Wisdom in us is important for the navigation of our daily lives, acting in wisdom love goodness and truth makes us heavenly and life becomes easy for us and people are around us. Thanks Curtis
I always find when I watch and listen to OTLE videos. I feel better and lifted in my spirit and heart! True the heart and mind when in line is where we should be. When they are not, I find my thoughts drifting away from my heart or visa versa. I stop and say a prayer! Love this topic a lot! Thank you for always sharing goodness we all need today. Love and blessings!😇🙏🌺
Hi Curtis. It is the wisdom of SB that keeps me coming back, day after day. The wisdom changes who and what I love, consequently who I actually am. It is exciting to know that I will continue to be wiser forever. I spent more than a lifetime for many people searching for the wisdom of SB. I am sure SB changed countless souls like me and we are all so thankful. May God bless all who read this.
Hi, G! Yes! I hear you, my friend! It is a delight to know your mind and heart have been touched by Swedenborg. That is what this material does for me, too! May your life continue to expand as you journey further on your spiritual path. Thank you for taking the time to express the truth of your experience! Blessings, G!
I'm so glad this resonated with you! And yeah, fear and lack of trust/belief is a big hurdle that affects us all in one way or another. It's good to get more and more clear about that, because then God can use that discernment to move us forward. Thanks so much for watching!
I get this; nevertheless, I am listening to it a second time. Curtis, you are soo funny at times! I like that you explain the details. I do understand how we as humans carry the sins of generations and the bad influences we acquire when our minds are vulnerable and gullible because of our stupidity. We struggle terribly when we justify any form of hellishness or behaviors that are not Heavenly or consciously. spiritual. We come to understanding when we begin recognizing that falsity contaminates our souls, our thinking and every fiber of our being. Yes, because of our mistakes we learn something Heavenly we desire more. God puts us first, and to appreciate this, we must put Him first and our neighbors before ourselves. We feel the pain of others as intensely as our own pain. We feel the joy of others as joy within ourselves. It is a process, and I promise you I am getting to a better understanding of these lessons due to your efforts.
Thanks 🙏 again curtis love you friemd amd by the way your drawing is getting much better lol 😂 keep practicing because practice make perfect 👌 and that is True lol 😂 peace ✌️
Can we consider that when we put others first we all become first? I notice that when I address the needs of others before my own a day goes a lot smoother. If we are in traffic and patiently wait say for an unexpected crowd to cross the street through three green lights we feel much better than we would have had we edged up and forced them to stop crossing on our green. They may be bending the traffic rules, but we recognize maybe that group must stay close together. You know how good it feels when you hold a door for someone, or hand a cup of water to a thirsty person or buy food for a homeless diabetic hovering potential seizure? When you do these things the joy is comforting because then we see a smile in another we helped happen. We do not care if anyone else knows. We know, and that is a wonderful natural high.
I love your attention to what it means -- specifically -- to treat others with care and respect. And to trust that yielding our own will is not only useful to others, but to ourselves! It does feel good to do the right thing, just because it is the right thing!
Hello Curtis, I agree with everything said in this video from a purely rational standpoint, but my trouble is I grew up around a lot of people that were constantly critical of me and making me feel worthless. I know I should let those bad feels go, but just when I think I see light at the end of the tunnel, I slide back into the darkness. Do you have any advice on issues like this? Thank you friend.
Oh Randy, I'm so sorry that you grew up around all that negativity. You should not carry the burden of their negative thoughts and criticism! We are all plagued by dark thoughts, and working to rid ourselves of them is so important. Sometimes it can just be helpful to pray, or to meditate on a healing, protective light (here is a short clip of a meditation we shared in a recent episode th-cam.com/video/OnnRzpC458w/w-d-xo.html). This blog piece talks about the anxiety and depression that comes from evil spirits - "There Is Always a Blue Sky" swedenborg.com/there-is-always-blue-sky/ Here are a number of videos sharing how Curtis came to realize the tactics of negative forces affecting his mind, and ways to gradually break free of that. See if any ideas in these videos can help. It's something that takes consistent effort, to forge new positive loops in the mind instead of always being vulnerable to negative loops.

I ve a question. We r humans we need food, cloths, money, marriage, sex but does God need food, cloths, marriage, sex.. family..? Is God male or female?
Great questions! I don't think God has any physical needs. Swedenborg describes God as being the union of Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine - I have some episodes and clips that might answer them better than I could! I truly wish we had more on this, but I hope these answer your questions!

Hello Monira, Hope all is well. God is both the need and the provision. The only God we will ever meet, is the God we can identify with. He is everything that is part of everything. This Spirit is pin pointed or focused upon toward our personal identities. God can not be known outside of our own unique personality. This unique personal identity is the "gift" God has given each of us to observe it's own Glory with. The closer we personally identify with God as ourselves, the closer we become aware of it's character. This also applies with others. The more we see God in others, the more we can branch out our observation of His/Her presence. Matthew 25:34-40 (KJV) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
I struggle lately with the lack of compassion in politics that the pandemic shines its light on every day. What do i do with the anger and hate i feel when i see people in power refusing to address the needs of the poor? The dying? Can you refer me to an episode that might address this?
Thank you for your honest question, my friend! I hear you, and I am uplifted by your thirst for higher thinking. Swedenborg has certainly introduced me to higher thinking in profoundly dark places! The clip that comes to mind is taken from our video called, "Spiritual Fermentation." It's about allowing God to help us set aside what is not useful. th-cam.com/video/FusScpR8TfA/w-d-xo.html Another longer video talks about what is required to build a loving mindset: "How to Get a Home in Heaven" th-cam.com/video/vpAA1tByZXw/w-d-xo.html May you find what you need on your journey today, friend. Thank you for your candor and for your bright presence in our OTLE community!
@@offTheLeftEye I'm inspired to mention that in following the links to those vids and watching them, I watched a few vids I was not intending that brought me full circle to paying attention to where my attention is. It is OK to see suffering and want to relieve it...but it's easy to get stuck in how it happened. It's like tar. I am def deliberately making more time for reflection and meditation. Thanks again 🧡
@@IResonateWithU Wise insights! I believe hell wants to get us stuck focusing on and stressing about the bad in the world, but that only gives more fuel to the dark side. We need a healthy balance of being aware, but not being mired. The goodness in the world needs our attention in order to grow stronger. And finding small ways to do some kind of helpful action does immensely more good than worrying about what is not being done yet. Wishing you well as you navigate each day. It's rough, but we can support one another to stay hopeful, and believe in goodness!
Spirits can't have viruses, Matthew, so don't fret! Although they will certainly see the suffering on earth and feel it with us. Have you watched, "Angels Can Hear Your Feelings" th-cam.com/video/FufJKLcCuPQ/w-d-xo.html ?
The physical is the world of effects, not causes. CV does have a deeper cause and reason from what we see on the surface. It is actually giving us an opportunity to reassess and inquire what we are living for and what kind of life we really want.
@@davecollins1048 It is somewhat amazing how many seem to think that this little virus is greater than God's Light. Amazing in an age of information, that people tremble with fear of death. Being we all came here to die in glory as our part in Christ Flesh on the Cross. We own nothing, we choose nothing. We only walk as it is written.
@@jimdude5529 Well, to be fair, many fear the uncertainty they face and the havoc this little virus may do. Gods light includes the intelligence to respond correctly and the concern for others...the ability to think beyond just oneself and take action for the common good. CV is the left hand of God saying 'stop what you are doing and look at the state of the world'...we are and always have been interconnected. This is the opportunity to recognize that fact.
