Is it Safe to Talk to Spirits?

YouTube player

Even though many people have encountered spirits, the scientific community often denies their existence. How can those of us who have these experiences know if it is safe to interact with them? In this episode, we discuss the nature of these spirits, why it might be dangerous to interact with them, and some simple methods for safely doing so. We end with a brief inquiry into why interacting with some types of spirits may be directed towards helping and healing humanity.

  • My wife was woken up by a bright light in the middle of the night. She mentioned it to me and I thought it must have come from outside. A week or so later, I was awoken by a blinding light. I managed to open my eyes enough to see a light being, basically Our lady of Quadalupe shape, but just light, no human form. My minds response was, Oh, I know you. I knew it from before, as clear as anything. I was not bathed in love, but I was reminded that there is a before and an after and an other that I have been seeking ever since. We have found so much with Swedenborg the rings true in our souls. Thank you!

    • Wow, what an amazing story, Eric! Thank you so much for sharing it with us here! Iโ€™m very glad that Swedenborgโ€™s writings are helping to affirm things you already believe in your heart. God bless!

  • I had an NDE when I was 8 yrs old. It was the most profound experience that I ever had. I am now able to see patchy memories of many of my past lives. More than 25, to date. But I did not have this ability until I reached the age of about 58 yrs. ( I am now 69). I believe it was because my Psychiatrist mistakenly put me on the drug called Stellazine. I am Australian. He imagined that I am Schitzophrenic. I knew that I never was, but abided by his wishes, because 1, my brother was high end Schitzophrenic and 2, my Dr. is a Buddhist monk and 3, because he admired Swedenborg as a great mystic. I just want you to know that I relate with you wonderful people completely. I have so much more to say, but shall leave it here, for now. Thank you for all you do. ( Luv ya Curtis. <3 )

    • Thank you for writing to us! If youโ€™d ever like to describe that NDE you had at age 8, weโ€™d love to hear more. Iโ€™m so glad that the concepts we share from Swedenborgโ€™s writings help to affirm your own personal experiences. Weโ€™re grateful to have you in the audience, Jenny, and weโ€™re sending love right back to you!
