Giving and Receiving.

This is a repeat post of a blog i wrote back on May 04, 2008.

I just feel the message is appropriate now for those who have lost a bit of focus when you feel the urge to pull out that plastic card and follow the mainstream crush to find that perfect Holiday gift.

Is it better to give than to receive? It really doesn't matter. Spend money -- go ahead--- shop until you drop if that makes you FEEL good. There is absolutely nothing wrong in that.

It's not about how much money you spend anyway, or how many gifts you give

or how many times you insist that you go to church or believe in God,  nope God loves all of us

It's not even about how many times you say the rosary, fast, meditate, beat yourself up, or admit you have "sinned",  it's not even the number of (mistakes) you made,  because you surely won't stop making mistakes until the day you die.

Life's  true meaning is?

                    JUST BE

......BE!!!!!!!!.......or not to be ...that is the question,...(didn't i hear this somewhere before??lol)   so be,   [happy, sad, depressed,  joyful, free-spirited, lonely, content, angry-etc.]

We are constantly in a process  of  BECOMING.

Our only real enemies besides ourselves, are guilt and fear, because it keeps us from living the full passionate life we are all meant to live, OR BECOMING THE PERSON WE IMAGINE OURSELVES TO BE.......get it?!

Oh, i forgot ..........what good is all this if you do not show your fellow brothers and sisters COMPASSION.

We are all spiritual brothers and sisters.

So Give.....Give......Give,     

     GIVING AND RECEIVING ARE THE SAME THING

What i give to another ...........in ultimate-reality i am giving to myself.

This is why our hearts swell up when we do something nice for someone besides our self.

                      It's "self" giving to "self"

.......the highest and ultimate truth of them all  is that there is only                      ONE OF US
