Highlights

We all heard that in different kinds of religious Bibles or Scriptures, it is mentioned that there are seven heavens, there are different levels of consciousness. There is the Kingdom of God within, there is Buddha Nature, etc. These are some things that are promised beyond this world. So, what lies in the Kingdom of God? Why should we bother about the Kingdom of God if we already have enough work to do in the world and we have a job, we have secure houses, and we have enough loving relationships, etc.? Precisely, because we already have all these, we should be concerned about the Kingdom of God. It's actually just some level of higher consciousness. In scientific terms, we can say, it is a different - a higher level of knowledge, a higher level of wisdom. And this we can have access to, should we know how.
I guess it is just like the law of physics. You want to send some rocket into, beyond the gravity, you have to have a lot of pushing power behind that, and also when it flies very fast it also emanates some light. So I guess when we go fast into the beyond, we can radiate some Light also, and also we can hear the Sound. The Sound is the kind of Vibrational Power that pushes us into the higher levels. Now, there is a facility within us which is faster than any UFO can comply. That is our own soul. We call it spirit sometimes. Never goes out of order, except when we want to damage it by violating the universal precepts, violating the harmony of heaven and Earth, which is very simple to avoid.
And what is beyond this world that is better than our world? Everything that we can imagine and cannot imagine. Beyond our world, there are many different worlds. We could just put an example, like the one a little bit higher than us. What we call the Astral world in the Western terminology. In the Astral world, they have even one hundred and more different levels. And each level is a world of itself. And it represents our level of understanding. Its just like we go into the university, and then each grade as we go through the university, it represents our understanding more, about the universities teaching and then slowly we move to the graduation. In the Astral world, we will see many kinds of so-called miracles. Then we will even develop our literature talent which we didn't have before.
Now, if we go a little bit beyond this level to the Second Level, what we call Second, just for the sake of simplifying matters. The Second Level - then we will probably have a lot more abilities than the first one, and including the miracles. But the most striking achievement we can have at the Second Level is that, the eloquence, and the ability to debate. And no one seems to be able to conquer a person who has achieved the Second Level because he has tremendous power of eloquence, and his intellect is at the peak of his power. In India, people call this level Buddhi means intellectual level. And when you achieve Buddhi, you become a Buddha. It's not yet the end of the Kingdom of God, there are the Third, the Forth, the Fifth Levels¡KAnd beyond that, there are many aspects of God, which are difficult to understand. Once we experience it, then we know.
We may have experiences one time, for a couple of times or some days due to the power of that a Master who experienced God. Then we might see some Light or hear some Sound, very naturally without our effort, but in most cases, it doesn't last very long. So, we have to be persistent in that, and we have to truly be sincere.
