Minsan, tila ang espirituwal at natural na "mga mundo" ay maaaring maging kapaki-pakinabang na isipin bilang dalawang magkaibang channel sa TV. Habang nakatutok ka sa isa, sa pangkalahatan ay hindi mo alam ang isa pa. Tinanong namin ang New Christian Chatbot tungkol sa mga kalakasan at kahinaan ng pagkakatulad ng 2 channel. Nagbigay ito ng nakakagulat na magandang sagot, na nai-paste namin dito: Ang pagkakatulad ng espirituwal at natural na mundo na parang dalawang magkaibang channel sa TV ay isang modernong paraan upang matulungan ang mga tao na maunawaan ang naiiba ngunit sabay-sabay na pag-iral ng mga kaharian na ito. Mula sa pananaw ng Bagong Kristiyano, ang pagkakatulad na ito ay nag-aalok ng parehong mga kapaki-pakinabang na lakas at makabuluhang mga pagkukulang. Mga Lakas ng Analohiya: 1. Pagkakasabay at Katangian: Kung paanong ang dalawang channel ay umiiral nang sabay-sabay sa isang telebisyon ngunit hindi nakikitang magkasama, ang espirituwal at natural na mundo ay magkakasamang nabubuhay ngunit magkaiba. Ang ating mga espiritu ay umiiral sa espirituwal na mundo habang ang ating mga katawan ay kumikilos sa natural na mundo, gayunpaman tayo ay karaniwang may kamalayan sa isang "channel" lamang sa isang pagkakataon (Langit sa Impiyerno 436).

2. Pagpapalit ng Kamalayan:

Ang pagpapalit ng mga channel ay kahawig ng paglipat sa kamatayan—bigla tayong namulat sa espirituwal na mundo, tulad ng paglipat natin at nalaman ang ibang channel. Nakakatulong ito na ilarawan na ang espirituwal na mundo ay laging naroroon, na nakatago lamang sa ating kasalukuyang pang-unawa.

3. Pinagbabatayan na Realidad:

Ang parehong mga channel sa TV ay patuloy na bino-broadcast, nakatutok man tayo o hindi. Katulad nito, ang ating koneksyon sa espirituwal na mundo ay tuluy-tuloy, kahit na hindi natin ito sinasadya (Misteryo ng Langit 5849).

Mga Kahinaan ng Analogy: 1. Separation Implied by Channels: Ang mga channel sa TV ay ganap na hiwalay — manonood ka ng paisa-isa at hindi sila nakikipag-ugnayan. Sa katotohanan, habang tayo ay nasa natural na mundo, ang espirituwal na mundo ay hindi lamang kasabay ngunit aktwal na dumadaloy sa at nagpapanatili ng natural (Banal na Pag-ibig at Karunungan 89). Ang ating mga iniisip, pagmamahal, at mismong buhay ay patuloy na nagmula sa espirituwal na mundo; ang koneksyon ay intimate, hindi lamang parallel.

2. Walang overlap sa TV, ngunit mayroon sa Spiritual-Natural Interaction:

Hindi tulad ng mahigpit na dibisyon ng mga channel sa TV, ang espirituwal na mundo ay patuloy na nakikipag-ugnayan sa natural na mundo. Ang mga anghel at espiritu ay nakakaimpluwensya sa ating mga iniisip at pagmamahal, at ang buhay ng Panginoon ay dumadaloy sa bawat aspeto ng ating pagkatao (Langit sa Impiyerno 292-294). Ang interaktibidad na ito ay higit na pinagsama kaysa sa dalawang broadcast sa TV.

3. Ang mga TV Channel ay Impersonal, ngunit ang Espirituwal na Koneksyon ay Napakapersonal:

Ang isang channel sa TV ay tinatanggap lamang nang pasibo. Ang ating espirituwal-natural na koneksyon ay nagsasangkot ng tunay, buhay na mga relasyon—sa Panginoon, mga anghel, at mga espiritu, kahit na hindi sinasadya. Hindi nakuha ng pagkakatulad ang personal, dinamiko, at may layuning relasyon na ito (Langit sa Impiyerno 600).

4. Hindi sapat na naghahatid ng ugnayang sanhi-bunga:

Lahat ng natural ay may espirituwal na pinagmulan; ang natural na mundo ay isang epekto mula sa espirituwal bilang sanhi (Langit sa Impiyerno 8991). Ang mga channel sa TV ay umiiral nang nakapag-iisa sa isa't isa, habang sa katunayan ang natural na mundo ay maaari lamang umiral at mananatili dahil sa espirituwal (Banal na Pag-ibig at Karunungan 55).

Buod: Ang analogy ng channel sa TV ay nakakatulong na ilarawan ang magkahiwalay ngunit magkasabay na pag-iral at ang pagbabago ng kamalayan sa kamatayan, ngunit kulang ito sa pagkuha ng buhay, intimate, causative, at interactive na kalikasan ng relasyon sa pagitan ng espirituwal at natural na mundo na itinuro sa doktrina ng Bagong Kristiyano.

603. What I have been saying in this book about heaven, the world of spirits, and hell, will be obscure to people who find no delight in knowing about spiritual truths; but it will be clear to people who do have this delight, especially to people involved in an affection for truth for its own sake — that is, people who love truth because it is true. Anything that is loved enters into the concepts of our minds with light, especially when what is loved is true, because all truth is in the light.

[2] References to Passages in Secrets of Heaven Concerning Our Freedom, Inflow, and the Spirits Who Are the Means of Communication.

On Freedom. All freedom is a matter of love or affection, because whatever we love, we do freely: 2870, 3158, 8907 [8987?], 8990, 9585, 9591. Since freedom is a matter of love, it is the life of every individual: 2873. Nothing seems to be part of us unless it comes from freedom: 2880. There is a heavenly freedom and a hellish freedom: 2870, 2873-2874, 9589-9590.

Heavenly freedom comes from heavenly love, or a love of what is good and true: 1947, 2870, 2872, and since a love of what is good and true comes from the Lord, we are truly free only when we are led by the Lord: 892, 905, 2872, 2886, 2890-2892, 9096, 9586-9587, 9589-9591. The Lord brings us into heavenly freedom through regeneration: 2874-2875, 2882, 2892. We need freedom in order to be regenerated: 1937, 1947, 2876, 2881, 3145-3146, 3158, 4031, 8700. Otherwise the love of what is good and true could not be sown in us and become so much a part of us as to seem to be our own: 2877, 2879-2880, 2888. Nothing is united to us that happens under compulsion: 8700, 2875. If we could be forcibly reformed, everyone would be saved: 2881. Compulsion in matters of reformation is destructive: 4031. All worship offered in freedom is worship, but not what is offered under compulsion: 1947, 2880, 7349, 10097. Repentance needs to happen in a state of freedom, and if it happens in a state of compulsion, it does not work: 8392. Just what a state of compulsion is: 8392.

[3] We are allowed to act from the freedom we have as rational beings, so that good may be provided to us; we therefore have a freedom of thinking and intending evil as well, and even of doing it to the extent that the laws do not prevent it: 10777. The Lord holds us between heaven and hell and therefore in a balance so that we can be in freedom for the sake of our reformation: 5982, 6477, 8209, 8907 [8987?]. What is sown in freedom stays with us, but not what is sown under compulsion: 9588. So freedom is never taken away from anyone: 2876, 2881. The Lord does not compel anyone: 1937, 1947.

To compel oneself stems from freedom, but being compelled does not: 1937, 1947. We ought to compel ourselves to resist evil: 1937, 1947, 7914; and to do good as well, apparently on our own, but still recognizing that it comes from the Lord: 2883, 2891-2892, 7914. We become more solidly free in those temptation struggles in which we win, because then we are inwardly compelling ourselves to resist, even though it does not seem that way: 1937, 1947, 2881.

[4] Hellish freedom is being led by love for oneself and love for the world and by their cravings: 2870, 2873. This is the only freedom people in hell know: 2871. Heavenly freedom is as remote from hellish freedom as heaven is from hell: 2873-2874. Hellish freedom, which is being led by love for oneself and love for the world, is not freedom but slavery: 2884, 2890. So slavery is being led by hell: 9586, 9589-9591.

[5] On Inflow. Everything we think and intend flows in; [learned] from experience: 904, 2886-2888, 4151, 4319-4320, 5846, 5848, 6189, 6191, 6194, 6197-6199, 6213, 7147, 10219. Our ability to look into things, think, and draw analytic conclusions comes from inflow: 1288 [1285?], 4319-4320. We could not live for a moment if we were deprived of the inflow from the spiritual world, [from] experience: 2887, 5849, 5854, 6321. The life that flows in from the Lord varies depending on our state and our openness to it: 2069, 5986, 6472, 7343. In evil people, the good that flows in from the Lord is turned into evil, and the truth into falsity; from experience: 3643 [3642 or 3743], 4632. We accept the good and true things that flow in from the Lord to the extent that what is evil and false does not bar the way: 2411, 3142, 3147, 5828.

[6] Everything good flows in from the Lord and everything evil from hell: 904, 4151. Nowadays people believe that everything is in themselves and from themselves, when actually everything is flowing in, as they might learn from the doctrine of the church, which teaches that everything good comes from the Lord and everything evil from the devil: 4249, 6193, 6206. If our belief were in accord with doctrine, we would not claim evil as our own or make good our own: 6206, 6324-6325. How happy our state would be if we believed that everything good flows in from the Lord and everything evil from hell: 6325. People who deny heaven or know nothing about it do not realize that there is any inflow from it: 4322, 5649, 6193, 6479. What inflow is, illustrated by comparisons: 6428 [6128?], 6480 [6190?], 9407.

[7] All of life flows in from the first wellspring of life because this is its source; and it is constantly flowing in, so it comes from the Lord: 3001, 3318, 3237 [3337?], 3338, 3344, 3484, 3619, 3741-3743, 4318-4320, 4417, 4524, 4882, 5847, 5986, 6325, 6468-6470, 6479, 9276, 10196. The inflow is spiritual and not physical, which means that the inflow is from the spiritual world into the natural and not from the natural into the spiritual: 3219, 5119, 5259, 5427-5428, 5477, 6322, 9110-9111 [9109?]. The inflow comes through the inner person into the outer, or through the spirit into the body, and not the other way around, because our spirit is in the spiritual world and our body in the natural world: 1702, 1707, 1940, 1954, 5119, 5259, 5779, 6322, 9380 [9110?]. The inner person is in the spiritual world and the outer in the natural world: 978, 1015, 3628, 4459, 4523-4524, 6057, 6309, 9701-9709, 10156, 10472. It seems as though there were an inflow from our outer natures into our inner, but this is an illusion: 3721. There is an inflow into our rational workings and through these into our information processing, and not the other way around: 1495, 1707, 1940. What the pattern of inflow is like: 775, 880, 1096, 1495, 7270. The inflow comes directly from the Lord and indirectly through the spiritual world or heaven: 6063, 6307, 6472, 9682-9683. The inflow from the Lord comes into what is good in us and through that good into what is true, but not the other way around: 5483 [5482?], 5649, 6027, 8685, 8701, 10153. What is good enables us to accept the inflow from the Lord, but not what is true apart from that good: 8321. Nothing that flows into our thought harms us, only what flows into our volition, because this becomes part of us: 6308.

[8] There is a general inflow: 5850. This is a constant energy favoring action in keeping with the design: 6211. This is what flows into the lives of animals: 5850; and also into the members of the vegetable kingdom: 3648. Further, our thought descends into speech and our intentions into actions and modes of behavior according to this general inflow: 5862, 5990, 6192, 6211.

[9] On Agents. The spirits who are sent out from communities of spirits to other communities or to individual spirits are called "agents": 4403, 5856. Communications in the other life take place by means of emissary spirits like these: 4403, 5856, 5983. Spirits who are sent out to act as emissaries do not think for themselves but think from the spirits who commissioned them: 5985-5987. More about these spirits: 5988-5989.
