What does “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you”means to you personally?

[Mindy Audlin]

Based on Part II of our web Series with Deepak Chopra: Opening to the Path:

What does “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you”means to you personally?
How is it reflected in your life?
How might you bring this teaching into your life in a more intentional and consistent way?

For me it means that every human being has "bult-in" the capacity to evolve form a reactive mind (primitive and egotistic) to an higher level of consciouness in which every souls could touch and merge with the Universal Conciouness or God´s mind. I think regardless religion ,color and race, the Divine Spirit is always inviting all of us :"Come on, Look, there is not real separation, thus I am in you and you are in me...
I am trying to take that sense of UNITY with me wherever I go, whatever I am doing. I am trying to become the osbserver of myself, so whenever I become too much involved in external things or to anxious or stressed out, I intentionally take several deep breaths and look for THe Holy Spirit within and reconect with His healing energy.

I really love the part of God, being within me, that is. For me this means that I can travel light (dual meaning, not too much to carry, and illuminated) wherever my life and purpose take me knowing that God is ever present. I often refer to the Moses remarks like the one 'take off your shoes, you stand on holy ground'. Where was Moses when this occurred? What does that matter, to God. It means that wherever we are, we can tap into that infinite resource pool provided to us by our Creator.
Knowing this gives me more impetus to explore and co-create. At this time, I have begun to make connections with other Unity thinkers in Nigeria so that I will be able to say hello to them in person when I travel there to provide health care advisory services, nutrition education, acupuncture, and Hope. At least these are my goals, which I rest in the hands of the Creator to refigure as may be necessary.
To bring this into my life more intentionally and consistently, I am beginning to tell people what I am about and how it comes to me to do it. It seems like it is time to stand in the 'white light' of leadership so that others may see that light. I am 'all out of bushel baskets to hide my light under'. Be In Good Health.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you" is a sacred responsibility. It means I learn to love myself through forgiveness. Peace is the reflection. This responsibiliyt is currently teaching me about boundaries around food and relationships. The Kingdom of Heaven within requires that I treat myself with care.

Being aware in the present moment during daily life is a tremendous walk in trusting and grace. Honestly, just encountering life in all its unexpected wonderment while staying aware and present is a measure of the Kingdom of Heaven walking in these shoes, seeing out of these sockets. It is a miracle to be aware of and trust and love deepen with each recognition.

Tkhe "kingdom of Heaven" is consciousness, which is within every one of us. Meditation on this concept leads one into said "kingdom

This is so cool. I hope I am not too late to get involved in this discussion, I am just now learning how to use this forum. There is no better way for me to digest all of this incredible information than through discussion. I have little of that in the north country of Wyoming, so this is an especially delightful opportunity. "The Kingdom of Heaven..." means to me our connection or pipeline, if you will, to the Divine Creative Energy that seeks full expression through us. In my view we can open up this channel or close it off, to varying degrees. I feel that often in relating to my family and through my art. When I am "on track", "tuned in" or have the pipe line fully open my work takes on a different feeling completely. The struggle is gone. My goal right now is to work on ways to open the channel more and in more aspects of my life and keep it open. I especially liked Depak Chopras words about refocusing on the moment and love, our source, to get away from the negative thoughts that serve only to close the channel.

Wow, Meredith, Wyoming is a wonderful place to be a part of art. It is great that you have mastered the 'art' of Unity.FM, too. Learning and putting new tools to work can be very fulfilling.
It is that feeling of being in the 'zone' that helps me, like your "on track" or 'tuned in' phrase, to know and feel my connectedness with God and all humanity that is God.

Thanks Laura. I am fortunate to live here, especially as my passion is expressing my absolute fascination and love for nature through painting. I hope Mindy keeps up the questions as I am just now listening to Deepak Chopra's Interview with Wendy and am completely blown away on how right his words are for me. He also addresses my need to connect with others in like consciousness. What a gift this website is. I can't wait to tithe from the sales of my paintings BECAUSE of what I have learned from Unityfm....thank you Wendy.... my thanks go far deeper than words can express.

To me it means who I truly AM. My real life! Not this temporary body which comes and goes...
Given that as human beings we consist of 2 parts (eternal True Self and a temporary ego), it ultimately means "the opposite of ego". And the opposite of ego is to serve all live beings around and to sacrifice myself for this Divine job of the universe which has to be done. So it is also a call of duty.

[Sylvia Benevides]

To me it means that God is within me regardless of what I am experiencing, growing though or regrets I have in life. It means that I am a part of God and regardless of the twist and curves to the journey there can be peace and joy even when life doesn't appear to be working the way I thought it was. As long as there is life the lessons are not over, and staying fully present so the light within me continues to help me find my path to continue my journey as it is intended to be traveled. Now to take this personally prespective of the kindgom of heaven within me and understand more of how to live in unity and harmony with the other aspects of God that unites us is still a journey I am taking.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within me becasue I have found the Inner Peace, which I seek for. Living a life of Bliss/No Complain makes me to realize that I am the only one importnat to activate the Kingdom of Heaven here and now.

I bring this Teahcing to my life by making sure that people that work for me in my office feel at peace at all time. and allow them to know that YES they can do it alone.
