm so sorry for your painful loss! And I admire your faith in the Bible and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

JC, Growing up, I never feared death. I grew up in a funeral home since the age of 8. I love visiting cemeteries, especially those with history as I get a sense of calmness. 8 months ago, I was told I had 5 to 7.5 months to live. Hearing this scared me. I began to fear death. A few weeks ago, I heard a deep voice that said "Fear not I, something something" and have been filled with calmness ever since. I no longer fear it. I keep hearing and seeing the signs. Do not fear death my friend!
Right before dad died he lifted both his arms and stretched them up as if to hug someone.My mom died 1 1/2 yrs previously so I believe she came to meet him.

My husband died suddenly at Christmas it's broken me..for a few weeks I felt him here I even saw him at the end of my bed x the electrics went on and off and my bathroom tap was running water..I really truly hope he's somewhere waiting for me x😇
Hayley, I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. And while I can't imagine the pain you must feel, I can at least offer some of the fundamentals Swedenborg observed: love transcends time and space -- you and your husband will reunite in the afterlife because of the love you share. The Lord desires that each of us live into eternity with our true loves, growing closer in partnership with them and with the Lord. Your husband is okay, and his love for you will not go away.

I’ve just very recently learned of Swedenborg so forgive my lack of knowledge but I’m not hearing any bible references to these ideas?
You are more than likely aware of this information on Emanuel Swedenborg. After a youth spent studying everything from astronomy and mechanical engineering to anatomy, his deep faith led him into direct contact with the spiritual world.Swedenborg had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. In 1741, at 53, he entered into a spiritual phase in which he began to experience dreams and visions plus Mysticism? 🤔 Mystical experiences are experiences where the recipient feels a sense of 'union' with the Divine. • Mysticism involves the spiritual recognition of truths beyond normal. understanding. What is the caution for Christians towards anyone that claims revelations from God beyond what Scripture might contain? 1 John 4:1 ESV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 Corinthians 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Point! You question everything men/ women do in the name of Christ Jesus and use the scriptures as the sole authority weather right or wrong!😎
@Tony T, welcome to our channel! I'm glad you had a chance to watch one of our videos on the afterlife. I'm glad you love and honor the Bible. We do, too! Jesus indicated that details about the afterlife could not be plainly told at the time he was on earth:
“All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.”
-Matthew 13:34
“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.”
-John 16:25
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12).
“If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12).
We get this information from the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) who called himself a "servant of the Lord Jesus Christ". After an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer, and Bible study, he had a powerful vision of Christ, who opened up Swedenborg's spiritual sight so that he could learn about the afterlife and the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come. We respect that you and everyone must decide for themselves whether to believe that or not, but we do believe it, and that's why we want to share this information.
Here's a short video about who Swedenborg is, if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/HEa0e8AcS78/w-d-xo.html
That's what I was thinking. Where is scripture back up
I know this is trivial, especially when compared to others seeing their human loved ones, but will we see the pets we’ve loved dearly in the afterlife?

@@offTheLeftEye aww i dont see how they wouldnt they are the sweetest i wanna say souls ! they have every emption we have you know? i seriously want my babies to go with me in passing same etrernity
I believe 'yes'. Jesus said He has a store house full of good things He wants to give us as His dearly beloved children. I believes our pets are picked out for us. And He told us Heaven w I'll ll be wonderful for each of us, so to many, that means our pets will be there. A man who had horses on his ranch, passed away and went to the hereafter and met Jesus, and saw his horses there. He came back to be able to tell us that.

Dear La REBEL, I'm sorry for the delay in responding. We have been having a hard time keeping up with the comments. I'm so terribly sorry for your devastating loss. My heart aches for you. Your loss is so recent, your heart is really raw with pain right now. I (Karin) lost my 8-year-old daughter back in 1991, and I remember that feeling of devastation. It takes a long time to recover and heal from such a severe wound, so be patient with yourself. Pay attention to what you need each day to get through. I wonder if it would be of any comfort to you to watch our episode "Children in Heaven" th-cam.com/video/dVJDMaXaafk/w-d-xo.html It will not take away the pain of loss, but it could perhaps any worries you might feel about her. She is being well taken care of in a beautiful place. Sending much love to you, and wishing you healing and peace!
Yeshua/Jesus said, REPENT OR PERISH. He also said, I am the way and the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me. Don't end up in Hell, it is a real place, and is eternal.
Yes! Repentance is an imperative in Swedenborg's view as well. Have you read his work, Divine Providence? It's a really incredible book with a clear call to repentance. You can download a free PDF here, if you are moved to do so! Blessings to you on your journey, friend! Thank you for taking the time to comment. swedenborg.com/product/divine-providence-nce/
I dont believe there is a hell
@@lindameyers4227 Yes, hell is a real place. Jesus spoke about it many times. Read the gospel of Matthew and Luke. Would Jesus lie or lead us astray?
@@ramaraksha01 only God knows a person's heart, whether or not they are truly repentance and believe in Jesus. God gives everyone the chance to believe. Only he can change us if we let him. All have sinned, including you and I. God is willing to forgive us if we ask him and receive him into our life. He is the only way. Read the Bible.
@@ramaraksha01 Read the Bible. God forgives but the idea is for people to change and we can only change with his help. He is the only way to the Father, there are no other ways. The way the truth and the life=Yeshua. No man comes to the Father except through him.
A friend of mine just passed over... this was very encouraging to watch. Thanks.
Cynthia Herron I’m very sorry for your loss.🙏
While my heart breaks for the loss of your friend, I'm so glad you were led to these teachings. I hope you can see that he/she is cared for, protected and deeply loved during this transition. And the love you both share as friends is also a powerful thing: it may build a bridge one day for a beautiful reunion, when the time is right.
I'm sorry for your loss
I died during my labor and pain, 16 1/2 hours of pain and labor until I couldn’t take it no more. My experiences of dying on and after was so different from others. We all experienced deaths but only in a different way and direction. I still remember everything and it was such a beautiful, blessing and miracle journey, because there is power in the name of Jesus … 🙏😇♥️💗❤️💕
I'm sorry to hear about that extremely difficult labor, MyLife.... What a gift that you were given a miraculous and beautiful blessing to counterbalance the struggle! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Giving birth is the closet to death we can come to, without actually dying. Child birth truly is profound!
I did too, and my daughter wasnt breathing either. I only remember floating up and looking at a girl and a baby and wondering what was wrong with them. Very peaceful. That was all, then I was back in the body and I heard my daughter cry. We both made it🤗
To Jesus be all Glory!
Sure thing
If he's dead, how did he relay the information?
Zamora Pakalolo Easily ..when we have LEFT our earthly bodies ..we Still have THOUGHT ..some people.those who are still IN Thier bodies " alive" as we call it are able to both HEAR these thoughts ..( clairaudience) and in some cases see the so - called " dead" . However, this can have it's DANGERS....WE ( the living) are NOT THESE BODIES , we just Believe that we are ,while we have them. We are all wearing meat suits! The afterlife is REAL Left my body in 1982...saw some of what there IS, and returned. To put it another way...our brains TRANSMIT and RECIEVE. That's your answer.
@@melcomepay6668 I think I get what you're saying...my friend's father had died for 5 minutes when he came back he said that where he was he could see clearly. FFWD>>> before his final passing he was seeing things in the spirit realm, like native Americans and people going in and out of the light. While he was passing away he was talking to someone and then he said Elohim right before he finally passed away. From the first time he passed and came back he didn't tell all of what he saw, he just said his vision was clearer than what it was.
I can't believe someone would tell all of what they know because their experience is going to be different and they're not supposed to reveal too much. That's why I'm kinda doubtful about this explanation of what happens. Before my great grandma passed she reached up and called out two of her sisters names and 2 weeks later one after the other, they passed away as well and neither were sick or dying. You hear different stories of people dying and coming back to give either a horrific story of hell or a beautif ul story of heaven and I think that's for religious propaganda because they profit off of a book or movie rights to keep people dumb down. I'm not saying there is no creator, I just don't believe all of the man made religious hype.
Haha!! Exactly!
That's a great question. Swedenborg spend decades of his life while still on earth being able to communicate with angels and spirits. His information came from these encounters...for more information, check out this brief clip: th-cam.com/video/HEa0e8AcS78/w-d-xo.html
Wow this is amazing! Almost everyone here is prepared for death. I’m glad I felt I’m not d only one who is not afraid of death. I lost my mom when I was only 8 yo. My life after my mom completely had changed. I misses her a lot up to this day. Can’t wait to hug her again. And of course to see Jesus Christ. Especially now realizing our world is a hell.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, Nhat Meg. Thank you for watching! Yes, you and your beloved mom will have a joyful reunion someday, with lots of hugs and laughter and togetherness. All genuine love between people comes from the Lord, and so he wants to sustain that love between people, forever! 💗
God did not create a hell for us to live in.
He created the Heavens and the earth for us and He saw that it was good.
@@juliemolnar7278 Hell does not exist,. you could say earth is hell because this is the place where others treat others bad .
Same I'm no longer afraid of death but instead I find it joyful and peaceful for at once we will be going home and see our loved ones who passed I believe it with my whole heart ❤️
God bless you!
Can't wait to see GOD!
What a joyful and awe-filled thing to anticipate, Jacquelen!
very good
@Carolyn Ekuka Our channel is dedicated to sharing information written down by Emanuel Swedenborg. After an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer and Bible study, Swedenborg had a powerful vision of Jesus Christ, who opened Swedenborg's spiritual sight, and called him to the mission of learning about the afterlife and the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come. Jesus indicated that there would be more information coming someday:
“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.”
-John 16:25
“If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12).
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12).
@Carolyn Ekuka It's good that you are content to be here on earth until it is your time to cross over! God's Providence is leading all of our journeys.
@Carolyn Ekuka facts lol 💯
I'M READY TO SEE JESUS 🙌🙌😇. AFTER SEEING THIS VIDEO
I hope you get to meet in a profound and obvious way - but even if you don't, Jesus is always with you! God is with all of us.
Remember: "nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21).

God said " I am in you, and you are in me", I love the lord, I pray ever day, I pray for everyone, you can't listen to what man says, that's why we have the bible. We are all teachers,, " many shall be called, but few shall be chosen, I stand at the door, come in to me, I shall sup with you, and you shall sup with me, many false prophets Will say , he's over here or there he is, no, many shall bear false witness, the lord says,, even the very elite, shall be fooled. You have to keep god's laws , the ten commandments to stay saved. I know the truth, and I share it with anyone who wants to hear, bless you, and you will be in my prayers.
@@jimcassell6895 thank you for those words of scripture and prayer.
This is beautiful and brilliant, thank you so much for sharing.
It has brought me a lovely feeling of peace, in my mind, body and heart.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for reaching out to tell us so, Sian! May that blessing of peace continue. Thanks for watching!
I am the same because I believe there is something deep inside of us that recognises this as true. While watching this I was reminded of something terrible that I had done as a teenager and it made me realise just how deeply ashamed I am of that act. I feel I have changed so much in this life that I find it hard to recognise myself as I was. I am in no way eager to leave this life yet, as I believe I still have more to do here, but at the same time I am excited about the next stage of my journey as well.
@@englishguy215 there is a saying that if you look at your past and feel shame, it's because you have grown since then. I too have done so many things I have felt ashamed of but we also are blessed with the ability to see meaning in our situations, to find the true reasons why we did those things which are usually due to a wound we can then give love to the part of yourself that was underneath that action such as that insecure child who bullied another, the teenager that didn't know how to properly connect so became promiscuous, the adult that didn't know how to deal with their life so turned to drugs.
I believe the true God is unconditionally loving, the fact that the Bible has contradictions to this i feel comes more from the Human race not feeling as though they deserve that kind of love.. I feel deep inside that it's important for us to learn to truly forgive yourself Independantly and learn to love yourself Independantly so that we may align with God.
For God to be oneness then God would have to love itself Completely.
There is a couple great Teachers that I have listened to over the years that have helped me with this, one is Tara Brach another is Ram Dass and the last which gives alot of advice is Teal Swan.
Trust the process Brother, of shedding all that isn't truely You, your core is not evil and even the densest mass can be dissolved over time with enough inner work, patience and love.
Bless you
I just found you guys and Swedenborg and all I can say is I knew it! I've been looking for answers for years. I will read everything I possibly can and watch all of your videos. Thank you a MILLION times for offering them at no cost. I take care of my 88 year old grandmother and I home school my 11 year old son. I don't work a job for which I earn money and can't afford much. I study and learn all I can on the computer to be self educated. I don't have a college education, however, I can probably give a college graduate or two a run for their money. LOL! I am Christian believer, however, my beliefs are not what most believe. I do currently study A Course In Miracles along with practicing unconditional love for everyone who enters into my life and even those who I feel led to help by perhaps entering into theirs....I feel as if I have found a huge piece to a puzzle I have been working since a child. I've always had more questions than anyone at church could answer as a child and teenager. Then in 2001 with me in my early 20's, a newlywed with a 2 year old daughter, my Mother was brutally murdered by her husband. I had 2 younger sisters by my Mother who were 8 & 9 to raise at that point. 2 years later my Maternal Grandfather who raised me died of a broken heart literally. His heart stopped working. 3 years later in 2006 my sister Emily (the 9 year old ) died in a car wreck 8 days after her 16th birthday. I also had 2 siblings by my Dad a brother & sister, and it was then in 2009 one of my other sisters Jessica (from my Dad) died at 23 with two separate entities of cancer in her precious body. Married with two babies, diagnosed in Sept. and by Jan. 2nd of 2009 she was just gone.... So yes I had many many questions....I Know and have always known that I will see them again one day. This led me to the Near death videos and the stories of thousands which I've read. Dr. Eben Alexander actually was a Dr. here in the town I live in AT the hospital we ALL were born in. I felt that was a sign for me. Maybe, I'll find out one day. I can't express the relief & joy I have in finding you! I love God & I can't wait to see all of my loved ones and further my education of Loving people & helping others. May God Bless You All!!!
Namaste,
Melanie
See my response under the "You Are the Lungs" video. Blessings to you!
Your story had me riveted! I’m a former h.s. English teacher, and in think you should write a book! I’m sorry for such a problematic life that brought you so many miseries. It sounds like you have your act together and have overcome so much adversity that I know you will be happy and at peace now and after death.
Many blessings to you❣️🙏💫🌷
Wonderful information on which many unanswered questions and doubts are put to rest .So who was meant to be our soulmates in this physical body would be met in our spiritual body on earth also as spirits is it .?
How can one love and be so aligned to another soul when they are not physically together here.
We feel their presence ,and know that they belonged sometime in our past life to know their true nature Are there any explanations when their emotions of wanting to be with each belong to the spirit world as natural as it seems .? .Knowing them as if they have lived together
Mind vs mind ,heart vs heart .
Yet far apart and no contact physically.
why couldn't we all just have been spiritual from the beginning? Just knowing joy and love and never knowing anything of sickness or death.
Swedenborg learned that it is really important to start out on the physical level, because it acts as a foundation for our eternal identity, as well as acting as a foundation for all of creation, including the spiritual parts of creation. Here are a couple of short clips in which we discuss that:
"What's the Point of Having a Physical Body?" th-cam.com/video/LXj8Q2VuPfs/w-d-xo.html
"The Essential Connection of the Physical and Spiritual Worlds" th-cam.com/video/Mrx7PRW0l-o/w-d-xo.html
TheKeetkeet66 May be we were? When asked by a reliable medium, or other source ( I mean RELIABLE ,there are lots of fakes) We are sometimes told that we are in school ..the purpose appears to progression! ( Of our souls). Mp
We were created perfect and completely spiritual minded but, Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and when they did, it affected the bloodline of all mankind. However, through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we were made right again. Human beings always have a spirit and a soul but, after the fall, the spirit of mankind died and we only operated through our soul. The soul is the mind, will and emotions. The spirit is part of us that communes with God. We cannot commune with God through our soul alone. This is why Jesus came. We become spiritually minded again and able to communicate with God when we believe on Jesus Christ and receive His blood sacrifice for us. The things spoken in this video are not necessarily untrue. One downside is not explaining how we come to that spiritual awakening. Most likely, it's due to unbelief on their part since Jesus Christ wasn't mentioned once. It's only through Jesus Christ that we can awaken our spirit. The other downside is that getting to Heaven actually has nothing to do with being good bad. Some good people go to Heaven and some bad people go to hell but, there are also some good people who go to hell and some bad people who go to Heaven. It's not based on that. It's based upon whether or not a person receives the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ or not. The Bible makes it clear: If you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and confess him as Lord, you will be saved. That is a paraphrase but, there are many verses about it and in different forms.

We’re actually spirit in human flesh I call it the meat suit
Alpha Draconian I once heard it referred to as a meat puppet. Lol. Thought that was appropriate.
The spirit body is within the physical it just vibrates at a higher frequency and that's where the spirit world is we don't go up or down its just a matter of frequency. That's why we cant see rhem after they pass , they are solid in spirit world , this is the illusion .
I hope that is true. It’s not really evidence of a soul. I just wish the people who died so unexpectedly young so suddenly i can see again in some other world. But i just like to think of a realistic standpoint :(
That not what scripture teaches!
Thanks!!! I love these wonderful Swedenborg's videos. Death is a continuation of life. Death is a begining ...not the end. Life is ''transformed'' into eternal life. Amen!!!!
It's wonderful to hear from you, Mary! I'm so glad these concepts are resonating with your heart. God bless!
Scripture doesn't teach that!
I read months ago that there is no such thing as death - only change, and that is comforting.
@@barbaraallsopp554 May be comforting, but definitely not scripture!
Hi Mary how are you doing?
I'm in tears. I love that even in the afterlife, God still gives us a chance to make changes. Definitely different from what the Bible says. Just another little nugget to make my faith stronger. Blessings and Namaste to my dear people at Off The Left Eye, thank you for this video. I no longer have fear of death. And I'm 32 yrs old, got a lot of life left. This is why my faith in Christianity has been discouraging, difficult, and has added MORE fear and anxiety to me personally. We humans are God's creation, there should be no condemnation. I just hope that God is looking at all of us with a smile.
Here is a quote from True Christianity 56.
"God cannot turn away from us or even look at us with a frown. To do any such thing would be against his essence, and what is against his essence is against himself."
You are right that God continues to give us freedom, and longs for our happiness above all. Perhaps you know that the most frequent command in the bible is "do not fear." God wants you to feel safe in his love! Take care, Cam.
@@offTheLeftEye So, God doesn't frown upon homosexuals? I ask because so often I see so many heated arguments between pastors on a college campus and people who maybe don't believe in or question God. The pastors hold up the big signs that say Homosexuals REPENT and it's just madness. LBGTQ+ people are born the way they are. They shouldn't be condemned or judged
God absolutely loves everyone, and wants them to be happy. He also asks us not to judge one another, and that keeps me honest.
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." Matthew 7
Working on my own mistakes keeps me busy. God will take perfect care of other people, and I can treat them with respect in the meantime. Take care Cam.
I passed through a tunnel and a light so bright but the light did not hurt my eyes. I came to a beautiful white place. A white color i have never seen . I felt so much love.

My dear wife love of my life just passed away three months ago and I thought I was gonna lose my mind. Even if these videos are not true, and I really hope they are, they gave a little bit of hope and comfort and the pain became a little bit easier to bear. I really hope to God, Swedenborg and gang are right.
Dear Juan, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. Three months without the love of your life, after years of physical closeness, must be deeply painful. You are not alone in your grief, and I am so glad you felt moved to share with us a window into your personal experience. What you wrote will help others in your same situation! As for Swedenborg, I am so glad to hear that his ideas about the afterlife have lifted your spirit. That is exactly why we're interested in sharing them! Each of us needs nourishment for our bodies, but what's more, we need spiritual food in order to keep going through the rough times.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. Take it one day at a time. Don't allow anyone to force your grieving process. And become closer to God he will comfort you.

I rarely hear about animals in heaven, I refuse to believe Christ is that shallow to not give the innocent creatures a soul, I watch my dog dream and its conscience is its soul!

@@offTheLeftEye Thank you I will watch it. animals were never created to be eaten! this is Satan's fault to try & destroy God's original plan. killing a live creature to eat its flesh is barbaric to me as animals have mastered unconditional love, unlike humans. to say animals could be alive? Christ in the book of Revelation comes back to destroy evil on a white horse, do you think this is symbolic, it's literal. to say just horses are in heaven and nothing else would be ignorant. I know they have souls not maybe. the Holy Spirit has not enlightened your soul about the subject.

@@offTheLeftEye Christ be with you brother. I apologize if I came off wrong. Jesus Christ is my hero & love is lacking nowadays & I have seen other cultures burn dogs & cats alive because they believe it makes the meat tender! total madness.
@@duke4384 what a disturbing scene to witness! I'm so sorry you saw that, and even sorrier that it happened to those poor animals. That seems cruel and immoral by any code!
Swedenborg believed that the earliest people did not eat animals, but over time, as we distanced ourselves from God, people began to eat meat.

If it is your deepest desire to live a life of mutual love and love for the Lord, then so you shall!
You have to get past the present life and the reality of that first and play by its rules...otherwise you are wasting your time and energy
@@certaindeed What do you mean get pass first life play by rules?
@@Oceanusnovas-um2zf I mean that if you follow scripture and Christian ideals to the letter you are going to get taken advantage of and lose out on many occasions. At 50 years old I speak from retrospective experience and I can tell you I lost out and got taken advantage of because of my Christian ideals. Only recently did I realize this. Most people only follow the word of the Lord and behave accordingly when it is convenient. Few are willing to seek the truth, face the truth, and act accordingly according to their religion in a situation that is not beneficial to their best interest. If you stick with it and they don't in the situation...you will get screwed. That I'd why the hard core Muslims and hard core Jews only deal with and extend their behavior to those of their faith and not others. Sadly, there is merit to this behavior and practice.
@Carolyn Ekuka I'm not willing to die daily. Better to survive with some comfort and prosperity since it makes it a lot easier and more effective with more time to preach Christian ideals.
Swedenborgs teachings got me through the loss of my mom, and made me realize she's still with me. Thank you Curtis

The dead know nothing. It's in the Bible we sleep. The dead know nothing. There is no other way it's God's way or no way
@@ronniedrake8196 the Bible definitely says that! On this channel, we share the theological works of Swedish scientist Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a Bible scholar and devout Christian. Swedenborg began having visions of Jesus Christ and devoted the last almost thirty years of his life to recording what he learned in many volumes - one of the most incredible of his ideas is that the Bible is written in parable, something the Bible actually tells us many times!
Here are a few examples:
‘Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. Who among you will give a stone if his son asks him for bread? If then you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask him?” (Matthew 7:7-11)
“All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). “If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12).

We share this information for anyone who is interested, but we also respect that everyone is on their own spiritual path, and in their own relationship with the Word and with God. We respect your right to decide for yourself whether to accept what Swedenborg learned, or not. Thank you for sharing your perspective on all this, and we are wishing you well. God bless!
Oh wow, a Christian Scientist.. sorry but I’m surprised. Since so many if not, all of them don’t believe any kind of supernatural entity/entities.. idk how many times I’ve heard that
@@meghaneternal-darkness5036 Yes, Swedenborg is unique in that way! In his writings you will find a uniting of religion/spirituality and science. Both come from God, and therefore are supposed to work in harmony! Here's a very short video about a Bible prophecy that Swedenborg learned is talking about a future union between science and spirituality: th-cam.com/video/6Mq4NTiPDKA/w-d-xo.html
I just lost my Dad. We were so close it's like we were one person and when he left me I didn't want to live. He talks to me everyday and I talk to him. He tells me he is fine and he wants me to be happy. Thank you so much for the video which has helped me so much. But may I ask how do you know this is true? I pray it is.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss, Debra Jean. You must be in pain, having loved your dad like you did. I am glad to know, though, that you are in touch with him still! It is the truth, according to Emanuel Swedenborg, that our spirits never die. A spirit (a person) is defined by what she or he loves. And if we love the same things that others do, we are linked to these people forever! That means you will reunite in the spiritual world, when it's your time to enter the afterlife.
What I'm sharing now is based on the ideas recorded by eighteenth-century spiritual teacher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). Swedenborg was a brilliant and accomplished scientist who also had a strong background in the Christian faith. In his mid-50s, he went through an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer and Bible study, after which he began to see spiritual visions, and then had a powerful vision of Jesus Christ. Christ called him to a mission of learning about the afterlife and about the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come that Jesus had predicted, when more information would be revealed. Using his scientific skills, Swedenborg meticuolously recorded what he witnessed and learned in the visions that happened daily for about 27 years. We want everyone to decide for themselves whether to believe this information from Swedenborg's books or not, but we find it to be healing information that makes sense out of life and the Bible, and so we want to share it with everyone who is interested. For more information about Swedenborg and his credentials, see the following:

I know how you feel. I can’t believe that he’s gone. He’s so present in my mind. Still so alive and yet absolutely gone. The pain cuts so deep. I believe in the everlasting life for all of us and yet it hurts
My dad passed at 92, but months later he visited me and was the young, handsome man he once been. He sat on the edge of my bed and told me to tell the rest of my family that he was fine and happy and not to worry about him. Up until that point, he had sent me many signs, but after that visit, I think he is comfortably at home in heaven now, because those signs are fewer.
What an experience, Patricia! Thank you for sharing! You sound reassured by his visit and by his less frequent contact following the visit. That certainly lines up with Swedenborg's take on what happens in the afterlife: we all continue to live! Your dad is very likely engaged with the useful, joy-filled activities to which he is uniquely suited!
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 KJV

@@offTheLeftEye Not necessary, ... scripture already stated, the chosen are of the 12 tribes of Israel. Furthermore, humans were never meant for Heaven! Religious leaders have falsely been teaching people, that going to Heaven was the norm! It never was! Jesus himself said, no one has ever gone there! Moses never taught this, in any of his writing! Nor did king David (who God favored) even he never went there! In fact, humans never went there...(until) Jesus offered Heaven to the first humans (ever)...his 11 disciples,...they are the first! Second, religious leaders also fail at teaching what scripture says about the Earth! Scripture says it will remain forever! Still, even Jesus said, the Resurrection has not happened yet! Yet people are saying otherwise! Did not God tell our first parents, that they will die and return to the ground? Yet, notice who said otherwise,...it was Satan who said, you surely will not die! Therefore, this video supports Satan! Moses spoke directly with God,...for 40 years,...he taught none of these teachings ! So did God forget to tell the real Jews, the real deal? Did God lie to our first parents? Think on these things.
@@mrg466 1 Corinthians 15 tells us that after the death of the physical body, we will be raised to spiritual life in a spiritual body. And there are other Bible passages speaking of an immediate afterlife, or resurrection, after death:
"Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)
Jesus pointed out that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were alive right then, in the present: "But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him” (Luke 20:37-38)
When Jesus was transfigured on the mountain, the spirits of Moses and Elijah appeared next to him, quite alive and awake. (Matthew 17)
The story that Jesus told about the rich man and Lazarus describes an immediate afterlife that people go into (Luke 16:19-31).
These two promises Jesus gave indicate a place in the very near future rather than a greatly distant future: "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2).
"Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:42-43).
Jesus indicates that what he will demonstrate (bodily death and then resurrection three days later) is something that now all humans can do, too. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also" (John 14:19).
Paul wrote about the spiritual body that will be raised up, rather than the physical body: “So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44).
Jesus said that Abraham “rejoiced to see my day,” thus saying that Abraham, who had died centuries before, was conscious of the coming of Jesus:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple,going through the midst of them, and so passed by.”
-John 8:51-59

It sounds like you're in a painful spot, Mandy. Not easy to hang in there, is it. This is Kendall; I'm part of our community team at OTLE. You are not alone in your eagerness to find more peace. Spiritual struggle reminds me of a violent storm. I live in Pennsylvania, and in recent years we've had our fair share of tornado warnings, which terrify me. There is simply nothing I can do to tell the tornado to go away. What I can do is heed the guidance of those I trust and go into my basement for a little while, till the worst of the winds dies down. That's what I have to do in spiritual life, too. Find a retreat, even if only for a few minutes. With prayer, with a phone call, with rest. With breath. Over time the clouds do recede and the sunlight peeks at me, brightly even, once again. May you find a moment's peace today, however it appears, and may it offer you release from struggle and pain. My heart is with yours, friend. Keep on keeping on!

PeoplePeople need to pay attention ..we dont know death we only see life and what you should recognize is our brains made to record..we remember back to our childhood like it was yesterday which all will come back up at end of life...
@@sheilapatterson746 a life review at the end of life - yes, I've heard of that! And I agree with you, Sheila; death is merely a transition - in which we are reborn into a more real and wonderful world than this, and life continues!
You know when I walk down the street I see what the earth looks like now and what God said how he made it in the beginning...and look what we did to it...destroyed his dream... but when a person dies we all go into
.what is death.....simple the end of life on this earth..anything further we wont know...i hate when people say what will happen as when they never experience it
....i know for fact about life that our brain are programmed as a recorder of past events...is it to rewind our life during death..will never know
@@sheilapatterson746 We certainly respect your right to choose what to believe! We believe that God wants us to know about the full picture of reality, including what happens after death, and so when the time was right, God called Emanuel Swedenborg to the mission of learning about the afterlife and writing it down, because the time had come that humanity was ready to learn more about that. Again, there is no need for you to watch or to agree with what we share. But if you ever want to know a little more about Emanuel Swedenborg and his credentials, here is one short video and two longer ones about that:

Oh Michelle -- This touches my heart! Whatever "accident" brought you here, I am so glad you have found these ideas to be comforting and life-changing! So glad to have you along on this journey -- thanks for reaching out with your lovely feedback.
The United States is a Christian country. I wonder what would happen if this video was shown to a different country. I feel offended by this whole video. This video causes me shame. It seems like wheat I taught as a little girl is being mocked. Like I am doing something deadly wrong. We people who worship differently get people accuse us of making them upset while they do the same to us. Death is darkness.
That is how I was brought up. Peace
Hi Michelle how are you doing?
Sorry, that is not true, I died eleven times one was 22min and I came back. When you ask, what happens. No one can tell you. You will find out when you die. So live life as much as you can, do not live waiting to die. THANL YOU
Yes, ghostsavengers -- We'll find out when we die. Though an NDE might be a real visit to the spiritual world, I wonder if the experience would be different when we are finished with our body once and for all.
This video is based on an experience given to Emanuel Swedenborg, for the sake of learning (and sharing) what it's like to die and wake up on the other side. Take what you like and leave the rest!
I had a NDE. It was amazingly beautiful. You do remain your individual soul BUT I realized that when you die, you do not bring one memory of your life. It’s like leaving the classroom. Your life is done and you are moving on....surrounded by total peace and love. And a deep new understanding.
Bella Bijou Exactly ..i left my body in 1982...hovered above it ,and felt myself being " pulled" up a tunnel which had a BEAUTIFUL white light light in it ..there is much more to my very real experience...but I can say I did NOT want to come back here to Earth..and I told them so.I believe it is THE most important thing that those of us who have experienced this should tell others. However, I have found, that it is almost impossible to get others to understand this properly. In my case it was not due to an accident/operation , as it is with so many people . Never, never , allow others to get you to Believe that it's all our imagination. It is not! We are not these bodies! We're just wearing a meat suit' !
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful insight from your experience, Bella! Yes, there is so much earthly memory that would be useless and even detrimental, holding us back, once we cross over. Swedenborg learned that what we keep is only those deeper things from earthly experience -- deeper bonds of love and deeper realizations and insights. We dig into that in our episode "What Will You Remember in the Afterlife?" th-cam.com/video/ChnFC9N0jfc/w-d-xo.html

we don't know until we die. has anyone came back to tell us.
@@janeyd5280 absolutely! Jesus Christ did he told Mary and his disciples he was with the Father and also teaching in the spirit world after dying on the cross and being resurected.
That not true, God gave us his written word, the 1611 King James bible, to help us know the truth about him, and all the things we need to know while here, to get us to the right place after we pass from this world , people stop believing this liars, they are meeting familiar spirits, DEMONS, posing as holy angels, read and believe the bible,
According to what the Lord told me all's will be buried in the dust back to the dust we must all's go he told me know one just die a go to heaven it doesn't work that way an in the last day when this whorld end we will all's see Jesus on judgment day the trumpet will sound everyone will wake from their grave an give account to everything done on earth in this life an he said if know one name is written in the book of Life to live in heaven is going to hell an trust me know one want to go their know water in hell I'm not planning to go there I won't to live with the Lord.
We can only guess. Nobody knows. When the narrator started talking about god and angels, he lost credibility.
This channel is based on the experiences of Emanuel Swedenborg who visited the afterlife. We hope you can find a channel that works better for you Michael.
My mom passed 8•23•17 while I was 8 months pregnant, only for my son to be born the following month on her birthday 9•23. Her passing was so unexpected and I'm still grieving her 2.5 yrs later. I will always miss her, she was my best friend.
I can't wait to see her and my Granny again...but I'm curious if while we are going through all of these phases and learning on the other side, are they still with us or accessible to us, or are we only reunited with them at first and then move on to all of this, not seeing them anymore if we end up in other places/groups ? I know no one really has this answer, but I can't imagine being reunited with your loved ones and then being separated permanently to go through these phases....what would be the point of reuniting then?
LS, I'm so sorry for your loss, especially at such a vulnerable period of your life. It is so cool that your son was born on your mom's birthday! Seems she was with you still. Grief never really goes away, but it changes form and intensity over time. I'm glad you have faith for a reunion - you will certainly see each other again!
Time and space are so different in the next world - you are never truly separated from anyone the way you are here. Anytime you want to see them, you just think of them, and if they want to see you to the connection is instantaneous. It would be like living in different neighborhoods (although you may be in the same neighborhood, I don't know!) and traveling telepathically. Check out this episode, "How The Spiritual World Is Like The Internet," th-cam.com/video/OdV8rxVHT2o/w-d-xo.html for more on how this works according to Swedenborg!
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. I wish more people understood what I went through, in this way. It was a vulnerable time for me, and I had to postpone my grieving until after he was born, so he wouldn't feel it and it affect him. So when he was born and I started grieving, post partum depression set in, of course.😔 She was "my person" and to have that suddenly taken from you without much notice, is absolutely devastating.
My husband lost his mom 4 yrs & 3 days prior to me losing mine, and I thought since he had been through it he would understand to show compassion & empathy, and remember how grief reveals itself...instead, for the most part, he lacks compassion & empathy, telling me not to be upset because she wouldn't want me to be..🤨 I know that. But losing your mother, while becoming one yourself- regardless if it's your 1st child or 7th, it was the worst heartbreak I've ever had.
I did most certainly feet her the day he was born. I could feel her presence very strongly and she knew they shared a birthday- just like she said they would, throughout my whole pregnancy, ironically.💞 The only difference was, she was supposed to be with me, by my side.🤱🏼
I will definitely check out the other video, thanks again.
@@laceyschanne Wow, yes, you were in a very vulnerable state. I completely understand! I (Karin) lost my oldest daughter in a car accident just a month before my fourth child was born. What a mixture of emotions! Sometimes I wondered a WHY I would have an infant at a time of having to deal with such grief. At other times I would realize that having an infant at that time gave me a necessary reason to get out of bed each day, instead of going into my room and never coming out. I can certainly understand postpartum depression! I hope you can come to recognize your mom's loving presence as you interact with your little son. Her love is strongly present in that relationship! I know how much you ache to have her physically present. I hope and pray that you can come to feel the more subtle ways that she is always spiritually present with you and your child. ❤
From some NDES I have watched, when our loved ones die, they can re-incarnate back to the family; blood-line. But that they won't retain the same gender; however, they carry with them some skills or talents they accumulated from their previous lives or lifetimes. Their tendencies to do something as an individual is like a tell-tale sign about who's who. We recently lost a family member and now looking forward to welcoming them back if they ever get to incarnate back to earth. At least it gives us hope 🙏 .
Pppppppp
The very first dream of my daughter after she passed gave me hope, I have to write a story about it her face had never been happier
That's wonderful, Gloria! I'm so glad you had that dream! It must have been a great comfort.
Fabulous. Thanks for all your hard work. It helps me to endure.
It's a real honor doing this work, William. Thanks for learning and growing with us. May the Lord's infinite love for you provide you strength.
Yes.
Thank-you. I was studying Swedenborg's teachings when I was much younger, over 40 years ago, but got away from it, although it left a lasting impression on me. That's when I became a born-again Christian. I have belonged to a few other churches since then, but none ever felt as right. Unfortunately, there have been no Swedenborg churches near me except one, and the minister there said he didn't teach Swedenborg's teachings even though it was a Swedenborg beliefs church. I'm so glad I found your TH-cam videos.
Interesting journey, kasey. So glad you've found some community around these ideas here on OTLE. I'd love to know a few ideas that stuck with you through the years -- the ones that DID continue to feel right, if you'd like to share.

to a church you can just go for the vibe atmosphere and inspiration. its a sacred place. you dont even need to understand the language. its not a lecture. you just try to feel it and you can even go to a service in a beautiful church in a language that you dont understand, ive done that. however a preacher from time to time may say some motivational useful thing and then knowing the language may help
This was a powerful episode. It’s all about the ❤️ love. .......Once your happy, you WANT to do good things. You CARE about others. But when when your on the earth, under the force of SIN, things like heredity, bad treatment, being misled, causes a lot of confusion, hatred , anger and pain. You can be basically someone whom you don’t wish to be here on the earth. But if this is a source of learning, I suppose it would be needed to further your development in the spirit world. 👍🏻❤️🙏🙂
These are great thoughts, Julian! It's a process to change one's operating system from self-serving desires to true altruism. But the Lord knows us, loves us, and works with us every step of the way. There is tremendous hope, my friend!
I'm hoping to be greeted by the ones I cared about.
Me, too! That is exactly what Swedenborg says can happen for each of us! You may find these episodes comforting. "What Does It Feel Like to Die?" th-cam.com/video/hWU0PA-PDDo/w-d-xo.html "How Angels Take Care of Us When We Die." th-cam.com/video/1rnk72vH7Ws/w-d-xo.html
If you have cancer or a medical condition that is terminal I'm sure death is painful. Hospice makes sure the patient is pumped with all the legal narcotics. Most people linger for a week without food or fluids. They seem to eventually have decreased breathing and the vital organs start slowing down
I witnessed my husband and father go through the death process. I did notice there were some pain and
seizures.
The fortunate ones are the people who just pass away in their sleep.
The lucky ones free of disease.
I'm sure we come into the world with some pain and exit with some pain.
@@lorij6796 There can indeed be pain involved in the final stages of disease. I'm grateful for Hospice which can focus on doing everything possible to bring relief from physical pain. But when the actual crossing over process begins, there is no pain! Even if the physical body looks like the person must be feeling a lot of pain, it seems that the spirit has already exited, and is not experiencing the pain. See these episodes:

Why would you think that, Ramaraksha? I believe love never dies - we will always be connected with our loved ones, no matter whether we are in a physical or spiritual state. It seems there are stories of angels intervening physically in our lives - but most often, they communicate spiritually.
Are you interested in our ideas about this? It seems like you do not like our channel very much or agree with the message. I have shared many episodes and comments with you and I get the sense that you don't like this very much. Totally fine if it's not your thing.
@@ramaraksha01 are you asking how, if there is a God, and if there is a heaven, there continues to be so much suffering on earth? You're right - it's a very important question, and not one we shy away from here.
If you're interested in what we believe about that, here are several episodes that address that head on, from shortest to longest:

I hope those are useful to you. It is my belief that by loving each other, and doing good, we are actively making the world better for ALL OF US in each moment - no effort to love is wasted. I believe our lives matter and that we can change things, even in the smallest moments. And I think the more we continue to do this, the less suffering we will see for all people - because all people are important, worthy, and deeply loved.
Hope that helps!
I want to be with Jesus,Mother and Daddy.I have a lot of love ones in Heaven..Praise God Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Aw, Mary, I'm so sorry for all of your losses. It's so hard to have many loved ones there and be stuck here! But I hope you find meaning in your life while you wait to meet them. You might like our episode, "Does My Life Matter?" th-cam.com/video/33FfPQsf_zU/w-d-xo.html (spoiler alert - it definitely does!). Praise God indeed!
Clicked when I saw Swedenborg. Was fascinated by Emanuel Swedenborg’s writing many years ago.
Interesting, Scarbo! There's lots to explore on this channel about the ideas Swedenborg wrote about. May you find some helpful and inspiring videos here!
