But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches." Matthew 13:31 The kingdom of heaven lies within each individual as a spark of the flame, almighty God, whose nature is pure bliss consciousness (Sat-Chit-Ananda). Whan a man or woman set to cultivate this seed, it grows, first as Self Realization, then expands to God Realization (or the realization of the one God IN creation) and finally to Infinity or Brahman, Unity. This unfoldment supports all of nature and many come to rest in it's 'branches' like the birds of the field. The drop becomes the Ocean, Aham Brahmasmi, Tat tvam asi, and many other sayings. There never was anything other than the Ocean, all else was a maya or an illusion, or what MMY called 'Mithya', a seeming. May the birth of this Cosmic Consciousness be born in you this Christmas Season. Merry Christmas to one and all; ho, ho, ho.
