“The Kingdom of Heaven Mystically and Psychologically Understood”

Throughout the New Testament, there is more said by Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven by far than about any other subject of which he spoke. This of course makes sense when one considers that he told the disciples to go forth into the world and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. The reason for all of this was that Jesus’ whole presentation of spiritual reality rested upon the concept and the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven.

About 2,000 years ago, during his lifetime on earth, Jesus told people, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” He also stated, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” Above all else that Jesus communicated to people was the importance he placed on the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus put this emphasis on the Kingdom of Heaven because more than anything else, it was the greatest spiritual value that he could bring to people.

“Channeling God”

Note these words of Christ in the New Testament which contain a great mystical truth: “I speak to them, not in words of men, but in words of spirit.” Spirit, as Christ referred to it, meant God. In effect, he was saying that it was God speaking through him. The Jesus part of his personality, or his personal ego mind, was set aside so that God’s Presence or Spirit could speak directly through him.

In the latter part of the twentieth century, the practice of channeling became popular among many people. They would gather to hear words of wisdom spoken, supposedly, through higher beings; gods, goddesses, spirit guides, and angels. No matter which of these was the hypothetical source for the spoken channeling, all shared one common denominator, which was that all information came from an outside source. People seemingly received information from “something” outside their own minds.

Then, and up to the time of this writing, people doing the channeling had a shared belief; all claimed that what was being channeled was from a source other than God. This is easy to understand inasmuch as channelers, except perhaps for a few, claim to be mystics.

“The Prospering of a Thankful Attitude”

Being thankful is just as important to our success and happiness as being positive. Being thankful is the culmination of a positive attitude since a positive attitude leads us to something for which to be thankful. Thankfulness is positivity having come into fruition. Therefore, thankfulness is a demonstration of faith realized.

Having a thankful attitude as we go through our day can be as helpful in realizing our goals and dreams, as anything we can have in our consciousness. Most people in today’s world fail to achieve what they believe they want or need in life because they are not thankful enough for what they already have or have experienced.

Ultimately, all ideas that are good begin in the mind of God, which exists at the center of the human mind. The more we tune into the mind of God, the greater the likelihood that we will tap into, and intuitively experience, a creative idea energy that exists in the mind of God within us which can set into motion whatever is necessary to experience the good in our physical life reality.

“Psychic Energy, Momentum, and Success”

There’s an old cliché that says that most people do not succeed because they have nothing going for them. Others feel frustrated with their lives for lack of movement; all seems stale and motionless. Philosophically, psychologically, and spiritually it is indeed true that most individuals in today’s world are living lives of quiet frustration, with little to ignite or kindle the flame of the human spirit within them. It is as if life is one perpetual stalemate.

Life is lived, but only as a mechanical facade. Hope and optimism are perceived as the fantasizing of one’s childhood, replaced with an adult reality that diminishes a childlike wonderment as to life’s possibilities. Many feel almost trapped in a vacuum-like existence where only despair seems predictable. In such a state, people feel that their lives are at a halt, and that no matter what they seem to do, they do not appear to move from the same frustrating spot which has become all too familiar, with its demonstrations of barren productivity.
