Seeing and looking for the function every person will play in the Grand Human someday - helps me think about and relate differently, and more connectedly to absolutely everyone in my life - no exceptions!!! Now that is amazing!!!❤❤
Curtis Childs is number one in my heart and mind we will be on the Swedenborg team in heaven and what about meeting Swedenborg on heaven one ☝️ day lol Imagine that !!!😮
Hello Curt, Wonderful video man!! It always astounds me that on the surface we all seem so different, but on the deeper levels all our souls share an amazing bond. Thank you for sharing you knowledge friend. Have a good week.
My celebrity is my mom's mom, Grandma Thomas. We used last names for grandparents as a show of respect back then. She was the wisest woman I ever have known, a farm woman who managed the finances impeccably. She also loved and cared for babies as a midwife. In the last days of her life, she said that it was so hard to "stay on this side of the fence" because she was visiting with her husband, children and granddaughter, all who had already gone to the spiritual world. She also said that she was caring for babies, but the funny thing was that she didn't have feed or change their diapers. I know that is where she is in heaven, perhaps in the uterus of the Grand Human, but I am not sure of the correspondence. Any guesses?
4theLord that is a wonderful story. Your grandmother sounds like a wonderful person..... I love her line about staying on this side of the fence. I think your idea of her being in the uterus fits perfectly. Babies made her happy!
Perhaps the most ancients were so close to the Lord through correspondences that the few angels who were in heaven in the beginning and the Lord Himself took care of that problem.
@@offTheLeftEye I came to the conclusion 10+ years ago that it's unverifiable through personal experience. I can visualize a scenario where higher levels of heaven exist than Swedenborg was able to perceive, which is the branch from which the leaf of the human race grows.
Thanks, happygolucky! Did you come via the Next Level Soul interview with Curtis? Glad you're enjoying what you're finding -- there are MANY videos and topics to explore. We will keep creating, but there are lots of really good videos, going back about 13 years, that are still powerful and helpful. Blessings to you on this new leg of your spiritual journey!
How i see is that we begin by being in our human heart, our wants and needs. Humans are needy of love. We seek what we love to feel love. Its our stepping stone to the Spiritual heart. The very core of who we are. This is even before our thought. Its what always exists. Our very essence that is life and the force before its existence. Kind of thing. I think maybe that life being human in form, is to journey through each of the limbs as youve described. Every single part of being human from a spiritual perspective is a journey. My question would be, where does thought cone from. They pop up from nowhere, sometimes.😂 Are we all the force behind thought that pushes us into existence? Afterall, love from a human perspective brings forth the idea of wanting to have a baby. Love to stretch my mind.☺️ Love your show and this really sent me off in thought Thankyou... Have a wondrous day to all Love, Peace and beautiful Blessings ✨💛✨
Great questions, HEART2HEART. Thoughts come to us from the spiritual world. We receive them and they feel like they originated with us. That is how God gives us a sense of autonomy. It is not our thought that creates our own existence. Rather God created us and continues to flow with his life into us. Thanks for the conversation.
@@offTheLeftEye Interesting! So, I wonder if even negative thoughts come from the spiritual collective. What's your thoughts on the negative side of it?
@@themadisons513 Thanks for that important question. Here is a video about stopping negative self talk. th-cam.com/video/qlHlH3xjIas/w-d-xo.html Here is a wonderful quote about where negative thoughts really come from."If a person were to believe, as is the truth, that all goodness and truth originate from the Lord, and all evil and falsity from hell, he would not assign goodness to himself and make it deserving of merit, nor assign evil to himself and make himself guilty of it. " Divine Providence 320
So you are saying that when one prays for help with any particular thing, whether it be help for this or that , if it is spiritual in nature, and for the good of the one asking, the prayer is answered and filtered down through those in Heaven who have a specialty in that area? I am picturing laptops receiving emails on daily prayer request, then everyone who can help with that joins together for a particular request (or not) and sends the answer or what ever was requested to individuals on earth. I am sure there are billions of prayers sent everyday, billions in Heaven answer? (side question: Are there billions of spirits in Hell , and can they interfere with prayers sent to Heaven or disrupt the answers being delivered?)
Great questions, Pamela. I believe that God protects our prayers from evil influences, and they do arrive safely. Yes, I think prayers are received and answered in different ways, and different angels have their own specialty. A lovely system. Great image of the laptops!
Interesting what Johnathan is saying about 'hardening the neck'. In fact, in the Alexander Technique we use the 'instruction' ... "let the neck become soft" as a way to allow a natural relaxation and posture in the body. So in fact 'hardening the neck' is bad for our natural bodies as well as our spiritual bodies.
Kidney's also filter out impurities. Like gold, in the fire, God is with us even through our tribulations as we are purified as humans to become as in the Spiritual form. Like the bibke writes, christ healed the cripple, the blind the dumb the plagued. Spiritually, teaches us to listen to our spirit, walk spiritually, and be healed. That kind of thing. This is how i read the bible. When God moved over the waters in the beginning, the fact we are mostly water and the face is our countenance, just cried out to me. Also Adam being mankind and eve the life giver. Separated... To me read that We are divided at birth from Eve, what gives us life. God/Spirit gives us life. When we believe we are only human, we are the dead walking. Believing we die. Husband and wife leave there earthly parents and cleave together as one. Is the Spirit and body/human form become one. No longer following 2 masters. In union at peace. Just to add some different ways of seeing. 😁🤗
Thank you HEART2HEART for your thoughtful comments. Yes once we are following one Master rather than 2 we will be at peace. Not the dead walking but alive to the miracle of spiritual life. Christ did those marvelous healings, and it is just as marvelous when we are healed of anger, contempt, and crippling resentment.
Our identity is what we love and care most about, MyHolydragon. Whatever is at our inmost core, whatever is deepest in our heart, is manifested in our outward appearance and motivates our entire existence. Is that what you mean?
All good. Wonder how fast we can go from the hand to the head? We obviously travel a lot in the spiritual world, and that travel can be instant or slow? Are we carried around by the angels, like travel guides?
Bob Marley....(Zebulon). The tongue/assertion. 3 birds, Redemption Song etc. Wouldn't be surprised if some celebrities named are in hell. Paul was damned I believe "thorn in side". Thorns,bramble, brier damnation. No internal sense to writings. Was in hell in Swedenborg's diary.
Thanks for your thoughts Richard It is not so much for the purpose of judging others that we suggest these names, as to give color to the idea of the concept of heaven as a human body. People contribute to the overall design of heaven, and seeing those particulars can make it more real.
Hello there guys! I have a question that might seem silly, anyway I'm looking forward to have it answered. Wouldn't the least moral people in heaven be just slightly more moral than the least evil people in hell? Who's to say someone is definitely good or evil since it's such a gray and shady area? I find this idea to be very confusing in Swedenborg's theology. If you could answer, I will be very happy, and even more if you do a show about that. Thank you. Joshua.
Thanks for asking what you really want to know about. Here is a playlist about heaven. studio.th-cam.com/users/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSngp4_pz7VaYnlWzl2-tEcS/edit Here is a playlist about hell. studio.th-cam.com/users/playlistPLgtFTXGqZdSncpNOKE2HvypghEOCCV2Q2/edit I think these will illustrate the enormous difference between those two realities. It is not simply a gray area in between, the gap is a great divide. As for who is to say if someone else is good or bad, the answer is , not us. We should not judge. Yet in the afterlife we will clearly see the intentions of another person, as it will manifest on their face. Does that make sense joshue?
@@offTheLeftEye I think it all goes to the intention of the person..... the moral action can be the same, but while the heavenly individual has good and the best interests of the other person in his heart, evil people have only their self interests in their heart. In this way, even an action that will be seen by many as imoral (such as being a porn actress) can be seen by God as moral, if the person's intentions are pure. Is that correct?
What about someone like me Curtis , I figure I'm a hangnail on the fickle finger of fate 😜 Just kidding around . Very interesting way to explain it , thanks so very much again for the video Curtis .

Swedenborg doesn't mention races, per se, to my knowledge, but he does talk about nationalities. He mentions many European countries, and Africa. That's what comes to mind, but there may be more that I'm not aware of.
Yorke/York Earl Hardwicke. House Stark "Game of Thrones". (Benjamin, the Wolf). Only house with freedom of testimony. Gavelkind succession. (All children inherit). Not primongeniture(eldest male only inherits).
I know you said you don't want to hear it... so I'll simply say: next time, it would be wiser to use fictional characters. Sherlock Holmes, Dorothy Gale, Frodo Baggins, etc. Fred Rogers and Rachel Carson seem like genuinely decent people, though. I imagine they are in Heaven, while all the others will go... elsewhere.
Hi, this is Karin. Do you not think it's possible that we could all get along? Swedenborg learned that in ancient times, people knew how to have differing opinions without letting that divide them into different "teams." They didn't have to agree about everything in order to still see each other as people worthy of kindness and respect. I think we could learn to get back to that kind of existence! Here's a short video about that in the context of religious doctrines: th-cam.com/video/ARA6Pd01yHQ/w-d-xo.html&t

Gee❤It’s getting more and more interesting...😊🎉
We are glad you find it so, Gardener. It sure keeps me coming back for more.
While reading Swedenborg I ran across this concept of our existence depending on heaven. I wondered at the time how the first humans managed to exist.
Does that mean you don't wonder about it anymore wfgit? I have never thought about that myself.
Perhaps the most ancients were so close to the Lord through correspondences that the few angels who were in heaven in the beginning and the Lord Himself took care of that problem.

Interesting conclusion wfgit. In any case, God is taking care of it, and us.
