The Kingdom of Heaven

There are those who believe
there is a kingdom without
thus they serve a kingdom without.

There are those who know
there is a kingdom within
thus they serve a kingdom within.

There are thus (as) two trees
(as like) in a garden with these:
'I know...' and 'I believe...'.

Truth known (over/as) Authority, (and/or)
Authority believed to wield Truth;
their respective yields (are as) fruits.

'I AM...' is (like) the Father
'...that I AM' is (like) the Son
so Father and Son are one in 'I AM that I AM'.

Therefor to know 'I AM' (the Father)
is to know 'that I AM' (the Son)
and between them is 'that', Spirit (breath).

The same is as the Spirit (breath)
of Elohim merachefet al-penei ha'mayim
(moving upon the face of the waters' deep).

And the same is as the breath of life
breathed through the nostrils of Adam
in whom carries the spirit (of Elohim) and Eve.

Therefor the two trees
'I know...' and 'I believe...'
are ever-present in 'I AM'.

And (as surely as) that 'I AM' is in
both Father and (in) Son
that same 'I AM' is in (you).

Behold, then, yourself your own garden(s);
your own tree(s); your own "known(s)";
your own "belief(s)"; your own being(s).

One man (in a body, provided for)
one woman (with man, in a garden, provided for)
one warning (among endless trees from which to eat, all provided for).

Who then "believes" they are entitled to more than these?
Who then "believes" in more than provided for?
Who then "believes" in multiple Eves for their own Adam?

Behold those then who take (for them) multiple women (as wives)
as they are the (real) losers so far removed from (perpetual) Eden
that they forfeit it for a (temporary) terrestrial one.

These are them taking the Kingdom of Heaven by force:
women become (the) commodity: a possession to be had,
to be used, abused, at the discretion of the possessive man.

Behold, then, the true Kingdom of Heaven:
one Adam, one Eve, one garden, one warning,
so first (as) within, then so (as) without.

There are those who believe
there is a kingdom without
thus they serve a kingdom without.

There are those who know
there is a kingdom within
thus they serve a kingdom within.

Dear brothers and sisters,
please know the Kingdom of Heaven
is not without, but within.

My promise to you is
if you look deep inside
you will find it there.
