I am SO happy for the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg and grateful to the crew of Offthelefteye for making this critical information widely available to everyone. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for this information and beautiful documentary :) While the music is a bit loud in the beginning for just one or two minutes, after that the sound gets balanced again smoothly till the end
Is Swedenborg's state of heightened consciousness properly being interpreted as "intense concentration" ... did he document this term?. Or were his new awarenesses perhaps just the opposite....that of surrendering the brain/intense thought to the greater awareness by means of "surrender" in meditation, that state where the "walls of intellect are dissolved, surrendered" , where thereby the subtle "knowing" of the mind of the Divine finally is heard? I'm wondering if "intense concentration" is more a logical mind intellect wrong interpretation that may be disallowing what we now know as "surrender" of scientific thought. When we stop forcing the brain/thought to get us to that place to which it CANNOT go...then the exhausted seeker falls into the arms of Divine Wisdom which may take us to that place. (per thousands of years of Eastern India experience).
Hi Cheri! No, Swedenborg believed that the world (and us!) was created by God. You can read more about how Swedenborg talks about God / Jesus on this page if you'd like: www.swedenborg.com/emanuel-swedenborg/explore/lord/
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him]...[...] For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11

This documentary was an entrance stage showcasing Swedenborg’s achievements. I believe Swedenborg was misunderstood in his era and as the times changed, his work became noticed. I have found new meaning in God and Jesus since listening to Swedenborg’s work.
Unfortunately this is an older video that was made for us and the sound design and quality here isn't great.

Interesting point at the 11:30 about the 3 people found by a study at Stanford to be the most brilliant whoever lived, Goethe, John Stewart Mill, and Swedenborg. I wonder where John Dee landed in their study.
Just found last night. Appreciate the downloads. Thank you. Can't believe I'd never heard of him before now. Unbelievable information & you give away.. Thanks so much
Very good and informative program but the music is overpowering the narration. Sometimes it’s quite difficult to listen to. But aside from that I enjoyed it.
Although questionable his visions and beliefs about the afterlife and spiritual world. He seemed a man of love and certainly wise. His work regarding concordance in the Scripture and it’s spiritual interpretation has been a true blessing to me and others in understanding the Scripture. Though he leaves much work undone in regard to understanding the Scripture he has lit the flame for many of us in the dark. And that I believe is of God.
You are on track. So long as you can have some grip of the Internal Sense of the Word and apply it to life or live by it, then you are being led by the Lord Jesus Christ into Heaven. You should by now have no doubts about life after death. Man is but a spirit clothed with a physical body so as to be able to live life on earth. While on earth we eare expected by our creato to live a life of Faith and Love
Thank you for this. Swedenborg is indeed a revelation ! Your work in promoting and explaining his material is incredible and transformative in ways I am only just beginning to fully appreciate. You're doing great work. Long may it continue !
My god...did this man even sleep ? I feel so 'unworthy' just listing to what this man did in one life...( can someone please give me some juicy' Swedenborg gossip'...Some blunders maybe...anything? ;-)
"Other Wise,, what would I do all day" awesome moment,, the sound of music can be turned down and still have continuity it distracts a lot from the mes sage,,
So blessed to have been lead to Swedenborg ... I wish to be a part of a Swedenborgian Community, can't imagine being without Swedenborg's wisdom in my daily life. I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Best wishes
Did Swedenborg hint anything about reincarnation? I don't embrace that idea but many things about it. When he talks about creating the next life. Swedenborg was definitely a gift. The Bible and all science and philosophy are Hermetically inspired and Swedenborg nailed so many things.
From what Swedenborg observed during his 27 years of daily spiritual experiences, we spend just one lifetime here on the the physical plane and then continue our cycles of learning and development in the spiritual world, rather than coming back to earth. But Swedenborg does briefly offer an explanation for the experience of "remembering past lives" which has to do with the fact that in spirit people can easily share memories with each other in a very vivid way. In this video, "Do We Reincarnate?", Curtis looks at the differences and similarities between Swedenborg's reports and reincarnation beliefs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kVYKEfpnxj0.html
This was definitely worth hearing, even though I've already been listening to the Swedenborg foundation on RU-vid for over a year! I shared it to FB because it's such a thorough introduction to Swedenborg, the man. Thank you! It was also cool to see Dr. Jonathan Rose from a few years back :)
I would love to watch this but the intro (first two minutes) is too "woo woo" and the loud music completely drowns out the documentary. It's a shame because knowing Swedenborg's background is important as a basis for listening to what he had to say to the world. It would be so beneficial for the Swedenborg foundation to consider doing a new, updated professional quality video of his biography.
This documentary of Emmanuel Swedenborg should be shared with everyone. I have watched it many times, and recommend it to all my family. Truly Incredible !!!
nothing worse than trying to listen to a documentary.. with the friggen music drowning it right out.. for the love of god... why do people Have to have background noise!!.. sorry can't watch it.. too irritating..
🤔Tell me by what POWER Yeshua(Jesus) raised LAZARUS from the DEAD, The Old Widow only Son, and the Daughter of Ruler of the Pharisees. both back to LIFE. ELIJAH pray to the LORD to revive the child. 1st Kings 17:20-23. Elisha pray to the LORD to revive the child. 2nd Kings 4:32-35. JESUS(Yeshua Hamashiach) said to dead LAZARUS in the tomb: " Lazarus come out" John 11:39-44. JESUS said to the Old Widow dead Son, "Young man, I say unto you, Arise". Luke 7:12-15. JESUS said to the Ruler of the pharisees dead Daughter. "Maid, Arise". Luke 8:49-55. ELIJAH(John Baptist) came preaching "REPENT: the kingdom of Heaven is at hand". Matthew 3:2/Mal 3:1/4:5 YESHUA(Jesus) came preaching "REPENT: the kingdom of Heaven is at hand," Matthew 4:17/Mal 3:1 REPENT of your sin, and call upon the LORD(YHWH) and BELIEVE JESUS his Messiah that he SENT and gospels. Acts 2:38/John 3:16/Isaiah 53. JESUS CHRIST, the Son of David. 1st Chronicles 17:12-14. The Son of Abraham. Genesis 17:1-8. The Son of GOD. Proverbs 30:4/Matthew 1:1. The LORD(YHWH) bless you and save your Soul. Ezq18:4,21-23,27.
It is especially interesting that Emanuel Swedenborg made engineering contributions with mining inventions and flying, studied iron and copper and wrote about these things. He discovered the function of the endocrine glands, among other things.
THE BACKGROUND "MUSIC" RUINED THE VIDEO. I COULDN'T HEAR THE TEXT WELL ENOUGH TO GET THE MEANING. APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T HEAR OR SEE THE TWO COMMENTS FROM A YEAR AGO..
Hello Nick! Sorry about the music, this is an older video that we made available online, and unfortunately we don't have the power to edit the music to make it quieter. Have you tried turning on subtitles / captions on RU-vid during the parts you had trouble hearing? Thanks for watching!
Why do we keep needing them when they've pretty much let us know our interior hunches are right: "Love everybody, tell the truth, feed people." Neem Karoli Baba 🙋🙏📿🕉️💜
The audio in this video stops at 1:28. Tried it on both iPad & TV (Verizon w/Roku). Please fix it. I'm sure a lot more people in addition to me would benefit. Thanks!
He was obviously an extremely intelligent man, possibly surpassing even Da Vinci. But what many fail to consider is that genius and honesty are not strongly correlated. A brilliant mind may more easily deceive others, including themselves. Having said that, I must admit that this is an interesting video of fascinating man, and much of what he espoused is definitely true. But it's always a mistake to trust anyone more than the Most High...the Great Spirit in Whose presence we all live, who confirms one way or the other what we may learn from each other.
Sorry about that, Chaz. This is quite an old video. Our newer videos do a better job of balancing the audio with the video. Check out our recent videos on our Off The Left Eye channel: www.youtube.com/@offTheLeftEye
The Body of Christ is the Salt of the earth, if it were not for the Mystical Church, each precious stone, built into and through our Savior Jesus Christ, Himself being the Chief Corner Stone; this world would have been destroyed long ago.. If only the wicked would understand this mystery, they would be grateful there are Saints in the world, because of them, they also receive all natural blessings, that every true sanctified Saint of God the Father pours on His children, Because of His Body, His Church, all creation is blessed, the righteous and the wicked, God's blessings fall on all His Creation, everything was created by God, and ...He is building His Church, with precious living stones from every Tribe, Nation and Tongue... The Saints on earth, are the Body of Christ, His little Anointed children.. 😇 🕊🙏 📖 ✝️ 📖 🙏 🕊 😇
Yes, he was brilliant, but after Swedenborg, in the 1800s, the world started to have dependable information from the life after this life through the Spiritism, through Alan Kardec's Spirits Doctrine. Spirits Doctrine goes beyond Swedenborg' s Spiritual experiences, so The Spirits Doctrine is the answer. However, I have to say that I really look up to Emanuel S. He was brilliant 👏 he was ahead . I can also say that he could've been the first Spirits due to his mediumship and other spiritual faculties. He really met all the standards for being a good Spirits: good moral character, spiritual connection, God in his heart, and science in his brain.
Listen Bible said: I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom: For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables. (World English Bible, 2 Timothy 4:1,3-4)

Ugh!!! NOT HAPPY… This is VERY interesting subject matter However im not able to listen to it on my headphones 😢 the BACKGROUND MUSIC IS WAYYYY TOO LOUD and distracting. Shutting it off. I really wanted to listen to this
I'm sorry about that, Rhonda. This video was made a long time ago, and we're unable to change it. But we have many other resources for biographical info about Emanuel Swedenborg. Check out our website at www.swedenborg.com
Emanuel Swedenborg wrote that the Lord Jesus Christs is the one God of heaven and earth, and that the Bible is holy and true. Do you disagree with that? I'm wondering what "truth of God" you are referring to.
I question whether psychic awareness might be different from spiritual awareness of the afterlife, thinking psychic awareness may be "expanded knowing" of the physical world (like the Stockholm fire ES spoke of here) where spiritual knowing may be beyond the physical. I'm thinking there may be two separate paths of knowing, one not related to the other. I have experienced "expanded physical awarenesses" since childhood but wonder if they are connected to my spiritual knowings....don't know...
I hear you, Jeff, and I'm sorry about that. This video was made many years ago, and we can't change it now, but we are aware of keeping the volume of the background music down in our more recent videos (which you can find on our Off The Left Eye channel).
Can humans become angels? I been told angels never been in earth in the form of a human and they are different than spirit guides that lived on earth like other humans and crossed over
Yes, humans can become angels! Over many years of direct spiritual experiences, Emanuel Swedenborg learned that all angels used to be humans who lived in the physical world. Here are a couple of videos about that: "Are Angels Real?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1pd_B16aBs0.html "Swedenborg and Life Live: Angels and Demons" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Ter3mwIGow.html&t
Ydonkov If you go to the other Swedenborg Foundation RU-vid channel called offTheLeftEye, they have a video called 'How to tell the difference between good spirits and bad spirits'. That channel has made over 400 videos on Swedenborg. Also, if you pose your question there, they are more likely to answer it. Hope this helps.
To discern spirits is not some elevated gift only given to those enlightened: If one gives more than a cursory look at Swedenborg's work, it should be obvious that he communed via his own need to know God and an apparent desire on the part of higher beings - angels who are God's messengers - for him to take info back to us earthlings. ☺️ His work is unsurpassed in terms of devoted study and "reporting back" with his cosmic, spiritual travels. Plus, please notice that he didn't try to change the Bible but added greater depth to it's text. (Yet the "new age" label can probably be pasted on anything that's not in the King James Bible.)
Jesus didn't declare any other salvation besides his death and resurrection. but this video tells other religions and their gods. this is not pure Christian religion and the truth of the bible. be aware of love and truth are used in the wrong place. I believe Jesus and heaven are beautiful. I believe spiritual world. but when you add something to truth, it's not pure truth.
@@antoniodg2673 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!” (World English Bible, Acts 4:12)
In Acts 9:34 Peter says to Eneas, Jesus Christ maketh the whole: arise and Make thy Bed. And he arose immediately. My question is what does it mean to "Make thy bed". I read where bed means doctrine but I don't get the connection of making a bed and doctrine?? Can anyone help? I really am trying to read between the lines.
