3-48. Just give. Give as God gives, endlessly and freely. Have no thought of return, recognition or appreciation. Give Love to everyone. They have great need of what you uniquely can offer to them.
What is asked of you - to transform giving into Giving - seems intractably wasteful and exhausting to the ego, for the ego knows only separation and isolation, whereas God Knows only the Unity that is the essence of Love. When you are asked to give, to the ego you are being requested to loose. This the ego will rail against most fervently, for the ego is greedy in a manner that defies all logical definition, and the ego will not voluntarily surrender all that it has acquired, a vestigial desire for possession as some form of bulwark against a cessation of existence that the ego knows must occur but that the ego equally fears as well, in spite of the truth that all that is illusionary must end, for shadows cannot ever take the place of all that is Light. To give in a manner that the ego understands is to be removed of something of value, and from the logical structures of the ego’s understanding of this world, such an exchange without proper remuneration is both unacceptable and undesirable in the utmost extreme. Yet that is not the genuine Nature of what it is to Give, and so it is merely a misunderstanding on the part of the ego that dissuades you from pursuing such a practice and life path. All that is Given without thought of recognition or return is not lost, it is reflected accurately through the Heart of God, for all that is Given with generosity and in the interest of being in alignment with a recognition of Unity is Known and appreciated. All that is Unitary is but One Love, and all that is of God is as this. As such, when you Give in this manner, nothing is lost and all that could possibly be gained from such an interaction is indeed received by you, transforming your receipt of another’s appreciation, even if it is not expressed in a manner that you would prefer, into a genuine energetic Receiving from God, for God will substitute for any other Child of God all that would have otherwise been reflected, if they had been possessed of their right and clear mind at the time that your accurate Reflection of Truth was presented to them, no manner the form within which you elected to present yourself a paragon of genuineness. This exchange does not involve any form of loss, for all that is rendered in Service to another must, by logical extension of the Unity that is the underlying construction of All That Is, also perform a Service for you as well. To see or state otherwise is but to forget to observe the nature of reality, for Unity is the construct upon which all other temporary alignments are founded, and so all that traverses through all of the alternating layers of perceived reality that you employ to make sense of a world that seems confusing in the utmost will unfailingly arrive at this central repository of Truth, then to be Given back unto you for your use however you may see fit. To say that you are unique is but a aphorism of the Truth, for you are much more than simply a singular expression of a Unitary whole. You are not just the direct representation of universal awareness now experiencing what is to that awareness a seemingly singular existence - you contain within your depths all that is Known throughout all of time. How else could you be effectively Guided during all of the interactions that may arise, if you did not already contain a fount of knowledge that cannot be severed from its Source? Was it other than your own heart, such a bastion of infinite access to the Mind of God, from which all that was needed arose and was then presented to your healing mind? If you think that God exists outside of you or your continuation beyond all of the limits of time, then you still believe that there could be any manner within which all that is of God is not of you as well. That is not so, but it will always appear to be the truth of your muddled perception, for the ego cannot fathom any concept of unity other than the very cursory manners within which the ego’s barriers are temporarily renounced, for in those instances, the ego sleeps and Love Awakens in your heart. Yet there is a contradiction here that the ego cannot resolve. If Love is to Awaken when the ego retires from the centrality of your focused awareness, then how could Love be eternal? Surely it must be fleeting, an experience that is temporary and that arises only upon the fulfillment of certain specialized conditions, such as a moment within which you experience a genuine feeling of Love for another, an arising that is most commonly associated with the love that parents feel for their children, and vice versa. But that is not the entirety of Love, that is but one of its multitude of expressions and it is not temporary at all. What is temporary is the conditions that arise that appear to make it possible that Love could only be Experienced when certain conditions are fulfilled, rather than being a state of being that is accessible at all times, in all places, and without regard for the willingness or opposition of any other Child of God. Such is the universality of Love - it is not bound by anything at all, yet the ego will not easily relinquish its hold over your mind, for the ego desires sustainment in all things and it will fight viciously to gain what it has for so long coveted - your undivided attention and allegiance. And so are you presented with a simple choice, but one that seems shot through with impossibilities, for as long as you remain willing to believe that it is possible for your heart to be divided in any manner at all. You can elect Love, and offer it freely, or you can restrain yourself and attempt to savor what it is that was Created to be forever Free. This is your choice, but only one is sane. To attempt to disregard the Nature of Love, and to hold it fast against your chest, lest you be deprived of its warmth, is to effectively state to yourself that you believe yourself to be able to be devoid of love. Yet that cannot be, for all that is Love is also of God, and all that is of God is Infinite - there can be no exceptions or qualifications to this edict of Truth. As such, when you offer to another Love without any thought of acknowledgement, what you are actually performing is a Service that cannot be exhausted - you are becoming wholly present within the present moment, and in doing so you join that which is of this world of form, which of course is always temporary in its essence, with Love Itself, which is always eternal and unchanging, no matter which form it might be requested to take so that it can be best understood by another who has not yet found a way to unify all of their mind with the quiet certainty of their heart. This Service is as much Given to God as it is to another, for it recognizes only that which is Eternal within the heart of another, passing over all that is a ideation of the ego, and so it pierces all of the hidden veils that the ego desires to throw up in the interest of preserving its own reign. There can be but one Truth that is universal in scope and inalterable in nature - that is the Truth that we are all Unitary with God and with Love. Accepting this completely makes it not just impossible, but also abjectly pointless to attempt to propose any reason why it might be that attempting to be of Service to another would not also entail a Service rendered unto your own heart as well. Every moment that is spent outside of the ego’s iron grip of irrational fear is a moment of the most pure and poignantly perfect liberation. Each is a drop of the most beautiful and infinitely refreshing clarity, now transforming giving into Receiving, for nothing is lost within the scope of all that is Real, and all that can happen is either a transformation into ever higher levels of understanding and awareness, or a relegation of any particular moment into an instant of time that was not used to its maximum degree. Of this you can be assured - to Give and to Receive have no disparate dislocation in Truth, for they are but twin aspects of a singular force of Creation that extends throughout all of time itself. What you choose to share with others, your purest expression of your Light, wholly unrefined by your mind and undiluted by your ego, is Given to everyone equally. And that word - everyone - must absolutely include you as well. Give, Child of God, and in doing so you will come to transform your knowing of the Nature of Love into a Knowing that will become an Experience that brings you the Peace that has no end and no diminution at all.
