After years of living a life of bullshit and following the crowd, doing crime out of fear, hatred and self loathing. Living by the attitude I will get mine, I will take mine. Always in a power struggle with friends, the games my so called friends played. Though they acted like bros to my face they worked to keep me down.
And then trying to live the life completely opposite of what I had lived for the past 14 years of my life by attending church again and seeing the good and its power to make my life awesome and good!! But failing to do so and feeling like I am unworthy and unable to become that which the Creator has tasked me to do, which of course led to me right back on the edge of the old life, but this time in frustration and loathing and caution which led to paranoia Having a helicopter over your back for 2months + adds that to you really fast!!
Well that turned out to be a blessing, because I stopped and looked at my whole of life...as far back as I could remember, and I examined my being and what I had left behind me. I examined my thoughts and my beliefs. I questioned why, when I did everything on the law abiding side of life and went to church and changed who I was, did I end up right back where I had begun back in the crazy world with those crazy street people? I told myself that I was living life as a good person, that I was now a good man. Naturally the question, "Am I a good man?" popped into my head. I caught myself saying "I'm going to get mine, I'm going to take mine. I then asked myself how this philosophy of taking mine is working out for me? Not good? Not anywhere near where you thought you should be by now? Did it create for me great joy in abundance? Did it relieve stress and conflict? Did it give me everything I desired? No? NOT AT ALL?? REALLY???
I looked at the thought again.
I Will Take Mine, I Will Get Mine!
Take and Get are self serving words. I asked myself, What are you doing when you are taking? What is the purpose of the physical act of taking? What am I telling my sub-conscious mind when I am taking, when I am living my whole life by the philosophy of taking, and serving the self?
When you are taking, it is for a purpose. You can say the obvious, to serve the self, which leads to the next obvious answer, that you are trying to fill a void inside.
My next thought after this was of physics! lol... I asked my self what happens when you fill a body or a room to it's maximum capacity and continue to fill it with more stuff.
The answer....It builds up pressure until the building or body holding it can no longer tolerate the pressure and it cracks or explodes, depending on how long the body holds the building pressure, before exploding!
This is when the MAGICAL thought hit me!! What happens when you take a vacuum cleaner and reverse it. It clears itself out. And what happens after that if it continues blowing air out? More air rushes in to fill the empty void!!
So what. You may say...
Well there is this little well known law...which states: "Nature Abhors a Vacuum." So when you do the opposite of take, of stuffing yourself and filling yourself, and give and give and give...You are creating a vacuum! And since nature abhors a vacuum, since it will not tolerate empty spaces; when you give of yourself freely, and openly...you are creating a vacuum which something of equal or larger value must immediately come in to replace it, and the more you give the more you are able to stretch out your reality and you will be given more to give!
There is plenty more to the power of GIVE. Please continue with me next time.
P.S. Sorry I have been away for awhile. I have not stopped, and I will write this unto its full completion. So thank you for your patience and for your continued support. =)
Until next time friends, May you forever learn and grow.
