Very sweet way to put it, anthony. A conduit, not the source itself -- and Curtis is very aware of that! So glad you feel the strength of the truth in these ideas!
That means SO much to us, Dianne! 💖 Thank you for being on this journey with us, continuing to learn and remind each other that God's love and providence are taking care of us, always.
Thanks for the message. I am learning all the time that I need these hard times to realize how important love is. I have learned to love so many more people lately and while I cry a lot from the trials it is always worth it. If this pandemic never happened I would never have questioned religion, life, or spiritual things. Through fear I have learned more love. I have also learned to love God more than any other time in my life and to be kind to everyone. I feel good being kind to others. It is its own reward.
Erica, thank you for this beautiful and powerful testimonial! I also find it so true that the hard times grow love within me, and that tears water that new growth. And yes -- kindness for its own sake is a blessing in itself. That's what Swedenborg says is the happiness of heaven! Thanks for being part of the conversation today!
Wow, Erica. I so relate to this. Starting to think that global probs & personal griefs are like diamond mines given from heaven. They look on the surface like a dirt pile of rubble. But there's light down there. But i guess we are the ones getting excavated, not something "out there."
The earthly level can be never-endingly tough, for sure, Scared of Mice. You are so blessed to feel the Lord beside you on the journey! May you continue to feel the Lord's strength and love along your path.
I listen to your channel every night. You are my meditation at night, earbuds in place, I end each day with your inspirational soul education. You’ve helped me further tap into the big picture. Usefulness-I enjoyed that video as well. I’ve always had a sense of inner peace even during horrendous life challenges, but since I’ve been listening to Off the Left Eye I’ve graduated to another spiritual plane. Mind, body, spirit was my mission this year and every year now. I’m grateful for you. Oh, and I often fall asleep listening to your programs, lol, so there’s a ton of subliminal messaging going on. I end up listening to your posts multiple times because of that. Peace be with you.
Barbara, it is so touching to us to know that people fall asleep to our videos -- it must mean you feel safe and peaceful. It's not that you're bored -- lol! It's great to know that both the subliminal and the conscious messages are helping you on your spiritual journey. Thanks for being part of our community!
offTheLeftEye thank you, and yes, it’s all about feeling safe and being at peace. I look forward to going to bed to be replenished with hope and faith. Subliminal messaging for sure as well. I choose inner peace everyday. Thank you again for all you do.
I've always was a spiritual person by nature. And always told I need to ground myself. But my intellect and spirit is always thinking of ways to help people, how I can make things better. For a time due to trauma topped with what I thought was protecting myself from getting hurt by others. I learned the hard way that that was not protecting myself. That was a prison self made by me that only kept me from living or thriving. To the point of health issues that plagued me. I must be going through more growing pains because it's a constant battle at this moment. I will not lose sight of God, nor bend or trade my convictions for Him. For temporary comforts or things that don't matter. Or temporary gratifications that never satisfies. I don't feel I need to be grounded, that to me feels like being weighed down and restricted from moving upwards to God. Balance yes, discernment yes... Earth is dense enough to weigh anyone down. Does anyone need to be attached and grounded from God? I don't think so in my opinion. Love and blessings to you all at OTLE.😇🙏🌺
I always love reflecting on your reflections, Pamelyn -- thanks for sharing them. Yes, this world is very heavy, and I too appreciate something to lift me above its dense gravity. I wish you the best with your health, and just enough attention to your body that you can continue to spread love and healing to those around you. Blessings!
@@offTheLeftEye , Thank you humbly, I appreciate that... Yes we all need to go beyond ourselves to help others. We are going through a great transitional period and we need each other more than ever before. For our transformation to the next level in our spiritual evolution. My prayers are always for all to awaken, for goodness to prevail, healing to restore, wisdom to understand and acknowledgement that God in all things. Humbling ourselves that we came through not of our own volition. But by God who carried us through, because He loves us so much and wants good for all of us!😇🙏🌺
@@offTheLeftEye , Our prayers, action and connection to each other is important during this great tribulations and transformation era we are in at present. I know with all my spirit and heart that it's beyond words to express. The importance we go through now. It's gonna take God at the helm and all of us to come through this time we are in. I'm praying for all as it should be...
From 12:14 until 12:38 is a very concise and powerful statement. I loved watching Curtis "light up" as the download came to him. And the rest of the presentation wrapped the talk up completely. Thanks , for being a willing servant , Curtis.
It was a great moment of enlightenment to witness, wasn't it, Kenny? Very comforting to me, for sure! Thanks so much for your continued encouragement and presence here with us.
Synchronism! I just read a Swedenborg passage where he says that we usually say "we are getting tested" when we just feel anxiety due to potential threats to our material life stuff (reputation, pleasures, etc.). Maybe this episode will be related to this! Excited to watch this when it premieres if I can
As Curtis was saying, “saturated with earthly stuff “.........Unfortunately, my cravings ( or addictions) to food, smoking, coffee and pain medicine are too great. Even though I don’t like them, they serve to reduce pain and stress ( and this world is stressful enough). The struggle for me is wanting to help others, but I do it anyway and without asking for anything in return. So my life is “ saturated” with differences. I wish I never had any of these so called “evils” mixed in with good intentions. My love for the Lord is there, along with charity for others, but the distractions of life always ruin my focus and send me somewhere else and change my moods. It’s gets so tiring. I suppose that would be considered a trial. 😊❤️
I hear you, Julian, on how TIRING it all is, and yes, a trial indeed! I'd like to put in a word for being gentle with yourself. Who knows where one draws the line between "evil" and understandable coping mechanism? Perhaps you could lean toward the loving and gentle side for a while. Food and smoking, etc. -- I wouldn't call them EVIL, because they're not hurting other people on purpose. I can see how you might want to treat your own body in a "cleaner" way. But managing pain and stress is key to mental health. The Lord loves you and is pulling for you. I think ALL of us are saturated with contradictions. Welcome to the human race.... Love and blessings....
@@offTheLeftEye Thanks so much! ❤️😊. We all are challenged with different things. Right now, I’m thinking about Curtis and his acid reflux problem. It’s no fun. It can drain you of your energy , but he doesn’t give up and I admire that! ...I admire all of you at OTLE, you give me a lot of inspiration as well as other good people, and I think that’s important in today’s turbulent world. 😊😊😊😊
I always learn something new it makes me think and work things out. I'm a work in progress I guess! Thank you OTLE all of you for the great work and inspiration you give people like me.
We are all works in progress, and it's an honor to be able to do the work together! I'm so glad these ideas inspire you and so grateful for your encouraging words, Annalise!
Amazing video! Thank you. It answered so many questions I had about struggles I'm facing and have faced. There was so much in this video that I needed that I will be returning to it many times.
It just warms my heart, Dorothy, that these ideas are exactly what you need right now. It's so powerful when we come across a truth that really hits us where we live, isn't it? Bessings to you!
Thanks for praying for me Curtis. Please can you keep praying for my Wife Sharon who is still facing an on going Mental Health Crisis. However I will tell you this in all honesty. I’m not being overly dramatic, I’m not being super religious but yes I have been struggling against some really dark spiritual forces recently. Yet I am convinced that in Jesus Christ I have that enemy on the run. Sure they will always regroup and counter attack but I trust in my Lord Jesus and they will be beaten back. Hang on there in the fight my Brother and hold the flag of Jesus Christ high for all to see! There is always hope in our Lord and Saviour.
I will absolutely pray for Sharon, and I'm so sorry to hear she is struggling in that way, Tony. I'm praying for you too, because that can take a toll on everyone. I hear you on the dark spiritual forces - we definitely can all relate - but I'm glad your faith has supported you through this and you feel the strength to keep fighting. You definitely will triumph with Jesus, indeed, and I know that often the hardest times are just before the conflict ends and you have some peace, time to regroup before you are ready to take on the next challenge. The Lord is with you, God bless, Tony! Thank you for your inspiring words!
Excellent message. Nice clarity - I have worked through several struggles and am in a much better place as a result. I believe it is an endless journey - I am clearly a work in progress. Re: Love of the lord. I feel what I believe to be love of the lord when I see all of the things taking place in this country... As we as a society have allowed God to be moved out of the center of our lives, it has allowed evil to become a much more dominant force with all the falsities and their consequences. ex: pride has divided the church, greed has driven business and politics into so many conflicts of interest the people are not being well served, and people are suffering as a result. I see the evil and falsity at work all around me and I feel the loss every day. It pains me deeply. I continue to pray for the evils and their falsities at work to be revealed in a way that people can recognize them and decide to reject them.... with their minds and with their choices.
John, I agree with you and have had similar thoughts, and I admire your kindness and devotion to praying for others to be able to see things clearly. I am inspired to be more mindful in my own prayers! I think the thoughts we have and ride with make a difference in the earth - energy has power, and so even just willing and praying for hope and love makes it more possible that it can be here! Even the smallest effort matters. Thank you for your mindfulness and insights! God bless you!
My brother can’t read or right proper but that dose not make him any less, the good man he is. This is just social up bringing, from evil, Jesus chose men as he’s apostles, for who they were not what there skill leave was. Your a good man and gods truth is the only thing that maters.
I am going through something right now that I am counting on God to help me through. I have separated from my husband...for good. I have loved him dearly for many years, and always will. I never thought I would come to make the decision to leave; I had to. I tried for 15 years to achieve a successful marriage, but failed. My "living space" had become unmanageable long ago, but I kept trying. I know in my heart and soul that God et al knows I did my best. I've realized there is another life out there for me. It's nice to have my friends back. They are good people, but had to leave me be for a time. I understand them and why they chose to leave my situation. I always looked, and sometimes still do, outside myself to find strength, wisdom, self-improvement, happiness etc. I am finding all that Love for myself within myself. It's not easy. Not right now anyways. One day I will be okay again and my love for myself and others will flow freely as I feel it should. As a woman, this is the 2nd "change of life" I'm having to endure. I recognize more stability in my emotions as I see clearer just what I endured in the marriage. It's so peaceful in my small apartment and I felt the Holy Spirit so strong it was almost palpable. I know Jesus was here with me. I asked him to come hold my hand, and He did. I think he brought a thousand angels too, and left a few behind to watch over me...other than my Guardian Angel whom I've named Peter. I have one foster son who does not talk to or visit me anymore. I am by myself; I'm on my own. If I become sick there is no one to take care of me and my life savings were depleted by the addict in my life. Yeah, I'm very frightened, but yet I have this feeling...no, I know that God will help me. He already has it all planned. I've learned many more life and love lessons and I'm so much more understanding of who I really am. I love you Jesus! 😳🤔😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏💖💖✌️🤗
Debbie, I admire your strength, courage, and faith. No marriage is a failure - you grew, you learned, you loved and you gave it all you had - and then you chose to love you and care for YOU. That sounds like a success to me! You learned to give yourself some care, some freedom, and to let go of something that you couldn't control. Is that true? I think that sounds like a brave and useful thing, and it sounds like you gained so much strength from the experience, hard-earned for sure. I hope your new situation brings you tremendous peace and creates openings in your life for even more love, friendship, and perhaps reunions with your estranged son, in time. But it sounds like now is a very good time to learn to love you, and care for you, and be your own best friend! That's not easy, but you are worth it! God bless you, sending love to you on your new beginning.
@@offTheLeftEye yes, all you've said here is so true. I now realize how stubborn I can be in my convictions, refusing to let go of my prior belief that if I just hung in there and kept trying, I could create a healthy marriage. When I finally got so weak, but yet so strong, I gave it all up to God and let go. I'm still struggling with remnants, and each day is different, but I know I've got this. Thank you so much for your kindness and loving support...always. 💖🤗✌️
Love wins! God wins! Curtis! Ive been praying for you, bro 💙 Is it alright if I send you a healing from my angels to you? And to the entire Swedenborg team? 🌈✌ Thank you for sharing on this topic! 🌎🌍🌏💗
In the opener, the discussion about the waves reminds of the winds. You don’t know where they’re coming from or where they’re going. ( taken from John 3:8). Yes, everything is a mystery, even our destinies. But not to the Lord, even our struggles here serve as a learning tool and remind us of what we do not want or desire in the next life ( evil) and we probably carry that memory as Jesus said we are “ born again” ...........P. S. Curtis looks a lot skinnier! ( hopefully, it isn’t from the stressful lives we all have to endure, maybe he’s on a diet or working out, LOL!!) .....😃) ❤️😃👍🏻🙂
So true, Julian! Amen! And yes, Curtis has lost weight. He had some health issues with acid reflux, and has changed his diet to combat them. He's lost some weight as he adjusts to a new routine. He says he's feeling much better, though! Thank you so much for your concern!
offTheLeftEye ..... That’s great, I’m glad he’s feeling better!😃.....I’m a vegetarian myself, no more constipation, acid reflux or gastrointestinal problems. I believe God put our food on trees and in the ground. The SEED is ( or was) the source of our food. Plenty of organic or non GMO vegetables, fruits, grains and water will help clear any physical discomforts and help focus our minds on LOVE, TRUTH AND WISDOM!❤️❤️❤️👍🏻
If Curtis had been an Apostle we would have *instantly* known what Jesus was preaching. Curtis: "No, bro, the fishes & loaves are not gluten free or wild caught. But they *are* GMO: God's Miraculous Ordinations." LOL. Curtis is like the "Google Translate" of Swedenborg & the Bible.
Years ago I found false doctrine teachings that really screwed my mind up. For awhile it drove me nuts until I learned to observe it rather than react to it. Basically the teachings caused my mind to see words and images through out life on people's T~shirts and even through music and just anywhere. I Would see the words and my mind would quickly start creating false imaginations and etc. It was a negative aspect of my mind being tampered by external manipulations. It would say and throw anything it could at me to throw off my focus and deceive me in many manners it would even pretend to be God to try fool me into believing in a false view of God. Basically acting like God and making itself look bad to make me give it a false view. With help from actual Godly people I was able to recover mostly. To this day my mind still sometimes gets pulled into it but it never last and the negativity for the most part is in vain. This small negative aspect is extremely stupid. But believes itself to be smart and powerful. Making it very easy to observe it without it realizing it from a 3rd person perspective. But communication with it is also pointless as it shows to be double minded. A griefer and demented. And unfortunately has the memory of a gold fish. It basically plays on a person's more darker side to try and get you to commit crimes and other things that would harm you and others. I sometimes wonder what it is. Could be the devil or evil spirit. Its definitely not God. Could be an old aspect of my former self. But never have I ever been that.. dumb.. and I have a pretty strong memory. So it's very difficult for others to manipulate my past. Its dangerous to the untrained mind. This is a force that needs to be just cut off and permanently eliminated. It has no usefulness whatsoever. Other than sharing its methods of torments to others to help people like ya on what to be aware of. Hope this helps some. This force has 0 sympathy for your well being. This force attacked my mind with very negative words and imagery shortly after my mothers death after sinking into depression. It was trying to get me while I was down. Just like a predator when going after its prey. confirming that it has no care whatsoever for your wellbeing. But the main goal is once its identified for what it is. Cut it off. Never engage in conversation with it. In the beginning it came off as good and supportive. But it's all a lie. It's an act to bring you in close for the kill. Once observed in a 3rd person perspective you get a good idea of how it operates and functions. And eventually you can learn to manipulate it. Gives you a few good laughed and etc. But it's best just to cut it off. And avoid any kind of mental engagement with it. Other than prayers against it. I'm open to opinions about all this. I can testify however that it is able to be overcomed. But the good news also is that even during my times of weakness in my mind its sucks at most of what it does. It's like fighting against an insolent child that cant come to terms with loss. I mean seriously just accept defeat and move on. It does however give a good example of who I should never be like. It may be dumb as dirt but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Its caused me to lose jobs in the past and has tried on multiple occasions to prevent me from helping people and letting others help me. And for those who dont understand what double minded means. For example if I asked someone a yes or no question. Its response would be Yes and no. Long story short. Dont waste any energy on it. It will just drain the crap out of you with its foolishness. Very dark it is. And very demented. Beyond any help as far as I can tell. But defeatable. Just got to be prepared when it relapses again and forgets it lost the battle and basically tries to repeat the same scenario over and over again. And Again I warn. It will pretend to be Jesus or some other important figure in your life. In order to deceive you and harm you in some manner.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Your descriptions are very much like the phenomenon of evil spirits that Swedenborg witnessed and wrote about. Here are some episodes about that: "How to Deal With Evil Spirits" th-cam.com/video/RmWrAoML2hE/w-d-xo.html "The Lies Evil Spirits Tell Us" th-cam.com/video/Qaqd9Fhsxpg/w-d-xo.html "Do Spirits Play a Role in Addiction?" th-cam.com/video/lMxdZiguxlI/w-d-xo.html "How to Free Your Mind From Hell" th-cam.com/video/B832ykXZeYU/w-d-xo.html
a couple years ago or so I remember seeing TH-cam videos about waters receding. Brought that to mind at the beginning of this video: Hurricane Irma sucks water away from Bahamas coast th-cam.com/video/rdY5X3tPw30/w-d-xo.html Waters Receding World Wiide From Super Moons - Earthquakes? th-cam.com/video/ZsOEEj2FoU/w-d-xo.html M I love Curtis! Wonderful guy....always encouraging to listen to every day!
MY SISTER LOST HER 20 year old son to violence💔 SHE HAD A LOt OF ANXIETY ATTACKS, I SENT HER ONE IF YOUR ANXIETY ATTACKS THE STOMACH VIDEOS.. I TOMD HER TO REALLY LISTEN, NOT JUST WATCH IT,, SHE HAD AN AXIETY ATTACK SUNDAY, HAD TO CALL THE AMBULANCE, we live separate, but I felt to call her 🤦🏽♀️ SHE IS OKAY NOW, I WANT TO FIND A HOLISTIC AND HEALTHIER WAY TO DEAL W/LOSING HER SON.. I DONT WANT HER ON ALL THOSE MEDS😒💔
My heart goes out to your sister so much, QUENESS YOMy. Such unbearable pain. I see much compassion in your sharing these ideas with her, in an effort to ease her pain. And I think a spiritual approach can be very healing, but maybe it's not the right time yet? May the love of her family and friends, and a seedling of trust in God's love and mercy, help her heal in time. Here's a show we did called "Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" th-cam.com/video/9gdngWOvKas/w-d-xo.html. Perhaps you could watch it first and decide if you think it would be helpful for her. We have every confidence that she WILL be reunited with her son on the other side, and all tears will be wiped away! God is holding you all in the palm of his hand!
offTheLeftEye I’ve Watch those repeatedly,when My Mind Wonders On my Mother It’s my go to💫.. as far as my Sister, I feel like bc her oldest son who is 26, is gay, and she lost one that’s was 20, mind you, ironically, the brother had the same Birthday 12/6, and sis is 12/4, also her twin brother 🤦🏽♀️.. I was sayg about her gay son, I feel like they looking at her Different, but I dont know how to tell her,, he is out there like Feminine Fem! and he doesn’t eat ( mourning his bro)he super skinny like 96-100 pounds and he is like 5’4🤷🏽♀️ . I’m finding a way for Sis and Into have a spa day or somethg soon💫

We are all works in progress, and it's an honor to be able to do the work together! I'm so glad these ideas inspire you and so grateful for your encouraging words, Annalise!
Your passion is so contagious, Curtis!🙏🏾
Thanks for saying so Darbydelane.
Amazing video! Thank you. It answered so many questions I had about struggles I'm facing and have faced. There was so much in this video that I needed that I will be returning to it many times.
It just warms my heart, Dorothy, that these ideas are exactly what you need right now. It's so powerful when we come across a truth that really hits us where we live, isn't it? Bessings to you!
One of the best episodes!
So glad you think so, NP4Mayans! I (Chara) found it very powerful myself!
This is awesome thank you Curtis and everyone at the S&L team
You're so welcome, Milo! So glad you find it helpful and meaningful!
Good job🌿
So glad you think so, Alexander!
I was wondering why the video didn’t start! 🤦🏻♀️ Reading comment to see why. Duh premiers in 3 hours!
Ha ha Eva, oh no! Hope you try again later!
Thanks for praying for me Curtis. Please can you keep praying for my Wife Sharon who is still facing an on going Mental Health Crisis. However I will tell you this in all honesty. I’m not being overly dramatic, I’m not being super religious but yes I have been struggling against some really dark spiritual forces recently. Yet I am convinced that in Jesus Christ I have that enemy on the run. Sure they will always regroup and counter attack but I trust in my Lord Jesus and they will be beaten back. Hang on there in the fight my Brother and hold the flag of Jesus Christ high for all to see!
There is always hope in our Lord and Saviour.
I will absolutely pray for Sharon, and I'm so sorry to hear she is struggling in that way, Tony. I'm praying for you too, because that can take a toll on everyone.
I hear you on the dark spiritual forces - we definitely can all relate - but I'm glad your faith has supported you through this and you feel the strength to keep fighting. You definitely will triumph with Jesus, indeed, and I know that often the hardest times are just before the conflict ends and you have some peace, time to regroup before you are ready to take on the next challenge. The Lord is with you, God bless, Tony! Thank you for your inspiring words!
Great presentation! Thanks so much! ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed this topic!
Excellent message. Nice clarity - I have worked through several struggles and am in a much better place as a result. I believe it is an endless journey - I am clearly a work in progress. Re: Love of the lord. I feel what I believe to be love of the lord when I see all of the things taking place in this country... As we as a society have allowed God to be moved out of the center of our lives, it has allowed evil to become a much more dominant force with all the falsities and their consequences. ex: pride has divided the church, greed has driven business and politics into so many conflicts of interest the people are not being well served, and people are suffering as a result. I see the evil and falsity at work all around me and I feel the loss every day. It pains me deeply. I continue to pray for the evils and their falsities at work to be revealed in a way that people can recognize them and decide to reject them.... with their minds and with their choices.
John, I agree with you and have had similar thoughts, and I admire your kindness and devotion to praying for others to be able to see things clearly. I am inspired to be more mindful in my own prayers! I think the thoughts we have and ride with make a difference in the earth - energy has power, and so even just willing and praying for hope and love makes it more possible that it can be here! Even the smallest effort matters. Thank you for your mindfulness and insights! God bless you!
My brother can’t read or right proper but that dose not make him any less, the good man he is. This is just social up bringing, from evil, Jesus chose men as he’s apostles, for who they were not what there skill leave was. Your a good man and gods truth is the only thing that maters.
God's truth and treating others with as much of God's love as we can muster. Thanks, Diana!
offTheLeftEye absolutely even when they don’t want it thank you
I am going through something right now that I am counting on God to help me through. I have separated from my husband...for good.
I have loved him dearly for many years, and always will. I never thought I would come to make the decision to leave; I had to. I tried for 15 years to achieve a successful marriage, but failed. My "living space" had become unmanageable long ago, but I kept trying. I know in my heart and soul that God et al knows I did my best.
I've realized there is another life out there for me. It's nice to have my friends back. They are good people, but had to leave me be for a time. I understand them and why they chose to leave my situation.
I always looked, and sometimes still do, outside myself to find strength, wisdom, self-improvement, happiness etc.
I am finding all that Love for myself within myself. It's not easy. Not right now anyways. One day I will be okay again and my love for myself and others will flow freely as I feel it should.
As a woman, this is the 2nd "change of life" I'm having to endure.
I recognize more stability in my emotions as I see clearer just what I endured in the marriage. It's so peaceful in my small apartment and I felt the Holy Spirit so strong it was almost palpable. I know Jesus was here with me. I asked him to come hold my hand, and He did. I think he brought a thousand angels too, and left a few behind to watch over me...other than my Guardian Angel whom I've named Peter.
I have one foster son who does not talk to or visit me anymore. I am by myself; I'm on my own. If I become sick there is no one to take care of me and my life savings were depleted by the addict in my life. Yeah, I'm very frightened, but yet I have this feeling...no, I know that God will help me. He already has it all planned.
I've learned many more life and love lessons and I'm so much more understanding of who I really am. I love you Jesus! 😳🤔😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏💖💖✌️🤗
I'm sure you will find some peace in your new apartment X 👍
@@williambilly3269 Thank you!
Debbie, I admire your strength, courage, and faith. No marriage is a failure - you grew, you learned, you loved and you gave it all you had - and then you chose to love you and care for YOU. That sounds like a success to me! You learned to give yourself some care, some freedom, and to let go of something that you couldn't control. Is that true? I think that sounds like a brave and useful thing, and it sounds like you gained so much strength from the experience, hard-earned for sure.
I hope your new situation brings you tremendous peace and creates openings in your life for even more love, friendship, and perhaps reunions with your estranged son, in time. But it sounds like now is a very good time to learn to love you, and care for you, and be your own best friend! That's not easy, but you are worth it! God bless you, sending love to you on your new beginning.
@@offTheLeftEye yes, all you've said here is so true. I now realize how stubborn I can be in my convictions, refusing to let go of my prior belief that if I just hung in there and kept trying, I could create a healthy marriage. When I finally got so weak, but yet so strong, I gave it all up to God and let go. I'm still struggling with remnants, and each day is different, but I know I've got this.
Thank you so much for your kindness and loving support...always. 💖🤗✌️
@@debramercer1138 Just take it one day at a time, dear Debbie. God will get you through this. 💖
Love wins! God wins!
Curtis! Ive been praying for you, bro 💙
Is it alright if I send you a healing from my angels to you? And to the entire Swedenborg team?
🌈✌
Thank you for sharing on this topic! 🌎🌍🌏💗
So sweet of you, Crystal! We are grateful for any prayers sent our way! Blessings to you.
Hi Curis, both brilliant & humorous. I know now why AA is bible based.
Hope my spelling is correct!
That's a fascinating realization, Susan! Thanks for sharing!
In the opener, the discussion about the waves reminds of the winds. You don’t know where they’re coming from or where they’re going. ( taken from John 3:8). Yes, everything is a mystery, even our destinies. But not to the Lord, even our struggles here serve as a learning tool and remind us of what we do not want or desire in the next life ( evil) and we probably carry that memory as Jesus said we are “ born again” ...........P. S. Curtis looks a lot skinnier! ( hopefully, it isn’t from the stressful lives we all have to endure, maybe he’s on a diet or working out, LOL!!) .....😃) ❤️😃👍🏻🙂
So true, Julian! Amen! And yes, Curtis has lost weight. He had some health issues with acid reflux, and has changed his diet to combat them. He's lost some weight as he adjusts to a new routine. He says he's feeling much better, though! Thank you so much for your concern!
offTheLeftEye ..... That’s great, I’m glad he’s feeling better!😃.....I’m a vegetarian myself, no more constipation, acid reflux or gastrointestinal problems. I believe God put our food on trees and in the ground. The SEED is ( or was) the source of our food. Plenty of organic or non GMO vegetables, fruits, grains and water will help clear any physical discomforts and help focus our minds on LOVE, TRUTH AND WISDOM!❤️❤️❤️👍🏻

Thanks for this suggestion, Gullible's Travails!
Is there a email I can write to someone theres some stuff going on and Im wondering if theres someone I can talk to.
Hi Mary, you are welcome to e-mail us at offthelefteye@gmail.com if there are personal things you'd like to discuss!
@@offTheLeftEye thank you so much. I will get a hold of someone.
If Curtis had been an Apostle we would have *instantly* known what Jesus was preaching. Curtis: "No, bro, the fishes & loaves are not gluten free or wild caught. But they *are* GMO: God's Miraculous Ordinations." LOL. Curtis is like the "Google Translate" of Swedenborg & the Bible.
Thank you for the compliment, Tony, and for your humor! Made me smile! I will pass this on to Curtis!
Years ago I found false doctrine teachings that really screwed my mind up. For awhile it drove me nuts until I learned to observe it rather than react to it. Basically the teachings caused my mind to see words and images through out life on people's T~shirts and even through music and just anywhere. I Would see the words and my mind would quickly start creating false imaginations and etc. It was a negative aspect of my mind being tampered by external manipulations. It would say and throw anything it could at me to throw off my focus and deceive me in many manners it would even pretend to be God to try fool me into believing in a false view of God. Basically acting like God and making itself look bad to make me give it a false view. With help from actual Godly people I was able to recover mostly. To this day my mind still sometimes gets pulled into it but it never last and the negativity for the most part is in vain. This small negative aspect is extremely stupid. But believes itself to be smart and powerful. Making it very easy to observe it without it realizing it from a 3rd person perspective. But communication with it is also pointless as it shows to be double minded. A griefer and demented. And unfortunately has the memory of a gold fish. It basically plays on a person's more darker side to try and get you to commit crimes and other things that would harm you and others. I sometimes wonder what it is. Could be the devil or evil spirit. Its definitely not God. Could be an old aspect of my former self. But never have I ever been that.. dumb.. and I have a pretty strong memory. So it's very difficult for others to manipulate my past. Its dangerous to the untrained mind. This is a force that needs to be just cut off and permanently eliminated. It has no usefulness whatsoever. Other than sharing its methods of torments to others to help people like ya on what to be aware of. Hope this helps some. This force has 0 sympathy for your well being. This force attacked my mind with very negative words and imagery shortly after my mothers death after sinking into depression. It was trying to get me while I was down. Just like a predator when going after its prey. confirming that it has no care whatsoever for your wellbeing. But the main goal is once its identified for what it is. Cut it off. Never engage in conversation with it. In the beginning it came off as good and supportive. But it's all a lie. It's an act to bring you in close for the kill. Once observed in a 3rd person perspective you get a good idea of how it operates and functions. And eventually you can learn to manipulate it. Gives you a few good laughed and etc. But it's best just to cut it off. And avoid any kind of mental engagement with it. Other than prayers against it. I'm open to opinions about all this. I can testify however that it is able to be overcomed. But the good news also is that even during my times of weakness in my mind its sucks at most of what it does. It's like fighting against an insolent child that cant come to terms with loss. I mean seriously just accept defeat and move on. It does however give a good example of who I should never be like. It may be dumb as dirt but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Its caused me to lose jobs in the past and has tried on multiple occasions to prevent me from helping people and letting others help me. And for those who dont understand what double minded means. For example if I asked someone a yes or no question. Its response would be Yes and no. Long story short. Dont waste any energy on it. It will just drain the crap out of you with its foolishness. Very dark it is. And very demented. Beyond any help as far as I can tell. But defeatable. Just got to be prepared when it relapses again and forgets it lost the battle and basically tries to repeat the same scenario over and over again. And Again I warn. It will pretend to be Jesus or some other important figure in your life. In order to deceive you and harm you in some manner.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Your descriptions are very much like the phenomenon of evil spirits that Swedenborg witnessed and wrote about. Here are some episodes about that:
"How to Deal With Evil Spirits" th-cam.com/video/RmWrAoML2hE/w-d-xo.html
"The Lies Evil Spirits Tell Us" th-cam.com/video/Qaqd9Fhsxpg/w-d-xo.html
"Do Spirits Play a Role in Addiction?" th-cam.com/video/lMxdZiguxlI/w-d-xo.html
"How to Free Your Mind From Hell" th-cam.com/video/B832ykXZeYU/w-d-xo.html
a couple years ago or so I remember seeing TH-cam videos about waters receding. Brought that to mind at the beginning of this video:
Hurricane Irma sucks water away from Bahamas

I love Curtis! Wonderful guy....always encouraging to listen to every day!
So sorry to have somehow missed your kind comment all these months ago! Thank you, Steve, and we're wishing you all the best!
MY SISTER LOST HER 20 year old son to violence💔 SHE HAD A LOt OF ANXIETY ATTACKS, I SENT HER ONE IF YOUR ANXIETY ATTACKS THE STOMACH VIDEOS.. I TOMD HER TO REALLY LISTEN, NOT JUST WATCH IT,, SHE HAD AN AXIETY ATTACK SUNDAY, HAD TO CALL THE AMBULANCE, we live separate, but I felt to call her 🤦🏽♀️ SHE IS OKAY NOW, I WANT TO FIND A HOLISTIC AND HEALTHIER WAY TO DEAL W/LOSING HER SON.. I DONT WANT HER ON ALL THOSE MEDS😒💔
I'm sorry to here that
There is a book based on Swedenborg writings call WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES
It helped me. Regards from Australia.
My heart goes out to your sister so much, QUENESS YOMy. Such unbearable pain. I see much compassion in your sharing these ideas with her, in an effort to ease her pain. And I think a spiritual approach can be very healing, but maybe it's not the right time yet? May the love of her family and friends, and a seedling of trust in God's love and mercy, help her heal in time.
Here's a show we did called "Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" th-cam.com/video/9gdngWOvKas/w-d-xo.html. Perhaps you could watch it first and decide if you think it would be helpful for her. We have every confidence that she WILL be reunited with her son on the other side, and all tears will be wiped away! God is holding you all in the palm of his hand!
offTheLeftEye I’ve Watch those repeatedly,when My Mind Wonders On my Mother It’s my go to💫.. as far as my Sister, I feel like bc her oldest son who is 26, is gay, and she lost one that’s was 20, mind you, ironically, the brother had the same Birthday 12/6, and sis is 12/4, also her twin brother 🤦🏽♀️..
