You’ve been told that the kingdom is far.
That it’s somewhere “out there.”
That it’s a place you must strive for, work for, earn.
But the truth is, you are not searching for a kingdom.
You are remembering the kingdom within you.
The kingdom is not above you.
It’s not beyond you.
It’s not somewhere in your future,
waiting for you to get better,
get more enlightened,
or get more “spiritual.”
The kingdom is right here.
It is already within you.
It is the breath you are breathing.
It is the silence behind your thoughts.
It is the stillness that witnesses the storm inside your mind.
When you realize this, the search ends.
The climbing stops.
The striving falls away.
You were never lost.
You were never separated from the kingdom.
The kingdom was inside you,
beneath every thought,
beneath every belief that told you you were incomplete.
The only thing you had to do
was stop searching for it.
The only thing you had to do
was rest in the awareness that it was always here.
The kingdom isn’t a faraway place.
It isn’t a destination you must reach.
It’s the breath in your chest right now.
It’s the peace behind the noise.
It’s the stillness that allows you to be.
The kingdom is not somewhere else.
It is inside your own heart.
When you stop seeking,
when you let go of the need to become,
when you release the illusion of separation,
you remember —
the kingdom is here.
It is now.
You are already a king.
You are already the kingdom.
And in this moment,
you are already home.
