NEBADONIA:  If you’ve read the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus Urantia book’s version of Jesus’ life], you know what a stumbling block this was for his [[apostles]].  Even at the time of the [Paper 179 - The Last Supper last supper] they were still arguing about who was to be in what position in the kingdom, in spite of the fact he had told them over and over again that the kingdom was [[Inner Life|within]].  Tonight I hoped to give you at least one or two of the many keys to this kingdom, this total personhood that you are, [[sharing]] your life with us.

You need not always be self-aware to be in this kingdom.  This is the [[wonder]] and the reward of self-forgetfulness, that you can go for a long time being highly conscious and experiencing other things, other people, without being in the picture--so to speak.  The kingdom within continues to [[grow]], sometimes, as Michael noted, even more fully for your not standing in your own [[light]].  You’ve suspended your [[Self Evaluation|self-centered evaluation]] of how things are affecting only you to really [[touch]] and mingle with your fellows; and now you have a fuller [[reality]] of them in your [[soul]].
