This has to be the best OTLE episode to date ! I’ve been studying with Curtis and OTLE for awhile now I remember when I had a hard time remembering goodness and truth went together ! Now I’m totally getting all of it easily ! OTLE And these teachings are my love right now ! I think I’m with the love of the lord group ! Thank you all again !

[@offTheLeftEye]

Bless you Bonnie! For sticking with it all this time and putting in the work to both learn and live it. That is the real reward. Yay for being team Lord.

[@maryvalentine4924]

Curtis - this teaching is a blessing beyond all gratitude. I need to know about heaven and its wonders. This sustains me and encourages me in all I do. Blessings ❤

Hey, Mary! Florian here, from your study group! 👋🏻 I know, right?! This material sustains me every day-I can’t imagine how we’d survive without it. Much love and healing to you and yours 🤍

Aura, that is what it was. My daughter visited me in a dream and trying to explain to people the love and joy that glowed from her. She never truly felt loved on earth but loved others whole heartedly. I know she now knows because she has such a beautiful aura.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Thank you, yes she sure gives and receives love now in heaven. For some of us there are blocks to those streams of love on this earth but not in the afterlife, thankfully. Take care T Loof.

Thank you my dear friend. This is on Valentine’s Day too….A Day when we think about love 💕 and to me love in all of its fullness, broadness, height, depth, magnificence, light, warmth, endurance, patience, long suffering, passionate desire for good, in all of its spiritual, physical and eternal natures, we become, radiate, give out the love and the LIGHT of God. Slowly the season is changing, the nights are getting warmer, the seeds are stirring in the earth, the cycle of recreation is happening, the sap is moving in the trees and kindness is showing its face in an often brutal, unkind and unloving World. Oh Lord my God may I bring your light and love to others

Love is an incredible feeling … I’m not talking about the love we see between two people .. Love flows and washes over you .. Even the most momentary feeling of this flow is complete bliss .. It creates a vibration of absolute bliss, warmth, truth . I have lived a very difficult life with evil at every turn of my whole life from birth to present, The one thing that keeps me going is this FLOW of love that washes over me from out of nowhere . I live for these moments of bliss which I can only describe as the breath of God falling upon me .. I am forever grateful for these brief moments of reprieve…

[@offTheLeftEye]

Dooz I am so sorry to hear that life has been difficult for you all along. May that trajectory change. And yet you find the small moments of deep love to sustain you. It is a taste of what it will be like when we are fully immersed in heavenly life. May today bring you some of those moments Dooz.

After listening to this for the day, I'll say that you really hit the love-nail on this one. Love of the Lord is what attracts us most, the very essence of our ability to love and cherish the true meaning of knowledge, purpose, truth, and all that which is good.

[@offTheLeftEye]

[@mortalclown3812]

The beautiful work of Emanuel Swedenborg overlaps with the greatest literature from the afterlife ~ the layers in heaven as well as the highest celestial realms are covered with far more similarities than differences. I find the convergence of myriad accounts to be very comforting, too. That's why I like to read about NDEs (near death experiences). When you asked what love looks like, btw, my first thought was: light. Lol I could be cheating because I had two NDEs. It's almost impossible to describe the vastness of love: I've likened it to a tsunami, but that's not very positive, I guess. Blessings to everyone - and if you're suffering, may extra angels find and comfort you - from the heart 💗

[@offTheLeftEye]

Well, MortalClown, the idea of a tsunami surely indicates a certain kind of power and reach. So if we look at the POSITIVE correspondence of water (truth), a metaphorical tsunami sounds like a wonderful thing! And yes -- light and love come together -- just like you cannot separate the sun's warmth and light. We join you in wishing blessings for everyone!

Hello Curtis, It's interesting to me how God seems to Tailor This love energy so that each person or angel can manifest love in their own way? It's not just a one size fits all kind of deal. for most of my life people spoke of heaven and love like it was just one type of place or object, but it seems here that heaven and love operate on many different levels. This implies to me that there must be some form of free wiil in play, because God is not trying to force you into a mold of any kind. Thank you. Good Video.

OTLE, thank you for the video. Toward the end of the program, Curtis mentions two kinds of Heavenly leanings, moving toward truth and understanding on a cognitive level, and going more toward love for what is good. It reminds me of the aptitude tests we were given in college to give us a better idea of our natural affinities and talents in order to pick out potential career choices. Would it be safe to say that like the so-called right or left-brained individuals, there are traits in each of us that determines our way of expressing our spirits?

[@offTheLeftEye]

[@BothSidesNow52]

These two concepts are quite tricky to understand in keeping them separate. Yu have to keep the difference in mind for some time before they can be combined or realised singly. I think, you have to determine what kind of person or personality you are and what you most resonate with. I think I am more conceptual but I am trying hard to be more based in my feelings. Thank you for showing me the difference.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Well said Hummingbird. Being both distinct and united is one of the great paradoxes. Swedenborg writes about how the wiser angel become the more they realize that they are completely the Lord's while at the same time are more aware that they have a sense of self life. It is a life long journey to combine the two. One image that impacted me was when years ago I heard a workshop about prenatal development. Over and over the fetus would combine, then separate, then combine again. The details have faded but it was a lovely image of this process we all go through. May you become more feeling based as you aspire to be.

[@4theLord1]

You know what this reminds me of? Our cerebrospinal and vascular systems in our bodies. The cerebrospinal fluid is formed from the vascular system through a semipermeable membrane, which is located between the third and fourth ventricles of the brain. The smaller cells can go through the membrane to become cerebrospinal fluid, which circulates within the four ventricles, and through the craniosacral system. The red blood cells are kept out. This is why it can be determined that if there are blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid, it's not a good thing. I'm thinking of the cells of the cerebrospinal fluid as Love to the Lord and the vascular system cells as Love to the Neighbor.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Fascinating Sally, You know a bit about the human body. I do not know about these fluids. Thank you for the comparison. I remember once reading about the interaction of the heart and lungs and how they perfectly demonstrate the interaction between husband and wife. It was amazing to me at the time... the wife providing the love which fuels the husband who breathes in wisdom which invigorates her love. The human anatomy is a vivid illustration of correspondences. Here is a video about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqubdKuXhrqksK8 take care Sally

[@4theLord1]

@Off The Left Eye Beautiful and perfect! I have Swedenborg's books called The Brain, in which he describes the cerebrospinal fluid motion. My instructor, the late and great Dr. John Upledger, who developed CranioSacral Therapy, knew about Swedenborg and his anatomy research. In 1985, when I learned about this, my faith and my life's work came together. It was a beautiful thing. Swedenborg's scientific studies on the brain were what he was doing right before he had his spiritual calling, if I remember correctly. He wrote with love, respect and reverence concerning the human body. I was very much touched by this, as I was trained in anatomy for Nursing, where it was treated of, in the dry manner of today's scientific language. This made me realize how gradually and painstakingly Swedenborg was prepared to be brought into the spiritual world. The knowledge about the cerebrospinal fluid rhythm and motion was totally absent from my studies in college, at the University of Arizona, which is considered a "medical Meca." That knowledge wasn't even in Gray's anatomy until 10 or 15 years after I learned about it. I wonder if they teach it yet today.

Hopefully we get to wear nice clothes if we want to , I think we do ! In Swedenborgs time - perhaps clothes didn’t have the same meaning they do now thence why he referred to Robes !! ❤️

[@SoferiaNebruin]

Yes. I have been to Heaven. Interestingly, I just finished watching a swedenborg video that explains in detail the clothes of a married couple in Heaven and the relevance/meaning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goiTgaiae7ylnMk Clothes are interesting in Heaven. In the higher levels it's like everything is alive or at least very responsive, so clothing responds to the emotions of the people wearing them as well as to the emotions of the person who is observing someone's clothing. It's amazingly beautiful since in Heaven there are only positive emotions which create beauty. You can choose your clothing and/or you can also just manifest your clothing automatically, it probably depends on the level of heaven you are engaging in and the activity/purpose. In the higher levels everything becomes more intricate and refined.

[@rosa9005]

Like if you know marvel, similar to the ether in Thor dark world but more like liquid fire. Then you said fire and I was like YEAH SON NAILED IT 🤣

[@PhylosophyHour]

It might be the interstellar fan in me but I relate love to gravity. Like the force of attraction that draws things together and organizes entropy

[@offTheLeftEye]

Absolutely, PH. Love is the gravity and fire/warmth of the spiritual world. Nailed it for sure.

[@jordanzumwalt6336]

I'm just curious. Can you go from the 3rd heaven to the first? And can you move between heavens until you figure out which one suits you best?

[@offTheLeftEye]

Hi Jordan -- According to what Swedenborg learned, it sounds like you get most of that figured out in your education period immediately after death. You don't find your heavenly home until it's all sorted out, and you're completely who you truly are. But there are passages about angels being prepared to visit different levels -- so maybe that could partly be about exploring the fit on other levels?

There is also love in darkness. The love in darkness is peace and contentment. Not all darkness has love in it, but certain places in the afterlife, ie, the inner earth are primarily dark and the darkness there is loving. There is coolness in the love there, enough heat to be life giving, but enough coolness to be soothing. Inner earth is the womb of the divine, the feminine aspect of God. The spirits who live in inner earth are very peaceful people, and they are motivated by empathy, which is the feeling of wanting the best for others because witnessing conflict causes pain. People who are 100% conflict avoidant and who are damaged by heightened emotional states will go to inner earth, because the love there is the love of what is safe. The souls who live in the shadowy, watery, tranquil world of inner earth are protected from anything harsh even from harsh light and very potent love. The love that is in the darkness is trust and innocence and beauty. This is the world of the unborn, where abortions and miscarriages go. I’ve been there. It’s great.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Thank you for sharing your peaceful experiences, Eric.

[@JSM7180]

How long does it take after death until the loved one reach to heaven (hopefully ❤️) from spirit world?

[@offTheLeftEye]

It's an individual story, JSM, according to Swedenborg. Everyone goes through a kind of self-exploration process, followed by purification and education, until they are completely clear about who they want to be and what their heart is all about. Then their heart leads them to their eternal home. For some, not much "sorting" is needed; for others, there is more to work out, more detaching from their earth-based concerns, before they have their priorities straight. In one place, Swedenborg said it could take up to 30 years (which is odd, since there is not the same kind of TIME as we know here) -- so I read that as taking a lonng time for some. But he describes others who go to heaven almost immediately. We're all on our own spiritual path, so the answer is different for everybody.

Cool. Yes numbers are fascinating Tom.

Just watched a movie on Netflix called "Things Heard and Seen" (released in 2021) and they must have made reference to Swendenborg at least a dozen times. But this was a very dark movie, not a feel good story which was a real shame because I had hopes it would have some redeeming & uplifting message.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Here is a response to that movie from Curtis. I did not watch it myself because I heard it was dark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHvUYoykhqmVo7c

[@Kaliashdevi]

Thank you, dear. but isn't it how love feels rather than looks like?

[@offTheLeftEye]

We are trying to describe such elusive things, Unified. Is love visible? Can we touch it or pick it up? Like beauty and trust and other wonderful things we struggle to capture them with words. Yet we need to try.

[@Kaliashdevi]

@@offTheLeftEye I understand, dearest. But from psychotherapy where e need to sense the 'other,' to 21-years of research communing with the field in the remote Himalayas, and also in the jungle foothills with tigers and elephants and the likes, it all appears to boil down to feelings; meaning this is a sensing-feeling Universe. Did you see that dog howling just before the earthquake in Turkey? It was this feeling it aroused, and if people had heeded that feeling it could have saved lives. But we go into our heads/psychology and get our knickers in a twist. Everything communes via this ESP, from electrons to galaxies. It's behind communicating 'at a spooky distance', as Einstein put it because ESP travels faster than the speed of light. The problems is like everything in this mad-zone, Love has been split into defining parts again and again and then labeled - and then we fight over definitions. I wrote a free book for young people called 'Love's Mysterious Ways.' The term 'love' has been so misused, we have forgotten its the essence of everything. It's so simple but today we cannot bear simplicity. Nothing could exist without Love and it's why the lack of it here is causing everything to fall apart and worse, bringing about evil, which is simply the complete extraction of love from whatever. These levels you are discussing are the various depths of love. You and the team have a lot of love; I can sense-feel it and that's enough for me. It tune in for this feeling .... ;->

Talk Heathen and The Atheist Experience are weekly call-in internet shows in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism, produced by the Atheist Community of Austin. Except for most organized religion, I enjoy your channel as a partial believer and (but) would like to see how your content can stand up to scrutiny and skepticism. Would you be able to call into one of the shows at some point to lay out a basic case for your channel content? Peace, love and joy.

[@offTheLeftEye]

Curtis is pretty busy creating his own content so I am not sure he would want to weigh in with an atheist channel. But I could ask. You call yourself a partial believer. What does that mean Jeffrey?

[@ThePurpleOwl]

@@offTheLeftEye Thank you. I enjoy practicing more skepticism these days in the wake of so much religious craziness which has sought to remove rights in favor of Bronze Age religious preferences. I'm partial in that I don't wholeheartedly accept the idea of a God in the form of a deity but rather a living universe with a modicum of metaphysics seems plausible to me. I was a spiritualist for 22 years but I still don't necessarily think that time spent was wasted. Thank you.

@@ThePurpleOwl Bless you for trusting that those years as a spiritualist were part of your path too. God is incredibly efficient at using all of our experiences to lead us to good.

Is it true, therefore, that those we love on earth and look forward to seeing in heaven, we may not see because of the separation of the angels according to what and/or who they love?

If you love someone here on earth, Vera, you will surely be able to see them in heaven. Thought brings presence. You may not choose to live in the same part of heaven but that is choice, not something forced on you.

This msg is dead to people in prisons. Love does not exist there. The after effects of prison completely eliminate the ability for Gods love to enter into one's life. It doesn't matter if someone claims to be a Christian and close to Jesus. You are a stain on society and God is absolutely completely1000% incapable of bringing love into your life. I for one look forward to asking God about the inability of him or this "love" to impact anyone's life when they've broken their life so badly that it is beyond the scope of love or anything Divine to do anything.

[@offTheLeftEye]

I am so sorry that things feel so hopeless for you shostetler. I don't know if you yourself experienced prison or someone you care about. It does sound very bleak. I cannot speak from experience. I am moved by the things I have read by victims of the holocaust, which is surely as awful as prison ever was. Eva Cor spoke in this video about her life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6qsiKSPqbmWhpY I pray that you can find peace.

[@shostetler]

@@offTheLeftEye Curtis, thank you for your reply. I know people who have been in prison and have been affected by unjust laws. It can destroy a life, sometimes permanently. There isn't much worse than being shunned by everyone and left just to exist, not thrive but just exist. I have a problem with love seeming to be the answer that everyone seems to just say "love will heal, and God cares". Well, God can't impact free will and he can't fix this physical world we live in. I am very disheartened by N Korea and the harm inflicted upon the citizens who have no recourse. No amount of prayer will touch them. It makes this life seem beyond painful at times and no amount of prayer by the many masses, or anything will touch these harms. I do admit I get angry with everyone saying Jesus is the answer. It's a bunch of hot air meant to make them look good and to tickle their egos that they "said something God would approve of". Curtis, I've commented a few times on this issue and you seem to be the only individual on the planet that seems to acknowledge that injustices exist, that there can be no mending of these wrongs. It does cause harm to our spiritual growth, or stunts it completely when prayers are in complete and total vain. That, I have a problem with...its the humbling, the humility of people to God which is done in earnest with an innocent heart and yet is met with silence. I think this is the reason atheism exists.

Well done Sir. 😊👍I wonder if Archangels linger in the Third or Innermost Heaven when not dealing with other more important spiritual issues ? In reference to The Holy Bible and The Book of Acts in The Upper Room and the experience of God's Glory while still on the Earth Plane should be noted.
