What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is usually a profound, life-modifying, intensely psychological experience that normally takes place through a clinical crisis and has prevalent attributes and aftereffects. It is not a aspiration, hallucination, or mental sickness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to determine who will have an NDE. They transpire to folks of all ages, religions, socio-economic teams, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief units. They come about under a assortment of situation these as accidents, close to-drownings, health problems, fight, surgical treatments, and childbirth. Pursuing an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) generally show some prevalent aftereffects. Research has proven a established of common NDE qualities and long-term aftereffects. Theories utilized to explain near-death experiences in purely bodily phrases have been established insufficient by NDE scientists and others.

Now it is permitted to enter with understanding into the mysteries of faith.
There is a term that surfaced in the 70/80’s called ‘the white light’ experience in the here and now. Several times I have seen things dissolve in light. Physics says everything can be reduced to light. Can we separate light from love?
Fabulous conversation. Curtis rocks.
Thr truth cannot remain hidden for long. Even the deepest seeds still find the light of day.
Hey Curtis, you may find Dolores Cannon on YouTube interesting. Great video, many thanks
Thanks for this video….great info, looking forward to know more about Swedenborg
Why him?
Around 41:00, and again at 57:15, I really resonated. I feel like one of life’s main purposes is to push us to a limit, even a crisis point, where we at the core of ourselves either choose to be open and reach out to try to “know” or receive awareness about life from a source beyond ourselves, or we choose to lean back into ourselves/what is familiar/and or shut down and shut off and be stuck in pride and self-involvement, self-assurity, or even bitterness or despair.
Some call that moment a Faith crisis, the point at which a person chooses to either extend faith to try to know something beyond one’s own awareness and self, or else collapse into themself. I know it is often associated with a person “losing faith”, but in the way I’m describing, it’s more an opportunity to extend faith in order to receive wisdom, rather than giving anything up, per-se.
I feel like that’s the point I felt yearning for God, the way an inner part of me perceived God to be, and I really started to experience God in a different way from that point on, from an “inside” standpoint, whereas before it was a lot more trying to connect with a being from what others told me about Him.
I had genuine connection prior but it was like hints or whispers, but when I yearned and prayed from a core-soul, point of crisis place, I felt God connect with another part of myself. In a different way. Like an impression, making a handprint in wet sand, it sunk deeper, stayed longer, fills me, replenishes, gives comfort, a sense of direction.
This has profoundly changed my life, and affects every part of my life. It’s challenging to talk about bc so much of this can be perceived as trying to put on an air of superiority, or trying to become important by saying these things. I’m not even talking about salvation either (although I do believe in it and that it’s important).
Just this deep awareness of God and an inner soul inside oneself that can come about when a person’s pride is stripped away, at least momentarily, and they are filled with a real heart’s yearning to feel/understand what more there is, out of almost desperation (nothing else can fill that need).
I have always been impressed by the writings of Swedenborg, so this is a great update. It amazes me that such a giant could have disappeared from history for so long. To me he's right up there with Newton. On the other hand, it's a testiment to the power of the paradigm shift we're entering as the human race. Great presentation!
The tendency of advantage by taking advantage of another that happens on earth so so much in so many ways What in truth is this all about. I think you guys are going to have to compile a lot more info and then maybe you will say this is a rite of passage world. Different for each one of us. Accept that. Respect that. remember that. The lesson of the used car sales men may simply be that we need to accept them as they are until we know better how to deal with them. They are lessens in how to get it wrong. They are learning we are learning and the lessons will allways exist even in higher worlds but at a less harmfull level. Even near perfect worlds will still have many challenges and disagreement – it never gets boring no matter how much we learn. That is part of creator planning. Everything not dealt with in this universe will be dealt with in the next fear not. It's Okay – What's next?
This is what Curtis's "A" game looks like
Raja, Bhakti – back and forth. Personal effort, Devotion – back and forth.

The eyes don't cross over. The nerves cross each other in the neck so everything below the neck relates to the other side of the brain.
Beautiful conversation
Love your interpretation of what correspondence is, using the connection between happiness and a smile. Also, according to what I've read in Swedenborg, when we experience a past life, it can be the memory/ life of an associate spirit(like a close friend) who is in the same sphere as the person having that memory. It also could be, IMO, the memory of an ancestor, because we have memory in our DNA. But that is not what Swedenborg said.
Excellent interview, Curtis is no doubt doing EXACTLY what God meant for him to be doing during his time on earth cause he's far FAR TOO good at it.
Hello, new subscriber here from being an old subscriber of Off The Left Eye. I love NDEs and if thats what THIS channel is about, then I must be in the right place so I think I'll stick around and have a peek at some of your videos Playlist and spiritually grow some more in God.
Your analizing Curtis is soo spot on, rather than using silly sentences like "building up your spiritual muscles"???? The qualities our Lord Jesus tells the true NDE'S – Love & kindness. Thank Heaven's for Mr Moody (found him when I was 17yrs old (now 76)! and Curtis, your good & true way of imparting our 'serious' question's answers…………May God bless & keep you safe untill we all meet very soon in Heaven for a wonderful & meant to be eternal life.
I do though hear God our Father & our Lord Jesus saying to Their Prophets in these last & final days, that if you have any unrepented sins, even a little one, you will not enter the Gates of Heaven!!!! Better for all & a future Sin free New Earth & New Heavens. Love you Curtis, & yours!
Curtis is always the best.
I sometimes wonder what Swedenborg would look like as a contemporary 🙂 Hipster beard? Jeans and Tshirt? Smartphone in the back pocket? Would he drive a Tesla or a bike?
Curtis, you bring Swedenborg's narratives into a timeless realm – that strips him off the distracting appearance of a guy from the 18th century. But still… would he wear organic cotton? Fun to think about it 😉
Excellent talk.
Volume to low. I stopped listening.
I've kept hearing about Swedenborg and never looked into his writing. I hope this fills me in.
I know I'll get yelled at for saying this, but who says spirituality has anything to do with religion in the first place? Isn't this new realm discovery a part of physics? Aren't we talking about higher frequencies, vibrations, and dimensions? Isn't that physics? Isn't consciousness a more fundamental force that belies both Newtonian and Quantum physics?
I’ve had numerous experiences and can explain many questions
and have some on NDERF but need video
Thank you for this important and interesting discussion.
This conversation is balm for the millions of people who need some comfort of something much better to come. In our crazy world this conversation opens people up to the spiritual realm and brings much hope.
Swedenborg is a historical character that makes one realize nde and obe experiences have always been. Thankyou ⭐
Thank you curtis another fanstatic job explaining Swedenborg
It's so wonderful to listen to this. It summarises so many things I've been feeling and thinking about and couldn't tell others for fear of being ridiculed. Thank you ❤️
