What does “human” really mean? An angelic secret about heaven also teaches us about genuine humanity – not a particular body shape, but a state of understanding and intentions.

Curtis, your explanation of Swedenborg gives a whole new dimension to the idea of our bodies being a Temple of God. Many people believe Jesus was a Yogi, and there are Yogis who claim the Lord has appeared to them. Learning about yoga and the human body, turns Swedenborg into a 4-D experience, and God's rides never dissapoint. And did you know that Swedenborg has specific verses (about attitude and behavior) whose correspondence could be attributed to the cerebral fluids like dopamine, serotonine, adrenaline, hormones and nervous system activity in general? I've even found possible correspondences to microtubules in the brain as portals to the Spiritual World. We truly are quantum bridges to the Divine, and Jesus demonstrated it with his life, passion and assuming His jewish karma.
Who says anything Swedenborg says is correct anyway? So many people back then we so called enlightened with great knowledge
Funny thing, every time an angel appeared to someone in the Bible, the first thing he'd say was, "Fear not." … I guess they were pretty spectacular.
Curtis, I have to say, you are a brilliant speaker. Your grammar is flawless and you never hesitate, or stumble. This is quite an accomplishment, especially when speaking extemporaneously. I have had countless hours of college class instruction, and I put you on a level, even above, of so many of my instructors. You are perfect for what you do. I visit your videos not just for content, but the pleasure of hearing you speak. Thank you for delivering these messages so very clearly.
Greetings from Ireland Curtis & team. I learned so much from this. Thank you!
Always excellent videos. Whereas heaven functions like a healthy body with all organs, tissues and cells working together to nourish and maintain a whole, hell doesn't function at all. Hell is made up of chaos with every part working only for itself at the expense of all other parts; thus, hell has an atmosphere of constant dysfunction.
I have seen that we are collectively the “Body of Christ” ie: heaven.
We need to discuss the very real situation about the traps setup after we die. To neglect it means open ignorance. A discussion has to happen
Did Swedenborg know Rene Descarte’s writings? I’m just thinking how their ideas of consciousness are so opposite.
"because you can have a human who acts like a jerk." Curtis, love your use of language. Thanks for making this such a delightful learning journey for us all.
I am enjoying this Life After Death series immensely. While I personally struggle to understand Swedenborg's writings, these talks by Curtis make difficult and subtle concepts clear and comprehensible to even a "bear of little brain" like me. I look forward to each new episode. Thank you OTLE team. Outstanding work! ❤❤❤
I want some of those chocolate chip cookies…I'll vote for you!
Great series. But as science believer I know there are many different worlds in the Universe and many different races of beings that probably dont call themselves or look like Humans. So do you think Curtis there are many different heavens for all the other races out there in other systems and other galaxies ?
Yes, it is the universal body of the Lord, everyone knows this:) not?
To us here it is about dimensional awareness. Angels take higher information to the lower levels and transliterate the information for each lower level. A 3d conscousness can understand 2d but a 2d mind will find it hard to understand 3d.
If you stand infront of a building, you see a plane. If you pull back, you can see the building in 3d. In 4d you will see inside the building and all around it. So it is your awareness or point of view. Time would allow you to see the building by travelling around the building. This is why you have memory. You see segments of reality which you piece together.
The human mind was a view point which collected information and passed it back to heaven. The information was also stored in Adamas. The human mind would then grow collectively. Angels have to think together and show what they see about God. This allows them to see God in a higher dimension. Billions of points of view shared. The individual cannot join these groups of thought until they are willing to let go of self for oneness. It would be one individual water atom going against the atlanic ocean. When God opens up a mind to the truth, it is gradual so that the mind is absorbed. If it is forced open, the truth overwhelms the thought of the mind and instantly all its false knowledge is eradicated and replaced with truth. The individual disappears. Those that refused God often seem to be swolled up by the earth. Again they disappear from our view point or awareness and fall down to a lower level.
All of this is why we percieve time. The higher the awareness the quicker the understanding. God is all in oneness so time is not required. HE is.
Somebody please get Curtis a cookie 😂
I have recently heard the correlation and structure of the human cells and the structure of Heaven's design who have gone to Heaven. So this is certainly interesting as well…
Why do we take Swedenborg word with such open arms ? What makes him an authority on the matter ? I know about his scientific background and his visions, but surely others had that too. So makes him so spécial ? (Genuine, not being a dick)
True human is a will to act in wisdom love goodness and truth heavenly character.
Reducing suffering in others.
Thanks Curtis
O CURTIS é mesmo muito bom no seu modo de explicar os Arcanos Celestes. Ele certamente nos ajuda a entender mais as coisas dos Céus e de Deus que os pastores das igrejas de hoje.
Os bonequinhos (figuras de plástico), que simbolizam os anjos dos três (3) Céus, eles também estão em três cores. Verde, azul e amarelo (green, blue and yellow). As cores também simbolizam qualidades e capacidades dos anjos. O verde é ligado mais ao mundo natural, e ele representa o primeiro (1°) Céu, que é o Céu mais natural possível. O azul já é para o "segundo Céu", a cor é conhecida aqui no nosso mundo por simbolizar a "sabedoria" (wisdom). E o amarelo (yellow) tem relação com "o calor" (the heat), que emana do Sol. Esse calor é gerado pelo "Amor Divino". MAIS UM VÍDEO EXCELENTE E OBJETIVO.
SWEDENBORG descreveu a forma dos Céus como a forma de um grande corpo. Esse é o corpo de Deus. E nele estão contidas as sociedades angelicais. Miríades de anjos perfazem esse corpo, como células vivas desse corpo. É A FIGURA DO "HOMEM MÁXIMO".
É AINDA INTERESSANTE O FATO DE QUE SE SOMARMOS AS CORES AZUL E AMARELO, VAMOS OBTER O VERDE. O VERDE SERIA ENTÃO O HOMEM NO MUNDO NATURAL, MAS QUE DENTRO DELE ESTARIAM OS ANJOS DO CÉU AMARELO (3° CÉU) E OS ANJOS DO CÉU AZUL (O 2° CÉU), OU SEJA, O AMOR E A SABEDORIA DENTRO DO HOMEM NATURAL, QUE POR SER VERDE, AINDA PRECISA "AMADURECER".
E TODOS AQUELES QUE ESTÃO NOS INFERNOS, SÃO REPRESENTADOS PELO "VERMELHO".
Thank You 🙏 Jesus. Please Bless EveryOne. 😊❤
If I understand this correctly Heaven is an organism, and we are microcosms of it? I love the way your explanations resonate with my feelings, very thoughtful and helpful, thanks.
Man. I should have asked it when I was reading it. Now I don't remember where it is! Swedenborg mentions "robot" in a passage . I can't remember which book and or the context… I don't know how I can find that now. I have been listening to the audiobooks of the Writings one after the other. It's hard to tell. But they did use "robot" in this translation. It's in the edition in the audiobook version.
Yikes
Hi Curtis and Karin – this one is especially deep and full of how to think and act like angels in heaven. I have watched this show a few times because I really want to get this 'secret'. You in this one and Jonathan in his Bible study teach that to have heaven within us we need to think and intend and do as the angels in heaven think, intend and do. We aren't going to one of the heavens nor have heaven within us until we do this. So I am very happy you gave us this information!! And I am going to watch this one again and again until I am pretty sure I am adjusting and changing and compelling my spirit/self to adapt this way of seeing everyone – from the inside out – and from intending the most possible happiness of everyone – and to act from those intentions. Blessings to all every day!!❤
Speaking about secrets, God is our subconscious mind (and our interactions with our inner congregations, or chakras/churches). Proverbs 4:23.
When the Bible talks about being deceived and knowing that the world does not operate the way most people believe what does swedenborg say about deception from other people?
Love this episode! Understanding what does it mean to be human is indeed a an amazing revelation.
Great glove-hand metaphor. People are but gloves filled by the hand of God. Although it appears I live of myself God makes us move, live, and have being. Great job Team OTLE
Do you think spirits can contact us from the other side through dreams? I had the most vivid dream last night where I finally got to speak to my wife, and not like the other dreams where we are normal. I knew she was in spirit form and I was able to ask her everything that I wanted to know in everyday life with out her. She told me she was fine and she is in a place much better than I and then I broke down and told her how much I miss her and we both wept, then as she began to fade away all she said was "I will see you soon".
Interesting perspective!!!!
Are there any plans about a new Marriage Love translation yet? Im waiting for it to get on audio books some day. I have an easier time listening than reading nowadays.
Hey do no harm….you still doing no harm in at your barbaques ???????? he he he he he
🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️Thank u very much for this important video..which has taught us so many things regarding Angels..My dear Mom and Dad..are enjoying this Wonderful place of Angels..
