So what is life all about, anyway?

"Givingness"

Life undoubtedly belongs to the ones who take it. But how can one take it unless we first give it. It is impossible. So true givingness is the transmitting of the self to everything we do, no matter what it is-the outpouring of ourselves into every undertaking with an enthusiastic zest, love, kindness, and friendliness.

Th law of mental polarity, cause, and effect, that that which goes out comes back the way it went out, PLUS the intensification of that which it has contacted en route (like minds?). If we dislike someone he will feel it, no matter what we say....Why is there antagonism and resisitance? It is because we are giving it lipservice. In reality we cannot fool God or each other. There is something in us that knows the real from the false. It is because in the Universe we cannot set up a camouflage. There is an all knowing eye, and all hearing ear, and all knowing mind, and we cannot resist the inevitabilities of the law of our own being. We are not able to make bargains with life! We should give only when the gift and the giver are one and the same.

If we want to get the most from life, we can only do it as we have first given the most of ourselves. Then the response comes back to us multiplied.

Universal Law was the original giver. Life gives by imparting ITSELF to the object of it's desire. But how could there be a givingness unless there were and equal acceptance? We must set up a receiving center! No matter how abundantly the horn of plenty may pour out its universal gifts, we must be able to hold up the bowl of acceptance or the gift cannot be complete.

Life is ready to give us all that we desire, but we must first cast from us everything that hinders its complete expression through us; let go of struggle and strife, and accept the Divine Bounty. Then we must be willing to share what we received.

We could allow the gifts of Life to flow out of everything we touch, everyone we meet, every situation we contact. Then, where ever we go, every situation is blessed, every person is helped, every discord is harmonized, without our being conscious of it. Just as automatically as we cast a shadow we can train the mind that automatically something shall flow from us to bless everything in our world. This is our birthrite.

AND SO IT IS!
