I Take Off The Mask!

You Have to Give in order to Receive

We all know the saying, “Ask and ye shall receive. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and ye shall be opened for you.” Yet who can easily grasp the principle that in order to receive, one must be able to give first?

According to new age ideas, this is based on the principle of reaping what you sow, which is true indeed. You cannot harvest anything if you never planted any seeds. This they say, is the universal principle of prosperity.

According to this principle, it is never wise to hoard money. Money, like energy, should freely circulate in order to perform its task. And to be able to receive more of it, we should begin by also giving more. But how? Many people barely have enough to live by, and in these difficult times, few have money to spare. Where do we begin indeed when all that we have is “nothing”?

I would like to say that nobody starts at nothing. To say that we have nothing is to suggest that we create something out of nothing, and the Universe doesn’t work like that. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transmuted. Energy is transformed only from one form into another. We create from what is already available, from what we have, and we never have “nothing.”

To begin with, we have ourselves, and that doesn’t count as nothing. You are a child of God, a precious soul with freewill and dignity, and nobody can take it away from you. The Universe would explode without you, it cannot exist if you suddenly vanish into thin air.

You have disregarded your significance for a long time and counted it as nothing, and so conclude that you can give nothing in return. But the truth is you’re worth so much more than you give yourself credit for. You’re a whole world, a whole universe of potentials within yourself, waiting to be explored, tapped, and unleashed. If you could only tap into the sacred center of your being, you would be surprised at what you can do, at what God can accomplish through you, at what difference you can make in the world.

The real issue therefore is not the absence of money, but the awareness of the vast resources that you possess, resources that could make you more money than you could ever imagine until your cup runneth over and overflows.

Start with yourself today. Love that soul. Be grateful for the intricate work heaven has done in you. Making money is only a small portion of the infinite resources put upon your hands. Once you get to know your real self, you will be able to give more, and in so doing, receive exceedingly more than what you have ever desired!
