If the Kingdom of God Is Within You, Then Who Are You?

As Mooji shares about the freedom of non-doing and reflects on some stories from the Bible, these rich and simple contemplations emerge. The emphasis is to become free of concepts and to confirm the place of total peace, joy and natural completeness.

“Greater than all the kingdoms of the world is inside us. If the Kingdom of God is within you, who are you?

It’s like putting a mirror in front — God’s mirror. This mirror is Satsang actually.

All this Satsang has been preparing you just to accept yourself.”

In answer to Bill's question about what is to happen in the coming months of late 2020, I opened the Big Blue Book randomly...

The Transition, pg 550

To you who still believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you through the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in time, though it has long gone. You think you live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago, before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one illusion still remains unanswered in your mind. Uncertainty was brought to certainty so long ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to your heart, as if it were before you still.

The tiny instant you would keep and make eternal, passed away in Heaven too soon for anything to notice it had come. What disappeared too quickly to affect the simple knowledge of the Son of God can hardly still be there, for you to choose to be your teacher. Only in the past, - an ancient past, too short to make a world in answer to creation, - did this world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such a tiny interval of time, that not one note in Heaven's song was missed. Yet each unforgiving act or thought, in every judgement and in all belief in sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could be made again in time. You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of where he is.

.....

Is this a hindrance to the place whereon he stands? Is any echo from the past that he may hear a fact in what is there to hear where he is now? And how much can his own illusions about time and place effect a change in where he really is?

.....

Forget the time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can a sin withstand the Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past and put it into the present?

.....

The shadow voices do not change the laws of time nor of eternity. They come from what is past and gone, and hinder not the true existence of the here and now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination time and death are real. And have existence that can be perceived. This terrible illusion was denied in but the time it took for God to give His Answer to illusion for all time and every circumstance. And then it was no more to be experienced as there.

Each day, and every minute in each day, and every instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant when the time of terror took the place of love. And so you die every day to live again, until you cross the gap between the past and present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each life; a seeming interval from birth to death and on to life again, a repetition of an instant gone by long ago that cannot be relived. And all of time is but a mad belief that what is over is still here and now.

Forgive the past and let it go, for it is gone. You stand no longer on the ground that lies between worlds. You have gone on, and reached the world that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will of God, nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago. Look gently on your brother, and behold the world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of love.

(all emphasis mine)

I don't really fear death, but saying goodbye to my nearest and dearest.
I realize we may meet again but may not recognize each other.

Death is part of the process of the continuity of existence.

We will. The most painful part of death is indeed departing from our loved ones, for a certain amount of time which can at times feel like close to infinity. Yet this life is quite transient too and eventually we will meet again, no matter how much human time might pass. It doesn't take away the grief and longing, but it sure is a consolation if anything. When the time comes for me, I welcome death as a relief.

Seven thousand since a million -- unbelievable.
Seems some have their priorities right.
The only way out of this current situation is a raising of consciousness.
Some will say "We have to be doing something about it"
Since time began situations have been made worse by attempting to change it with the same level of energy that created it.

Raising the collective through raising ones own spiritual energy is a different kind of doing and it takes consistent --non effort ie meditation and knowledge -- the two wings of spiritual practise.

Thanks again to all who visit and all who contribute.

Now is eternity.

Past and future are finite, as such they have no substance or reality.

The finite is an illusion, a willful insistence that reality is not as it is, but exists as separate instants - a long line of effects without a cause...

The created cannot be the cause.
