Love of self, love of others, love of material things, and love of God. Lead a spiritually fulfilling life by getting these love priorities in order! In this episode, host Curtis Childs guides us through eighteenth-century spiritual explorer Emanuel Swedenborg’s written philosophies about love. Throughout his vast volumes of writings, Swedenborg describes four kinds of love, the role each type plays in our lives, and how we can rearrange them if they fall out of order so that we can get back on the path of happiness and spiritual fulfillment.

Curtis Childs is the digital media producer at the Swedenborg Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to spread eighteenth-century philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg’s timeless message of hope to all. While obtaining his degree in communication studies from Oakland University, Curtis experienced an internal battle with depression that led him to question God, existence, 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 a weekly webcast called Swedenborg and Life on the offTheLeftEye YouTube channel. Each week, Curtis and his behind-the-scenes team pour their talents and passions into creating a new episode for a worldwide audience that focuses on spiritual and societal topics such as the afterlife, angels and spirits, near-death experiences, overcoming worldly issues, and more.
