Kingdom Within
Quote--->Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21
The Kingdom of God that we enter into is already within us. We enter the kingdom within much the same way we enter into deep meditative relaxation, or the way we enter into a fit of rage. The Kingdom (God) is a state of mind, a state of consciousness (Christ consciousness), that we are entering into.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21
In John 1:14God is made flesh (he is seen) and is among us.
In Luke 17:21 The kingdom (unseen) is within you.
It is my understanding the translated Greek word actually has 2 meanings depending upon use.
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? John 14:10
Again we have another reference that the kingdom (God) is literally within our mind, we just need to enter within to access it.
The false priests have taken away your key of knowledge because they told you not to enter into yourself.
Typical response to this line of thinking I get is.....
"Jesus said that the kingdom was among them not inside their bodies."
Our "bodies" are an illusion, they are temporary and do not last eternally. When the bible speaks of us, our being, it is talking about our eternal being or our mind, not our temporary physical body. Our physical bodies will turn to dust, but our spiritual body (our higher mind) is eternal. When the bible says the kingdom is within us it is saying the kingdom is within our eternal consciousness or our mind.
This is a hard concept to grasp for people who believe this physical world is all there is. This is a hard concept to grasp for people who think our consciousness arises from our brain. It is quite the opposite the physical world arises from consciousness itself, not the other way around.
I have heard it said many times "within" should be translated as "among" but I believe this to be a very fundamental error in perception. The physical world is little more than an illusion we are led to believe by our carnal mind. The carnal mind 100% believes this reality is real and takes everything very literally in its perceptions.
Be not a minister of the letter.

The wanting to become is stagnation. The "being now" is Life!"
