Summary
"Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you, I think if he lived nowadays, instead of 'kingdom' he would have said, 'dimension'. And 'heaven' refers to a sense of vastness of spaciousness. So if we retranslate the words of Jesus into more modern terms, it would be 'the dimension of spaciousness is within you." - Eckhart Tolle
"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 18:3
"A child and a Sage (janani) are similar in a way. Incidents interest a child only so long as they last. It ceases to think of them after they have passed away. So then, it is apparent that they do not leave any impression on the child and it is not affected by them mentally. So it is with a Sage." - Ramana Maharshi
"Whatever happened, had to happen. Don't sit and think: "I could have done this or that.' It is of no use. Move on. " Ravi Shankar
Stay here, in the Kingdom, and Love will make you a King, protecting you so that you may protect and heal 'others', all while knowing that nothing is actually happening. Only Love is here.
I love you,
Nik

| 0:26.7 | heart told I said Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within you. I think if |
| 0:32.8 | he lived nowadays instead of kingdom he would have said dimension and heaven |
| 0:38.3 | refers to a sense of vastness or spaciousness. So if we re-translate the |
| 0:43.5 | words of Jesus into modern terms it would be that I mention of spaciousness |
| 0:47.9 | is within you. Close your eyes and find that dimension of spaciousness. |
| 0:56.2 | Recognize that it's already always the case it's right there. It's not even |
| 1:10.6 | buried under your thoughts. It's not ever buried under strong emotions. It's |
| 1:17.6 | not ever built by them or eclipsed by anger or fear. This loving quiet still |
| 1:34.7 | point is here. When you're aware of it the thoughts slow down and it's much |
| 1:50.9 | easier to recognize the dimension of spaciousness. It's always there even when |
| 2:01.0 | the thoughts are loud. In the beginning we practice |
| 2:20.1 | slipping in between the thoughts, hanging out in the gaps until we become so |
| 2:28.8 | familiar with this dimension of spaciousness that the conditions don't |
| 2:33.6 | matter. The inner conditions don't matter. The outer conditions don't matter. |
| 2:40.2 | We can't help but remember this. We can't help but be this. In the Bible and |
| 2:48.4 | Matthew 18 I think we're told that we can't enter the kingdom unless we become |
| 2:55.9 | like little children. Knowing what you know now, filling what you feel now. |
| 3:06.6 | What do you think that very famous Bible quote means? Unless you become like |
| 3:15.6 | little children. |
| 3:18.8 | Ramana Maharshi the great Indian saint said a child and a sage are similar in |
