Often the passage Luke 17:21, is given by itself, when the first part

that clarifies the whole meaning is in Luke 17:20.

(Luke 11:20) He answered them and said: "The kingdom of God does not

come with observation; (Luke 11:21) Nor will they say, 'see here!' or

'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."

 

Without the first part of the sentence, one might have the idea that

refocusing attention within the mind will reveal the Truth (such that

mystical experiences, etc. are mistakenly taken for the Truth), when

what is meant is that by abandoning attention (observation), one will

awaken to the True "I AM" Light and abide as That singly, as in Luke

11:34 "...and thy whole body will be filled with Light."

 

The experience of that single "I" is in the heart, where we point when

we say "I" - therefore not in the brain, where images (seemingly

internal or external) are observed. Luke 12:34 "For where your

treasure is, there your heart will be also."

 

Abiding in the Heart, the mechanism of the mind - attention, is

disengaged, and we abide as one with the all pervasive

being/consciousness - the Father.
