Quote:The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. (Mr 1:15)

Quote:The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of/within you. (Luke 17:20-21)

"Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est." Translation: Where charity and love are, God is there. (early Christian hymn)

Quote:My kingdom is not of this world. (Jn 18:36)

You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. (Mt 20:25-26)

The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Mt 23:11-12)

Quote:By this we know that we reside in God and he in us: in that he has given us of his Spirit. (1 Jn 4:16)

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. (Mt 5:8)

Quote:When we think of a king or a kingdom, we imagine a dictator imposing his will on a helpless populace, draining them of their resources to be used for his own personal aggrandizement. Even if we picture him as a benevolent despot, he is at best an efficient bureaucrat. But when we speak of God and the concept of kingdom, we refer to a completely different model /.../ The real teacher is the one who inspires his students, so that they realize that their own real feelings and values are those espoused by their teacher. This is malchut in the true sense. It is God's actions and attributes – not as expressed by God, but rather as human beings express them. It is as if God's actions have struck a resonant chord in us, and we thereby act in a similar manner.

/.../ The first nine [sephirot] are a continuous stream of God's actions which strike humanity and affect us. When we then absorb these influences of God, find them in ourselves, change and thereby reflect God's glory – then we evince malchut.

It is in this sense that this is the most important sefirah. In malchut, God does not act merely by Himself, but rather God acts through us.

Malchut is the goal that God had in mind when He created the world. All of the other sefirot are only the means to see malchut emerge.

In relating to the first nine sefirot, we are outside observers – admiring God's handiwork objectively. We may be impressed but somehow it never quite becomes an overwhelming experience. It is only when we hear the voice of God echoing from within us – which is malchut – that we are truly transformed.

Quote:11.17 Questioner: At what stage does a planet achieve social memory?

Ra: I am Ra. A mind/body/spirit social complex becomes a social memory complex when its entire group of entities are of one orientation or seeking. The group memory lost to the individuals in the roots of the tree of mind then become[s] known to the social complex, thus creating a social memory complex. The advantages of this complex are the relative lack of distortion in understanding the social beingness and the relative lack of distortion in pursuing the direction of seeking, for all understanding/distortions are available to the entities of the society.

Quote:38.6 Questioner: Is it possible for a third-density planet to form a social memory complex which operates in third density?

Ra: I am Ra. It is possible only in the latter or seventh portion of such a density when entities are harmoniously readying for graduation.

Quote:15.18 Questioner: I ask this question because I’ve heard about the Elder Race before in a book, Road in the Sky, by George Hunt Williamson, and I was wondering if this Elder Race was the same that he talked about?

Ra: I am Ra. The question now resolves itself, for we have spoken previously of the manner of decision-making which caused these entities to remain here upon the closing of the second major cycle of your current master cycle. There are some distortions in the descriptions of the one known as Michel; however, these distortions have primarily to do with the fact that these entities are not a social memory complex, but rather a group of mind/body/spirit complexes dedicated to service. These entities work together, but are not completely unified; thus, they do not completely see each the other’s thoughts, feelings, and motives. However, their desire to serve is the fourth-dimensional type of desire, thus melding them into what you may call a brotherhood.

I think that could be possible.

Quote:The whole congregation of believers was united as one—one heart, one mind! They didn’t even claim ownership of their own possessions. No one said, “That’s mine; you can’t have it.” They shared everything.  (Acts 4:32 MSG)

Thank you for making this posting because I think it’s an accurate perception of true reality.

*edit* I wanted to comment on some other things as well. I take Malkuth (of assiah, that is) to be the realm of the physical. It is the receptacle of all of the previous Emenations. Shekinah is the divine presence represented by a beautiful young woman. She sitteth upon the throne of her mother (Binah- Understanding). Shekinah is with us when we hold to God’s Law. There’s a curious connection between Kether and Malkuth as well. So you are not wrong to say, in one sense,  that Malkuth is the kingdom of God.

In the LOO philosophy, I would consider the Kingdom of God to be a positive fourth density. As you said, it’s here now, in our hearts. So we could take the Kingdom of God to be a state of consciousness involving the fully opened heart. On the Tree of Life, this is Tiphareth who reflects Kether. “None get to Father but through me.” We are evolving up the Middle Pillar.

Now, maybe I’m wrong here. I’m still new to studying Qabalah but this is what I interpret thus far.

Quote:27.6 Questioner: I’d like to expand a little on the concept of work. In Newtonian physics [the] concept of work is what we call a force which moves through space, it’s the product of force and distance as we measure it. I’m assuming that the work of which you speak is a much broader term including possibly work in consciousness. Am I correct?

Ra: I am Ra. As we use this term it is universal in application. Intelligent infinity has a rhythm or flow as of a giant heart beginning with the central sun as you would think or conceive of this, the presence of the flow inevitable as a tide of beingness without polarity, without finity; the vast and silent all beating outward, outward, focusing outward and inward until the focuses are complete. The intelligence or consciousness of foci have reached a state where their, shall we say, spiritual nature or mass calls them inward, inward, inward until all is coalesced. This is the rhythm of reality as you spoke.

Quote:I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jer 31:33)

And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. (Ez 11:19-20)

Quote:We may note at this point while you ponder the possibility/probability vortices that although you have many, many items which cause distress and thus offer seeking and service opportunities, there is always one container in that store of peace, love, light, and joy. This vortex may be very small, but to turn one’s back upon it is to forget the infinite possibilities of the present moment. Could your planet polarize towards harmony in one fine, strong moment of inspiration? Yes, my friends. It is not probable; but it is ever possible. (65.12)

Quote:17.22 Questioner: In our culture there is a great saying that he will return. Can you tell me if this is planned?

Ra: I am Ra. I will attempt to sort out this question. It is difficult. This entity became aware that it was not an entity of itself but operated as a messenger of the One Creator whom this entity saw as love. This entity was aware that this cycle was in its last portion and spoke to the effect that those of its consciousness would return at the harvest.

The particular mind/body/spirit complex you call Jesus is, as what you would call an entity, not to return except as a member of the Confederation occasionally speaking through a channel. However, there are others of the identical congruency of consciousness that will welcome those to the fourth density. This is the meaning of the returning.

Quote:Happy is he who elevates his faith in God, taking the Divine Presence, which consists of Ten Sayings, and placing it in a single thought, a single desire, without any admixture whatsoever. Each and every Sefirah (Divine Emenations) is planted in it, and it is the Garden in which all the Sefirot are one...

When a person wishes to unify the Blessed Holy One and His Divine Presence (the male and female aspects of the Divine), he must banish all other thoughts. [Such thoughts] are the Klipot (husks), regarding which it is written, “There are many thoughts in the heart of man” (Proverbs 19:21). One must then bring the Divine Presence into his mind, as the verse continues, “But the council of God will abide.”

When a man comes together with his wife, he must remove all clothing, to be together with her as one, as it is written, “They shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:21). In a similar manner, one must remove all other [thoughts, which serve as the soul’s] garments, when he makes the Unification twice each day, declaring, “Hear O Israel, God is our Lord, God is One” (Deuteronomy 6:4).

Quote:Meditation is primarily a means of attaining spiritual liberation. Its various methods are designated to the transcendental, spiritual realm. One who accomplished this successfully is said to have attained Ruach HaKodesh, The “Holy Spirit,” which is the general Hebraic term for enlightenment.

Quote:"Shekinah" therefore refers to the presence of God that was /.../ physically manifested in the time-space continuum. It could be seen.
