SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM

SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM

Before we explore this topic, let's reference a few key Bible verses:

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God (Heaven), and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

~Matthew 6:33

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

~Matthew 7:7 

"Nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

~Luke 17:21 

There is much Wisdom contained within these verses. The common denominator is the directive to go WITHIN. The Kingdom is within, God is within, seek within ... all verses pointing within, rather than without. Everything that we need is contained within the Field of Consciousness. The unseen realm of the Divine Spark of Spirit that connects all things to each other. 

So, if we're told to "seek the kingdom of God," and "the kingdom is within you," then we're being told to look within for God. Scripture says not to look here, or there ... but to look inside of us. Now lets look at a shortened version of Luke 11:

"And when thou prayest ... enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly ... for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

The "Father" knows what you need, what you are praying for, because you are in your closet and have closed the door. That is to say, you have gone within, and directed your concentration inside of you ... not being distracted by your surroundings, the environment, or the chatter of the ego mind. 

For the answers to your questions, and to fulfill your innermost desires, always turn within yourself and listen for that still small voice. We all the still, small voice within us that is there to guide us as we make our way through Life. The voice represents the deepest, truest part of us, our Divine soul, and it knows what we want and need from Life—if only we would listen to it. The Father within knows what we need. It is Truth that is speaking. And we need to act upon this inner guidance in order to manifest our desires into our ultimate reality. 

The Voice

There is a voice inside of you

That whispers all day long,

“I feel this is right for me,

I know that this is wrong.”

No teacher, preacher, parent, friend

Or wise man can decide

What’s right for you–just listen to

The voice that speaks inside.

~Shel Silverstein

Our spiritual GPS is always ON ... always seeking the chosen path. At times though, we have to re-calculate. But we need not return to our original starting point in order to reach our destination. Just like your car GPS, listen for the voice to redirect you on the better path along your Life journey.

ZOMBIE NATION

ZOMBIE NATION 

I've been thinking a lot today about the messages that Agent Smith, Orpheus, Oracle, Neo, and all the other meaningfully named characters delivered on-screen in "The Matrix." Agent Smith had so many profound things to say about the human race in the film. The first time I saw the film, I was too young and inexperienced to appreciate the vast Wisdom contained in not only the dialogue, but in hidden messages and symbolism throughout the film. There was a lot of reference to ancient Kabbalah, Christianity, Judaism, and Gnosticism. 

But the main message that remained constant, was the concept the most people go about their day as if they were pre-programmed. Call it "A.I." or just plain unconsciousness ... or even still ... asleep upright. It is true that we as humans operate in our waking hours Mind at about 1 to 5% of conscious function, and up to and sometimes more than 95% unconscious/subconscious function. 

This means that for most of us ... we are Zombie-ish. Either consciously near death, almost comatose, or sleep walking. Ancient scriptures dealing with Cain, tells a story of deeper meaning through allegory, and in the end, he was sent off to the "Land of Nod" as punishment. Has a segment of our population "nodded" off to sleep and is pretending to be awake and aware? Remember, in the Matrix, the machines needed our energy to function. 

Physicist Max Planck's quantum theory revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity revolutionized the understanding of space and time. Together they constitute the fundamental theories of 20th-century physics. We must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the "Matrix" of all consciousness. We are all connected through Universal Mind and the web of unconsciousness. He coined the word ... and he did it in 1933. The Matrix is the "Field" of consciousness. 

My suggestion to all of us - including myself - is that we continue working to raise our awareness. Beginning now. There are powers in this world who have been hypnotizing and programming us with their own agenda for decades. If we don't wake up from this program, if we don't unplug ... we won't have the power to survive during the hard times, and thrive during the good times. 

Each of us has our passions and hobbies, and I'm no different than anyone else. As I spend time writing my next book, I spend hours writing articles that can be life-changing on my Truth Blog at genesology.com every day. I love to do the research and the cross-reference, and I share freely what I find with everyone who is interested in reading the posts. I just want to extend an invitation for you to stop by and look around at some of the articles. See if you find anything of interest that may help to raise your conscious awareness a bit. 

People who understand big business, know that their survival and success is dependent on the lower level workers. The same goes for governments, and, the Global Elite. They all need us to complete their plans. And usually the cream of the crop starts from the bottom up. We hold he power for change ... just by sheer numbers alone. Wake up ... wise up. Do your research. 

Don't depend on the pulpit or the TV to deliver you Truth. Truth sometimes needs a shovel. Start digging. There are centuries of manmade garbage on the top layers. Sift through the trash, and find the gold. We are energy ... and have the full power of the universe within us. Imagine what we can accomplish when we all wake from our slumber.
