Episode Notes

Ten original viewer questions featured in this episode:

What if your last days on earth you caused more pain than your lifetime and left your children a legacy of anger and divided a family? How do you just get to go to heaven in a loving community?
Does Swedenborg talk about the Higher Self?
If God is omniscient then why would He allow evil? Why did He just not create anything He knew would be bad?
How do evil spirits get a second chance at Redemption? Reincarnation has been presented as a way for evil spirits to redeem themselves by coming back again and again until they got everything corrected.
If you want to live in hell, do you feel your soul or body?
I am wondering how ES would speak of free will vs. the effects of spirits both good and evil.
So is Swedenborg saying that our thoughts are not our own but they all come from the Spirit World???
My late wife was a loving, kind and very generous lady, but she did not believe in a GOD. Is she destined to go to hell or will I meet her in heaven?
What do angels look like? Are they huge?
Hi, I’m a new listener. How do you stop negative self-talk and live in the light?
