“These type of verses made me reject the Bible and religion as a whole, became a militant atheist at the age of 15. I’m 37 now, watching beautiful NDE stories and the works of Swedenborg converted me to spirituality of gentle love. Thank you for paving the way.”
“I’ve just discovered Swedenborg. He’s fascinating! Looking forward to learning more.”
“…the deepest most comforting podcast on the internet. I STILL keep mentioning it wherever I go…”
“Guys..you are a safe place.”
“It’s absolutely mind boggling how you – with some help from Swedenborg..- can interpret these very confusing and mysterious parables of Jesus… I’ve tried to make sense of them for years..”
“Correspondences fascinate and entertain me SO much… It is a big part of what brought me back to The Word and The Lord.”
“I literally clung to every word of this. I am so hungry for this teaching. Thank you!”
“I started watching spirit and life back in 2011-12. It was different back then but the effect that it has had on me ‘remains’ the same… The thing about S&L is that it caters to the well read as well as the novice to the writings.”
“When I finally found that I’m not a body there I felt freedom”
“I became aware of Swedenborg and his writings 11 years ago, while I was in hospital recovering from surgery… finding Swedenborg’s writings totally blew me away. I knew instantly that what I was reading was the truth. It wasn’t long until I became aware of the Spirit and Life Bible study and I fell in love with the series.”
“Thank you so much for answering my question so thoughtfully and sensitively!!”
“…when I started having devastating pain, all I thought about was health and recovery – now all I ask is ‘teach me how to love.’ It’s the only thing that really matters”
“What a relief for autistic people, who have spent their entire lives struggling to ‘mask’ the way neuro-typical people do, to suddenly find themselves in a place where no one can pretend even if they try.”
“i LOVE YOU TWO. Thank you for helping us through this journey called life on earth.”
“Why is it that I’ve never heard of Swedenborg before?”
“Thanks for answering my questions so well. It’s nice to know if someone hasn’t found someone in this life they will still have a chance to experience that.”
“I’m happy to know that god will not judge me on my mental health, as I worried he would. … Thank you for understanding me and my anxiety.”
“And do you know what? i never heard about Swedenborg’s Writings and i’m swedish haha wow i will for sure dive into his thoughts.”
