The core of Jesus’ frustration with his disciples…

“The kingdom is already here—but you keep looking for it with your eyes instead of your being.”

He wasn’t pointing toward a distant throne or a far-off cloud.

He was saying:

It is right here. Right now. In this breath. In this presence. In this love. In this justice. In the silence behind your thoughts.

But the disciples—like most of us—were trapped in dualistic perception:

· Heaven is there; we are here

· Sacred is then; ordinary is now

· Divine is up; human is down

They wanted a kingdom they could see—flags, palaces, power.

He offered a consciousness they could be—awake, compassionate, free.

It’s like trying to explain the wind🌪️ to someone who’s never felt it.

You can see the branches move.

You can feel it on your skin.

But if you demand to see the wind itself—you’ll always miss it.
