Luke 17:21 is Jesus telling the Pharisees the kingdom of God is already among or within them. It's not a future visible spectacle but a present spiritual reality.
Zen folks often interpret this as "look inside for enlightenment," but the context is the kingdom arriving through Christ, not self-realization.
Be careful trusting your own judgment on matters of life or death.
