Оглавление“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away . . . Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men . . . and God himself shall be with them . . . And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away” (Revelations 21:1-4).
Doesn’t this sound like the ideal life? A life where there is no sorrow, pain, or suffering. A life where there is no death. A life where God (Spirit) shall be with us. A life where God (Spirit) shall wipe away all the tears from our eyes. Can you even dare to imagine such a life? The purpose of this message is to teach us of just such a life; to teach us of the kingdom of God (Spirit) within. Having said this, I can think of no better way to begin this spiritual treatise than with a few questions to the aspirant. Did you know that the kingdom of God (Spirit) is within you? Did you know that within you is this kingdom of everlasting peace, joy, happiness, bliss, and plenty? Furthermore, did you know that within you is the throne of God (Spirit), and the fountain of eternal life? Did you know that within each and every one is the dwelling place of God (Spirit), and that God (Spirit) is within you? Do you want to know more?
If so, in the words of Father George Willie Hurley, “Come and go with us, spiritually, through the conclaves of Egypt, India, China, and Japan, and learn the secret of secrets, and bring peace upon the earth. The spiritual John said when the seventh angel shall sound there will be a great voice in heaven crying, the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his hosts” (Hurley, 1977).
