Absolute Giving

This is the time of year where we are conditioned into the Giving Spirit. What is the Giving Spirit? Does it end on Dec. 25 or Dec 26th where we box it all up? In this plane of living Giving and Receiving are one if you know how to Absolutely Give. The phrase "Thy Cup Runneth Over" as written about in the Bible and I know it from Psalm 23 makes a wonderful mantra during this Holiday Season. Absolute Giving is to give when your cup runneth over because you will not expect or require anything in return for what you Give. In fact you are so grateful to give because you receive so much joy in the act of giving-because you are free from require anything in return. Including a thank you! In fact you thank others for receiving. I put this analogy together to illustrate Absolute Giving from a materialistic view. We acquire a day job to meet our basic needs for survival where we 'have to' go to work. If we live below our means then we can use discretionary income to invest in our self to develop a career in what we really want to do. The increase in income can support a few comforts of modern life or we still live below our means and invest our savings into discovering what we really love to do. At this point our financial objective is to become financially independent while doing what we love to do. Thus we invest our savings into businesses or learn how to use money to generate more money. Then we purchase a few luxuries with the income earned from the generated income from our investments or we continue to re-invest our money into more money generating assets until we have declared we are financially independent. If we live well below our means then we can give without our needs, comforts or few luxuries from being unmet. At this stage one is ripe to become philanthropic and set course to do great projects to support those whose basic needs are not met and lift them up. Help them evolve. This would be giving from a place where one's cup runneth over. I believe that every person is naturally generous and desires to give yet it has been my observation that people give to the extent that their basic needs are sacrificed. We sacrifice our health and well being for the luxuries and temptations of the world! During this Holiday Season Give money or objects of materialism if you really and honestly can not out of obligation to culture norms but from intrinsic inspiration to make a difference in some one's life. Otherwise humbly give of your self as you are and be open to receive from those who can absolutely give. During Christmas how many of you put limits on how much to give? Like $50 or some other arbitrary number. Why is that done? Is that freedom or empowering people to learn how to Absolutely Give? Why not just leave it as if you can give then give what you are inspired to give. There is no competition or feelings of being gypped because you gave a more expensive gift and receive one of less monetary value. Think about giving gifts that have great usage value to a person. This would require you to actually be creative and meditative for a particular person and what they can really use to fulfill their basic needs. I believe the Spirit of giving during Christmas is to give to those whose' basic needs are not met. Remember these words "physical survival will always trumph spiritual evolution." As a species and family we cannot evolve to a higher plane of love until every one's basic needs are satisfied. Thus it is a supreme act of spirit to ensure that you and your families' physical needs for survival are met. Then expand your generosity to neighbors, community, county, state, region, country, continent, and world. It starts with giving to yourself first. Give to yourself the feeling of your basic needs being fulfilled and celebrate life with truth, simplicity and love. Helping Other People Evolve offers H.O.P.E. for a better world for everyone to embrace and in-joy the human experience.
