In 1744, Emanuel Swedenborg — one of the most accomplished scientists in European history — began receiving detailed transmissions from what he described as beings beyond physical reality. He documented them for twenty-seven years with the same precision he had applied to engineering and anatomy. Three centuries later, J.B. Priestley collected thousands of letters from BBC viewers reporting precognitive dreams — people who had seen future events in exact detail before they happened. The evidence was so overwhelming that Priestley called it the most important data he had ever encountered. And it has only grown since.     In this episode I lay out the full case — historical, scientific, and practical — that you can communicate with your future self. This is happening to you already. The knowing that arrives fully formed. The decision that defied logic but turned out to be exactly right. The warning you felt in your gut. The creative idea that came in a flash so far beyond your normal thinking that it surprised even you. According to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, your future self is real, they exist right now in a parallel branch of reality, and they have been trying to reach you. The pull you feel toward certain directions, certain people, certain creative expressions — those are messages. This episode explains the science behind why it works and gives you a technique you can use tonight.

This episode of the podcast is going to explore an intersection of psychotherapy and spirituality. Specifically, we are going to be exploring the intersection between Internal Family Systems, spiritual healing, and the work of 16c Christian philosopher and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg. Our guests are Bob Falconer, Chelsea Odhner, and Jonathan Rose. What You'll Learn About:

▶️ Connect with Richard on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardatherton-firsthuman/ What to make of a man who designed Sweden's mining infrastructure, mapped the human brain, and then spent the last 30 years of his life in daily conversation with the dead? Could Emanuel Swedenborg be the greatest 18th century thinker you've never heard of?   In this episode of Being Human, Richard Atherton is joined by Curtis Childs, producer and director of Off the Left Eye, a YouTube channel approaching 2,000 videos on the life and teachings of Swedenborg.   After spending 30 years as one of Sweden's greatest scientists, inventors and anatomists, at 53 he started having what we would now call near-death experiences, except he appeared to be able to slip in and out of these states with ease. He documented these across 30 volumes, work that would go on to influence Carl Jung, and quite possibly the 12-step programme.   Curtis came to Swedenborg not as a scholar but as someone in crisis, searching for a model of consciousness that made sense of the chaos inside his own mind. This conversation explores what that model offers people navigating mental health challenges and interior growth, and those seeking potential answers to what lies beyond.   We discuss: How Swedenborg eased Curtis' depression How the Enlightenment and Christianity can threaten spiritual growth The real meaning of Heaven and Hell Sorting things out in the After Life The Self as Selector   Links: Off the Left Eye Curtis' Website

This week Scott, solo, discusses the religious movement known as Christian Science, founded by Mary Baker Eddy in Massachusetts in the late 19th century as American Protestantism found itself in an identity crisis. Incorporating concepts from her heritage as a Congregationalist and incorporating aspects of Transcendentalism, Gnosticism, Swedenborg and the burgeoning "Mind-Cure" movement, her "discovery" of Christian Science endures to this day.Don't forget to join our Telegram channel at T.me/historyhomos and to join our group chat at T.me/historyhomoschatFor programming updates and news follow us across social media @historyhomospod and follow Scott @Scottlizardabrams and Patrick @cantgetfooledagainradio OR subscribe to our telegram channel t.me/historyhomosThe video version of the show is available on Substack, Rokfin, bitchute, odysee and RumbleFor weekly premium episodes or to contribute to the show subscribe to our channel at www.historyhomospod.substack.comYou can donate to the show directly at paypal.me/historyhomosTo order a History Homos T shirt (and recieve a free sticker) please send your shirt size and address to Historyhomos@gmail.com and please address all questions, comments and concerns there as well.Later homos

Stāsta komponists un kontrabasists Kristaps Pētersons; pārraides producente – Rūta Paula Valmierā 1996. gada 7. janvārī, plkst. 19:00 "uz papīra" tanī pat laikā notiekošais "Foo Fighters" [1] koncerts Frīmentlā Austrālijā īstenībā bija beidzies jau vismaz trīs stundas un tur – Frīmentlā – jau bija 8. janvāris. Laiks arī bija visai auksts – Latvijas Vides ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centra Priekuļu stacija ziņo par aptuveni -5° grādu salu, par Frīmentlu nezinu. Tādēļ Andris Veismanis, iespējams, atceras savu interpretāciju Volfganga Amadeja Mocarta [2] stīgu Serenādei Nr. 13 "Mazā naktsmūzika" Solmažorā, K. 525 īstenotu ar Vidzemes kamerorķestra stīgām tovakar, Raiņa ielā 3, Valmieras 5. vidusskolas Lielajā zālē. Katra no melodijām bija īpašā godā. Raugoties pagātnē, gribas secināt, ka šī interpretācija būs bijusi viens no neredzamajiem Andra Veismaņa karjeras virzītājspēkiem. Šo izcilo meistardarbu meistars tika atskaņojis arī iepriekšējā – IV Senās Mūzikas festivālā Valmierā 6. janvārī, plkst. 18:30 turpat ar to pašu orķestri, un togad Priekuļos esot bijis pat -7° grādu sals. Tomēr tādu radošu veiksmi mierīgi var atkārtot, un šoreiz šim darbam turklāt bija atrasts konģeniāls turpinājums. "Foo Fighters" 1995. gada 6. janvārī vēl pirmo koncertu nebija nospēlējuši. Bet par to nedaudz vēlāk. Divas ar "Mazo nakts mūziku" saistītas raksturīgas detaļas aprakstījis Orins Hovards [3] Losandželosas filharmoniķu mājaslapā anotējot kādu citu – ne "Foo Fighters" – koncertu [4]. Pirmā: "18. gs. otrajā pusē serenāde tipiski tika rakstīta pietiekami mazam ansamblim (bieži pūtēju ansamblim), lai būtu ērti izpildāma ārpus telpām, un atšķirībā no simfonijas tajā parasti bija vairāk nekā četras daļas." Otrā: "Savu darbu katalogā "Mazo nakts mūziku" Mocarts iegrāmato kā piecdaļīgu. Diemžēl saglabājušās tikai četras daļas. Pirmā – menuets – aizgājusi zudībā." [5] Maestro Veismanis noteikti zina nesalīdzināmi vairāk ar šo skaņdarbu saistītu detaļu. Tomēr galvenais – viņš ir īsts interprets ar daudzkārt apliecinātu vēlmi skrupulozi iedziļināties senpagājušu laikmetu autoru darbos. Andrim Veismanim šie darbi interesē. Tajos viņš jūtas kā mājās. Domāju, ka diriģentu sajūsmina iespēja tur atrasto no sirds triekt esošajam laikmetam sirdī kā Amoram bultu. Vēlu meistaram turpināt triekt bultas laikmetam sirdī vēl un vēl! Bet tovakar Valmierā pēc Mocarta "Mazās naktsmūzikas" Andris Veismanis ar pārējiem mūziķiem sasniedza vēl otru virsotni. Sekoja triumfāla interpretācija slavenākajai no Antonio Vivaldi trim "Gloria" – Re mažorā, RV 589. Uzreiz jāmin Cēsu Pils kora devums šī venēciešu dižgara šedevra iedzīvināšanā. Pateicoties lieliski sagatavotajam korim, Veismaņa žests absolūtā pazemībā Dieva vārda priekšā varēja izteikt vārdos neizsakāmo. No sirds. Taisnība ir Emanuēla Svēdenborga [6] atziņā, ka tā Kunga žēlsirdība ir universāla un Viņš nevienu ellē negrūž – dvēsele pati vai nu turp tiecas, vai pie tā Kunga uz debesīm. "Kad cilvēkā – garā – labais ir saistīts ar patieso, tad viņš nāk debesī, tāpēc ka šis saistījums, kā teikts, ir debess viņā; bet kad cilvēkā – garā – ļaunais ir saistīts ar nepatieso, tad viņš nāk ellē, tāpēc ka šis saistījums ir elle viņā." [7] Bet "Foo Fighters" savu pirmo koncertu nospēlēja Sietlā, Mercera ielā, "West Marine" laivošanas piederumu veikala 2. stāvā, 1995. gada 19. februārī. Lūgtiem viesiem. Viņi nospēlēja 12 dziesmas – "Big Me" arī. Laiks tovakar Sietlā bija 55°F (ap 13°C) – nekas neparasts. Lija lietus, un veidojās migla. Komponiste un tobrīd Valmieras Mūzikas skolas skolotāja Līga Liepiņa (tolaik Kaņepe) laikrakstā "Liesma" vēstīja: "Sala spēcīgais kniebiens un bagātīgais sniega birums jaunā gada sākumā – tas bija diezgan negaidīti, bet V Senās mūzikas festivāls Valmierā no 3. līdz 7. janvārim – ļoti gaidīts. [..] Par spilgtāko sniegumu klausītāju lielākā daļa atzina Vidzemes kamerorķestri ar V. A. Mocarta "Mazo naktsmūziku" un A. Vivaldi "Gloria", kur diriģenta Andra Veismaņa (Rīga) vadībā orķestris apvienojās ar Cēsu Pils kori, kuram šī sadarbība bija visveiksmīgākā." [8] Man ir patiesi žēl, ka es tos koncertus nedzirdēju. Esmu drošs, ka varu parakstīties zem katra šeit rakstītā vārda. "Was aus Liebe getan wird, geschieht immer jenseits von Gut und Böse."

Breaking Free from Your Inner Pharaoh There are things in your mind that want to keep you trapped. Come learn God's plan to break you out of there! When I speak about “breaking free from Pharaoh,” I'm talking about the inner rulers that corner us with worry, shame, distraction, or that relentless inner critic that never seems satisfied. Scripture shows this pattern again and again, and Swedenborg opens it with such tenderness, reminding us that God bends every moment toward freedom and joy. Somewhere inside each one of us is a Moses moment where something holy catches fire and asks us to turn aside. I feel it when I see people realize that their spiritual captivity is real yet temporary, because God is already moving the waters that once looked impossible to cross. The journey takes time. It winds, it wrestles, it surprises, but it always carries the promise that the Lord leads us toward a land flowing with real happiness, the kind that grows from love, usefulness, and trust in His steady providence. with Curtis Childs 11/30/25 If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to Subscribe and review our podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Arcana Coelestia 1871. I cannot describe how the Lord’s Word appears before angels, but it can be grasped to some extent by people who have seen optical cylinders in museums. These cylinders reflect beautiful images from distorted drawings projected in a circle around them. Although the surrounding drawing appears to have no shape, organization, or pattern but to be simply a confused projection, it presents a lovely picture when focused onto the cylinder. 1 That is how the Lord’s Word is, especially the prophetic part of the Old Testament. Hardly anything can be seen in the literal meaning besides a disorganized jumble; but when it is read by a person on earth (particularly a little boy or girl), it gradually rises up, turning more beautiful and more pleasing as it goes. In the end it presents itself to the Lord as a human figure representing the whole of heaven — not as heaven actually is but as the Lord wishes it to be; in other words, as his likeness. 1. Although one scholar (Potts 1888-1902, under “cylinder”) understands this device to be a kaleidoscope, Swedenborg seems here to be referring to a device called an anamorphoscope, which produces an optical illusion called an anamorphosis. The cylinder is polished (as indicated in similar descriptions in New Jerusalem 260; White Horse 11:4; Spiritual Experiences [Swedenborg 1998-2002] §2164) and acts as a curved mirror; it is set next to a distorted drawing that is composed in such a way that the reflection of the drawing on the surface of the cylinder appears properly proportioned. For examples of anamorphoses from Swedenborg’s time and before, see Leeman and others 1976. (A reflecting cylinder may be seen in plate 53 there.) Further examples, though not of the same historical interest, can be found in McLoughlin Bros. 1979. [SS, LHC] AC 7847. Angelic ideas are of such a nature that natural things bear relation to such things as belong to man. The reason is that the spiritual world or heaven is in the form of a man, and all things of that world, that is, all spiritual things, which are truths and goods, bear relation to this form, as has been shown at the end of many chapters in treating of correspondences. And whereas in angelic ideas natural things become spiritual, so also does a house, which to the angels is the mind of man; the bedchambers and inner rooms being the interiors of the mind; and the windows, the doors, the posts, and the lintels, the exteriors of the mind, which introduce. As angelic ideas are of such a nature, they are also living; and so when the things in the natural world which are dead objects, pass into the spiritual world, they become living objects; for everything spiritual is living, because it proceeds from the Lord. On reciprocity Intercourse of the Soul and the Body 12. [4] Furthermore, unless the understanding could be separately perfected, and the will by means of it, a man would not be a man, but a beast. For without that separation, and without the ascent of the understanding above the will, he would not be able to think, and from thought to speak, but only to express his affection by sounds; neither would he be able to act from reason, but only from instinct; still less would he be able to know the things which are of God, and God by means of them, and thus to be conjoined to Him, and to live to eternity. For a man thinks and wills as from himself, and this as from himself is the reciprocal of conjunction; for there cannot be conjunction without a reciprocal, just as there cannot be conjunction of the active with the passive without reaction. God alone acts, and man suffers himself to be acted on, and he reacts in all appearance as from himself, though interiorly it is from God. Divine Love and Wisdom 49. With respect to God: it is impossible for Him to love others and to be loved reciprocally by others in whom there is anything of infinity, that is, anything of the essence and life of love in itself, or anything of the Divine. For if there were beings having in them anything of infinity, that is, of the essence and life of love in itself, that is, of the Divine, it would not be God loved by others, but God loving Himself; since the Infinite, that is, the Divine, is one only, and if this were in others, Itself would be in them, and would be the love of self Itself; and of that love not the least trace can possibly be in God, since it is wholly opposed to the Divine Essence. Consequently, for this relation to be possible there must be others in whom there is nothing of the Divine in itself.

*Note: this is the Free Content version of my interview with Bastiaan van Rijn. To hear the entire interview, please consider joining my Patreon and becoming a member; alternately, this episode can be purchased for a one-time fee. More information at www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion.My guest this month is Dr. Bastiaan van Rijn.Bastiaan is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. During his PhD, he has investigated how practitioners of different movements in the nineteenth century tried to scientifically prove life after death exists. The outcome of this project is the book Afterlife Research (forthcoming), as well as several open-access articles. Beside this, he is also interested in playful approaches to religion and divination in the contemporary West. His newest project centers on spiritual tourism.This interview takes us into the fascinating world of Mesmerism—also known as animal magnetism—and its enduring influence on the boundaries between science, mysticism, and spiritual inquiry. Bastiaan gives a brief bio of Franz Anton Mesmer, who in the late 18th century proposed that an invisible fluid flowed through all living beings, capable of healing and revealing hidden truths. Though controversial and dismissed by many, Mesmer's ideas sparked a lineage of thought that continues to shape contemporary conversations about consciousness, healing, and the legitimacy of scientific inquiry.We discuss how Mesmerism blended science and mysticism, influenced public perception, and laid the groundwork for practices ranging from hypnotism and New Thought to modern-day energetic healing. Bastiaan's own research picks up this thread, tracing how the experimental impulse to make the invisible visible evolved into afterlife studies, somnambulism, and psychical research.From there, we dive into Bastiaan's dissertation, which examines the emergence of a “scientific culture” in afterlife research—one grappling with empirical inaccessibility, unreliable intermediaries, and skeptical resistance. Through case studies of three spiritual animal magnetizers, Bastiaan uncovers how different strategies were used to stabilize claims and navigate the tension between belief and method.Ultimately, this conversation invites us to rethink what counts as scientific, Bastiaan invites us to consider not just what these researchers claimed to find, but how they tried to find it, as well as how experimental practices in esoteric and spiritual domains contribute to broader dialogues about religion, and the unseen dimensions of human experience.What emerges is a rich, transhistorical culture of inquiry—one that challenges our assumptions about science, religion, and the boundaries of legitimate knowledge.PROGRAM NOTESFind Bastiaan:Bastiaan Benjamin Van Rijn - University of FribourgBastiaan van Rijn | LinkedInInstagramResearchGate – all research[PhD Diss.] The Experimental Culture of Afterlife Research: Attempts by Spiritual Animal Magnetizers to Prove Life after Death | Request PDF(PDF) Chapter 9 Building a Typology for Intentional Transformative Experiences: Louis- Alphonse Cahagnet's Experiments with Magnetic Somnambulism and HashishBastiaan van Rijn (0000-0003-4247-9198) - ORCIDOther Resources:1784: The Marquis de Puységur and the psychological turn in the west - PubMedThe seeress of Prevorst; being revelations concerning the inner-life of man, and the inter-diffusion of a world of spirits in the one we inhabit : Kerner, Justinus Andreas Christian, 1786-1862 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveInvestigations of psychic/spiritual phenomena in the nineteenth century: somnambulism and spiritualism, 1811-1860A Republic of Mind and Spirit – Wonderful history of Metaphysics in the USA

Did Christianity lose Jesus' true message? Explore how faith without love turned Christ's living teaching of compassion into a doctrine of belief — and why it's time to return to the heaven within. The viral “church call test” spreads across social media, where a woman has phoned dozens of churches, asking for baby formula, only to be turned away again and again. This has revealed something bigger than one story: a glimpse into how modern Christianity may have lost touch with the love it preaches. This talk with Rev. Cory examines what this viral story says about church life today - how the teachings of Paul often overshadow Jesus' call to live the Divine Love within. From firsthand experience in ministry to Swedenborg's mystical insights, we explore why compassion, not dogma, is the true test of faith, whatever the religion. This is an invitation, not an attack, to re-center on what Jesus actually said about following him and entering Heaven: “Why say Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?” 

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, and theologian who, in his midlife, became a Christian mystic and visionary after a profound spiritual awakening. Unlike most mystics, however, Swedenborg did not follow the usual steps to mysticism and many of his visions are like nothing we have heard about before, making him a most unusual mystic.If you would like to order a copy of Dr. Carlos Eire's latest book, "They Flew: A History of the Impossible," you can order a copy HERE (Yale University Press) or HERE (Amazon).

Trying to recover from defeat in 1812, Napoleon had enormous obstacles to overcome.  But these were NOT obvious at the time, surprisingly to us, most of the great and the good expected Napoleon to win in 1813.Tsar Alexander had some very unusual motivations for a major head of state in the Europe of the time.  These motivations, including the mysticisms of the day, are still fascinating.  Swedenborg, Lavater, and Saint Martin all get a look. And then there was a man of almost equal priggishness, Kaerl Heinrich Vom Stein, whose remarkable career and how he ties together Napoleon, Alexander and Frederick William and the new nationalism and new artistic and intellectual movements beginning to arise is worth a deep dive.Stein urged the King of Prussia “Make use of the authority granted you by God to break the chains of your people.  May its blood no longer be spent on behalf of the enemy of humanity!”  But the king was more interested in getting a Bonapart bride for the Crown Prince.The crusade against Napoleon, developed int a crusade for Legitimacy, against Usurpation, but even this early, the Allies could not help using the language of the Revolution and the tools of Napoleon.

Progressive states, no one(state) is condemned until they know (it is seen for what it is) ... Arcana Coelestia 7795... By these “wonders being multiplied” are signified the successive degrees of their states. The reason why there are so many degrees is in order that the evil may be confirmed in the fact that they are in evil; and also that the good may be enlightened concerning the state of those within the church who have lived evilly (n. 7633). Except for these reasons, the evil might be condemned and let down into hell without so many successive changes of states. [2] That before the evil are condemned and let down into hell they undergo so many states is altogether unknown in the world. It is believed that man is at once either condemned or saved, and that this is effected without any process; but the case is otherwise. Justice reigns there, and no one is condemned until he himself knows, and is inwardly convinced, that he is in evil, and that it is utterly impossible for him to be in heaven. His own evils are also laid open to him, according to the words of the Lord in Luke: There is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; or hidden, that shall not be known. Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in the bed chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops (Luke 12:2-3; Matthew 10:26-27; Mark 4:22); and what is more, he is also warned to desist from evil; but when he cannot do this because of the dominion of evil, the power is then taken away from him of doing evil by falsifications of truth and pretenses of good, which is effected successively from one degree to another, and finally condemnation follows and the letting down into hell. This takes place when he comes into the evil of his life. [3] The evil of the life is evil of the will and of the thought thence derived; thus it is the man's inward quality and what would be his quality outwardly if he were not hindered by the laws, and likewise by fears of the loss of gain, of honor, of reputation, and of life. This is the life which follows every man after death, but not the outward life, except that which proceeds from the inward life; for in outward things a man pretends what is contrary; and therefore when a man after death is being vastated in respect to outward things, it then plainly appears what had been his quality both in will and in thought. To this state every evil person is reduced by means of degrees of vastation, for all vastation in the other life advances from outward to inward things. From all this it can be seen what is the nature of the justice in the other life, and what the nature of the process before an evil person is condemned. From this it is evident that by “My wonders being multiplied in the land of Egypt,” is signified that the evil may be confirmed in the fact that they have been in no faith, but in evil. Heaven and Hell 513 1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Shattering experiences do happen in the other life — that is, some people who arrive there from the world are shattered there: Arcana Coelestia 698, 7122, 7474, 9763. Upright people are shattered as regards false elements, and evil people as to true ones: 7474, 7541-7542. Shattering experiences happen to upright people so that they can shed the earthly and worldly preoccupations they acquired while they were living in the world: 7186, 9763; and so that evil and false things may be removed, providing room for the inflow of good and true things out of heaven from the Lord, and providing the ability to accept them: 7122, 9331 [9330?]. We cannot be raised into heaven before things like this are removed because they get in the way and do not agree with heavenly values: 6928, 7122, 7136 [7186?], 7541-7542, 9763. This is how people who are to be raised into heaven are prepared: 4728, 7090. It is dangerous for people to enter heaven before they have been prepared: 537-538.

And Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month is to you the head of the months; this is the first to you in the months of the year. Speak ye unto all the assemblage of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they shall take to them everyone a lamb* for the house of his fathers, a lamb for the house; and if the house is too little for a lamb, then let him take he and his neighbor near unto his house in the number of the souls; everyone for the mouth of his eating shall ye count for the lamb. A lamb unblemished, a male, a son of a year shall be for you; ye shall take it from the lambs and from the she-goats;** and it shall be for you to be kept even unto the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assemblage of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.  Exodus 12: 1-6 * The word “lamb” here (Latin pecud-, Hebrew seh) must be understood to mean the young of both sheep and goats, as defined in verse 5, and also by Swedenborg himself in n. 8020. Thus it is either a lamb or a kid. We have no word in English that will precisely render either the Hebrew term or the Latin one. In verse however, the word “lambs,” near the end of the verse, is agnus in the Latin, and keves in the Hebrew, and thus is correctly rendered “lambs.” [Reviser].** Latin capra, Hebrew ez, a “she-goat,” the mother being taken for her little one. Both “kids” and “she-goats” signify “the innocence of the external or natural man, thus the truth and the good of innocence” (Arcana Coelestia n. 3518, subdivisions 3 and 4). [Reviser.] Arcana Coelestia 7814. Man has been so created that he can look upward, or above himself; and can also look downward, or below himself. To look above himself is to look to his neighbor, to his country, to the church, to heaven, especially to the Lord; but to look below himself is to look to the earth, to the world, and especially to himself. AC 7816. To look above oneself is to be uplifted by the Lord; for no one can look above himself, unless he is uplifted by Him who is above. But to look below himself is of man, because then he does not suffer himself to be uplifted. AC7822 THE CONTENTS. The subject treated of in this chapter in the internal sense is the liberation of those who are of the spiritual church, and the damnation of those who are in faith separate from Charity. The damnation of these latter and the liberation of the former are represented by the passover, and the states in respect to charity and faith of those who are liberated, by the things to be observed on the days of the passover. AC 7823 In the supreme sense by the passover is represented the damnation of the unfaithful and the liberation of the faithful by the Lord, when He had been glorified. The quality of the state of the faithful at that time, and also what its quality would be afterward, both in the universal and in every particular, is described in this supreme sense by the statutes of the passover. Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.

Scott goes solo this week to unpack Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century Swedish scientist-turned-mystic who claimed open communion with angels and spirits. Once a respected engineer and inventor, Swedenborg renounced worldly study after a series of waking visions that led him to map the afterlife in Heaven and Hell.

On this week's episode, I welcome Bob Falconer, Chelsea Odhner, and Jonathan Rose, the co-authors of the new book, Opening the Inner World. We dive into what it means to be both spiritual and plural. If you've ever found yourself wondering how inner work and spiritual seeking overlap, this episode is for you. We explore: What happens when we bring the language of parts into our spiritual lives? Can the concept of "Self Energy" connect with notions of divine presence? How does the idea of God resonate differently for various people and their inner parts? How can IFS be a deeply spiritual path without becoming dogmatic? What do we do when belief itself feels like a burden or triggers our inner system? Favorite Quotes: “When people bring in a spiritual experience or a spiritual concept, I don't want to assume that I know what that means for them.” —Bob Falconer “Sometimes in spiritual direction, a part is the one that's praying. And that prayer needs to be honored and held and heard.” —Chelsea Odhner Find their book here: Opening the Inner World  Episode Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Pisgah Coaching Institute.

What if our inner parts weren't just fragments of the psyche—but vessels designed to receive divine love? My guests today are Chelsea Odhner, Robert Falconer, and Jonathan S. Rose—co-authors of the new book Opening the Inner World: Spiritual Healing, Internal Family Systems, and Emanuel Swedenborg. Together, we explore the playful spirit that brought this project to life and the profound insights that emerged at the intersection of IFS therapy and Swedenborgian spirituality. We discuss Swedenborg's life and legacy, the idea of spiritual awakening as universally accessible, and how our parts—when burdened—can block access to divine inflow. The authors share how Swedenborg's theology aligns with the IFS model, especially around the belief that healing comes from within, through dialogue, compassion, and connection to something greater. This episode is a heartfelt, curious, and spiritually charged invitation to see your inner world not as a problem to fix—but as a sacred system ready to be witnessed, healed, and loved. __________________________ Topics We Explore: ✨ The joy and creativity behind writing Opening the Inner World

This week's episode is nothing short of extraordinary. I am honored to welcome back IFS master Bob Falconer, and to be joined for the first time by Chelsea Rose Odhner and Dr. Jonathan S. Rose, two deeply insightful scholars and practitioners of Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual teachings. Together, we explore the sacred intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and The Spirituality of Swedenborg. We all entered into conversation that transcended time, space, and discussed ways to go beyond the boundaries and limits of IFS and the conventional boundaries of healing.

In this deep dive episode, we explore the fascinating world of dreams—from psychic and prophetic dreams to lucid dreaming, astral travel, and visitation dreams.

Curtis is joined by the founders of Golden Thread Labyrinths to discuss stages of spiritual growth according to Swedenborg, the universal “hero's journey”, and the structure of a labyrinth. Check out Golden Thread Labyrinths here: https://bio.link/goldenthread

As disclosures about UFO sightings are on the rise, we'll look at a shocking claim by Swedenborg back in the 1700s – that he spoke with spirits who had lived on planets in our solar system.

Intrusive thoughts are a miserable part of life. Swedenborg was able to see the negative spirits that mess with our minds, and learn how we can build protection against them.

People have differing ideas about what heaven is like. Curtis and Rev. Chuck Blair look at stories Swedenborg told about how false ideas about heaven can be set right in the afterlife.

Many people anticipate a “Judgment Day” that will happen here on earth. Swedenborg learned that a spiritual judgment can't take place in the physical world. It has to happen in the afterlife.

Swedenborg was permitted to experience what the dying process is like. Learn what he experienced with angels who assist every person during the transition to the afterlife.

We are excited to share a new podcast offering: the Latin Playground! Alongside translator Jonathan Rose, we delve into the nature of language, the nuances of Neo-Latin, and the spiritual experiences of the scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg. Search the Latin Playground wherever you listen to podcasts to learn with us as we explore the inextricable link between spiritual revelation and grammar. New episodes coming in January, 2025! 

Swedenborg had a vision of a temple in heaven. An inscription over the door said: “Now It Is Allowed.” The time had come for mysteries to be revealed, about the afterlife and the deeper meanings in Scripture.

Do we have to earn God's forgiveness? How does divine forgiveness work?

Gary Lachman, renowned writer and historian of Western esoteric tradition, shares his insights and experiences in his new book, Maurice Nicoll: Forgotten Teacher of the Fourth Way. This book delves into the life and teachings of Maurice Nicoll, a relatively obscure yet fascinating figure who bridged the ideas of Carl Jung, G.I. Gurdjieff, and Immanuel Swedenborg. Gary elaborates on the principles of the Fourth Way, developed by Gurdjieff, which integrates methods from various spiritual traditions to cultivate a higher state of consciousness in everyday life. Exploring Nicoll's contributions, Gary discusses the implications of his extensive dream diaries and his unique approach to sacred sexuality. He highlights how Nicoll's early work with Jung and later fascination with Swedenborg influenced his spiritual development and teachings, enriching his interpretation of esoteric Christianity. The conversation reflects on the relevance of Nicoll's teachings in today's world, considering the contemporary spiritual landscape and the ongoing quest for personal development and higher consciousness. Gary also shares his personal experiences and anecdotes from his involvement in the Gurdjieff Foundation, offering listeners a firsthand account of the practical application of the Fourth Way principles. He explores the controversial and lesser-known aspects of Nicoll's work, including his radical insights that have made a significant impact on his followers and the spiritual community. In a stimulating conversation, Gary and Jason bridge historical esoteric practices with modern spiritual exploration, offering a profound understanding of Maurice Nicoll's contributions to the Fourth Way and beyond. They discuss the importance of self-remembering and the harmonious development of man, highlighting the enduring significance of Nicoll's teachings in the pursuit of higher consciousness.
