Inside you is the kingdom of heaven….

Probably our universe God had given to us~

Not as good as heaven but things linked to us no one else has got, presents no one else has got- I couldn’t understand why not… the universe is big enough for us each to have our own planet…

When I think of Jesus saying that- it always come to mind… that one day I’ll be free from life constraints and with my clan in our own universe- probably a world wide internet connecting all of us together (one can hope) where we upload our pictures and videos- seeing each other’s universes….

Goshh I can dream..

But I think the kingdom is how we interpret it…

How do you? Something physical? Tangible??

Or a dream and void less??

Luke 17:21
[21]Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Personally,I think that the Kingdom of God within us is the same Kingdom where God's throne is. If the macrocosm has heaven, then we microcosmic beings have heaven within us too. But we do know that kingdoms have gates, and so we would definitely require the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to get into the Kingdom of Heaven within us. If Archangel Michael appears before us, then perhaps he is manifesting from within us since his home is in Heaven.
I think so.

Inside & all around. Hint: Inner cultivation/prayer

There have been a few times I managed to do something, I'm not sure how to put into words what I was doing or did exactly, connecting with God or the source or fully letting go of myself maybe makes some kind of sense. Not sure how to describe it. It's a shift in normal consciousness somehow. But yea my experience is it is not inside me. Everything is transformed me and that, in and out. The experience of what is outside totally changes. (obviously perceived inside as that is what the brain does...transforms light and sound waves in the brain into perception we perceive as external to us or outside us) Not sure how to say it as everything is the same, there's a tree, a church, a person but they are profoundly different as we are different. Only word that comes to mind is "shimmering." It's like instead of just seeing the thing it is inducing this feeling of wonder and amazement in it.

I think the Kingdom Of Heaven is here and now always has been. But to experience it, we have to completely let go of ourselves, our filters have to drop, then we see and experience the world as it is, the kingdom of heaven that is everywhere. The mystery and wonder of being alive.
