Angels Examine Us After We Die - News From Heaven

[@Rozmund]

In general I liked it...figured it out on my own decades ago...saw things in myself I did not like and changed them..and it worked..I believe we create our own reality, and can change anything negative for positive..

[@offTheLeftEye]

Yes, every moment is a new beginning, and an opportunity for positive change!

[@xjones2087]

Help me understand this. How did Anne Frank create her reality and do you think she changed the negativity of the concentration camp and her death there for something positive? Does your idea of creating our reality and changing the negative for positive work for everyone?

[@Rozmund]

To you last question, absolutely...learning to do it in small ways and then when comfortable..embracing larger ways..however, that comes with a caveat learned through wisdom .... if we in our compassion help another in a positive way we must question our own motives...do we do it out of love, compassion, or an inner sense of feeding "the controller" within..known in today's world as The Ego..or are we lonely and want a friend...there is a saying to have a friend, we must be a friend....we must never be so uplifting as to become an "enabler"..of another's poor habits or negativity who has no intention within their own being of ever changing...in the foreseeable future...as for Anne Franks it has been several decades since I saw the movie...however, to give you the most honest answer in my opinion on her life I have downloaded the pdf of her Diary...to refresh my memory...Movies leave a lot out...however, without even looking at the pdf I will say this..her life had a message...I feel I know her message..the reason she existed...for even such a short time.. it was pivotal and survived the other war horror stories in a way that gave and still gives courage to others in the face of what appears as "hell".....I am a bit of a philosopher, garnering and taking into myself what is necessary for my joyful existence...my internal filters are unique to me...as yours are to you....usually based on our experiences...conscious and subconscious..even sometimes resonating in our hearts from distant memories of our past existences...all in my very humble opinion...I will end by saying..we are each special, each unique, and loved by THE ONE INFINITE CREATOR, more than we can imagine in our little self while experiencing the gift of life 's journey...gratitude for the smallest of things, events, people, and situation as tools of learning....literally opens the flood gates of more things to be grateful for as we walk our path...stay focused on what gives us JOY........@@xjones2087

[@Rozmund]

Here is a horrible example of how we create our own reality...we even know why...often damaging the reality of others..of course, the reversal is true, when we put the ego aside, follow the "golden rules" tough one that one..all so sad.....that is the deeper question..discernment, caution, but not fear is a good rule of thumb..ca.yahoo.com/style/former-police-officer-admits-sex-3-year-old-daughter-died-alone-hot-car-214001588.html.@@xjones2087

From what I saw and experienced, you wake up in a white walled room. Someone was always checking in on me like a nurse. There was no reflecting of anything. I was still on earth, just unable to communicate with the living, roaming around freely. No need for food or any material things. Communication with others in this new place is telephatic. No talking. I retained my memories etc. No. I did not die. I was just shown what happens when we die. Death is just a transition. Nothing to fear.

Awesome content - as usual. Thanks for all your dedicated work. It has really helped me as I'm sure it helps many others. I have downloaded all of Swedenborg's works and have started to read them. Wow!! There's so much there, but his work (so far) sounds like an old friend explaining things in a very clear manner. I'm not finding anything so far that I disagree with. It all seems very rational and surprisingly easy to follow. Thank you Jonathan for all your great work in translating Swedenborg's works. I know you had a lot to do with that. Kudos to you all!!

Thank you guys for one more great video. it’s a great relief to me that angels will examine us after death. Of course it’s painful to think I’ll have to revisit things that make me feel terribly ashamed of myself - especially because I have a tendency to self-recrimination - but I do believe that the angels are there to help us resolve these issues and move on, even when we have no idea, now, how to do it. This is why I feel relief.

You're very welcome! I'm glad this episode reached your heart. Yes, I think it will be a tremendous relief to have this help from the angels, assisting us in the most loving ways to identify and release spiritual "toxins" that are holding us back.

[@murtazaarif6507]

The outer and inner memory sounds like the psychological concept of the inner and outer selves. They say we are born with an inner self but also develop an outer self through worldly experiences. I also like the idea of this tablet-like collection of all our memories and writings preserved. The everyday experiences and dreams I write about feel acknowledged in the spiritual world. I love that.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Thanks for sharing these reflections, Murtaza. And yes, a lot of the concepts Swedenborg wrote about way back when do seem to have current psychological counterparts. Swedenborg says that our experiences never leave us completely, but that they are put to the side unless they can be specifically useful in one way or another. That feels to me like an acknowledgment that EVERYTHING we've been through has made a difference to who we are -- but we don't have to consciously remember it all and always carry it around!

Everything from the moment of our creation to the present and when we pass. Is a record of our existence and how we will reconcile it all in heaven.

To become even closer to our Heavenly Father every step of the way... If that is what we so choose. I understand better our existence is not just happen stance or coincidence.

[@charlottekey8856]

Whoever that someone was, he/she doesn't appear to know what has happened in many, many NDEs. Friends and family members greet each other and know each other.

I'd rather go right now as I was saying if hubby in heaven alot longer than me means I ain't gonna see him again cos he gonna be in paradise before I even get there or IF I'm worthy of it 8 don't think I'm the only person who is scared that there loved ones go on "TO THIS BETTER PLACE " I have to say the best place for my hubby was with me we met 1 week married 7 weeks later anyways to this so called better place which I will not be good enough shit I just give up now when I was reading god was a forgiving god , jesus died one time only for my sins , but what your saying is the angels are gonna be checking me out to see if I'm good enough for heaven , what if I'm not ? And my hubby was does he go on and I get to twiddle me thumbs NO WAY AM I COMING BACK TO THIS EARTH I never want to see this place again if I could close my book of life right this second I would, I was gaining comfort from the thought of seeing hubby again 😢maybe I shouldn't from what your saying could you clarify for me please thankyou

I can understand Curtis fears about losing things you loved. We all have this fear to some extent some more then others. I think this shows us how wonderfully different God created us, his imagination knows no limits. Each soul is a unique imprint of God and therefor what we love and how we love is different for each of us. How our loves manifest differently from all others is also how our fears manifest differently from all others. Only God knows what's in our heart of hearts and how to heal what is broken within us.

Transition, from current thought alignment in perspective with the reflexive expression, resonating out from the point of reference. And, so one may begin to notice transitional points, in conscious expression (past to present) dictated through the unsophisticated carrier. The carrier, is not to include the individual carrying the thought form, it is the signal from which the message is observed. It is unpacked information, but rudimentary, and not adequate to describing more intricate evaluations, as they do give a clue into the mind of the initial sender. Relevant, to those who receive the message in its appropriate form, which by now must come this new understanding. The twisting of perspective, that must adhere to the mind of the one in the flow. Swim, and observe, the sharks exist to clear up what would otherwise flourish and propagate within itself the will of a shark. (the killer, a product of not understanding matters outside of it's own 'Totality') (Fish, in a hierarchy of spreading information, which must be absorbed in various ways, not excluding redistribution of matter through chemical fusion.) This necessity, exists so as to not allow the inherent stagnation that would otherwise ensue. It may be represented in any challenge... perhaps, it may be worthy to consider one idea against another, as to alleviate a possible dissonance. With Pride, one will need to watch for the manifestation of its negative attribution. There is a middle-way in all things, so as to not overextend, and as to never act/move. The middle-way, may also be recognized as living the Virtuous life, the Life inspired through Jesus Christ, and His closest emulators/students (the Saints). Virtue is the middle-way between Vice, the balance necessary to find Peace. The stillness, is the recognition of the right calibration, the immutable variation is Absolute in it's Peace (and thus worthiness, surely, there is no other task more worthy of undertaking?). An example of this may be seen when analyzing Confidence. This Virtue, lies in between it's 2 ugly step sisters, Arrogance, and Cowardice. One may see, on this spectrum, that a fall is inevitable from teetering too far to the left, or to the right. Only tap into enough Chaos as to bring it into an order that is manageable. It is crucial not to overextend, as this would be a naive move... the opposite is even more prevalent within human Nature. Too many are frozen in place, afraid to move, for then... an over-extension could spell Doom....

There is no need to be perfect, but only to be making some effort that the Lord can work with in our hearts and minds. In this short clip, we relate the life review process after death as an opportunity to be shown how much our life is in alignment with the Lamb's book of life, and how we can improve that alignment. God always wants to help us get more and more close to him! Take a look when you find a chance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGmvYqejf82csMU God bless!

[@offTheLeftEye]

@ that is a lovely quote, and I love how you see it - being perfected! It's a process we participate in, but do not control.

[@thatsmytwocents4372]

You don't have to hope, you can know you are by asking Jesus into your heart and giving him total control of your life and living for him and the Father instead of ourselves.

[@thatsmytwocents4372]

This is a bunch of Garbage. Not one bit of it is in the Bible. Angels DO NOT examine us, only GOD the Father does at the White Throne Judgement. This man is spreading Heracy.

[@offTheLeftEye]

​@@thatsmytwocents4372 I understand your concerns, though, and appreciate you sharing them here. Angels examine us on the Lord's behalf - not of their own volition. They are devoted to the Lord and live to serve! Our work is based on Scripture, and deeply rooted in the Bible. We share your love for the Lord's truths contained within. Here's a little information about who we are, what we share, and why we believe in it: On this channel we share information written down by 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. Swedenborg 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," kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGHQdmt_ebGspKc , or this short clip, "It Is Damaging To Take The Bible Literally," kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4m4iY1ud86aes0 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/ You are right that we are accountable to know one but the Lord Jesus Christ. This episode does not imply otherwise - the angels greet us in the afterlife, and can tell from our auras and a quick examination what kind of a person we are. This is not a judgment or a condemnation - they do this so they know what kind of help or company we will need. This is why the Lord reminds us, "There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?" (James 4:1) But in truth, God does not judge us - it is we who decide our own fate, based on how we lived our lives and what we loved. That is why the Lord tells us that how we live - how we treat each other - determines our fate: Jesus said, "Not every one who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." (Matthew 7:21) "He shall reward every one according to his works." (Matthew 16:27) You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. Likewise, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another road? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead." (James 2:14-26). “You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Leviticus 19:34). “Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12). We choose heaven if we love God and others, we choose hell if we love ourselves alone. If you want to learn more about Swedenborg's understanding of hell, check out "What is Hell Really Like?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYmmgGSGa9dggdk 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!

I'm TRYING to stop judging people's actions according to my OWN standards. My intentions are honorable ... until I make a judgement ... dang! 🌹

[@offTheLeftEye]

:) It's part of the daily work for all of us! And NOTICING the judgmental thought is a very good sign. I (Karin) was just listening to a Swedenborgian pastor this morning who talked about how we'll often have a first thought pop in, which is judgmental, but then there can be a second thought and an action that we can choose. So, don't be discouraged by those first negative thoughts. They will pop in! But then call in a second thought, a better thought, and act on it if appropriate.

Linda, it is so easy to judge..it's a learned habit..often stemming from our parents, other relatives, or even friends with a dominate nature..so don't beat yourself up...there is a difference between observing, noting, objecting AND judging...my Dad always said to me when I would come home from sChool as a teenager and judge a teacher, or another student, or that student's parents based on "their" take on a situation..dAD WOULD SAY: UNTIL YOU HAVE WALKED IN THEIR SHOES..SAY NOTHING AT ALL...JUST LOOK ON IN COMPASSION AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND..and learn from their experience and be grateful you do not have to live it...

[@julianbristow4793]

I love this show! ....What I like about it is that Curtis is being himself, that is, not putting on an act and Swedenborg’s determined honesty. I believe integrity is an important factor in the success of any show. Anyway , a question......When examining our hands and bodies, Swedenborg says Angels can see our intentions? Wow, that’s interesting. So your saying that as long as it is in our heart, that is what’s important? I have strange thoughts going through my head, weird thoughts, but they’re not mine. I’m hoping I don’t get judged on that account I recall that you were saying that it didn’t matter,? that angels only look for the good in you? ..........Thanks.🙏👍🏻😀🍀✌️✌️

[@offTheLeftEye]

Yes, angels look for the good in us, and look at the intentions of our hearts. So much junk flows through the mind every day, but as you say, that is not who we really are! Angels, as agents of God, will help us see what our deeper goals are, and how to sort out the more surface thoughts and feelings to align better with who we truly want to be. There is endless love and desire from heaven to help us become our best selves!

[@julianbristow4793]

offTheLeftEye RIGHT! ....I have been told that even the most evil people have some GOOD inside them and it is the GOOD that GOD can work with to transform them the better GOOD. .....Thanks, its a relief to know that it is what is in your ❤️ heart, not in your conscious or subconscious mind where evil spirits can access and persuade you to do bad things.

Met Axa, God is Love and Mercy itself. Turning away from harmful choices and towards loving actions is what you can do. Stop hurtful behavior. Ask God for love in your heart and strength in your spirit, and try to find ways to be useful and helpful for others. It is never too late to change your direction, but it's about walking the walk, not just talking the talk. True repentance is not just an attitude of regret, it is changing the way you live. It's never too late to change. God will help you if you ask him to. Blessings to you on this new leg of your journey.

This helps me know where to focus on, my inner memory, I am 63 years old and constantly looking back in my memory and making positive changes or corrections for the better. I guess the older I get the wiser I get or stronger will I have in making the best intention happen. My belief in Angels has always helped me in making better decisions. They are always there for the asking in helping me make the best decision for what is best for good of mankind not just for myself. I want to make the Angels happy because it brings me joy so I try to do everything for love is in my intension. I Adopted a child at the age of 52. and it changed my life for the better and I feel blessed by the good Lord Jesus for letting get the chance I would never have had, the joy of help raise another human being. In teaching my son how to be a kind and loving person helps me see where I made mistakes in life and understand to erase them or correct them through teaching my son how to make the right decision for a problem I have had made the wrong decision. Doing everything out of love brings me joy so to feel or get that feeling of joy becomes addictive and you start a perpetual cycle love. Curtis, what would we do without you, you are truly blessed and I see with my own eyes the word of the Lord flowing through you. What an awesome Lord Jesus we have, It is an honor to know you Curtis who lends his body and mind for Jesus to explain what he wants us to know, Swedenborg would be proud.

Something I find very helpful is the emphasis on negative thoughts as something that's separate from the self and intention as the key thing. Bookmark, bookmark. It's a way of paying attention and focusing on what your intention is. In other words, being aware, moment to moment.

In India a tailor I know died he had a heart condition and then came back an hour later. His friend went to see him to make sure he was gone and then noticed he started breathing. His story was two angels came to take him they asked his name and he said yes that’s my name and then they asked his fathers name and discovered they took the wrong person so they where told to put him back. He came back and woke up with no heart problem and passed away 5 years later. So I guess sometimes they make mistakes.

You know interesting question that pops up in my head sometimes if there is no reason to be afraid to die what is there ?? To stop 🛑 suicide and even murder perhaps.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Well, The Cube, the thing is that God is the only one who knows all the ways in which our spiritual path will serve us best, all the ways in which WE are performing some useful service. There's a passage in Swedenborg that talks about the reasons for our specific time of death, and they have to do with the useful purposes being served to ourselves, to others in this world, and to others in the next world. Trusting God's timing rather than ours seems the best way to align with God's will, from my perspective.

Another positive (number 4?) about 'nothing done in secret will be hidden' is that those good deeds that we have done, in service to the Lord, and that have not been overtly appreciated by others in this lifetime, will become apparent :)

[@dennisryan6370]

Question: (1) If, in fact, memory perdures to the least detail.... (2) And there's absolutely no disappointment in Heaven (3) Then how does a memory that evokes "sorrow" remain in Paradise???

[@offTheLeftEye]

Great question, Dennis. Swedenborg talks about memories and even deeds being sort of "pushed to the edges" and being dormant, if they're not something that is involved with our active interests and pursuits, and not something that would serve us in our forward progress. So I guess it COULD be drummed up, if there were any use to it, but otherwise it's not in our CONSCIOUS memory. That's kind of what I imagine the purpose of our self-examination and self-discovery to be -- taking a look at these sorrowful experiences and making sense of them, seeing how they somehow contributed to our journey or brought us to some new awareness. And then when we see them in the context of our lives and how they were part of our development, we can let them go and they'll just not bother us. So there are a few initial thoughts!

[@dennisryan6370]

@@offTheLeftEye But let's say that we learned "forgiveness".... precisely from the act of "remembering" just how sorrowful someone else's actions were toward us......one could hardly push such memories aside nor think to say that such memories did not play a PIVOTAL PART in one's personal "development"......

[@offTheLeftEye]

@@dennisryan6370 I agree with you, excatly! Yes, we can appreciate how these memories - or the experiences - were useful to us, helped us grow, and learn to forgive, etc. The memories are still there, the knowledge, understanding, and appreciation remain, but our pain surrounding them is not. This can happen on earth, too. Have you ever had something in your life that felt very painful, very powerful, almost overwhelming - and at some point, it doesn't bother you anymore? I think of hard times from my childhood - things that felt powerful and real to me at the time, slights or embarrassments, etc., that now I can look back on and remember the pain, but not feel tortured by it anymore. I just look back and think, "oh yeah, that was hard," but the grief isn't there anymore. Anyway, those are some thoughts!

Thanks for sharing that view, David. As Swedenborg put it, we have all have "inclinations to evil," passed down by our genetic heredity. You can kind of see this sometimes in family trees.

Well, Callie, of course when we die, we leave our physical body behind, whether buried or cremated or whatever.

I guess the Swedenborgian take on this, Keith, would depend on whether a person entertains the thought, dwells on it, loves it, intends it. Swedenborg learned that thoughts flow into us all the time, but they're not really OURS unless we CHOOSE to keep them. We can also reject them or turn away from them. I can attest to dark thoughts entering my mind, but when I'm on my toes, I can disassociate from them immediately and "change the subject" in my mind. Unless we really LOVE something, says Swedenborg, it is not imputed to us -- that is, put on our spiritual record, so to speak.... What do you think?

My heart goes out to you, Marilyn -- such an unbearable loss! It seems to be such an unpredictable thing, whether we'll consciously feel a visit from our departed loved ones.

I pray for you that you can feel the love you and your son shared still alive in your heart, and kind of "visit" him in your happy memories of him and in the activities that you used to enjoy together.

Yupper, good stuff!!! My own high vibe soul tribe examines whether I accomplished my mission &/or what I could do next time. Fortunately, my tribe gets totally excited if I ask for help. Yes, there is a/are more evolved soul/s to help out if it gets way too complicated( i.e., multiple layers of gunk & sludge) for our earthly incarnates to discern. Which is ginormously great news ;)

[@offTheLeftEye]

How wonderful that you've already experienced some of this helpful examination, and so can relate to what this is talking about! I agree, it's like having wonderful doctors/mentors who can help us spot the problems (gunk!) so we can get it cleared out. Great news indeed!

When does this start...my daughter says she remembers nothing of her life before the age of 8...

[@offTheLeftEye]

In the afterlife, memories can be called up from every single day of our lives, back to the day that we were born. Our spiritual memory is much better than our earthly memory!

What if yo don't want them to

[@offTheLeftEye]

Seriously! I get it! :) When I think of my own resistance I picture it like this. A loving parent gently but firmly moves a kicking child out of her carseat into the house. The parent must do what needs to be done in spite of the child's temporary displeasure. Sooner or later the tension dissipates and the child finds a level of comfort again.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Hi Doris, are you asking if you will have to see people who hurt you? The answer is no - you will only see people in the other life if it is mutually beneficial. Perhaps if someone needs to seek your forgiveness, a reunion could be useful, but only if YOU want it to. No one can approach you unless your spirits resonate together in the spiritual world. If you're asking about family reunions, and seeing loved ones again, the answer is yes, you will see people who love you! Check out this full length episode, "Will We See Our Loved Ones Again?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5jHn5qNhNt-l9U or this short clip, "Family Reunion in the Afterlife" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZO9qauHgNuofrc I hope those are useful to you, Doris! Wishing you well!

How does anyone really know if they are not dead ?

[@offTheLeftEye]

That's the question, isn't it, Alex? I guess that's where faith comes in. To clarify, The ideas in this video come from the spiritual experiences recorded by Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish statesman and scientist back in the 1700s, who claims to have been called by Jesus Christ to undergo the experience of dying, just to share that knowledge with the world. He was the first to admit that people would find that hard to swallow! If you're curious about Swedenborg and his background and credentials, we have a short video called "Who Was Swedenborg?" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbEYZhudsiGbZo --and a longer one called "Was Swedenborg Crazy?" -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZC9gWZmg6uMnJo. Whether or not these ideas resonate with you, we wish you well on your spiritual journey.

I liked the bookmarking idea, and thought I will do this, then like you heard it is all remembered anyway, I believe that when we physically pass, our lives are shown to us, we get to review them and like you say are asked, what have you learned from this experience ? And is there anything you know now as to why it happened?'this is how we learn from lessons ,I dno if lessons is the right word I want to use, but that sort of thing, Thankyou so very mich for sharing this , I love learning from you, and I know we all have Angels waiting to help us in this human experience but that they cannot interfere until we invite them.in to help us in our life for our own highest and greater good, namaste, looking forward to the next video, lots of love and Angel blessings X x x

[@offTheLeftEye]

Do we have-physical bodies there

[@offTheLeftEye]

Well, we have bodies, GaineyArt, but they're made of "spiritual substance," rather than physical substance. But we have the experience of being in a body, just like here. You might enjoy this show: "Will Your Body Look The Same When You Die?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gImcc5SDp5yIr7c

[@julianbristow4793]

There has to be something going on with all the different stories you hear about existence after death. While the stories are different in nature, they all share a similarly, that there is an existence after the body ceases to exist. The Bible is a great example of this. Even Jesus said “ you must be born again”.... I’m curious to know why must we be born the physical universe before we can move to the next level? Perhaps God has a certain reason for this? Perhaps trial is needed? I’m not sure. But it is interesting nevertheless❤️🙂

[@mkopisarova]

How closely do they examine us?

[@offTheLeftEye]

Hi Marina, did you watch the episode? Swedenborg writes, "In disclosing his acts to a man after death, the angels to whom the office of searching is assigned look into his face, and their search extends through the whole body, beginning with the fingers of each hand, and thus proceeding through the whole." That is the start of the passage - watch the whole thing for the rest and see Curtis's explanation!

[@scottward5957]

Its a great idea

[@offTheLeftEye]

I'm glad this made sense to you! Yes, the system for helping us out in the afterlife is full of love and wisdom.

[@WewillbeFreeinlightandPeace]

They are not angels they are other souls who come and help them pas over in the other dimension but when you like you can call them angels.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Hi, Simon! Yes, absolutely, we agree with you that those who help us after we die are other souls, other people who have lived on Earth. Swedenborg uses the word "angel" to mean people who used to live on earth, and who were willing to open up their hearts and minds to a deep level of love and wisdom. "Heaven" is a state of mind and heart of genuine love toward God and other people. People who are willing to cultivate that state of mind during their life then live as angels in heaven after death, always responsive to ways to help others. Here is a short clip called "Were Angels and Demons Once Human?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnm6ooiQiLSWhKs And that clip comes from a longer episode called "Swedenborg and Life Live: Angels and Demons" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYXIo2ajrK56pdk

[@ummzaynul370]

The angels who examine are they from Paradise of Hell? In My faith, Angels are article of faith,it depends on the soul, if the body,limbs, soul did the works of God while alive, Intentions followed by actions of the limbs. Eyes,hands, feet,ears, tongue, private parts all held accountable. Every mankind has Angels with them writing down the good and bad deeds and it will be presented on the Day of Judgement and soul will be destined for Paradise or Hell based on their records. The destination of the soul will be shown in the grave first when the 2 Angels ask questions.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Thank you for your question, Umm! According to Swedenborg, angel examiners are from heaven. Their wisdom is from God, so they are able to see through our actions to our intentions. Not all actions we take while on earth are held against us, since sometimes action is divorced from intention. It is what we LOVE that matters to God. If what we DO in action reflects what we love, then yes, our actions are noted in the spiritual world -- but not because God is anxious to condemn us. On the contrary! He is anxious to free us! While each of us will go through a sorting process in the World of Spirits (before going to Heaven or Hell), Swedenborg proposes that the Last Judgment has already happened!

[@nadiagoliath4069]

Have u ever seen it in the Bible??

[@offTheLeftEye]

Hi Nadia, good question! I think the short answer is yes, in a sense...but here's the long answer: Our channel aims to share the theological works of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a Swedish scientist and late-in-life theologian, who was also a scholar of the Bible. Swedenborg began to have spiritual experiences and visions that he claimed were directly revealed from Jesus Christ and the afterlife, and spent the remainder of his life recording what he learned and publishing his works. These writings are based on the inner meanings of scripture as well as conversations and experiences with beings in the afterlife and even in other worlds. This lasted for almost thirty years. Swedenborg was raised a Lutheran, and read and loved the Bible. But he also wrote that the Bible contains hidden inner meanings that he was shown to share with the world, meanings the Bible tells us are there, “All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34 Swedenborg was also shown that Christianity is not the only way to Heaven. All God asks of us is to love and worship a higher power, and to live a life of love and good acts to our fellow humans. If you want to learn more about Swedenborg, check out our short clip here, "Who Was Swedenborg?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbEYZhudsiGbZo 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 finally, here are some more quotes from the Bible explaining its inner meaning and that this would one day be revealed to us: “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). “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 “Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. . . . And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” -Luke 24: 25-27, 32 “Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.”-Luke 24:44-45

Good talk. Positive thoughts and intentions are very important as arw the words we use which can either harm or heal. As far as the book of life goes, I have a ciuple of thoughts. There are some interesting vids on. Gematria when applied to the Torah. Every name, address and deed are allegedly found there for every person. My other thought, and coming from the mind of a meditator and remote viewer) all information is available and can be accessed. Whether you call it the Akashic record, collective consciousness, the limen or the force from Star Wars, we are all connected to it both contributing and receiving information. This could be experienced as those AHA moments of inspiration, picking a winning lotto ticket, creating a beautiful music piece, or just viewing an event from the past. We all have the ability to grab from that field. No time, anytime, everywhere and no where (all happening simiultaneously) Nothing is ever truly lost, only transformed. Consciousness is the awareness of god in all things with no beginning or ending. And, love fuels the fire within.

[@offTheLeftEye]

I really agree with all you are saying here, and it aligns with the whole system of shared spiritual consciousness that Swedenborg witnessed and learned about. Thanks!

[@shonacole2124]

I just wonder if (angles, spirts) are all around us all the time, then why aren't there more experiences with them and more people who experience this? Also being a nurse, I have seen patients close to death ect there doesn't seem to be anything spiritual going on at all never seen anything meractulis at all just sadness, patient just seems like what they are doing (dying). If there is life after I would think there would be more connection if there truly is something more going on. Sometimes I think it is what we just hope there is to just help us with our fear of death. If there is proof why don't we all have it?

@@nightflight83 Changing doesn't mean you manage to eliminate all those feelings. It just means you become able to recognize them, and take small steps to stop fueling or feeding them. It's like physical health. Small steps of replacing an unhealthy action with a healthier one. The goal is not perfection, but simply some measure of better health. That's something that anyone can achieve, don't you think? Swedenborg saw that all people need to be able to improve in the afterlife is some kind of conscience, and some practice of being of service, whether through a job or whatever.
