Every Gary Lachman episode is amazing

[@lenaengell8528]

As a Swede, I am very proud of Swedenborg and his fenomenal work. Lots of love, Lena

[@laurelharris8519]

I picked up my 3 Gary Lachman books on Jung, Swedenborg and Steiner today. The store clerk said she was impressed with my choices. I was impressed that she was impressed by my choices. :)

[@GaryLachman]

Impressive.

[@christinemiller230]

As always, I appreciate you and all your guests. 🙂

[@scottandrebeccaadrian3938]

Off the Left Eye is a delightful KZbin channel comprised of members of the Swedenborg Foundation. The aspect of healing Mr. Lachman notes, is present in every show. I have found great comfort in his teachings and truly appreciate people such as Mr. Lachman and the scholars at Off the Left Eye. They do the heavy lifting of sorting through the ponderous works. Check them out! (And thank you for your profound life work as well Jeffrey.)

OTLE is a bit swept up in belief vs studying the man and his work, imo. For example, Swedenborg denied reincarnation & it's impossible to find any of his followers who disagree. My problem w/religion in general is just that things are taken lock, stock, barrel. Fwiw, I'm crazy about ES - just think a lot of other evidence re: reincarnation has occurred subsequent to his visions. Tbh, I'm biased simply based on a single recurring dream I had for decades - a dramatic drowning death w/details that repeated identically.

[@romanticandperky]

Emanuel Swedenborg was an amazing man. Who was an adherent of Swedenborg, a 'Swedenborgian', was John Chapman, aka 'Johnny Appleseed'; An early American Christian missionary. I was with a direct descendant of his one evening in 1976, when we walked into a recording studio on the eighth flr. of Radio City Music Hall, NYC. Deborah Harry was there at the time.

[@LilyGazou]

Another great conversation. Thank you.

[@hdrake1000]

I love watching Gary's lectures. I also have his lecture/s on The Hermetic Jung on Amazon. He truly is amazing and watch him when I can.

[@bajajones5093]

again outstanding. Jeff, you are an outstanding interviewer. Actually one of the best!

[@kirstinstrand6292]

Brilliancy always Shines!😁😘🤗😊

[@URGettingSleepy]

what a marvellous interview! thank you both! so much to follow up on.

[@dreamyogi]

Thank you for this video on Swedenborg. I enjoyed hearing about Wilson Van Dusen, Henry James, August Strindberg, and more. I found "Confronting Hallucinations," a cassette recording of a talk by Van Dusen, at the Sonoma State Library. Van Dusen's effort to bring Swedenborg's experiences into his professional work with voice hearers is inspired.

[@kirstinstrand6292]

A Fantastic review of early, great Thinkers. I've also learned about myself, and many other things. Love this discussion. 😍😃🤩🤗

[@martynspooner5822]

I had never heard of this guy until now. Thanks again to Mr Mishlove for the many brilliant interviews he brings to us. I always look forward to his new content and as a layman always learn something I am often completely unaware of.

[@tyanite1]

Can you imagine all the subjects, topics, theories and people that Dr. Mishlove knows? It must be a vast, vast base of knowledge.

[@martynspooner5822]

tyanite1 No to be honest I cannot, but love getting even a little taste.

[@EarInn]

You know what would be great? Listing the books mentioned under the video. (I appreciate your including the covers in the video!)

[@glenemma1]

I keep finding these gems which I have missed in the past. Thanks Jeffrey - you are doing a great service to Humanity with these interviews.

[@vladimirkraynyk]

Great material. Please do one on C.G. JUNG with Gary. Would be really interesting to hear his insight on him.

[@sonedeogeehtsne8280]

We appreciate you.

[@romanticandperky]

I walked into Plaza Sound studios (eighth flr. of Radio City Music Hall, NYC) one evening while 'Blondie' was making their first album. Mr. Lachman wasn't there at the time, but Deborah Harry was. I was with a 'roadie' who worked for my brother (also a musician). He was a direct descendant of John Chapman aka 'Johnny Appleseed', who was a Swedenborgian evangelist. My brother's band, the Dirty Angels, was recording in the same studio at the time with 'Blondie'. Emanuel Swedenborg believed he could talk to angels. I reading Mr. Lachman's book on Jung presently. I can't claimed to have talked to angels, but synchronicity is very real!

[@benbishop1131]

Always enjoy these interviews with Gary. He mentions Adam Crabtree, another favorite guest from this channel but it's hard to pick favorites here.

[@SwedenborgFoundation]

Great interview!

[@inquisitivemind8672]

I really enjoyed this interview. I have yet to read Swedenborg-have been introduced to him through "off the left eye" channel. Gary's observations particularly around 50 minutes in, i think many could identify with. I often felt that the interior is off limits for many because they go in and want to take everyone and everything with them and then when they go out,they leave all of themselves behind....it is very interesting.... Thanks 👍🏻

[@nikkijordan9168]

I truly enjoyed this discussion. After 24 years of experimentation with the collective world and knowing not to read anything until I have the depth and immediacy with it and the ability to explain it for us to grasp (of course all the while doing it with students and clients) ... I am actually willing (or it is time) to learn about those decades and centuries before me who played with the same. To me there is no dream state, hypnogogic state to connect. It is just a natural thing we lost. So natural once we learn. Having grown up with zero religion I have been told gave me a leg up. Perhaps. I just came to this connection and knowledge one day in my mid 30s when I was so frustrated with life. Studies and work in science, engineering, business (particularly as it related to environmental and social issues) left me so wanting for what more there was in this reality, what my purpose really was, what is the truth ... and I screamed in my head to the universe - show me why I am here or I will ... learn to how evaporate 😂 and then 2 weeks later ... I was re-wired. In very calm and methodical ways, I was shown how to connect to consciousness and intelligence we have but disconnected from. Now listening after all these years to people (men) in the centuries before ... what they played more difficultly with I know we can have with ease ... and it's useful in everyday life, for society and the world. We have made it to out "there" and as such lost its power and use here. Like these ones you speak of, I too know that we don't exist as we think we do. My job is just to have the words and practices to show fruitfully what I know. Thank you for making this discussion available 🙏

[@davepayne2024]

Fantastic!

[@robertprice5039]

If you have not already, you should interview Juergen Ziewe. Definitely a modern day Swedenborg.

[@mortalclown3812]

I'm one of his big fans. Grateful for his work.

[@Cybervue]

I just finished his book on Swedenborg. Gary also published in 2021, a short work on Swedenborg's Correspondences. I may review it for my channel.

[@nickshires9537]

Thanks Jeff & Gary!

[@SpanglerConrad]

The 2nd conversation between Mishlove / Lachman I've seen (1st was on Steiner), both excellent. I really enjoy these two talking, for instance 42:06 when Lachman speaks of Van Dusen and Mishlove offers "I knew him". Later they tie Van Dusen's work with psychotic patients to Swedenborg's belief in good and bad spirits. This is a very interesting and entertaining discussion of Swedenborg's life and ideas, grounded in a 2018 frame of mind.

[@topherming6565]

Gary Lachman is right when he says Swedenborg is difficult to read. What I would like to have is a collection of nothing but ES's experiences in heaven. That's what interests me most.

[@LordHPLovecraft]

Great video, no such thing as too much Gary.I read about 10 of his books ,still many to go.

[@DrumBragg]

Truly wonderful - thank you both!

[@marshalkrieg2664]

Swedenborg's own writings dismiss the modern claim that he used hypnogogic sleep to derive his visions...Swedenborg describes his transportation into the spirit realm as happening during ordinary wakefulness, while on walks etc.

[@GaryLachman]

Absolutely not. Please consult his Dream Diary and Spiritual Journal.

[@benjaminpendleton7797]

Correct. Swedenborg clearly states that he visited the next world in a full state of wakefulness. Don't know why the author/guest chose to ignore what is common knowledge among those who are familiar with Swedenborg.

[@hakim_alrooh]

Jeffery , how are you. I wish you good health ❤

[@fancynancylucille]

The "Confirmatory Light" described by Swedenborg is probably the "Scintilla" of Jung. I call it a spark with a silent "ding", like when the kids do learning games online: a bell rings when you get it right.

[@jerrybear6440]

Thank you.....

[@Jsmithyy]

fill your mind with the collective consioussness. Once your mind is full of this truth you will meet awareness .

[@seanparnelleverett]

Cool interview, just what I've been exploring. Getting into a hypnogagic state before sleep & checking things out. The angels/lights/jinns/orbs/spots & dots. When I see those " angels " I try and focus on them to see what turns up. A bit like wave/particle collapse. Angelic/dimensional collapse. A big thanks to Jeffery & Mr Lachman for putting the H back in hypnogagic and introducing some interesting characters. Thumbs Up !

[@prospero6337]

Gary needs a Vulcan Mindmeld so he can down load all he knows TO ME ! :>

[@peggyharris3815]

51:40 in heaven " you find the partner you SHOULD have had in life." Does that kinda worry you...just a little? What if you should of had a partner that wasn't as tolerant of your....misdeeds as your earth partner. What if...oh no...I'm starting to think too much.

[@MylesMeyers-g8m]

Well, Strindberg, at the time, was working with alchemy. The mercury vapours he was exposed to probably caused his feelings of being persecuted.

[@AgrippaPetronius1903]

Brilliant

[@tyanite1]

Side question. Are there any good studies on Psychometry?

[@benjaminpendleton7797]

If anyone out there is interested in "Swedenborgian" theology, as a life-long follower of the New Church/Church of the New Jersulam, I'd recommend starting with True Christian Religion.

[@_Darkhitect_]

The perfect example of a perfect link into a guy who gets you to see the loaded with ideas of suicide and other wrong angry man projections that are not really there but carried and heavy.

[@omniufo7350]

Wow what an intro😀

[@TenaciousDmitchell]

Hey Hollywood screen writers. How about making a movie about Emanuel?

[@AtticusStount]

Therion made a song, The Dreams of Swedenborg (the correct pronunciation is Svaydenboree).

[@Jsmithyy]

deep divers those 7 minutes plus are worthy of interview.

[@Jsmithyy]

good at the end of every breath out lives an opportunity.

[@topherming6565]

According to Swedenborg does heaven exist in several different levels or 'planes'?

[@mortalclown3812]

Yes - different levels and he says hell has different levels, as well. He viewed hell as a destination of preferences vs a place where one was damned externally.

[@dan020350]

[@pentegarn1]

I remember when Reagan did that. We lost our jobs and the clients were just released onto the streets to figure it out for themselves. We all ended up working at McDonalds and Taco Bell for a while waiting for something to trickle down that never did. Or maybe that was under George Bush Sr? Doesn't matter they were the same entity.

Yes lets lay out the truth in a scientific order that becomes knowledge rather than belief. Belive half of what you see. Bekieve no thing you hear or read. Complete the investigation. Only you can complete this.

[@Keyfer62]

Swedenborg identifies Jesus Christ as the Divine Human.

[@yellow6100]

23:00 some of the stuff said here is proven fake. I guess he says there are some reports that are giving him a bad name .
