Jesus lived in a world of spiritual realizations far beyond that of which the average person has any understanding. Jesus discerned things of spiritual truth and as spiritual things must be spiritually understood, man has failed.
Jesus said, "Heaven is right here in the midst of you." Yet man thinks that heaven is a reward received in the afterlife for the righteous soul, a place of mansions and streets of gold, and for the Islamic man there will be many virgins and for the Mormon man, he will become a God over his own planet.
Jesus spoke of a Spiritual Reality that is invisible to the human mind. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes a prediction that to this day few people have understood. He says, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." In modern versions of the Bible, "meek" is translated as humble. Who are the meek or the humble, and what does it mean that they shall inherit the earth?
The meek are those who have awakened to their essential true nature. The meek are the egoless, people who have learned that ego and self is pure illusion, a manifestation of the human brain and thought. Blessed are those who awaken to this true nature of consciousness and recognize the same essence in all "others," all life-forms. They will live in a surrendered state and so feel their oneness with the whole and the Source(God). When life on earth becomes inseparable from the human consciousness that perceives and interacts with the constant Presence of God, then we will undertand what Jesus meant by, "Heaven is right here in the midst of you."
