How to Free Your Mind From Hell - Swedenborg and Life

Just like our electronic devices, our minds are constantly on the receiving end of information—some good, some bad. We get user’s manuals with our electronics, but our minds don’t come with instructions. Where can we find the tools we need to combat negative, destructive thoughts so we can perform optimally?

In this episode, Host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation utilizes the help of an experienced therapist and spiritual practitioners to explore Emanuel Swedenborg’s ideas on using consciousness and reflection to free our minds from negativity.

Discussion points:
--Consciousness
--Reflection
--Recognition
--Choosing Your Direction
--Remodeling/Changing

★☆★THE HOST★☆★

Curtis Childs is the digital media producer at the Swedenborg Foundation. While obtaining his degree in communication studies from Oakland University, Curtis experienced an internal battle with depression that led him to question God and his lifelong interest in Swedenborgian theology. After a period of intense suffering, he recovered from his depression with the help of modern medicine, therapy, and a return to the spiritually uplifting messages he found in Swedenborg’s writings. Now, Curtis is applying his education and desire to help others find peace through Swedenborg’s insights by producing and hosting weekly webcasts.
