God’s Divine And Human Nature | NCE Spotlight

August 28, 2022 07:00 - 16 minutes - 15.1 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 2798:2 It is also known that he was born to the Virgin Mary, but this was a birth like that of any other person. When he was born again—in other words, was made divine—it was from Jehovah, who was in him and who was the very essence of his life. The uniting of his divine and human natures was a mutual, reciprocal process, so that he united his divine nature with his human nature and his human nature with his divine.  2894 M...

Religious Doctrine, The Goodness of Faith, And Freedom | NCE Spotlight

August 21, 2022 07:00 - 14 minutes - 13 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 2799:5 In Hosea: I will strike a pact with them on that day—with the wild animal of the field, and with the bird in the heavens and the creeping animal of the ground. And bow and sword and war I will break off from the earth, and I will make them lie down securely. (Hosea 2:18) This is about the Lord’s kingdom. Breaking bow, sword, and war means that no one there fights over doctrine or truth. 3242:1 Here is how matters sta...

Neighborly Love, Faith, And What The Philistines Represent | NCE Spotlight

August 14, 2022 07:00 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3324:4 People who have no love for others cannot acknowledge the Lord, so they cannot acknowledge religious truth. If they claim to believe, they are being either superficial or hypocritical (2354). There is absolutely no faith without neighborly love (654, 1162, 1176, 2417). 3325:3 In the church, though, there are more people who are not regenerating than who are, and people who are not regenerating draw conclusions on the...

Infancy, Old Age, And How To Unite Goodness and Truth | NCE Spotlight

August 07, 2022 07:00 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3304:2 Goodness but not truth is born into humans, with the result that babies lack any knowledge of truth. Truth has to be learned and then united with goodness. 3321:3 As a consequence of these facts and others, our earthly self accepts truth much later and with much more difficulty than our rational self does. The result is combat, which lasts quite a long time and does not end until the vessels in our earthly self for r...

Truth And The Rational Level Of Our Minds | NCE Spotlight

July 31, 2022 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3368:3 Let me explain the secret behind the command not to go down into Egypt but to stay as an immigrant in the land of Gerar—that is, not to focus on facts but on rational thinking: All appearances of truth containing something divine belong to the rational level—so much so that rational ideas are the same as appearances of truth. Facts, though, belong to the earthly level—so much so that earthly ideas are the same as factu...

How Mercy, Charity, And Truth Are Connected To Divine Love | NCE Spotlight

July 24, 2022 07:00 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3122:1 More about this truth that means charity: The very earliest people, who were heavenly, understood the mercy and truth worked by the Lord in them to be simply an acceptance of the love for the Lord and the resulting charity toward others that flow into a person. The ancients, who were spiritual, understood the mercy and truth worked by the Lord in them to be charity and faith. The reason for the discrepancy is that heav...

July 10, 2022 07:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3350:2 Then I heard numerous choirs putting forth various representations, and even though there were many choirs and many in each choir, they acted as one. The forms of the various contributions combined into a single whole filled with heavenly beauty. The same effect can be produced by the entirety of heaven, populated as it is by millions and millions, who act in unison because they love each other, since as a result they...

Spiritual Representation And The Source Of Angelic Power | NCE Spotlight

July 03, 2022 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3215 The representative objects that present themselves to spirits come in unbelievable variety, but most of them resemble objects that exist on the earth in its three kingdoms.  3214 Scenes representing what is spiritual and heavenly sometimes occur in a long series, lasting an hour or two, one after another, in an order that is astounding. There are certain communities in which this happens, and I was allowed to stay in t...

How God Is Present In Our Process Of Rebirth | NCE Spotlight

June 26, 2022 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 2960:2 Ephron said, “The field I give you; and the cave that is in it—to you I give it” (verse 11). These words meant that they wanted to prepare themselves on their own, so far as the requirements of religion and faith went, or in other words, to reform themselves. This is what the first stage is like for people who are reforming (see §2946). When they learn more truth, or more about the faith, however, they reach a second s...

How To See The Deeper Divinity of the Bible | NCE Spotlight

June 19, 2022 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.9 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3474:1 A spirit came to me not long after he had left his body. (This I could tell from the fact that he did not yet realize he was in the other life but believed he was still living in the world.) I sensed that he had devoted his time to intellectual pursuits, which I discussed with him, but then to my amazement he suddenly soared into the air. I decided he was the type of person whose ambitions had been lofty (since people ...

The Inner And Outer Levels of the Bible And Our Minds | NCE Spotlight

June 12, 2022 07:00 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3228 The themes of the current chapter are: the sons Abraham had by Keturah; Ishmael’s sons, by name; the birth of Esau and Jacob to Isaac and Rebekah; and the birthright Esau sold to Jacob for lentil soup. Anyone can see that material like this is useful as a religious history of the era but provides little for a person’s spiritual life—and yet it is our spiritual life that the Word exists for. 3438:2 I must say a few wor...

Imagery, Harmony, and the Source of Beauty | NCE Spotlight

June 05, 2022 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3310:4 Only through concepts formed from facts and sense impressions can we corroborate doctrinal truth. Absolutely everything we think about—even the deepest mystery of faith—comes with some earthly, sense-based image, even though we usually have no idea of the true character of that image. In the other life, if we wish, it can be displayed for our minds or even (if we so desire) for our eyes to see. In the other world, such...

Rebirth, Spiritual Development, and the Lord’s Glorification | NCE Spotlight

May 29, 2022 07:00 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3200  These two verses depict the condition of goodness on the rational plane when it is waiting for the truth that is to unite with it as a bride with her husband. The next two depict the condition of truth when it comes close and perceives the goodness with which it is to unite. It is important to know, however, that these stages did not arrive just once but constantly throughout the Lord’s life in the world, up until he w...

Spiritual Burial, Symbols, and Opening Ourselves to God | NCE Spotlight

May 22, 2022 16:02 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3318:2   A few words are needed to show how matters stand here, specifically how they stand with human beings. A human being is nothing else but an organ or vessel that receives life from the Lord; we do not live on our own. . . . The life that flows into us from the Lord comes from his divine love. This love, or the life that radiates from it, flows in and bestows itself on the vessels in our rational and earthly minds. Such...

Goodwill, Spiritual Trial, and Shedding the Outer Dimension | NCE Spotlight

May 15, 2022 07:00 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3463:4   Anyone can see how the case stands . . . simply from this general rule concerning neighborly love: “Everything whatever that you want people to do for you, you do likewise for them” (Matthew 7:12). People who do this by command do good to others but only because it has been ordered, not because their heart seeks it. Whenever they do, they start with themselves, and in doing good they are thinking of their own merit. ...

The Three Levels of Heaven and Their Angels | NCE Spotlight

May 08, 2022 07:00 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3475  There are three heavens. In the first heaven, they see the superficial appearance of an object and perceive what it means on an inner plane. In the second heaven, they see the object as it is in its inner form and perceive what it is like on a still deeper plane. In the third heaven, they see that still deeper form, which is the inmost. 3475 cont’d Each and every representation involves attributes of the Lord’s kingdo...

Eight or nine years ago Sheila Robinson-Kiss happened upon a video of Off The Left Eye and her life was profoundly changed.

Sheila Robinson-Kiss, MSW, LCSW, is the founder of Rebalancing America and Beyond (RAB) which provid...

Angel Communication Through Ancient Languages | NCE Spotlight

April 24, 2022 07:00 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven: 3482  Although the language of Scripture seems to us so plainspoken and sometimes unpolished, it is the angelic language itself in its outermost form. When angelic language, which is spiritual, descends into human words, this is the only kind of diction in which it can express itself, because all of its content represents something, and every word symbolizes something. The ancients had no other language, interacting as they d...
