Giving Love
August 22nd, 2010 |

The only thing we should want in return is our own satisfaction, our own fulfillment. That is it period. Meaning, if you are in a relationship, just give and don’t be concerned what you will get in return. When we give with our whole heart, the giving returns to us in spades. It doesn’t make a difference if the returns come from that person or from someone else. What we should be focusing on is the real exchange: that with the Light of the Creator.If we want to be a vessel for the Light, we have to act like the Light. One way to do this is by giving unconditionally. Often we want to give conditionally, but we want people to give to us unconditionally. The universe just doesn’t work that way. If you are conditional, then you will end up with people in your life who are conditional.
If we are always looking for what we will get in return, we will be building a home for chaos. If you want to build a place for Love and Light to shine, then give and let go. Release your desire of what you could get back.
Have no expectation.
We have to find the strength to do one-way sharing. Obviously, we cannot continually give to someone who does nothing in return. There is time when those people in our lives we have to let go of. No matter how much you care for them. You cannot continue to be the person for them to learn what they need to learn on this journey. But in the normal course, open your heart and give to others without expecting a return. If it comes back from those people, that’s great.If is does not that’s okay too.We all have agendas, and we have gone through a lifetime of training to conceal them. But by doing so, we’re creating a mask that we want people to see instead of allowing them to see who we really are. Some people have built a turtle shell around themselves; some have built a thin layer; but it’s hard to connect to one another through these barriers.
We have to share from the deeper, uncovered, true essence of self, be it a friendship, or relationship. We must feel safe in this sharing with those we care for otherwise we feel cut off, disconnected from what is most important, Love.
This is what this week should be all about, being real — about your desires, your opinions, your garbage, and your gifts. It’s not an easy task, but it’s vital to your process of wiping the slate clean. If you have an expectation of someone in your life right now, I encourage you to do some deep thinking and ask yourself, is my expectation going to bring me closer to Love? Or as in a lot of cases is it going to create, tension, discord and pain to yourself and another when that person fails to do what I expect them to do.

“The Blue Diamond”
We need to figure out what we did, what we didn’t do, where we are going, and where we should be.
There was a king of a tropical island. He heard there was a family who lived in a town outside of the city, and they had a blue diamond. The king wanted this blue diamond for himself, and he sent his messenger to get it.
The messenger boarded the ship, and after it set sail, there was a shortage of food. He was an expert fisherman so he caught fish and fed the passengers. After the messenger had fed everyone, they got sick. But he was a doctor, so he was able to cure them.
When the boat reached the shore, the messenger found that food was abundant, but the people had nowhere to live. He was a carpenter, so he built houses for everyone. When he had built the houses, he found that the people didn’t know how to make use of the land. They didn’t know how to plow or to plant. So he taught them.
Finally, the messenger finished with all his good works, and he returned to the king. The king asked him what he had done on his journey. He told the king he had fed the people, saved their lives, built their houses, taught them how to plow and plant.
Then the king asked him about the blue diamond that he had been sent to get. The messenger admitted that he had been so busy he had forgotten about the blue diamond. The king took out his sword and cut off the messenger’s head.
We all come to this world with certain tasks, and we need to find our path in order to carry out those tasks. Acts of sharing get us closer to the path, but they are only part of the picture.
We must perform the actions we came to this world to do; then we will find we can do so much more. We can feed more people, build more houses, teach many more how to plow and plant. It is the actions that we came to do that will increase our power to do more sharing.
A good barometer we can use to make sure we are on our path is to ask ourselves if we are happy. We can ask ourselves if today is better than yesterday. We can be doing our job and helping many but are we on the right path? We need to keep asking ourselves if we have the diamond.
We will know when we have it. We will feel the shift. Sometimes spiritual people, good people, are not on their path. We each have a specific route. Every night, when our soul goes up to recharge, we are all asked if we are on track. Do you wake in the morning with joy for the day or like a lot of people is it, Oh God What Today? Do you look to others to esteem you ? Do you seek to have as many toys as your neighbor ? Do you only feel of worth when you are doing for others ? Do you get mired down in the daily grind of he said she said with your friends , co-workers, family ? Do you trust that which you came here to do you are doing ? Or are you doing what others wish you to do ?
It does not take money, power, or others to set you on the right path. It takes only you.
We don’t have to search for our path. The right path, the one that will lead us to the diamond, is in front of us.
