To give and to receive are one in truth….
This is such a powerful and simple lesson. It speaks to the sanest part of our mind and appeals to what we all really know inside… We are having the experience we are putting out…
Is there anyone that isn’t aware of this on some level? We are always giving attributes and attitudes and interpretations based on what we want to experience at the time. This is extremely difficult to cop to when things really suck, and defense seems to be the only attitude available to offer and receive… But are we completely void of some sense that we could ‘see this differently and feel differently’? I think not.
It is merely selective denial based in the addiction to separation.
Usually we don’t want to give up being right, even if we could feel better instantly by conceding to not knowing, we won’t do it.
To everyone I offer forgiveness…
~ “I have done this unto myself!”~ This thought, that we were so afraid of, hold’s the key to complete peace. Once we cop to this, we begin to see clearly that what we give we receive….
‘To give and to receive are one in truth’… Ultimately, we all just want to be happy, peaceful and free. Yes? And we begin to see the pattern: that if I can have the experience I desire, merely by offering it to you. I give you happiness by wishing it for you, and instantaneously, I feel it overcoming my present state. “I will receive what I am giving now”…
Today’s lesson: “To give and to receive are one in truth” builds on this neutral premise and asks that we value our Self by valuing each other.
What we can truly give, what we can give in truth, are attitudes and attributes of truth, or love. Since love is what we are in truth, fathered by Love, like unto itself. So we offer, deliberately, the gifts of love we are, but have denied… We remind ourselves, “I will receive what I am giving now”… Peace instantly begins to settle in, you feel it?
“To give and to receive are one in truth”….
Ummm Yummmy… There is just no end to the happiness and peace of mind, safety and certainly and joy, to the trust and freedom and light and forgiveness, and healing and companionship and love that we can have, but for the giving it to all…. It makes me want to get right to it and practice giving everything I want away to feel that I belongs to me in truth. I want to keep this peace and joy and still, quiet, certainty, which I feel now, within my present experience, all the time. It feels so good to hope for you your happiness… I LOVE IT!.
I have always been one for immediate gratification. I have been way into wanting it now. And, I have to admit, wanting proof of effectiveness (preferably immediately). And, here it is, in today’s simple practice…
The very first time I did this lesson, wow, over 20 years ago, now, I was swept into an option for peace and happiness, I would never completely forget again. The choice for right-minded perception was as close as my willingness to love and receive love.
My readiness to accept and allow the truth was miniscule, dressed in grandiosity, at the time,( though I was, as they say, the last to know)…
When you know there is no one ‘out there’ to blame and you get exhausted from blaming yourself, the vigilance for the ego identity gets weak…and the mind opens…
Thank God, because finally, after years of denial and immense heartache for self, I became ready to see what life ‘being wrong’ and ‘giving all to all’, looked like....
The Holy Spirit enters at the slightest invitation and the plan for salvation’s accomplishment has been set…
And now, gratitude is all I am and all I can seem to offer. And with it, a host of heavenly feelings inherent in Who I Am in truth…to give and receive as one…
This little willingness to let all things be exactly as they are and offering everything I want to keep, as fast as I can give it away, has truly given me heaven on earth. I want only what I can give away. I see now, that nothing else has any value whatsoever.
I think this is one of the easiest lessons to remember. You can just feel the effects so powerfully and immediately… I join with you in the peace of God and perfect rest and happiness… let us remember to give and be happy…
