The "Kingdom of God" is an often repeated phrase in the New Testament. What does it mean? My brief reflection will draw on both outer and inner traditions. I propose that there are four approaches to understanding the Kingdom of God.

The Heart of God… Love
I find myself in a weird and sometimes uncomfortable position of trying to sort out truth from esoteric sources while making sense of transcendent truth whose roots, for me, began with a religious lens.

Bourgeault writes in her book, Mary Magdelen, that after the crucifiction, Christ did indeed descend, and stayed there for three days before returning. What did he do?
