Speaker 1 (00:00):
Forces of hell work on each of us. Yes, the
forces of hell work on every single human being on
this planet. And we find that in scripture, which of
course supports this idea, that God uses these forces of
(00:23):
darkness to empower his people, to empower our spirits, our
personal strengths, our collective strengths, our communal strength, and so yes,
in a way, God uses hell like a blacksmith would
(00:45):
use an anvil or a refiner's fire. But really they're
like the kindling, because as we grow the hellish parts
of ourselves, the hellish orientation of others does reach kind
of this boiling point, you could say, this very heated
(01:08):
part of the process, But like many other processes, that
is soon before the work is done, soon before that
fire can be quenched, because it's the part of the
process that needs the most finesse, the details that need
(01:32):
the highest sharpness, that need that level of heat so
that the metal can be molded more perfectly by the
one who does all our work. And so in this
world today we are between forces. According to the mystic Swedenborg,
(01:54):
we are between heaven and Hell. We are between God,
God and the angels, which, according to that mystic from
the eighteenth century are people who have passed over and
in a more collective since communities in heaven and Hell,
which is not run by a single satan or devil,
(02:19):
according to Swedenborg, but is run by many of them
believing they're the top and in fact, just due to
the nature of Hell, we can kind of understand this
if we think about it. There's always biting for that
top spot. And because Hell is full of illusory ideas, hallucinations,
you could say, false beliefs. You can't really trust one
(02:42):
being to truly be the satan. But whether or not
that's the case, according to many, including our own biblical
texts and other texts throughout the world, we are being
played upon or being in a way empowered by both,
(03:04):
let's say houses. Of course, Heaven doesn't need Hell to
stay perfectly in balance. Heaven needs no balance, but Hell, yes,
must be managed by Heaven, by Heaven's angels, by the Lord,
because the nature of our Hellish spirit is to destroy.
(03:27):
It's to want nothing to do with anyone. You've all
let me down, or I don't have enough control, you're
not doing things right, or I just want you for
my lusts and my other passions of power and glory whatever, right,
So that's destructive, that's death itself. That's why in a way,
God looks at hell and hellishness as nothing, because the
(03:52):
more it's let into itself, the weaker it truly is,
which means it has no real breadth in the spiritual world,
has no real depth, has no real expansion because it
has no real volume because space, power all these things
is a relative term to the actual spirit of the thing.
(04:15):
If you're big in spirit, then in the spirit, you're big.
You know, our spirits as human beings are naturally gigantic
or huge compared to what we would say are bodies are,
and perhaps our individual souls. That spirit is often that
hulking presence of the higher Self, that divine, beautiful, angelic presence, truly,
(04:39):
because it's powers from the Angel's powers from the heavens.
That is our truest self and the part of us
that we can never really lose, otherwise we've died, truly died.
And perhaps for some of us that's what's going to come.
Perhaps some of our minds are so far gone down
the rabbit hole of destruction that the in that mind,
(05:02):
at least the way it's set up everything it thinks
about itself, et cetera, has to be dismantled. We can
understand that. We can actually say, well, that makes sense.
Even for me. If I were truly evil and harming people,
I would want all those things dismantled. What would I
be afterward? I would be consciousness with the better mind.
God is that consciousness. God is that light and so truly,
(05:26):
when we shed our hellishness, when we allow those who
are forcing isolation upon themselves to have it too, we
are allowing God to work in their lives because perhaps
they find redemption in this life, and God to work
in all of our lives because we can find greater
peace and we can get a breath where we can
(05:47):
actually use the strength that we can build off of
that terrible experience in our past and do great works
for each other, not just having to fight off devils.
Off right, It's kind of funny, but often in spiritual
circles we can center so much on the dark, the Satanic,
(06:10):
especially if it's been true in our lives. No, there's
a lot of Satanic ritual abuse victims and others out
there that have experiences like this. We're not going to
talk much about that today, But for a lot of
us it could be hard to move past the hurt
and the fear we have towards those who are getting
away with it, might kill us because we're willing to
(06:34):
speak the truth, etc. But in all honesty, it's not
true that it's Hell's kingdom here on earth. It is
still God's, still heavenly ones. It's not Satanic's world to
do with as they please. Can seem that way for
a while, but again it's like that fire meant for
(06:57):
the honing of our sword. As christaid, I've come to
bring a sword. He says, I have not come to
bring peace. But he's kind of playing with words in
my mind, because he is that piece. That piece is
already with us. God came in the flesh, not to
say not to bring the peace that's already with us.
(07:17):
God is always at our core, our spiritual sunshine, that
we truly are. But to bring that sword, that tool,
to be able to use the problems in the world,
to refine our tools so that we can go and
slay dragons. And so today I want to hone in
(07:39):
on this idea because it's really clear in a lot
of traditions, but I'm more familiar with the Christian ones,
and not just the Christian traditions, but also Swedenborg's mystical Christianity,
which he wrote about in the eighteenth century that Helen
Keller is a huge fan of. She wrote a great
(08:01):
book about it called My Religion Funny Enough. And we
see you throughout history by really, you know, harmarks in
their field, in the field of ideas of psychology, like you,
these people using Swedenborg to empower their thinking and their wholeness,
(08:27):
and rightfully so, we have listened to them. But for
whatever reason, Swedenborg kind of like the most potent ambrosia
out there. It's hidden away and we end up listening
to those who drank it. Well. In my mind, sometimes
we need to peel the veil and see a little
(08:47):
deeper into that bright line if we're ready. And with Swedenborg,
in terms of that bright light, I see this truth
about God's embodyment as everything as everything, and this truth
about God's hope and point of creation, which is a
(09:11):
heavenly kingdom, and that heavenly kingdom is already present in
the spiritual but it is in the process of soon
to be sprouting and in the material on this earth,
or at least with our people. And so we see
(09:32):
in Swedenborg this idea that divine wisdom, which is the
form of divine love, which is all God, takes divine
action and in our lives. I think we can relate
to this idea at multiple levels because we often think
of God as love, which I think is right. But
then we can also get into our heads about the
(09:54):
beauty and the intelligence in the Bible, which is also
good in other scriptures, in with other teachers, with family members,
with our own minds the insights that come. We know
that God is in that wisdom too, but more so
even we really start to feel that power of God
(10:18):
when that love coming through the wisdom in whatever way
in shape, starts to be embodied in our lives where
we can start to apply some of what we learn
to heal what needs healing. And so that takes me
to the practical portion of today's video. We can quite
(10:41):
literally so use prayer, internal prayer or outward prayer. Sometimes
we can be cult outward prayer to heal our lives,
to help heal our lives, because it often shows that
we mean it that we want God's presence, Jesus's presence,
(11:04):
whatever your word for the divine One, is in our
lives that we want that presence to heal and to
do its work. We can often say, you know, I
don't entirely know what the right name of God is.
Maybe God, you can help me choose one, or God
you can help me decide on pronunciation of Yeshua or
(11:27):
Jesus or whatever if we're caught in the weeds there.
But whatever terms we use, we're opening to that divine presence,
which is yes, infinite and in everything, as we've talked
about many times, but also is like an individual because
we're like God. We are in the image of God,
and really everything we can think about ourselves finds its truth.
(11:51):
It's wholeness in God, and yes it's in us in
wholeness too, but only if we let it come through
that way. And so the process, part of the practical
process of living in God with God, is to call
upon Jesus to heal us. So we can pray, God,
(12:14):
please heal my spirit, heal my soul, heal my body.
Another word we can use for soul is mine perhaps,
but those three levels of our being are essentially an
image of the three levels of God, which is Father,
(12:34):
Holy Spirit, and Son, Father Son and Holy Spirit and
popular chronological order so to speak, or whatever order. But
in terms of spirit, soul, body, we can say Father,
Holy Spirit, and Son. Perhaps. Now, whatever your ideas about
(12:55):
that are, we can sess them out in our prayer time. Honestly,
as we call to God to work to heal the
different levels of our being, of our minds, of our hearts,
we are empowering the spirit to do its work because
sometimes we can have blocks. And yes, it's a funny
thing to say, because often I just go straight to
(13:16):
the heart of matter talking about spiritual sunshine that's at
the core of each of us, that's divine, etc. But
in all honesty, we have to often take steps along
the way that often are personal steps. But there are
certain areas where we can coincide. And that is, for example,
(13:40):
using the power prayer to help the healing, using our
acknowledgment of the divinity of God as being this but
as like a friend, as a father, as a fellow
child of God, even to bring us closer to that relationship,
(14:02):
to that wholeness in community, because God isn't just God
for us God is God for everyone, and God is
God just for God. God doesn't need creation to be
bigger God. I've seen headlines on YouTube that God created
everything so that everything could get even bigger as God.
But no, in all honesty, God is that infinity already.
(14:26):
But God wants to share it. God wants to share it.
We receive of God, not build on God. It's God
building out of himself or herself theirs, God's divine self.
The Holy Spirit we often call a female, you know.
Often people with a tryingne idea of God, they'll call
(14:48):
Holy Spirit female. But we'll have a problem if you
call God she right. You know, we can talk out
of both sides of our mouths here, but that's just
getting too far into our heads to the weeds, not
letting the spirit talk. So the power prayer is important
because not only can we call on God on healing
(15:09):
and certain things, we can also call on a healing
of our inner relationships. Perhaps we start to see an
angelic being for our spirit, or that is our spirit
or other angelic beings in our minds. Some people talk
about this seeing Christ, hearing from Christ, seeing healing needed
(15:34):
between their spirit, which is kind of bigger you and
the soul, which is more in the body, control of
the body, because we often are bereft of that deeper
insight that our spirit always has in presence with God.
And so as we pray, whereas we contemplate, as we
(15:56):
turn inward, journal saying worship. In other ways, walk sit.
You know, whatever your form of worship is, make it
active in a sense, make it open to God's message
for us, and that can do wonders for our personal
(16:17):
practical wellbeing. And yes, that is often the process needed
to overcome hellish spirits in our lives, whether it's just narcissism,
the impacts of narcissism in our past, the narcissism what
we call our culture here in the West at least
a few decades ago. Now. People like to talk about
(16:39):
the Golden Age, but in total, you know, ignoring of
all the atrocities that the CIA was doing, all the
atrocities against minorities. It's like, that's not the Golden Age.
If that's the fruit right for some people, because it
was great, but that is like you know, that rare
berry on a tree full of filth, with wars in
(17:00):
the world, a lot of the things that we thought
were just problems of other countries like poverty and India
and other places. Turns out as we learned world history, right, oh,
it's because they were occupied for two hundred years by
the British. Right. So a lot of things that we
thought were just American or Western exceptionalism. As we gain
(17:21):
more perspective, we start to see, oh no, that's those
were actually repercussions of Western imperialism. And that's part of
the healing journeys. Not to say that if you love
the seventies or eighties or nineties, or even you know,
the last five years, that you can't love it. You
(17:43):
know it's good that God was great in your life
in that way. But seeing the full picture, seeing how
we're affected by the hellish and the heavenly, can allow
us to share more of that wealth, more of that privilege,
share more of that heavenly abode with other beings because
(18:05):
we know they need it. We can pray for them.
We can extend our protection to other places, to our employees,
perhaps to our family, protection, the God given strength, protection,
or whatever bubble that God gives each of us, that
(18:27):
divine pattern of wellness. We can start to ask or
request God to extend it to others. We can ask
for God to bless others with the infinite blessings of
God to empower our wisdom or acting for the goodness
of others as well, because in all reality, it can
be very selfish in a good way to pray for others,
(18:51):
because although a part of our selves, at least in
the past, or at least beings who are embodying hellishness
now believe this, thinks that this is all great to
hurt people, to dominate, to just wantonly get whatever it is,
sexual gratification, greed, gratification, you know, not caring about what
(19:15):
other people are going through in that process. In all reality,
there's a heavenly part of what is our light that
is telling us and knows that no, that isn't that great.
You are in ignorance. Forgive them, for they know not
what they do. You are in total ignorance, how conniving,
(19:36):
perfectly conniving you are. You have some crazy ai from
aliens from another galaxy and you're just dominating everyone on
this planet or something. You know, people have these ideas
about the world. Even if you're that bad, you are
in total ignorance because really you're just selling your shelf short.
It doesn't matter how cool that stuff is. To dominate
and control and to hurt and condemn and to mind
(19:58):
control and hypnotize all things that we actually know the
CIA has been doing. No, it's total ignorance. For yourself,
it sucks. There's great joy wholeness to be fun. You
don't have to take my word for it. You can
start the process of healing, even as maybe you keep
doing the checkboxes on your world domination playlists or whatever.
(20:22):
But start that healing process because you will be happier
for it. And those hellish influences they have no place
in the future. It doesn't matter how bad things get
today for good people. There will come a time I
believe that those things will be gone, be dissipated because
(20:45):
they have no life in them. And as the Bible says,
we will look upon the evil as a passing dream
that we can hardly remember. Let's promise. And so today
we're all cult honestly, we're all calt just to stay
with the presence of being. God isn't away from you.
(21:08):
God is standing at the door of the inner door,
which is already in you. Okay, not like outer door,
your inner door. God is there already in you, just
wanting a greater presence of you being aware of it
and living with it and casting out demons in His
name in your own life and healing, finding joy, peace
(21:31):
and happiness. So we can all do that, whatever our past.
Perhaps it calls on us to share some truths. I
don't know. Perhaps it can often call on us to
do covert work to help the kingdom. But at some
point we have to be willing to yes, step out
(21:54):
and allow you know, those who would judge us for
it to judge us and to do the right thing.
And that's the beauty of this life. We are given
a real opportunity to be a hero. You know, I
watched the New Superman. I don't know if you've seen it.
You've seen it. It's an interesting movie. I will say.
I like comics. I collect comics in a small degree.
(22:17):
I used to collect comics a lot more. But it's
a cool, cool movie, very much like the Silver Age,
you know, like the seventies, eighties, I guess something like that.
But well, going on, I will say, but the beauty
of that is that goodness that Superman doth. And really
we are in the face of maybe even more horrendous
(22:45):
villains in our midst today than what we saw in
that movie. So let that sink in. You are in
a process of heroism as you work on your own line,
Heroism as you pray in a minister for your own family,
for your own community. Hero is as you are willing
(23:09):
to step away from those habits that are holding you back.
May not seem that bad, but part of us knows
if they're holding us back. So sometimes we just have
to accept dismissal of them, Pray for repentance, pray for healing,
Pray for disavowing of any harmful spirit connected to that
(23:33):
process in our lives, any harmful vow or soul contract.
People have terms for these things, and they can be
very helpful to say, I release under God's name, all
harmful internal vows against my own well being, against my
own healing, against my own connectedness with God. And so
(23:57):
again we're heroes to the extent we are heroic, and
no movie is going to do with justice what you
have gone through probably what you will go through. So
those are just images of humankind. Christ is talking about
(24:17):
all of humanity when he says all the things the
Son of humanity will go through. He's not just talking
about himself. I mean, it's really obvious in certain parts,
but some parts I think we're too humble to just say, oh, okay.
He's talking about what we're all going through, and he
says even more clearly, we're going to be doing greater
things than what he had done, including raising Lazarus from
(24:44):
the dead. So let that sink in peace.
Forces of hell work on each of us. Yes, the
forces of hell work on every single human being on
this planet. And we find that in scripture, which of
course supports this idea, that God uses these forces of
(00:23):

different levels of our being, of our minds, of our hearts,
we are empowering the spirit to do its work because
sometimes we can have blocks. And yes, it's a funny
thing to say, because often I just go straight to
(13:16):
the heart of matter talking about spiritual sunshine that's at
the core of each of us, that's divine, etc. But
in all honesty, we have to often take steps along
the way that often are personal steps. But there are
certain areas where we can coincide. And that is, for example,
(13:40):
using the power prayer to help the healing, using our
acknowledgment of the divinity of God as being this but
as like a friend, as a father, as a fellow
child of God, even to bring us closer to that relationship,
(14:02):
to that wholeness in community, because God isn't just God
for us God is God for everyone, and God is
God just for God. God doesn't need creation to be
bigger God. I've seen headlines on YouTube that God created
everything so that everything could get even bigger as God.
But no, in all honesty, God is that infinity already.
(14:26):
But God wants to share it. God wants to share it.
We receive of God, not build on God. It's God
building out of himself or herself theirs, God's divine self.
The Holy Spirit we often call a female, you know.
Often people with a tryingne idea of God, they'll call
(14:48):
Holy Spirit female. But we'll have a problem if you
call God she right. You know, we can talk out
of both sides of our mouths here, but that's just
getting too far into our heads to the weeds, not
letting the spirit talk. So the power prayer is important
because not only can we call on God on healing
(15:09):
and certain things, we can also call on a healing
of our inner relationships. Perhaps we start to see an
angelic being for our spirit, or that is our spirit
or other angelic beings in our minds. Some people talk
about this seeing Christ, hearing from Christ, seeing healing needed
(15:34):
between their spirit, which is kind of bigger you and
the soul, which is more in the body, control of
the body, because we often are bereft of that deeper
insight that our spirit always has in presence with God.
And so as we pray, whereas we contemplate, as we
(15:56):
turn inward, journal saying worship. In other ways, walk sit.
You know, whatever your form of worship is, make it
active in a sense, make it open to God's message
for us, and that can do wonders for our personal
(16:17):
practical wellbeing. And yes, that is often the process needed
to overcome hellish spirits in our lives, whether it's just narcissism,
the impacts of narcissism in our past, the narcissism what
we call our culture here in the West at least
a few decades ago. Now. People like to talk about
(16:39):
the Golden Age, but in total, you know, ignoring of
all the atrocities that the CIA was doing, all the
atrocities against minorities. It's like, that's not the Golden Age.
If that's the fruit right for some people, because it
was great, but that is like you know, that rare
berry on a tree full of filth, with wars in
(17:00):
the world, a lot of the things that we thought
were just problems of other countries like poverty and India
and other places. Turns out as we learned world history, right, oh,
it's because they were occupied for two hundred years by
the British. Right. So a lot of things that we
thought were just American or Western exceptionalism. As we gain
(17:21):
more perspective, we start to see, oh no, that's those
were actually repercussions of Western imperialism. And that's part of
the healing journeys. Not to say that if you love
the seventies or eighties or nineties, or even you know,
the last five years, that you can't love it. You
(17:43):
know it's good that God was great in your life
in that way. But seeing the full picture, seeing how
we're affected by the hellish and the heavenly, can allow
us to share more of that wealth, more of that privilege,
share more of that heavenly abode with other beings because
(18:05):
we know they need it. We can pray for them.
We can extend our protection to other places, to our employees,
perhaps to our family, protection, the God given strength, protection,
or whatever bubble that God gives each of us, that
(18:27):
divine pattern of wellness. We can start to ask or
request God to extend it to others. We can ask
for God to bless others with the infinite blessings of
God to empower our wisdom or acting for the goodness
of others as well, because in all reality, it can
be very selfish in a good way to pray for others,
(18:51):
because although a part of our selves, at least in
the past, or at least beings who are embodying hellishness
now believe this, thinks that this is all great to
hurt people, to dominate, to just wantonly get whatever it is,
sexual gratification, greed, gratification, you know, not caring about what
(19:15):
other people are going through in that process. In all reality,
there's a heavenly part of what is our light that
is telling us and knows that no, that isn't that great.
You are in ignorance. Forgive them, for they know not
what they do. You are in total ignorance, how conniving,
(19:36):
perfectly conniving you are. You have some crazy ai from
aliens from another galaxy and you're just dominating everyone on
this planet or something. You know, people have these ideas
about the world. Even if you're that bad, you are
in total ignorance because really you're just selling your shelf short.
It doesn't matter how cool that stuff is. To dominate
and control and to hurt and condemn and to mind
(19:58):
control and hypnotize all things that we actually know the
CIA has been doing. No, it's total ignorance. For yourself,
it sucks. There's great joy wholeness to be fun. You
don't have to take my word for it. You can
start the process of healing, even as maybe you keep
doing the checkboxes on your world domination playlists or whatever.
(20:22):
But start that healing process because you will be happier
for it. And those hellish influences they have no place
in the future. It doesn't matter how bad things get
today for good people. There will come a time I
believe that those things will be gone, be dissipated because
(20:45):
they have no life in them. And as the Bible says,
we will look upon the evil as a passing dream
that we can hardly remember. Let's promise. And so today
we're all cult honestly, we're all calt just to stay
with the presence of being. God isn't away from you.
(21:08):
God is standing at the door of the inner door,
which is already in you. Okay, not like outer door,
your inner door. God is there already in you, just
wanting a greater presence of you being aware of it
and living with it and casting out demons in His
name in your own life and healing, finding joy, peace
(21:31):
and happiness. So we can all do that, whatever our past.
Perhaps it calls on us to share some truths. I
don't know. Perhaps it can often call on us to
do covert work to help the kingdom. But at some
point we have to be willing to yes, step out
(21:54):
and allow you know, those who would judge us for
it to judge us and to do the right thing.
And that's the beauty of this life. We are given
a real opportunity to be a hero. You know, I
watched the New Superman. I don't know if you've seen it.
You've seen it. It's an interesting movie. I will say.
I like comics. I collect comics in a small degree.
(22:17):
I used to collect comics a lot more. But it's
a cool, cool movie, very much like the Silver Age,
you know, like the seventies, eighties, I guess something like that.
But well, going on, I will say, but the beauty
of that is that goodness that Superman doth. And really
we are in the face of maybe even more horrendous
(22:45):
villains in our midst today than what we saw in
that movie. So let that sink in. You are in
a process of heroism as you work on your own line,
Heroism as you pray in a minister for your own family,
for your own community. Hero is as you are willing
(23:09):
to step away from those habits that are holding you back.
May not seem that bad, but part of us knows
if they're holding us back. So sometimes we just have
to accept dismissal of them, Pray for repentance, pray for healing,
Pray for disavowing of any harmful spirit connected to that
(23:33):
process in our lives, any harmful vow or soul contract.
People have terms for these things, and they can be
very helpful to say, I release under God's name, all
harmful internal vows against my own well being, against my
own healing, against my own connectedness with God. And so
(23:57):
again we're heroes to the extent we are heroic, and
no movie is going to do with justice what you
have gone through probably what you will go through. So
those are just images of humankind. Christ is talking about
(24:17):
all of humanity when he says all the things the
Son of humanity will go through. He's not just talking
about himself. I mean, it's really obvious in certain parts,
but some parts I think we're too humble to just say, oh, okay.
He's talking about what we're all going through, and he
says even more clearly, we're going to be doing greater
things than what he had done, including raising Lazarus from
(24:44):
the dead. So let that sink in peace.
