What of Giving and Having?

Last week a new friend told me short comings of “want” in front of a Chinese restaurant.  While we decided that “choose” was a good replacement for “want,” “want” has been so pervasive in vernacular that full divorce is taking time.  So, the search for additional tools to wean myself of “want” continues…

As blogged later last week, other alternatives for “want” include various synonyms of choose:

  • decide
  • pick
  • embrace
  • prefer
  • desire
  • like
  • fancy
  • love

 On a slightly different tack, there is a form of The Law of Attraction ( LOA ) called The Law of Circulation ( LOC ).

The LOC states when we give freely, whatever we give circulates and is given back to us, some would say ten fold. 

This concept of give and it is given is an old one and is included in many ancient venerable texts such as the bible:

 “Give, and it shall be given unto you in good measure pressed down, and shaken together, and running over… for with the same measure that Ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”  Luke 6:38

 It is important to note that in giving, we give freely, and without desire for getting.  We cannot give what we do not have.  So, when we give, we acknowledge freely to ourselves that we gave because we have.

It is also important not to give till it hurts.  If it hurts as we give, hurt is put into circulation and hurt comes back to us.

If we give not freely, when we get it too will come back not freely, that is at a cost.

So as we give, we should give freely.

If we give freely and lovingly, it then comes back to us freely and lovingly through LOC.

What then if we “want” a cheeseburger?  What if we “give” a cheeseburger to someone, perhaps a friend?

If we want love, how about we give love to someone?

If we want money, what if we give money freely to some worthy cuase or person?

Remember, wanting is lacking.  We could just as easily have said or thought “lack” in each of the above “want” sentences.

Since we cannot give what we do not have, if we give love to someone, we are giving what we have.   As we know, through LOA we get more of what we have.  Thus we increase the love in our lives through its giving.

When we freely give love, we might then just have more love.

Give freely all you give.

Yours in love,

Yucel

    It has been most recently for me that this has been shown to be the right path…first to “give” what it is you seek, so that what it is you seek will be “given” to you. After reading this blog…I know now how right it is!
    Thanks Yucel, I knew you were an amazing friend the day I met you!
