Seeking first the Kingdom

This verse has puzzled me for a while, what the Kingdom means and how to look for it, but as more and more of the Bible is getting clearer, at least through the way I intepret things, I think I have an answer for this one.

That the Kingdom is 'among' or 'within' is already established but how to 'seek' and how everything is subsequently added by this seeking is the mysterious part. But as is being touched upon more and more these days, I'm pretty sure 'the Kingdom' are your energy centers (churches) and the energy (Christ). So seeking it means to simply turn your attention to it (look) and by doing so you start to get in touch with the energy aspect of things. Now, by solving things on the energetic they get solved in the physical because the energetic plane is the template for the physical - so it truly becomes the Kingdom of God because this is where things are determined how they play out. And as I mentioned earlier this parallels to the event horizon of black holes and a theorized event horizon of the entire universe, whever information is stored and is the projected to appear as holographic physical matter.

That is how dreams can be prophetic - they either show or change the energetic mapping for which reality then plays out.

That "kingdom" is a very specific state of perception. If you're interested pm me, I'm in a tradition that can get you there if this is what you are seeking.

Forgive me for not understanding the black hole analogy - but in context to energy, getting at the base or root of something is the only way to cut off our entanglement with it. If we try to seek out a solution to an energy problem in the physical world we are only playing with the manifestation or effect and not really addressing the root cause.

Ah, seeking the Kingdom of Heaven first changed my life.

First comes the contemplation:

What is a Kingdom?
What is Heaven?
How does one seek them?
1 question leads to another and another - a Kingdom has to have residents/subjects....
it mean there is a King presiding over it and them....
Where is this place?
Is it a metaphor?
If it dwells within - what does that exactly mean?
And so on...a very exciting study, research, pondering, questioning,
discussing, digging, thus seeking it up-close and personal, indeed, 24/7; "first'' means first. (It doesn't mean only...but first.)
And then you do see ---everything does come.

It's like you're in the center of the Universe, (seeking God's Kingdom) and now it is serving your every need...
you're acknowledging Him and He is making your path straight.
Quite a change. :)

It's sister instruction (clue to life) is in Psalm 37.
''Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.''
(Of course, when you've gotten that far - all you desire is Him...hehehe,
the Lord is so funny, He is very cute.)

Each Christian must make it a priority in their life, at least for a period - weeks.
Or else what are they doing? Not listening to Jesus...that's for sure!
That's how I see it...you either follow Jesus' instructions or you do not.

I guess the context is clear:

Matthew 6

Do Not Be Anxious

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

That might not be accurate. I believe the present is the point of power that creates past, present, future.

That "kingdom" is your own inner source-of-knowledge that can be accessed only by turning inwards.

Ah, Matthew Ch 6 - very meaningful for me!!

I think the crux of the matter is that everything you have in your external reality also has a 'blueprint' in your energetic reality. That means to get any change in the external it has to be changed on the energetic level. The "parable" of the black hole is that the information concerning an object is stored on it's horizon, while the projection of it's physical reality is "projected" in the same manner a hologram is projected from a 2D surface, where the information is stored.

That's interesting. So have you ever sucessfully altered the past?

So as I was walking I came to think of something I one could call "energy talk". This is sending and receiving energy purely on that level. This could be what Christ meant when he said the angels will ascend and descend upon the son of man. The energies carry information - thus angels. Thus if anyone has any insights on this aspect that would be great.

Yes, to the extent that, cause-effect wise, things got set up for something to happen in the present (convoluted explanation, isn't it?).

I was faced with a major situation I had no solution to. While walking, I contacted my subconscious and asked for help. When I arrived home, I turned on my kindle and started to read a book I had downloaded the previous day. The book was by an author I never heard of before, that somebody just recommended on a forum a few days earlier. Actually my attention to that post was attracted by somebody replying to a few months old opening post in a thread, to which nobody ever replied until that moment.

The first paragraph I read in the book gave me the solution for my situation, which proved to be the right one.

Surely, this can be attributed to synchronicity, coincidence, whatever. To me, it seemed that things were arranged backwards in the past in such a way that I was offered the help when I needed, in the moment.

I had a handful of such experiences.

Hello there,

Certainly, my reply to someone else though was in context of energy manifesting. I'm just saying if we play with the result of something we will just do this forever because we aren't getting to the root cause that's all.

We can never know the cause of the shadows dancing if we never look at the light which causes them to manifest, etc...

If our energy system is causing effects and we only chase effects in the present moment then one will absolutely never attain understanding of their underlying causality.
