I was asked recently about my idea about the Kingdom of God?
The following was my reply.
G'day Ali
The kingdom of God, in
a religious sense I have no idea, what the kingdom of God means for one
religion isn't accepted by another religion.
What does it mean to me? I believe we are in
the kingdom of God, where not aware of this & some of us don't want to be
aware of this. As soon as we become spiritually aware enough to know we have
always been in the kingdom of God we realise all it took to know this was
awareness. Religion has tried to make us aware but at times people within a
certain religious order have gone astray, we are but human after all. Some
people say religion is dying a slow death mainly because of people with flaws
within these religious orders but I don't think so, religious people like
anything else will evolve & become aware of their errors within these
religious orders in time. We must be aware of the past & learn from it.
I had an experience a few months ago with the
souls of entities who were set on evil intent, they utterly fear awareness
beyond what they know, they just don't want to know. I felt a real kindred to
them because I could see within their souls they too were of the light, they
just didn't want to know this.
How & why become
set on evil intent? The controlling factors of the ego I believe has a lot to
do with it, once one becomes totally fixated to these controlling factors,
especially at the soul level, the soul no longer wants anything that will take
this control away. Imagine fearing to your utter depth of your soul in losing
control!!
Spirituality is about awareness &
releasing control not gaining it & this is where people within these
religious orders have gone off mark. The kingdom of God to me represents
awareness to the max.
Sorry if the above has offended anyone as that was not my
intention, my intention is to be honest & straight forward within my views &
beliefs to anyone who reads my posts. I am not what you would call a religious
person however I do realise the importance of religion within human society remembering
the word religion actually refers to a belief, creed or a conviction of any
kind however religious more or less refers to actual religious (spiritual) practices.
In saying this I do however practice in
sitting within my own quietness which of course you could call a religious
practice.
In all I call all of what is the kingdom of God or the
source or consciousness itself & I believe the more aware you are, differentiated
from knowledge, the closer you are to the kingdom of God or
the more connected you are to the source itself. All this I believe comes from
being aware & to do this we need to beware of the controlling factors of
the ego remembering this is where people in certain religious orders have gone
astray. Spirituality isn’t about control but releasing control, we must be
aware of this if we want things to change for the better.
One more thing, the reason I mentioned awareness being differentiated
from knowledge is knowledge can be controlling as opposed to spiritual awareness
releasing control!!
