- 0:01Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
- 0:04and all these things shall be added unto you.
- 0:08SPEAKER_00: What if this instruction refers to every moment?
- 0:12What if every moment is a fresh invitation to first presence
- 0:18with the kingdom of
- 0:18SPEAKER_00: God here and now,
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: to
- 0:21SPEAKER_00: Relinquish all ideas, all identities, all perceptions and definitions.
- 0:29SPEAKER_00: Melt into wholeness now.
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: Feel pure being now.
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: The intrinsic primal texture,
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: the primal quality of pure being is one of fullness,
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: relaxation,
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: effulgence,
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: peace.
- 0:49Every single moment we can first seek the kingdom of God and
- 0:56then all these things are added.
- 0:59The primal qualities of God are added to our experience or it's
- 1:04almost like
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: everything that's not that is subtracted.
- 1:08We relinquish all the clouds that typically are in front of the
- 1:11sun and we let
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: ourselves feel the pure sun.
- 1:15the pure S-U-N sun,
- 1:18the pure S-O-N sun,
- 1:20the Christ light of being,
- 1:22the sunlight of being.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: It's forever with us.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: It forever effulges, but we typically overlook it.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: We don't let ourselves feel it.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: We don't let ourselves open to it.
- 1:34And so then we live life hooked into this endless cyclical
- 1:41craving and grasping
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: that never satisfies itself.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: that never is able to add the things that it tries to add.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: So ironically, it's through subtraction.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: It's through relinquishment of all our ordinary consume concerns,
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: all our ordinary beliefs and identities.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: And simply abiding,
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: abiding as being now,
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: abiding as pure beholdment,
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: pure,
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: pure awakeness,
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: awake presence,
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: that we then feel the greatest treasures,
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: truly the greatest treasures are then added or revealed rather.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: They were always there.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: And this moment is revealed as the cathedral, as the kingdom.
- 2:30The kingdom,
- 2:31the queendom is always there in the background of experience.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: We just typically don't tune into it.
- 2:40So we have to practice to relinquish all of our ideas,
- 2:44all these layers of identity and belief.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: to once again become like little children in Christ's words,
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: to become that freshness,
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: that innocence,
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: that beginner's mind,
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: that blank slate that is able to feel the pure clarity,
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: the pure simplicity,
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: the pure lucidity,
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: the pure hot bath of freshness and relaxation,
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: peace,
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: satchitananda,
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: being awareness,
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: Joy that is always effulgent, that is always there.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: Our true home, our true eternal parent, always holding us.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: We just have to take the time to notice.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: So, seek ye first the kingdom of God in every moment.
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: Find whatever access points work for you to melt into that substratum.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Feel your non-separation.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: Zero degrees of separation.

- 4:13SPEAKER_00: You are in the kingdom now.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: zero degrees of separation,
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: whatever lets you feel that,
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: whatever lets you melt into that,
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: that is the place to establish yourself.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: That is the place to allow to sink into the heart.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: That's the place to open to.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: That's the place to act from,
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: the place to create from,
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: the place to be still from,
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: the place to relate from,
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: the place to build your life from.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: That is the
- 4:42That is the divine foundation from which all most pure and
- 4:47beautiful creations
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: blossom organically and spontaneously of their own accord.
