Starting at the Source
by Jennifer Baltz
 Seek ye first that which gives you everything and everything shall be given to you.
--The Bhagavad Gita
Two thousand years ago, a very wise man once said, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven within, and all shall be given to you." And another very wise human more recently pointed out that the operative word here is "first."
We often tend to think that we are in this alone...that we must create our dreams on our own. And it’s easy to assume that we are creating with limited resources and support. We forget who we are, as part of a greater Whole.
When our dreams and goals don’t happen in the way we expect, we often think that either we are not worthy enough, or not capable enough...or that there is just not enough to go around.
But the truth is that none of these things are true. We get stuck in our creations because we don’t fully understand how the creative process works—it has nothing to do with not deserving or lack of resources. We’re just still learning.
What we create starts from within—it always will and always has. That Kingdom of Heaven within is our connection to the Divine. To the One, the Source of all life and light. Whether you see that Source as the Universe, as All Life, or as God, it really doesn’t matter. It is limitless Creation. This awareness is what Christ and other masters have tried to help us remember.
"Seek ye first" is really operating instructions. It means to go within and connect with Creation, with Source first, before you start to create your dreams.
When we work with that source, we co-create our reality moment-by-moment. It shifts our dreams into higher gear. When we do not remember that this light exists within us, we get stuck in fear, anger and frustration, and we create
everything the hard way..
