Few things
intrigue me more than Jesus' teachings about the kingdom of God. He said
the kingdom is within so he must be talking about the inner
consciousness. Taking that
fundamental truth that our inner consciousness is the domain of God
within us, let us look at what he said about that kingdom. First, he said it
is like leaven, or baking yeast. It can be expanded throughout the
entire body and mind. We continually expand our inner being as we add
new yeast (awareness). It is also worthy of comment that heat expands
yeast. We can expand our inner God awareness by keeping our heart and
soul warm. Too much attention to the coldness in life that we face daily
in news accounts and in our own life circle will keep the soul from
expanding. It will keep our inner kingdom small. We do not need to go
and crawl in a hole but we need to be ever aware that the world can be
"too much with us." Our top priority is our happiness and
fulfillment, our inner growth and well-being. He said it is
like a seed. Seeds are powerful growth packages. One tiny seed can
produce a plant that will feed several families. It can produce a tree
with enough firewood to warm many homes. The seeds that make a
difference in our inner consciousness are kernels of truth that we bury
deep in our spiritual selves. It is those truths that keep setting us
free. He said it is
like a treasure hidden in a field. We expand our consciousness of great
good as we develop the habit of locating our own inner treasures. We all
have facets of greatness buried beneath the debris of painful old
experiences. Clearing away the debris, we are forever finding new
talents, and new personal attributes. Each time we discover
something new about our our selves, we expand our inner kingdon, our
inner consciousness. Working with our
leaven, truth seeds and hidden inner treasures we expand and shape
our consciousness -- our experience of the inner kingdom. Dalton's website
