20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. -Luke 17:20-21 Bible, King James Version
No one can see or enter into the Kingdom of Heaven until they have opened up the Kingdom of Heaven within themselves. The Higher Chakras within the human body are secret doorways to the Higher Heavens. For example, the person whose Heart Chakra is open in the Inner Worlds will be able to see a Sun before them in the sky which is in this inner reality the Heaven which corresponds to the Light of God radiating from that person's Heart Chakra. If an individual is not filled with the Light of Heaven he or she will not be able to see Heaven but instead a world which corresponds to their lesser light. Those who are filled with darkness will find themselves in a hell simply because this is the world which corresponds to their inner light.
The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling
CHAPTER 33.
8 And Jesus said... 10 ...just open up the windows of your hearts, and, like a flood of light, a heaven will come and bring a boundless joy...

Chapter 40
Jesus teaches the magians. Explains the Silence and how to enter it...1. Now, in the early morning Jesus came again to teach and heal. A light not comprehended shown about, as though some mighty spirit overshadowed him.
2. A magus noted this and asked him privately to tell from whence his wisdom came, and what the meaning of the light.
3. And Jesus said, There is a Silence where the soul may meet its God, and there the fount of wisdom is, and all who enter are immersed in light, and filled with wisdom, love and power.
4. The magus said, Tell me about this Silence and this light, that I may go and there abide.
5. And Jesus said, The Silence is not circumscribed; is not a place closed in with wall, or rocky steeps, nor guarded by the sword of man.
6. Men carry with them all the time the secret place where they might meet their God.
7. It matters not where men abide, on mountain top, in deepest vale, in marts of trade, or in the quiet home; they may at once, at any time, fling wide the door, and find the Silence, find the house of God; it is within the soul.
8. One may not be so much disturbed by noise of business, and the words and thoughts of men if he goes all alone into the valley or the mountain pass.
9. And when life's heavy load is pressing hard, it is far better to go out and seek a quiet place to pray and meditate.
10. The Silence is the kingdom of the soul which is not seen by human eyes.
11. When in the Silence, phantom forms may flit before the mind; but they are all subservient to the will; the master soul may speak and they are gone.
12. If you would find this Silence of the soul you must yourself prepare the way. None but the pure in heart may enter here.
13. And you must lay aside all tenseness of the mind, all business cares, all fears, all doubts and troubled thoughts.
14. Your human will must be absorbed by the divine; then you will come into a consciousness of holiness.
15. You are in the Holy Place, and you will see upon a living shrine the candle of the Lord aflame.
16. And when you see it burning there, look deep into the temple of your brain, and you will see it all aglow.
17. In every part, from head to foot, are candles all in place, just waiting to be lighted by the flaming torch of love.
18. And when you see the candles all aflame, just look, and you will see, with eyes of soul, the waters of the fount of wisdom rushing on; and you may drink, and there abide.
19. And then the curtains part, and you are in the Holiest of All, where rests the Arc of God, whose covering is the Mercy Seat.
20. Fear not to lift the sacred board; the Tables of the Law are in the Ark concealed.
21. Take them and read them well; for they contain all precepts and commands that men will ever need.
22. And in the Ark, the magic wand of prophecy [Moses' rod?] lies waiting for your hand; it is the key to all the hidden meanings of the present, future, past.
23. And then, behold, the manna there, the hidden bread of life; and he who eats shall never die.
24. The cherubim have guarded well for every soul this treasure box, and whosoever will enter in and find his own.
25. Now Kaspar heard the Hebrew master speak and he exclaimed, Behold, the wisdom of the gods has come to men!
26. And Jesus went his way, and in the sacred groves of Cyrus, where the multitudes were met, he taught and healed the sick.
CHAPTER 68.
11Men call me Christ, and God has recognized the name; but Christ is not a man. The Christ is universal love, and Love is king.
12This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations overcome, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which Christ can manifest to men.
13Then hear, you men of Israel, hear! Look not upon the flesh; it is not king. Look to the Christ within, who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.
14When you have purified your hearts by faith, the king will enter in, and you will see his face.
15And then the people asked, What must we do that we may make our bodies fit abiding places for the king?
16And Jesus said, Whatever tends to purity in thought, and word, and deed will cleanse the temple of the flesh.
CHAPTER 116.
12...The good shine forth as suns in the kingdom of the soul.
CHAPTER 135.
10And Jesus said... 11I go my way and you shall find me not; for where I go you cannot come, because you do not know the way. 12You cannot find the way because your hearts are gross, your ears are dull, your eyes are closed. 13The light of life cannot shine through the murky veil that you have drawn about your hearts. 14You do not know the Christ and if the Christ be not within the heart there is no light.
HEAVEN AND HELL by Emanuel Swedenborg, London, 1758.
CHAPTER 36:319. "That the heathen equally with Christians are saved anyone can see who knows what it is that makes heaven in man; for heaven is within man, and those that have heaven within them come into heaven."
The Great Cosmic Angel on whose crown blazes the word "Union's" teaches us that; "The outer world's incessant Demand upon your time, attention, upon your energy, and upon your feeling world, is the thing that has hypnotized mankind into the belief, that the outer is more important than the inner!" ('The Voice of the I AM' 1948 December p40)
