"'See, the kingdom is in the sky’, then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Simply put, the Kingdom is not a material place. Neither is it a material thing, and is not a part of the material realm. Such teachings emanate from the minds of the spiritually blind and dead, and it is why those teachers were referred to as ‘the blind leading the blind’. What such religious teachers taught was, and is, a religion based on materiality, which included a physical god, who inhabited a material place."
