Right, just like Jesus saying “My kingdom is not of this world.” Which correlates to the admonition (is that from Paul?) about how Christians should be “in the world but not of it.” The point being, that Heaven is a perceptual state achievable through self-mastery and the radical re-prioritization of life towards service to others. It is not “of this world” because it is of the world reflected inside of each being through our inner states…

Which reminds me, I still need to put together that diagram. Will try to do that tonight. It basically is just a picture of a guy standing and the world is being funneled inside of him through all of his senses.

As far as I have found, this is the first person who expressed the idea “as without, so within”. He has some insight that I have found very helpful:

I think the so called original saying, “as above, so below”, was a deliberate obfuscation meant to daze and confuse.

The best way to live life, I discovered last night, is to live as though you are always on the verge of laughing about something.

that matches what I have found recently, and it is my daily aim now, to move into this zone, sometimes I only get as close as I can get.
