"The distinction between heart an mind is just as artificial; Chinese for example has only one word for our two. So I hereby retract "mind" in The Enlightened Mind and "prose" in An Anthology of Sacred Prose. And come to think of it; I'd also like to retract Enlighsacred; tened. (The Buddha said, "Please don't think that when I attain enlightenment, it was anything that I attained.") As for sacred; "Throw away sacredness and wisdom," Lao Tzu said, "And people will be a hundred times happier."
What are we left with? Let's just say that this book is a testimony of those who have seen God's face in the mirror, a collection of good words from the kingdom of here and now: much ado about nothing."
"The Kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation; nor will people say, "Here it is" or "There it is", because the Kingdom of God is within you." -Yeshuah
I'm going to repeat that, just to ensure it permeates your consciousness. "The Kingdom of God is within you." Do you realize what that means? Does any of us truly grasp the levity of that statement? We are always taught that heaven is this magical place with gold lined streets and mansions everywhere. Why? Why do we imagine a heaven that is based on material, worldly wealth?
Oh if only we could see. Have we learned nothing? His essence embodies us. Heaven is within us. His goal, is that it would bubble out of us and cover this dying earth, thus creating, "heaven on earth". The ball is in our court. Let's play.
