Kingdom reality

In my devotional reading today from Richard Rohr:
Kingdom people are history makers. People who are living in the false self, in the false world of illusion, are history stoppers.They just keep repeating. They're conformists, fearful people, the nice, respectable proper thinkers of every age who think collectivly and have no power to break through.
"Woe to you when the world speaks well of you," Jesus says (Luke 6:26). He seems to know that unhealthiness will usually be called healthy and normal.
Kingdom reality is seeing life in a new way. Things are not what they seem. Its not what you think. Only one thing is absolute. All else is relative and passing. The system is the way that people think when they don't think.
Kingdom thinking will never be commonly accepted. The system is very seductive and blinding.

I say Amen YES! Amen YES! Amen YES!
