The Kingdom of Heaven IS you

You have never understood what “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you” means.

The reason you cannot understand it is because it is NOT understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if something outside is inside, which does not mean anything.

The word “within” does not belong.

The Kingdom of Heaven IS you.

What else BUT you did the Creator create, and what else but you IS His Kingdom?

When you are sad, KNOW that this NEED NOT BE. Depression ALWAYS arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have. KNOW you are deprived of nothing, except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise.

GOD HAS GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING.

If you cannot hear the voice of God, it is because you do not choose to listen. The fact that you DO listen to the voice of your ego is demonstrated by your attitudes, your feelings, and your behavior. Your attitudes are obviously conflicted; your feelings have a narrow range on the negative side, but are never purely joyous; and your behavior is either strained or unpredictable.

When your mood tells you that you have willed wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then KNOW this need not be. Yet this IS what you want. This is what you are fighting to keep, and what you are vigilant to save.

Where you look to find yourself is up to you. You cannot change your mind by changing your behavior, but you CAN change your mind.

You can be as vigilant AGAINST the ego’s dictates as FOR them.
