Where is heaven?

This is a follow up to the post of 4/22, The Bread of Being.

When Gurdjieff uses the appellation “Our Common Father” in Beelzebub’s Tales, he is referring of course to the use of the words “Our Father” in the Lord’s Prayer.

The use of the term reminds us that we all have the same father; we’re all born of the same active principle. Leaving aside for a moment the question of who our mother is (interesting) the words indicate that we’re all family: every human being is a sibling.

Perhaps more interesting than this to students of prayer and esotericism is that the phrase ends “whom art in heaven.”

Consider this in light of Christ’s comment that the Kingdom of Heaven is within.

What it means is that God is within us.
