Consciousness Quote by Grigori Grabovoi
““Jesus Christ using different allegories calls again and again to abandon everything for the sake of attainment of the Kingdom of God, explaining, that if someone has been able to attain the Kingdom of God, then the rest will come to him of itself. So, the Kingdom of God, first of all, is a higher state of consciousness. And the ascension to still higher and higher states of consciousness – is, virtually, a way to God. And then the meaning of the phrase “the Kingdom of God is inside us” becomes clear. It is because the Kingdom of God is a higher state of consciousness that is why it is inside us. And when Jesus says again and again “Wake up!”, he means the proper sense of the word, because compared to higher states of consciousness, an ordinary state of wakefulness represents a deep sleep, nearly the same as our ordinary sleep is, compared to the state of wakefulness.””
