Gerradthor, just curious, have you ever studied any of the Gnostic teachings? I just ask because your view of the Kingdom of God sounds similar to there's. They were an early Christian sect that lost to Pauline Christianity. They taught that each person had an hidden potential for secret knowledge that could be unlocked through training and mediation. They had their own set of Gospels and taught that the Kingdom of God is within you. Perhaps a Christanized version of Buddhism?
