WE MAY DWELL IN HEAVEN WHILE HERE ON EARTH



Just as Vortigern is said to have granted Hengest as much land as an ox-hide could encompass, so does mind grant man as much of the physical world in as much as the ox- hide of his mental attitude can encompass. 
The mind of man, our Vortigen, is the ruler of the world unseen.
Similarly, Hengest, our physical being, has been given as much power, as our mental attitude- the ox-hide, could encompass, and the attitude (the hide) being cut into strips, our destiny(our Tong Castle) in the seen world is accordingly marked out.
But the two worlds are a hierarchy of one to the other, with the world not seen taking precedence over the world of the seen.
It follows therefore, that the world of the seen is a reflection of the world not seen. We can therefore refer the world of the seen to the world of reflection.  Most importantly, however, is the fact that the reflection of our physical world is determined and lorded over by none other than our mind.
Similarly, we know that mind is governed by thought and thoughts are causes. The world of the unseen is therefore the world of causes.
The world of reflection then,  is the world of effects. This world of reflection which is also the world of the physical as we know it, is itself unconscious and unknowing; whereas the world of thought, or the world of ideas, which is also the world of cause is conscious. 
The world of cause, as we have just seen above, is ruled by mind.
Mind is composed of a duality- the objective or the conscious mind and the subjective or subconscious mind.
The objective mind is part of our consciousness while the subjective mind is the individualized Universal Subjective Mind.
The Universal Mind is the realm of the world of the unseen.  It is the Love and Spirit of God. 
The love of God operates as the Objective Mind of God, which is spontaneous, allgiving as well as allloving. 
The Objective Universal Mind, however, like our objective mind does not work in isolation, but works with Its counterpart, the Subjective Universal Mind, which is the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is the Law of Liberty. It is the law of cause and effect.
Our objective mind receives thought forces from our consciousness. It exercises choice on what thought to process. It reflects on the thought, analys it, verify it to be true to our objective desire (our prayer)and upon confirmation, passes it on to the subjective mind.
The subjective mind is the individualized Universal Subjective Mind in us. It has no volition of its own and works on whatever it is passed on from our objective mind.
The subjective mind, then passes our object of thought to the Universal Subjective Mind, which blesses our thoughts by projecting it in form.
  
Since it is then apparent that everything has its origin from the world not seen and in the process described above, then it may not be too far- fetched to refer to this world unseen as Heaven. 
This being the case, it may be said that man may dwell in this Heaven, while here on earth.
The key to this living is based on how much we are able to take control of our mind- dare say!
