Childlike Entry to the Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Reframe this verse as a description of an inner state rather than a rule imposed on you from without. The kingdom of God is the continual awareness of I AM, a state you enter not by striving but by freely choosing to imagine from the end. To 'receive' it is to surrender the habit of doubt and say yes to wonder; the child does not argue with reality, it accepts with joy. When the mind flows in quiet trust, the sense of separation falls away and you perceive the kingdom as your own living atmosphere. You are the I AM imagining, and your world responds to the movement of that imagined reality. The adult in you may demand proof; the child in you trusts first and verifies later, and so the inner door opens. By abiding in that state—feeling the end as already true, imagining scenes that reflect it—you enter now, here, in the present. Your life then becomes a demonstration that the kingdom is not distant, but the very atmosphere of your consciousness.
