Just as darkness has culminated on the continents and seas of the Earth, so too will light or perfection culminate on these same continents and seas
1449. The "kingdom of heaven" is not a kingdom that will be experienced only when millions of years have passed, and in a spiritual sphere beyond the clouds; it will be experienced long before then as a purely physical kingdom here on Earth. Just as darkness cast its devastating state of hell, death or suffering across the continents and seas of the Earth, so too will light cast the life-promoting and blissful atmosphere of the "kingdom of heaven" across these same continents and seas. Every kingdom in the spiral has in principle its "hell" and its "kingdom of heaven". And as far as terrestrial mankind is concerned it has as yet experienced nothing but "hell" in the physical world. It will also experience that the "kingdom of heaven" can be manifested in this world. Only when this experience has culminated will terrestrial mankind move out of the physical sphere into the great, elevated worlds beyond all physical existence in order to be a resident of the zones and kingdoms in whose lowest spheres the individual beings on their present step are allowed to dwell as fleeting guests between each physical incarnation.
