Eternal progression is another core doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
What he had to say about reincarnation was interesting to me. The Church of Jesus Christ is mostly silent on the subject. The doctrines seem to imply that we get one shot at life in this realm, and that a lot of progression occurred before we got here (might be termed "previous lives") and there will obviously be more after we leave; though, as Curtis states, it won't be here on this planet in this form.
One of the reasons I 'do' actually believe we reincarnate, is the fact that some people are born into much simpler lives than others. Some people are born on the wrong side of the tracks or with illness, everything seems like it is going against them, while others have great parents, opportunities, health and abundance. Not saying everyone lives a good life who is born into ease, but lets be honest, you are more likely to. I think for true spiritual growth you have to experience 'everything'.
Swedenborg is also the fellow who said there's life on the moon. Yep, very believable.
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1Pe 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.1Jo 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.1Jo 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.1Jo 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Jhn 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Holy Bible.
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Most amazing description of heaven and hell I have ever heard. It brings into a modern understanding the writing of the apostle Paul for example. It testifies to the restoring love of the most high for all the creation. Great channel. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Reincarnation is a deep subject. According to Vedanta as an individual self we reincarnate but as the Universal Self not only do we not reincarnate but our lives on this Earth are non-existent, but a dream. For all practical purposes we reincarnate. Perhaps Swedenborg was trying to stay within the limitations of his Christian tradition. That has happened with other Christian mystics who deny reincarnation. In reconciling those religions who adhere to reincarnation with those religions who adhere to the one birth doctrine, Meher Baba said that the one birth is your creation as a soul that goes through many bodies until God Realization is attained.
Awesome to have Swedenborg ideas presented! Thank you for your openness to explore possibilities. Speaking of spreading love to the human race, I am launching my practice as a spiritual director, and would love to work with people who are interested in NDEs and experiential faith. https://youtu.be/vkgLTJ4HqPY
My new understandings of what many call 'God' – resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE…
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence – the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future – right down to the minutest particles of dust – each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter – I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects – including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars – none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down – Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists – including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them – our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant – our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma – and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory – whenever we experience or express our emotions – or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law – Renge – Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho – these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination – Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge – or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter – as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication – perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us – all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux – constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ – the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation – rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge – and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu – which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives – as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives – even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances – turn them into positive ones – or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are – regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect – the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self – this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things – such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally – rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within – including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time – to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
My autobiography explaining how I, and others I've told, have used this chant to change our poisons into medicine titled: 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within', is now available at Amazon Books for 99cents (the lowest Amazon allowed me to price it)

Here's one theory about reincarnation
You only live one life on Earth and it's your primary teaching one. In Heaven you can experience other spirits lifetimes on Earth as if it were your own without reincarnation. Other spirits already lived the lives for you and they become your teachers. Their memories become your memories and it's as if you lived their life back on Earth. This explains why some children are born with past life memories, they think it's theirs but it's a shared memory.
Think about it. Each spirit lives one life for the collective to add to the book of life and each life teaches different lessons. If you need to work on something for your soul growth you go the book of life and experience a lived life as if it were your own to learn the lessons. It's not identical as if you inhabited the body of that life but it serves the same teaching moments. This is one theory and of course I don't have the answers but it's a possibility that makes sense as well.
Heaven and hell are both choices
What are ghosts?
Part 1 and part 2 thank you Curtis on you being on Mel show. You really goes to details on explaining.
I enjoyed the entire video! Got me really thinking. Had to rewatch the first video since some of things he said sent my mind down a path of reflection and I missed a lot. His representation of Swedenborg's description of Heaven and Hell was an entirely different take than I have ever heard. Pretty amazing stuff and definitely food for thought. His depiction of reincarnation has me scratching my head a little. Need to look into that some. Don't quite understand how a spirit or angel can sort of step down into a lower realm, experience that place, forget themselves and go back to where they were and that not be possible for a once incarnate spirit to do so. Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought this was a great interview!

I believe that I am Su before, now and after.
I know people claim they have past lives, because of past life memories. However I can be Su now and have memories of a clerk in Ancient Egypt. But then another person in the present, may have memories of this clerk in Ancient Egypt too. Did we both have past life as a clerk in Ancienr Egypt. I don't think so.
I think souls share groups or collectives. I believe me and this person in the present, both have access to the clerks memory from Ancient Egypt and experience their life, from their perspective.Maybe the clerk from Ancient Egypt may have access to my memory and the other person in the present's memory as well. It's information exchange and experience exchange, like we do with social media.
About karma. Maybe a past ancester did some misdeeds and I agreed in this life to rectify it for them? That could be love.
Finally as evidence,people who had organ transplants , may have their donor's memories. The donor could like poetry and suddenly the transplant donor patient may do. Our body cells have our unique ( soul) or energy signature in them. But we are unique from the moment God created us. So a donor's organ could still retain the energy signature of the donor.
The brain does not just have memories. Water, heart cells and even body cells may have cellular memory.
Fascinating stuff.
Soooo nice. He’s not focusing on self awareness, self love, self ascending, self self self. It’s about loving and serving others
I do agree that we inherited staff from our previous generations. We carry on our ancestors karmas in our blue print. But I do not live my mother's life. She has her experiences, connect with ppl and make her choices and I have mine. So, Am not her. I come in and out of lives until I clear my dept and evolve. Kardec explained this. So for me there is no doubt that we reencarnate. It was on the Bible too and it was removed from it on the Council of Nicea.
I can't find any mention of "reincarnation" (many lives) in my bible. However, I see we're only appointed to live once (one life) and then we're judged by God (Hebrews 9:27). How do I reconcile this?
