A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us altogether within the reach of ourselves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is there awaiting our response to His presence. This world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.
And what do I mean by reality? I mean that which has existence apart from any idea my mind may have of it, and which would exist if there were no mind anywhere to entertain a thought of it. That which is reality has being in itself. It does not depend upon the observer for its validity.
