One gives freely yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
Proverbs 11:24-25
Welcome back, everyone. This week, I have decided not to do a newsletter in the ordinary sense of just relaying information. Still, I wanted to talk to you all about the fundamental truth and process of the power behind giving and receiving.
Before jumping in, I would like to say that I am not a highly religious person, but the passage above, which is from the bible, for those of you who have never seen this passage, really just hits giving and receiving right on the proverbial nail.
Now that this has been cleared up let’s jump into this week’s post as I take this next step toward becoming positively improved.
The Talk
Over the years, there has been a lot of knowledge and information about the concept behind the process of giving and receiving. Yet, if you take the time to observe, you will notice that so many people do not understand this concept despite all the knowledge that is out there on this very subject.
This is why it would be a good topic to discuss since this is the week of Christmas and the season for giving and receiving. So that’s get right into the subject. The fundamental truth of giving and receiving is that you must first give to align yourself to receive vibrationally.
Only some understand what I mean when I say to align yourself vibrationally. So, allow me to break it down.
To vibrationally align yourself means that you have to mentally set the intention, emotionally be open to whatever may or may not unfold, and spiritually be aligned to the energy flowing all around you simultaneously. When you do this, you are vibrationally aligned; when you are vibrationally aligned, you are also connected to the source of all life. And through this connection, what you most need or want will manifest almost like magic.
Back to the fundamental truth, which states that you must give first to align yourself to receive vibrationally. Meaning that things don’t work out well when you expect that you will receive first before you give. An example would be to say to win the lottery, and you promise yourself that when you win, you will help out this person or that person.
In this scenario, in order to receive, you would first have to take care of those people, and then you would align yourself to win the lottery. However, it should be noted that although you will align yourself to receive, this does not mean you will receive what you think you deserve. People often receive what they need rather than what they want. Most people who receive something other than what they want seem to need help seeing why they didn’t receive what they wanted.
It usually isn’t until much later that they figure out they received what they needed, and things actually turned out perfectly despite the fact it was not what they wanted.
So, let me talk about this aspect of the process. Why do we do our part and give others what they need but do not get what we want in return? The biggest reason you received something other than what you wanted is that you didn’t emotionally, mentally, and spiritually align with this outcome. Remember to connect to the source; you must first align yourself vibrationally.
If you received something else, it was because this is what you believed on some level you needed more than whatever you wanted, and thus, this is what you received. Now that you have a better understanding of the giving and receiving process let’s get into some facts that help you better see the importance of it.
For example, did you know that both giving and receiving get dopamine flowing, but when you give something of value to another, that good feeling will last longer? Or did you know that giving can inspire worldly changes while receiving can only inspire personal transformation? Giving can make many people happy, but receiving only makes you happy.
The underlying point here is giving is about and benefits others, and receiving only benefits only you. Both are important, and both produce many of the same outcomes, just in different ways.
Allow me to bring this to a close with a story I was told many years ago. A man finds himself standing in a hallway with two closed doors. He opened the first door, and to his surprise, he saw six people sitting around a table, but they were thin and shriveled up. What caught him off guard most was that they had very long arms, and their hands were spoons. He noticed how, because their arms were like this, they could not eat any of the magnificent food on the table they were sitting around. This struck him as the weirdest thing he had ever seen. So he closed the first door, walked down the hall, and opened the second door and immediately noticed that these six people, although the same, were well-fed and happy.
At first, he could not understand why one set of people were starving and the other were not. As he watched, he began to notice that in the first room, they were only interested in caring for themselves, and in the second room, they were taking care of each other. He began to completely understand that caring for others brings the greatest joy and benefit.
Final Thoughts:
I hope you see that receiving itself is not selfish, but taking care of yourself while neglecting others is. I also hope that you understand that giving to others and serving them well in whatever way you choose to serve will always bring the most significant value and benefit to others as well as you. When it comes down to it, giving will always hold greater power of the two, but both can heal, uplift, and Inspire.
I hope that you got some value out of this conversation. If you know anyone who could use this information, please share it with them. If you want to share anything on this topic, please feel free to do so in the comment section below.
