To give is to receive.\"12604785_1022941421077713_5572876705644528201_o\"<\/a>
\nTo love is to be loved.
\nThe balance is always there.
\nMany choose not to recognize it.
\nTo align with the balance is complete and total freedom.
\nFreedom to be yourself.
\nYour authentic self.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To give is to receive.
\nThe gift is the giving.
\nThe rules of money often obstruct the giving.
\nThe rules of money can be re-written.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To give is to receive.
\nGiving can appear in many forms.
\nGiving can be in a loving thought.
\nGiving can be intentionally sending loving energy.
\nGiving can be doing a favour.
\nGiving can be an act of kindness.
\nGiving can be a service.
\nIn the world today, giving can be simply being your truest, most authentic self.
\nSpeaking your truest, most authentic loving message.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giving can be playing in your most authentic self.
\nSimply having fun.
\nSome were taught that this is selfish.
\nBut serving yourself is a gift.
\nA gift in your example.
\nA model to others.
\nSelfish is a word that holds little truth.
\nSelf-loving is an art … and a science.\"5<\/a>
\nSelf-love is an art … and a science.
\nTo express yourself is to love yourself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Expression can come in many forms.
\nExpression can be thoughts to yourself.
\nExpression can be written words.
\nExpression can be pictures drawn.
\nPictures painted.
\nPhotographs taken.
\nSongs sung.
\nSongs played on a variety of instruments.
\nThe human voice is an important instrument.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To give is to receive.
\nA paradox … of Beautiful Truth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(Phone rings and rings during the live transmission.)
\nEvery time the phone rings, there is a choice.
\nFeel into that choice.
\nThis is true for every stimulus that comes into your awareness.
\nThe choice of how to respond to that stimulus.
\nWhether it be a sound, a smell, a sight.
\nThe world is alive with … Perceptions.
\nThe five physical senses.
\nBut other senses also.
\nWe each play our role.
\nWe each choose our alignment.
\nHow to use our awareness.
\nIt is a choice.
\nFreedom … is available … to everyone.<\/p>\n

(Exactly 20 minutes, cut off. \u00a0Was done. \u00a0I felt the blend leave suddenly. \u00a0Sat and noticed thoughts entering. \u00a0At 23 minutes, stopped. Checked video. \u00a0It had stopped at 20 min. Speech started at 9 minutes.\u00a0 It is transcribed above without editing.\u00a0 Came out fluidly mostly 1 or 2 sentences at a time.\u00a0 Short pauses between.\u00a0 It was not rushed. Very typical of how my poem-style writings come down.\u00a0 My habit is to dictate into my ipad note. This is less efficient but I can be in a deeper trance.\u00a0 Will keep experimenting.)<\/p>\n

A big message I have repeatedly received is to include Raw Data.\u00a0 Do not attempt to interpret for others.\u00a0 Allow them to have their own experience.\u00a0 Discern for themselves.\u00a0 Notice I did not choose the word judge?\u00a0 It was by design.
\nI recorded this message transmission as homework from my Mentor in Mediumship.\u00a0 We had just completed a session.\u00a0 I started recording this Raw Data <\/strong>within 10 minutes of my session with my Arthur Findlay College Tutor.\u00a0 I uploaded the video privately onto the brand new Beautiful Truth You Tube Channel.\u00a0 It feels very private but may be released at a future date if it served in some way.
\nDuring our session my Tutor was inspired to read an excerpt from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.\u00a0 The introduction of the theme of Giving. By chance, the message was aligned to a part of our prior discussion.
\nThe Excerpt he read:<\/p>\n

Then said a rich man, Speak to us of Giving.
\nAnd he answered:
\nYou give but little when you give of your possessions.
\nIt is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
\nFor what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow?
\nAnd tomorrow, what shall tomorrow bring to the over prudent dog burying bones in the trackless sand as he follows the pilgrims to the holy city?
\nAnd what is fear of need but need itself?
\nIs not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?<\/em><\/p>\n

There are those who give little of the much which they have–and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
\nAnd there are those who have little and give it all.\"'Bowl<\/a>
\nThese are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.
\nThere are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
\nAnd there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
\nAnd there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;
\nThey give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
\nThrough the hands as such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes
\nHe smiles upon the earth.
\n(My Mentor stopped here but the verse continues below.)<\/em><\/p>\n

It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding;<\/em>
\n And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving.<\/em>
\n And is there aught you would withhold?<\/em>
\n All you have shall some day be given;<\/em>
\n Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors’.<\/em><\/p>\n

You often say, “I would give, but only to the deserving.”<\/em>
\n The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.<\/em>
\n They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.<\/em>
\n Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights, is worthy of all else from you.<\/em>
\n And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.<\/em>
\n And what desert greater shall there be, than that which lies in th<\/em>e courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving?<\/em>
\n And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed?<\/em>
\n See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.\"12662575_1631194830477755_8110422285588180222_n\"<\/a><\/em>
\n For in truth it is life that gives unto life–while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.<\/em><\/p>\n

And you receivers–and you are all receivers–assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. <\/em>
\nRather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings;<\/em>
\nFor to be over-mindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free-hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
\nEND<\/em><\/p>\n

I received The Prophet as a gift on my 21st Birthday from my dear friend and roommate at the time. I was reminded upon reading the inscription on the first page!\u00a0 I read it then.\u00a0 I feel I am perceiving it differently today.\u00a0 Interesting.<\/p>\n
