Jesus tells us in Luke 17:21, Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven metaphysically is the Christ consciousness or the realm of divine ideas which are unlimited within you. Jesus also tells us in Luke 12:32, It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. So, everything within the realm of divine ideas is available to us. If this is true, that everything we can imagine is available to us, how come we struggle for the basic needs of life and are met with the turmoil of modern life?
The answer appears in the understanding that we are spiritual beings living in a physical body. We have so adapted to the physical body and material world that we live in that, we operate based on the laws of the physical, material body. Jesus, teaching and speaking from the spiritual part of him Self, was sharing spiritual laws that operate at a different vibration level, a level of Love.
Love does not vibrate at the level of anger, resentment, blame, anger, or victim thinking. These levels vibrate at the levels of the problems we might be experiencing of lack, poor relationships, disease, etc.
We live in a universe of infinite abundance all around us and wonder why we do not experience our share of that abundance. The abundance is there, we have just forgotten how to vibrate our feelings at the level of love and allow the doors of the universe to open the doors of abundance and joy to us as Jesus promised when he said, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
So how do we vibrate at the level of love and open up the doors to the Kingdom of Heaven. Again, Jesus gives us the answer in Luke 6:37 when he said, Judge not and you will not be judged, condemn not and you will not be condemned, forgive and you will be forgiven. And we might add, the doors to the Kingdom will open.
So, forgiveness, and releasing anger, resentment and hatred are the beginning of the keys to the Kingdom. Learning to forgive changes our vibration to a more amenable frequency of love that gets us closer to the pure Christ Self energy that throws open the doors to our promised spiritual kingdom that we are seeking.
Forgiveness is a major key to the pleasures of the Kingdom talked about in many of the world’s religions. On Sunday we will share the Buddhist Loving Kindness Blessing as a support in going back through our lives and releasing the memories that could be blocking our flow of good from the Infinite.
I love you,
