Human beings often struggle in recognizing that which is physical should not dominate our thoughts and deeds to the exclusion of that which is beyond physicality; for that which is eternal in its nature, quite logically, should be of more interest to us, because it is beyond both time and space. That is to say, to understand eternity means to understand that eternity has no known beginning and has no known ending, of which our objective should be to ask the question as to whether we as human beings are or are not eternal in our being. This signifies that to believe that God’s Kingdom is somehow only within a dimension that is beyond this world, and thereby up in space or contained in some external dimension, is not truly to understand the meaning of God’s Kingdom. In truth, God’s Kingdom is here with us now; it always will be, and it so follows that there is nowhere that God’s Kingdom is not. The reason we often fail to comprehend this is that we aren’t paying attention to what we should be paying attention to.
When we live in the physical we have a strong tendency to fixate upon not just the physical but also to permit our mind to deceive us, so as to come to the incorrect conclusion that that this world is all that there is; and for so many of those that believe in Heaven and Hell, they often believe that Heaven is only ours when we leave this earthly plane and that when we reach Heaven, we live within it, for eternity, which seemingly is based upon whether or not we have embraced a particular faith that thereby has permitted us to enter this Heavenly realm.
In reality, Heaven is not just some sort of different dimension that currently seems intangible to us, but it is a state of awareness. Those who are awake recognize not only what Heaven is, but they recognize that the Kingdom of God is all around us, and that it is our inability or non-desire to embrace this truth that precludes us from accepting this as the truth that it actually is.
In other words, there are none so blind as those who will not see. This is why each of us needs to spend some time examining not only our own life, but also examining the purpose behind it, because when we know not the purpose of living this will probably mean that we will consequently meander from place to place and have no fixed destination in mind, which will thereby signify that we will not be able to live a truly full and satisfying life.
All of the above is indicative that we need not wait, nor should we wait, to recognize that God’s Kingdom is not only within us but that it always surrounds us, of which, the sooner that we acknowledge this, the sooner we will become enlightened, and thereby behave and think in a manner consistent with the highest and best qualities of what we have abundantly been blessed with.
