@Marlowe Faust Hi Marlowe, Thank you for bringing us back to the actual topic. Yes, I also believe that there is one ultimate truth about our existence that human beings can experience. But that statement alone doesn't tell us which direction to take. So my question at this point would be: What does a human being experience when moving toward God? Could that be what we call the Kingdom of Heaven? And if so, what exactly is the Kingdom of Heaven? And regarding your other remarks: I asked Rey a direct question about his teachings. I shared my own understanding to make it clearer where my question comes from and why I see a paradox in his teachings. I believe that in a spiritual community, this should be perfectly acceptable and should encourage an open discussion rather than be met with resistance.

@Marlowe Faust Hi Marlowe, Thank you for sharing your perspective. I think we're making something much more complicated than it needs to be. My original question was actually quite simple. Rey himself speaks about the "Kingdom of God" in his teachings. This is where my question comes from. In my understanding, when Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God, he referred to a spiritual reality beyond our material existence. Rey, on the other hand, speaks about one universal consciousness in which everything is connected. So I simply wanted to understand: What exactly is the Kingdom of God in Rey's understanding? How does it fit into his teaching of universal consciousness? And is there any place for true spiritual individuality within it? That's all I was asking. I shared my own spiritual understanding to explain why these questions arise for me and where I see a possible paradox. I wasn't asking Rey to adopt my beliefs. I was asking him to explain his own words within his own teaching. Instead, our conversation has largely become about my motives, my beliefs, and whether my questions qualify as an open discussion. To me, that has taken us away from the subject I originally wanted to explore. I respect your perspective, and I appreciate that you wanted to challenge mine. But I came to this community to exchange thoughts with people about God, the spiritual path, and what it means to move toward Him. And I don't feel that our conversation is taking me in that direction anymore. So I'd like to leave our discussion here, with respect and kindness. Thank you for the exchange, Marlowe. I wish you all the best. ❤️

@Adri Garcia I love your comment just as much, Adri 🙂 Thank you for sharing your experience. I really recognise myself in what you describe — especially being distracted by thoughts. In my old life, I truly trained myself to have a restless mind. And when I began to realise how easily it could pull me away… that really shook me. There I was, trying to stay focused, and suddenly I had spent two whole minutes somewhere in a thought loop 😅 Quite a discovery! And I can also imagine the challenges of living with your in-laws :) I have some myself — but we don’t speak the same language. And what a challenge it can be when you cannot simply talk to each other! The frustration, feelings of inferiority, boredom, apathy… quite something to discover in yourself. Especially when the visit happens in a cold month like November, there are only two rooms in the house to spend time in, and the television never seems to take a break… oooh 😅 Do you know that feeling? 😉 Thank you for blooming here, Adri. It’s lovely to hear from you 🙂

Dejan, I see value in this as a short-term technique. Speaking in the third person can create useful distance from thoughts and emotions and reduce identification with them. However, for the long-term spiritual path, I don’t see it as suitable. It remains a strategy of the mind managing itself. It reorganizes the ego rather than transcending it. As a tool for temporary clarity — yes. As a path toward deeper spiritual realization — no. Just my perspective

@Dejan Rakovic 🙏

Hi Jude, I think your question touches on something important: what should guide us if we don’t want to be led by the material desires of the body? However, I don’t think we can only choose between the body and reason. In my understanding, we are the personality that can choose between the suggestions of consciousness and turning towards the soul. Consciousness belongs to the material world, while the soul belongs to the spiritual world and opens our connection to God. For me, this is the duality of the human being—and the personality stands between these two poles, with the possibility of choice. Reason alone therefore tells me little about our spiritual direction. It depends on what it serves. Something that seems reasonable from the perspective of consciousness may lead us away from God. And turning towards God may initially seem unreasonable to the mind. If we don’t distinguish between these two poles, how can we recognise where our reasoning is leading us? :) Warm wishes, Erhard

I’m not sure I fully understood your question, but for me intention gives the direction. With the things that matter most, I want to know why I’m doing them — to grow, to change inwardly, and ultimately to move closer to God. That takes consistent work. At the same time, I think there’s a balance: don’t lose sight of the goal, but don’t live only for the result either. The actual work can only happen in the present moment. So maybe: keep the direction clear, but put your attention on the choice you’re making right now. 🙂
