2. The Kingdom of Heaven
What is the Kingdom of Heaven?
The Kingdom of Heaven is neither a social nor economic order; it is an exclusively spiritual brotherhood of God-knowing individuals.
The recognition that there is a spirit within and that there is purpose and a plan, this is part of the development of the awareness of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Once one has entered the kingdom, they can explore the variations, the nuances of citizenship. Universe citizenship is the recognition that transforms the minds of those stuck in the ruts of a material life into a far deeper realization of what is possible and a deep desire to get there.
The 5 cardinal features of the good news of the kingdom are:
- Pre-eminence of the individual.
- Will as determining factor.
- Sonship with God the Father.
- The loving service of men.
- Transcendency of the spiritual over the material.
These can be summarized as: The Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
- The keys of this Kingdom are: sincerity, more sincerity, and even more sincerity.
- The two essentials for entering the kingdom are: sincere faith and truth hunger.
Truth Beauty and Goodness represent man’s highest approach to mind, matter, and spirit.
- Truth relates to science, Beauty to art, Goodness embraces ethics, morality, and religion.
- Spirituality enhances the ability to discover Beauty in things, Truth in meanings, and Goodness in values.
- Our senses tell us of things, mind discovers meanings, but spiritual experience reveals true values.
