I and the Father are One
The kingdom of god is within you
This is one of the most essential and esoteric teachings of Jesus.
The mainstream Christian interpretation often places the kingdom of god in the afterlife but this misses the mystical depth. Jesus was pointing towards an internal reality, a state of divine consciousness where the soul realizes its oneness with god. this inner realization is not limited to saints or prophets it's accessible to all individuals who seek to awaken spiritually.
In mystical traditions this teaching parallels the understanding of enlightenment in eastern religions where the true self or Atman is realised as being one with the divine Brahman. Jesus was teaching that salvation and heaven are states of consciousness that can be experienced here and now by going inward and recognizing one's divinity.
I and the father are one John 10:30
When Jesus says I and the father are one he is not just speaking of himself alone but is offering a universal truth about the potential of all humans.
This teaching expresses non duality, a central concept in mystical teachings across the world non duality refers to the realization that the apparent separation between the individual soul and the divine is illusory. In truth there is only oneness. This statement invites people to recognize that just as Jesus realized his unity with God so too can every individual.
The path of spiritual awakening involves transcending the ego the sense of separateness and merging with the divine presence teaching the eye of the single vision .
The eye is the lamp of the body
Matthew 6:22
In this verse Jesus says if your eye is single your whole body will be full of light. This teaching IS often overlooked or misinterpreted refers to spiritual vision and the awakening of the third eye - a concept found in many esoteric traditions. The single eye is the spiritual centre - or adjna chakra in yogic terms - that allows an individual to perceive higher realities. When Jesus speaks of the eye being single he refers to the state of pure consciousness. Where all distractions and illusions of the physical world fall away when the third eye is activated it brings inner light or divine wisdom flooding the entire being with spiritual insight this teaching aligns with eastern mysticism where focusing on the third eye in meditation is a key to awakening higher consciousness teaching for rebirth of spirit.
