Giving

hmm,
following the preceding post.

this is WHY the people of old
used to give their own daughters to marriage to their enemy
initially i mean,
two enemies countries would give their very own daughter to marry to their
most disliked partner

well, initially,
it is always pure, it is always later that rules are used for selfish purpose
and corrupted.


For when you feed your ego
it grows
and your ego likes not the other
and his rules
but to integrate him in you
you have to give
Gifts are made to "increase love" between two parties
the love spoken of, is of course the one on the energetic level

when we give to someone something we cherish most
because it is so close to us, that the giving of it, provoke a feeling of lack
then it is the best test
to show you that you have had assimilated this object in you
so much that you are identifying yourself with it.

Giving it to another,
even more your children in wedlock,
is such a generous donation of yourself
for in a way you make grow something,
all this while
and when it blossoms
you give it...

it seems unfair,
like the flower it took them so long to open and bloom
and finally they lose their petals within two days...

i guess that it is just what one calls as a cycle.
part of the ever-renewing cycle.

well, initially the worth of giving was this i feel,
later, we are not giving,
most of people, especially in asian countries,
are, even if they are good will, trading their sons and daughters
in marriages
for they are always competing and considering "what can i gain"
both parties do so.
more or less admitted
but in truth it is so.

a philosopher had said,
if i love someone, do i love her because i loved her or her qualities?

by then, i wondered but what is more to someone that his qualities?
for we do see qualities in people and then we like them or not.
but there is more to qualities,
there is that which is the Source of those qualities

but most people, seek to reap qualities of others
and use them as trophies, but not to see something Higher in the other.

if we are all vessels of The One, should we not,
at some point, got ignited in us,this sense of True Love?

Thank you


The new thing, or rather the connecting dots i learned with sahaj yoga, 
is about the TRUE sense of SELF.
self realisation
or True self
or Being One in spirit

were words which were foreign to me
totally foreign
with no link whatsoever with God

for God i had "conceptualised it 
to an all-pervading power in and out."

But God is NOT conceptualised even to these true words
He IS this all pervading power!
and the ALL-pervading power is precisely ON THE SPOT the life we are living.

hence the notion of extending the personal limits
hence the drop that joins the ocean 
hence the witnessing of the oneness THROUGH the collectivity
for in sahaj yoga i learned the throat chakra is the level at which the collectivity is represented
meaning OUR relationship to it
the quality of our reaction to it

are we melting in it 
or resisting and reacting against it (ego)

of course it is not about doing the bad that the collectivity does at the manifestation level
it is about the energy level, 
the level of the spirit
at which any collectivity good or bad is related energy-wise
in the knowledge of the True Identity of the Spirit

that is great.

the second thing, 
i felt more strongly today 
is why we give?

when we hoard up things, or collect them
it is to strengthen our sense of self
i am - i am 

the ego is not bad in the sense that it is an i am 
it is bad because its individual "i am"-ness, it negates the GREATNESS of its ONE and non-divided identity I AM with the ocean of the True self, where all egos, all i-am are one.
well, i feel it so.

the more we act for the i am, 
this limited identity
the more we witness that we do not need the other; 
we do not want to share
nor want to experience new horizons
and from these "i am borders", we make limits in our expansion and growth
in connecting with others

these in turns strengthen even more our sense of reality of the "i am"

of course the "i am" is not permanent, nor can it sustain itself alone
everything in nature has to take part into a cycle
without which no renewal nor growth is possible.

Law of nature are what man has forgotten 
and is scared of 
in the notions of "letting go" or of "giving"
Mankind is scare of jumping into the Ocean,
he fears that he will get drown...
: ) well in a way it is true, his limited sense of self will be drown,
like pharon in the sea, such a famous history and metaphor.
for the pharon used to represent the ego, the false master
making slaves of its people which wish to live life to the fullest.


the more we give, 
the more we give ourselves to chance to erase the limits of the "i am"

because when we collect for ourselves we build/strengthen with mortar our house of brick
but when we give... then we are puzzled!
so we say what it serves me to give? i give, and what i see is only loss for me quantity-wise. 
i only see lack, what i should have is no more
etc. then, the sense of stinginess comes in.

but if we get self realisation 
we know then, we are connected to the whole
this is in its simplest form a connection to the whole

now when we give, we know we are making one more step with each giving
towards a NEW and GREATER and FAR more expandable identity which is the TRUE SELF
hence the importance of collectivity!

without collectivity you canNOT see yourself, your limits of your ego 
for the other ENABLES you to see yourself AS in a mirror
and then CORRECT yourself
the correction is not of self beating, lol
it is of EXPANDING ourselves 
as air does in room
as light does in the space.

the all-pervading light of sun does
it is how i call sun rays at times
for i am always astonished to see them lightening the narrowest corner in a building
and am always stunned at the sun perfect RELIABILITY to give light
even to "forgotten corners"

well, when the sun does its job, it does it in all fairness!

the sun misses not even a corner saying, "ok let this place, no use to give light to it, 
and honestly who cares?"
no, when it gives light, it gives it to all places. even those which seem "purposeless".

I feel that is the real beauty of a person, 
not to deem another "bundle of energy" (be it a person or a thing) to be useless, 
but when one sees it, just honor it with our own light.

and by doing so, what we do, 
we give to ourselves, to our identity a new expanding sense of I AM.

Actually by giving, we are just un-covering, dis-covering, who we really are.



I dedicate this article to all the brothers
who have served their sisters 
during this week end, 

and have undeniably gained 
a first hand experienced 
on what it is to give.

Remember, during workshop 
you work on "other"'s energy
and you well know by doing so
you are IN TRUTH working in/on YOURSELF TOO

cleaning the other's blockage
is cleaning your OWN blockage too
you give yourself a boost by energising the other....

so beautiful, isn't it?

here we have learned the true meaning of Giving, 
BECAUSE we have learned the TRUE meaning of the TRUE SELF
that we are ALL connected by the SAME and ONE and ONLY Divine Energy
which makes that ALL and ANY kind of Goodness you do to others, 
then you do it AUTOMATICALLY to yourself.

Therefore, 
it is HOW when you give to others
in your daily routine
you give ALSO to yourself.

We are indeed blessed in God.
