+"And when God descends from heaven to walk on earth in his temples [us],
+and to require his worship to himself out of all sects and
+traditions, this is his entertainment from all that look for him in
+observations, whose coming is within, and his kingdom is within
+you."  James Nayler _What the Possession of the Living Faith Is_
+(from prison, printed 1659)
+http://www.qhpress.org/texts/nayler/possess.html
+Early Friends viewed heaven primarily as a matter of (intimate)
+relationship with and participation in God.
+"But his kingdom in this world, in which he chiefly delights to walk
+and make himself known, is in the hearts of such as have believed in
+him, and owned his call out of the world, whose hearts he hath
+purified, and whose bodies he hath washed in obedience <6> and made
+them fit for the Father to be worshipped in,"
+James Nayler _The Lamb's War against the Man of Sin_ (1657)
+Scattering and fragmentation brought back into oneness and into union
+Choice for humanity: A life focussed on the Creator, or on the
+created.
+Abiding in that which is uncreated and eternal, revealing the divine
+nature and leading to eternal live
+Abide in that which is temporary and corruptible leading inevitably to
+sin and death
+"But that which is born of the heavenly, is heavenly, spiritual,
+eternal, and incorruptible; which is the state of the new man, which
+of God is begotten of the divine nature; and as is his nature, so is
+his works; and so his delights are spiritual; for as is the man, so
+are his works; and as is the tree, so is its fruit. And so he that
+is born of this seed is born of God; and he that is born of God sins
+not, in whom that seed remains. And all who remain in this seed, and
+it in them, this hath the promise and power that puts off the old
+man with his deeds, lusts, and affections;"
+James Nayler _Love to the Lost_ (1656)
+http://www.qhpress.org/texts/nayler/lovelost.html
+[But note that there's still a bit of "jam tomorrow" lurking...]
+"he that puts on truth and righteousness puts on immortality and
+eternal life, and freedom; this is our house from heaven, and hath
+power to save upon earth, and to take us up to heaven, to be with
+God forever, in whom is the kingdom, power and glory over all,
+blessed forevermore."
+James Nayler _The Lamb's War_ (op. cit.)
+Early Friends felt that they were living in the same life and power
+that the apostles [and the saints in general?] had known following
+Pentecost.
+"_To those who are called Papists (and others) who Desires to know our Ground._
+"The ground on which we are is that upon which the prophets and
+apostles and all the holy men of God ever were; and on that
+foundation are we builded, Jesus Christ himself, who is the light of
+the world, which hath enlightened everyone that cometh into the
+world, being the chief cornerstone: which light of Christ is one in
+all consciences, by which we are led out of all the ways of darkness
+into the light of life; which life is in the Spirit, contrary to all
+the former lusts and pleasures which we lived in while we walked in
+the flesh, after the course of this world, following the corrupt
+practices and precepts of men."
+James Nayler _A True Discovery of Faith_ (1654 and 1655)
