What are your expectations ? Quoting: Satya Revelations There are many different perspectives on exactly what the Kingdom is. Is it future for you? Why? Can it be achieved now? Why or why not ? Luke 17: 20-22 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. |

User ID: 77395904 United States 12/17/2021 08:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There was no interest, as usual. I think about it all the time, but just to fill it up with stuff. I consider it inevitable, because God did not create in vain. When I consider so much of what goes on, so much of what most people do, etc., I think it will be a sparsely populated place. I've only known a handful of people I want to see in the Kingdom of Heaven. Most people will have to get there on their own, or they will need to hold on hard to Jesus' coattails. I wish I could say better. 230 here, but 0 there. |

So what are you expecting to experience ? A good source material, Christian source material, is a classic monastic text called "The Cloud of Unknowing". Which is basically christian "zen". So, here's a Zen quote that is pretty straightfoward, saying essentially the same thing as that Christian text: Withdraw now from the invisible pounding and weaving of your ingrained ideas. Attain fulfillment and illuminate thoroughly. Light and shadow altogether forgotten. Drop off your own skin, and the sense-dusts will be fully purified. The eye then readily discerns the Brightness. - Zen master Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091–1157) |

User ID: 77395904 United States 12/17/2021 08:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have considered that my impression of human beings may be skewed by this being the "wicked generation" Jesus was talking about. Jesus might have hated wicked people even more than I do. He certainly sounded pissed when he said he would give them no miracles. Jesus won't help them. He demands absolute repentance from the Wicked Generation. It means they will have to reach the Kingdom of Heaven only by their own efforts. And they will surely be damned if they don't repent. Older generations seemed better to me, and many of them probably were. They were more deserving of miracles. 230 here, but 0 there. |

Quoting: Tomeko Dude the spirit world is earth too. I wouldnt say it was really "near" earth. Thats like saying its over there. Its right here. Its hard to recognize for the majority. And for me too! But once you catch a glimpse of it. You can't Un catch a glimpse of it really. It resides in people. Can you imagine a world were everyone got along and shared everything they thought they had? Ubuntu! Its only in us to make that happen. |
