The "kingdom of heaven" is a physical way of being, made perfect through development, that will completely transform the Earth into a "new earth" and a "new heaven"
875. In using the term "resurrection", Jesus therefore means the one thing that really can be a "resurrection", namely a new physical birth.Every such new birth is a "resurrection".Here the individual has risen from the so-called "dead" to the "living", which means that the individual has left the zone of the "dead", "heaven", in order to be born into the zone of the "living", the Earth.The Earth is therefore for the terrestrial human being the world of the "resurrection", and "heaven" the world of "the dead" or the abode of terrestrial human beings in their non-physical or spiritual state between their physical terrestrial lives.It is therefore in the world of the "resurrection", the Earth, that the "kingdom of heaven" shall grow from a tiny "mustard seed" to become a mighty tree that covers the whole Earth, transforming its practical, physical life into a "new earth" and its sphere of thought, the mentality of the life on its surface, into a "new heaven".The "new earth" is therefore the same as the ability – developed through experiences of both suffering and pleasure – to carry out and practise the moral precepts of Jesus, that is neighbourly love, as a natural, daily way of being in the same way as the "angels in heaven", like the "new heaven", is the receptivity to "cosmic consciousness" developed through this daily manifestation of love using purely practical, physical senses in awake, physical day-consciousness.This "new earth" and "new heaven" is thus the perfect "kingdom of heaven".
