…and the “real you,” when referring to the soul. Also that when we speak of “you,” it refers to the lower self of the human mind), or you in your true consciousness uninfluenced by the outer mind.)

It is therefore the inner you or that consciousness which includes all that you have learned from the beginning, not only in this life but during the many lives upon earth and in the soul world between incarnations. For it is the sumtotal of all the knowledge you have acquired as taught you by the Higher Self and which has been built into and now constitutes your consciousness.

In other words, your soul is your consciousness—is what many understand as the sub-consciousness. It is the “I” of you that knows, and whose voice is the “conscience,” which not only constantly cautions and urges you not to do things that it has learned from experience cause trouble and unhappiness, but tries to have you do the things and learn the lessons it came into incarnation expressly to accomplish and learn, under the direction of the Higher Self.

The Kingdom is the Consciousness of the Higher or Christ Self, to which the soul is gradually unfolding as it learns the truth of its nature and obeys the Voice of Love in the heart. As fast as the soul learns this truth it uncovers it to the outer mind, as the mind makes it possible by listening to and heeding its guidance.

In this Kingdom Consciousness one knows that all is good and perfect, and not what appears to the mortal mind; that what the human eyes see and the mortal mind believes, is unreal and exists but in the human “separate” consciousness, and not in God’s and the Higher Consciousness. One in this Consciousness then actually lives in a world where the sins, inharmonies, lacks and limitations of the outer world are not seen and do not exist; for one looks right through the “appearances” of things to the beautiful Realities that they hide, and which they would out-picture were it not for the misunderstandings and wrong beliefs of the human mind.

God is the One Mind, in Whose Consciousness all live, move and have their being—even as all the ideas, thoughts, concepts
