The Kingdom of Heaven is within us and all around us

Orbiting Earth

“They asked him: When is the Kingdom coming?

He replied: It is not coming in an easily observable manner. People will not be saying,

“Look, it’s over here” or “Look, it’s over there.”

Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is already spread out on the earth,

and people aren’t aware of it.” –

The Gospel of Thomas

 

Dear God and Goddess

What are we doing to this kingdom that you gave to us?

Why do we say heaven is in some far off place?

Why do we speak of a hell that exists nowhere else but inside of our tortured minds or hearts?

Why do we teach the lie of original sin when sin is what we learn when we have to substitute the false illusions of power and control and domination for co-operation, union, joining and love?

Teach us to look inside our own hearts and find love and express that love.

Open our minds and hearts in awareness of this kingdom around us.

Teach us to honour and presevere this kingdom you gave to us.

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.
