In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to Swedenborg Foundation’s Chief Visionary Officer Curtis Childs. We discuss the inventor/mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, how to find true intuition, how to connect with our angelic guidance, and what Curtis has learned after years of research. Curtis also explores overcoming anxiety with spiritual practices and the role of spiritual awakening in humanity’s future, so be sure to watch until the end!  Swedenborg’s extraordinary 18th-century journey took him from being a celebrated scientist and inventor to a daily explorer of the spiritual world. Curtis shares how Swedenborg’s detailed visions mirror modern near-death experience (NDE) accounts, offering timeless wisdom about life after death, angels, divine love, and the connection between the physical and spiritual realms. In Swedenborg’s unique perspective on the afterlife, love shapes communities, consciousness shapes reality, and heaven is a state of mind rooted in service to others.  Afterlife Revealed podcast - Episode 16 Curtis Childs is the host of the popular Off the Left Eye podcast, has appeared on many international radio shows, podcasts, and YouTube shows, such as Talk Gnosis, Sunday Morning Spiritual, and We Don’t Die Radio, and has been a speaker at several conferences, including TCCHE and IANDS.

A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.
