A Paravipra Is a Person Who Has The
Kingdom Of Heaven Within
According
to our teaching, there are three kingdoms: The Kingdom Of
Heaven In Heaven (
),
The Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth which is based on the Communities
of Light (
),
and the Kingdom Of Heaven Within you, which every person creates
within themselves (
).
So there are three Kingdoms.
***
The
Kingdom Of Heaven In Heaven has already been established. That
is why God is in the center of The Greatest Sign. So
that is the Kingdom Of Heaven In Heaven (KOHIH), the large one (
)
in The Greatest Sign.
It includes
all the forces and sons of God whom He uses to guide His universe to
Pure Consciousness. Those who reach Pure Consciousness will
come back to this world, and in different levels and places help
humanity and the universe progress toward perfection. They
obey His Laws and accept their responsibilities (with gladness and
joy) in His Hierarchy (triangle upward) no matter how small they may
seem.
***
Then
there is a Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth which is the second seal (
)
and relates to the Old Testament, the Kingdom, and the
Communities Of Light, the communities that choose God as their
guidance.
***
The
Kingdom Of Heaven Within (
)
is when a person finds God in his or her Heart. It has nothing
to do with any organized religion, philosophy, or external
circumstance. It is a personal relationship between a man and
God. It is God within the temple of one’s body.
There is also
a hierarchy in this Kingdom (within). Each person realizes God
in a different level (hierarchy) within. Any person in a level
above another can teach the person below. That is why we have
so many teachers, each with a little knowledge, proclaiming to be
teachers and they do find followers, those who are a little below
them.
However, the
greatest teacher of all is The Christ (God) who teaches all levels
in the hierarchy and each one is a part of His Body.
***
We
have to all realize that each Kingdom is necessary. Each of
them are interrelated. The Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth will not
come without the Kingdom Of Heaven Within you. The Kingdom Of
Heaven Within you might come, but it is going to be very hard to
live on an earth where the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth has not come.
You might
become a good person, and connect yourself to God. But it is
very hard for a good person to live in a society where a lot of
people are not good. It is very hard for them, because they
are good, but the others are not.
So it has to
go hand-in-hand. That is why a person who goes through the
first five steps of the Eternal Divine Path creates the
Kingdom Of Heaven Within. And not only are these people good,
but they are also effective. They meditate; they do their
spiritual practices to be connected to God; they strive to create an
environment where the people are good, live together, and create a
community. In order to create this community, sacrifice, not
being self-centered, is necessary. Even with that, they have
to become submissive.
Submission
means you do your best and at the same time you surrender the
results to God. The reason we become depressed, the reason we
become unhappy, the reason we sometimes become too much elated but
then we are depressed after that, is because we are attached to the
results of our actions.
We do
something good, we become elated. We just jump all over.
Then tomorrow the thing we felt was good doesn’t happen the way we
want it, and we become completely down. So we go up and down
like a roller coaster.
But with
surrendering, we say, “God, it is really You who is the Doer and the
result is also Yours.” Better than surrendering is submission.
It means God is doing it through us.
So with that
we are going to become completely free from the results of our
actions. Also we will become a universalist. Being a
universalist means that you believe that there is One God, One Unity
in the Spirit, and everything is God. So how can you separate
between religions and religions, race and race, country and country,
philosophy and philosophy? There cannot be separation.
After
realizing these five steps is when you create the Kingdom Of Heaven
Within you. So not only do you create the Kingdom Of Heaven
Within, but you strive to bring the Kingdom Of Heaven without.
I go to the
mountains and meditate. I think I am such a wonderful person,
I am meditating all the time. Or I go to my room. Or I
go to my beach. I go to whatever place I have, cut myself off
from the world, and say, “What a wonderful person I am.” But
when I encounter society, I find out that I was just escaping from
truly seeing myself.
It is just
like that yogi who was meditating in the mountains for ten years.
He thought he was such a wonderful person. He was always happy
sitting there meditating, breathing such good air, etc. He
thought he was in control of his environment. One day he had
to go to town. He had no choice. He went to town.
With the first person who pushed him, he became so angry, and he
pushed him back.
Suddenly he
realized, “Wow, what am I doing? I thought I was such a good,
wonderful yogi. I thought I was completely in control of
myself. With the first push, I became so angry. What is
this?”
***
So
we believe the person who wants to create the Kingdom Of Heaven
Within has to be in the community, otherwise it is not going to
work. We do not believe in escapism. We do not believe
in going to the mountains, meditating up there, and saying, “Oh, I
am a wonderful yogi. I have all these siddhis (powers) and all
those things.”
If we can
create such people more and more, who have the Kingdom Of Heaven
Within and are striving to create the community together, eventually
we will connect these communities to one another. That is when
we will bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
***
Some
people believe, “The Kingdom Of Heaven is only within me.”
Some people say, “No, the Kingdom Of God has to come to earth, there
is no such thing as the Kingdom Of Heaven Within.” And some
people say, “No, we have to die and go to heaven in God’s Kingdom.”
We say, All of your are right, and at the same time, all of you are
wrong.
As we said,
there are really three kingdoms. When these three kingdoms
become one, then the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, Within you, and in
Heaven will be established. It is going to be in absolutely
the same image as the Kingdom Of Heaven In Heaven.
So in this
aspect also we will unify these different teachings that contradict
one another.
***
When
it is realized that the King of all these three Kingdoms is He, then
these three Kingdoms will become one and according to His Will.
The peace and tranquility will come to humanity, and all things will
be directed toward the goal of life and creation, which is to
be(come) Divine.
***
When
the Kingdom Of Heaven Within (
)
and the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (
)
are also established, then His Kingdom will come and His Will, will
be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
