Swedenborgian Eleanor Schnarr on Neuroscience & Spirituality

Host Rev. Cory Bradford-Watts interviews artist, poet, and Swedenborgian Eleanor Schnarr about eighteenth-century scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s early explorations of the human brain and breath control and how his findings influenced his later works on spiritual anatomy. As a student of Swedenborgian Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, Eleanor has written several fascinating papers about Swedenborg’s practice of internal breathing and how it compares to other ancient meditative forms such as tantra and yoga. Eleanor draws on her extensive research to explain how Swedenborg used meditative breathing to access the spiritual world and how we can also experience divine consciousness. This is an audio version of a video interview.

offTheLeftEye Director Curtis Childs on the Power of Divine Providence & Swedenborgian Spirituality

Host Rev. Cory Bradford-Watts interviews offTheLeftEye Director Curtis Childs about how he started a successful YouTube channel based on the spiritual work of a little known eighteenth-century Christian mystic named Emanuel Swedenborg. Learn how Curtis' own struggles with anxiety and depression opened his heart and mind to Swedenborg's writings and the peace of heaven, and how it inspired his desire to help others manage their suffering too. One of the overarching messages that came up over and over during Cory and Curtis' conversation is how embracing Divine providence (a Swedenborgian concept) can lead to a deeply authentic spiritual experience and journey in work and in life.
