Thanks so much!

[@jonchilds1116]

Incredible!

[@offTheLeftEye]

These are some wild and amazing ideas!

[@cynthusinfinite]

Haha I like your delivery! Going to watch the full episode this resonates with me! Thank you! Bon voyage! Also must download the referenced book here. Thank you.

[@offTheLeftEye]

I'm so glad this was enjoyable for you, Cindy! Do let me know what you think of the full episode!

[@seanparnelleverett]

Cool, This is alot like " the night journey of muhhammad... Isra & mirage " ...only the beginning of course. The merging with angels bit. I call it angelic dimensional collapse... Cool .. I've been trying to merge with the angelic lights, only to get " the look at the pen treatment out the men in Black. " I remember nothing before or after. If I observed the lights and keep my distance I remember everything. I'm currently working on phasing properly into the angelic lights and retaining memory. Does anyone know what the " who is with you / what frienss did you bring " analogy works. I'm trying to figure that out. So glad I came across swedenburg on " new thinking aloud " and subsequently found this channel. Swedenburg & muhhammad we're on the same track. Upwards and onwards. Thumbs Up !

[@offTheLeftEye]

It's cool that you're finding these connections! Onward and upward!

[@gramgraml9551]

That was very interesting! Thank you!

[@offTheLeftEye]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@EarInn]

You guys are so wacky. And I think you have the best jobs on earth.

[@fantasip]

EarInn ... i was thinking the same😃... it must be the ultimate work on earth🌏🌎🌍

[@offTheLeftEye]

We are indeed a wacky group! But you're right-- we feel so passionate and honored to be doing this work. I seriously wake up every day in awe about what's going on here. And each day I get the chance to interact with our fans and build relationships-- that to me is gold!

[@fantasip]

offTheLeftEye ....aaaahwa😍

Such a fun episode about spirits from other planets!! FUN is silly, and well, Happy! My being this “happy” and full of joy and enthusiasm, I wish I could pass it around, share it, pay it forward. I do this as much as seems wanted with people I come into contact with - and do it more and more - more spontaneously all the time. I am also surprised and astonished by my good fortune, as I don’t feel I was destined or intended to be happy in this life considering the trajectory I was born into. I don’t feel too guilty about the good place I live in because I am still so flawed and am not constantly in touch with how I feel today - unbounded energy, good will to all, joy at knowing about being useful to my neighbor, feeling I understand the “purpose of life” which I believe is so important to a person’s motivation to live, to improve, to trust there is some benefit to others by intentions and efforts at good will. I also feel the tears of joy and gratitude welling up from my heart overflowing with the Divine Love the Lord wants to share. This feeling of contentment combined with acceptance of how imperfect I am, and how I also feel I must keep working out how to do better - this all came to me today. I read that (I believe) Kwame Nwanwah-Ekyi in Ghana says that we are in touch with our spirit self when we dream. So of course I am curious and asked if I could start remembering my dreams as a means of peaking at my spirit self from here and now. Bye and bye I have begun to remember some of what goes on in my dreams. To my everlasting amazement it looks and feels like the same types of activities and interactions we have here in the flesh - still working out problems in ourselves along with a lot of interaction with others and working together. It just seems like a true continuation of living. Hahaha! Of course it does. So that just woke me up to being even more contented with the here and now. And the more I am contented with the what, where and how of my life the happier I become. And the more beautiful this world and everyone in it looks. And since the evil crew hates positive and happy feelings full of love and charity - the more positive the more better. Works very well for me. ❤️

Wow, it sounds like yesterday was a remarkable day of inner discovery! Your message expresses so clearly what Swedenborg emphasized about innocence, an example being this passage: "Because innocence is the very heart of all the good of heaven, it also affects minds so strongly that people who feel it-which happens at the approach of an angel of the inmost heaven-feel as though they are not under their own control. They are moved by such a joy, so taken out of themselves, so to speak, that it seems as though all the pleasure of the world is nothing by comparison. I speak of this from having experienced it." I love the journey you're on, Mary.

[@roseannerainwatersmith12]

Y'all are having too much fun. Lol! This was very interesting! Thank you guys.

[@offTheLeftEye]

We were indeed! And thank you :)

[@stevecasey2612]

2 or 3 things for people to consider, that may help people under Swedborg's experience of other beings. Firstly Swedborg could only write down, what he was able to humanily comprehend and describe through his personal knowledge and insight, thus sometimes the limits of his own understanding, would use an example within his consciences, so not always perfect, but sincere and amazing for the time 17 century. Secondly the planets in our solar system, have like ours, various quantum vibrations, so we can not see with our 0.0008. % of true vision that we as human beings have. Which is a blessing in disguise. Also, I think that possibly, his mind might of used a planet in our solar system to confirm to him, where he was, but in reality, could of been, just a planet similar, but because it was fammilar, he assigned it to be a local planet. Nonetheless he was sincere and full of love, and no body's perfect. This took me a few months to gain insight, hope it may help somebody.

[@offTheLeftEye]

I really appreciate your message, Steve. It sounds like you've spend a good deal of time working to develop insights that can be useful in holding Swedenborg's teachings. Very cool.

[@thomasgontarz3372]

Fascinating! The alien man taking the toga from the alien woman must be a correspondence of their function in the body. Perception and a cross checking membrane with the divine design makes me think their able to know anothers quality as easy as putting on a toga. The spleen is an organ of the immune system i believe.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Very interesting insights, Thomas! Thanks for sharing that.

[@julianbristow4793]

Truly amazing. When you see all the distant stars and galaxies out there, it makes you wonder that they were created by Jehovah for a specific purpose, to house other life forms similar to our own. Swedenborg was obviously taking these extrasolar journeys in order to prove that we are not the only ones in the universe.

[@offTheLeftEye]

I definitely agree, Jules! The general point seems to be that we share in the identity of being the "created"-- vessels that are capable of receiving and promoting divine love and wisdom. Amazing, indeed!

[@Shawn-hs8qk]

Are there audio books of all the Swedenborg books? thanks

[@offTheLeftEye]

Here you go! swedenborg.com/tag/audio-book/

[@riku2973]

Ah the first video i watched back in June (:

[@offTheLeftEye]

That's so cool!

[@mod69]

Not a space odyssey but enjoyed very much

[@offTheLeftEye]

I'm glad this was enjoyable for you!

[@julianbristow4793]

You guys are funny, but it was educational. As for someone living in the 18th century, Swedenborg was indeed well beyond his time.👍🏻🍀🙂

[@offTheLeftEye]

He totally was-- I feel like that is more common with people chosen by the Lord to disclose spiritual teachings. What do you think?

[@LindaCasey]

😁

[@kenbellchambers4577]

You gents touched on this, but it may be useful to note the following. It is not possible to see any life, or even most other things on other planets and moons although all of them have been created for human life, and are in fact, inhabited. The only thing that can be seen is the basic underlying universal substrate, i.e. rocks and star debris. The reason that it takes a special method to see, or sensate these people on other earths is simple. Our senses are formed to perceive only the frequencies or vibrational rates of our unique planet. All planets are completely different in this respect due to the relative position and relationship with other heavenly bodies. It is obvious that we are suspended in a matrix composed of the gravitational forces of all other heavenly bodies. It is our position that makes us unique. It takes a special device called by Swedenborg an 'angelic column' to be able to communicate or in any way perceive the humans on any other earth. The column is not the only device, as apparently being accompanied by celestial humans also allows communication. It is interesting to note that the highest degree of human evolution is the celestial angel, and these beings share a common heaven wherever they may be in the universe. The angelic column is not mythical, which I can testify, as I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience these devices on two separate occasions, and I can say with confidence that they do amazing and wonderful things to the recipient. In my case, some falsities were removed, and my career as an agricultural reformer was amazingly enhanced. It is quite likely the angelic column will also be used as a transport device in the soon coming main rapture of the church, due any day now. The rapture has been occurring for at least a half century, with people who have the desire to serve others. This willingness to dedicate one's life for usefulness raises the vibrational rate of a person, and is detectable by angelic 'aliens' by means of special instruments on board their craft.

[@offTheLeftEye]

This is some fascinating information, Ken! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@fantasip]

Nikola Tesla said "...if you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration" ..."Nikola Tesla also said that 'if we want to know the secrets of the universe, we should focus on the non physical aspects than physical aspects, that will speed up the inventions .' So that's it the trio energy, frequency and vibrations are all nonphysical aspects. We can't see them with eyes." 2:40 in the video 'it wasn't the language (barriers) but how they thought about things that differentiated them', hm🤔🙄interesting indeed isn't it?

[@offTheLeftEye]

Very interesting, indeed! Thanks for adding that into the mix!

[@fantasip]

Sho Razorblade ....wow, what a movie, something for a scriptwriter to take in consideration🤔🎬🎥

[@kennykeffer8305]

God took me to see all of the planet's i have seen the new earth it's all green and i know where the oceans went to the guy in the bible didn't know where the oceans went to this post is cool every one wears a white gown in heaven something like what you were showing

[@offTheLeftEye]

I appreciate you sharing with us, Kenny!

[@rogerscottcathey]

Somewhere in his writings he notes the time required to travel and have always wondered what his velocity was. So if he reached the edge of the solar system, that is, nine billion miles, in two hours, his velocity had to be 4.5 billion miles an hour.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Whoosh! That's fast! There's an interesting mix of physical reality and spiritual experience in some of Swedenborg's experiences -- sometimes hard to keep track of which world he was in at the time! Because it was *spirits* from those planets he was talking to -- who, he says, all end up in the same spiritual world as we earthlings do....

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@offTheLeftEye : He also traveled to the planets and recorded his transit time. It may be in his spiritual diary.

[@offTheLeftEye]

@@rogerscottcathey Here's a reference to a period of time while spiritually traveling to the edge of our solar system and then to a planet past that divide (from his book "Other Planets" #127): "ANGELS who had been sent by the Lord took me to a particular extrasolar planet, where I was allowed to observe the planet itself, but not to speak with its inhabitants-although I was allowed to speak with spirits who came from there. After their lives in the physical world come to an end, all the people who inhabit a given planet become spirits and remain in the general neighborhood of their planet. . . . Being taken to other planets in the universe does not mean being taken there in the body, but rather in the spirit, which is led through changes of the state of its inner life that seem like movement through space. . . . Only the Lord, though, has the power to lead our spirit outside its usual sphere through changes of our inner state. Only he can bring it about that these changes follow a sequence that leads to a state of harmony or similarity with the people to whom we are being led. . . . While I was awake, angels from the Lord led my spirit to a particular planet in the universe; we were accompanied by some spirits from our planet. We advanced to the right for two hours. At the outer limit of our solar system the first thing I saw was a dense yet shining cloud, and beyond that there was fiery smoke rising out of a huge abyss. This was a vast chasm separating this side of our solar system from some extrasolar planets." And then it is a much longer trip to the second extrasolar planet that he visited. This is from "Other Planets" 138: "LATER on, I was taken by the Lord to a planet out in space that was farther from our planet than the first one, the one just discussed. I could tell it was farther away because it took my spirit two whole days to be led there. This planet was to the left, while the former one was to the right. As I said before [§§125, 127, 135], remoteness in the spiritual world arises not from distance between locations but from a difference in state. Therefore I could tell from the slowness of my trip there-two days-that the inner state of its spirits (the state of their feelings and consequent thoughts) was significantly different from the inner state of the spirits of our planet."

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@offTheLeftEye : Thank you for that. I thought he gave transit time to Jupiter and Mercury some where. I may have been mistaken.

[@offTheLeftEye]

@@rogerscottcathey You're very welcome! I'm not finding a transit time to Jupiter or Mercury mentioned in "Other Planets," but it very well could be mentioned somewhere in his Spiritual Diary. I''ll be on the lookout for that. Fascinating to think about!

[@CesarSandoval024]

If you're in a level of heaven would you be able to visit other levels of heaven?

[@offTheLeftEye]

Yes! Everyone's spiritual body stays in the level that they are at home in, but everyone can also travel to other places and levels in a kind of "thought body." We talk about that in our episode "You Spiritual Body" at about 29 minutes 40 seconds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5ymi4OaeNVjkLs And Swedenborg tells a story about angels from different levels of heaven having a visit together. You can hear the story in our episode "5 Reunions in the Afterlife" at 15 minutes 18 seconds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raG6o6etod6pe5I
