I didn't believe that you were that conceited muso.
Note that I said "you" look into it. If I'd said "I" look into it, that would be conceited. Besides, you don't have to take my word for it. Wise men have been saying it for years.
- and unscrupulous men have been distorting or obscuring the message for years for various reason - mainly for control purposes.
You appeared to be speaking of yourself muso....

Quote: Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke:17:20-21
See also: Matthew:12:14; Mark:3:6
The Kingdom of God is within you. (Leon Tolstoy)
Quote:The truth lies within each of us, not in the stars, nor in tradition, or in religious books, or in the opinions of the masses. Each of us has within, however hidden, the true principles of thinking and acting. In the end, therefore, no one can teach anyone else the truth about life. If that truth were not within you, you would never find it; but it is within you, and only relentless critical self-examination will reveal it to you.

Yes, its all good muso.
I particularly liked the Socrates quote, which i was not familiar with.
But Matthew:12:14 ???
"Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him."
and Mark:3:6 ???
"And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him."
p.s.
Regards the Socrates quote;
Yet, we [mankind] seem to be
happily distracted by the world [i.e. there is a common a lack of inner 'exploration'] ?
