Hi everyone,
In a phone session with Holly Springfield about a month ago, I found myself sobbing, throat hurting. My throat hurt because something was longing to be expressed. The sobbing came from my terror to utter the words:
"I just want to help people, but I don't know how..."
As if responding to a Call, Life has shown several new things to me. I'd like to share one now.
It starts with the insight that in order to help others, I must also be willing to ask for help. I am asking for help, right now. I believe that, in turn, I can help those who respond to this request.
About a week ago, I recieved a call from a teacher of mine whom I have known for 7 or 8 years. She told me about a gifting program she had discovered. She was very excited about it. I give her testimony below:
Peggie D.
"In my case, I felt like a plant that’s all wilted from lack of water… Hearing about the need for having "a gifting spirit and a gifting heart"… and the idea that I could perhaps… at least have the opportunity to… move through Faith, Hope and Charity in the next month and receive gifts of $8400… I began to perk up. I remember telling [a friend] that I couldn’t get two people, but if he could help me, then maybe I could do this. He reminded me that this was a team effort and that the team would be there for me… and he put me on a 3-way [call with another person in the program], and I met a most wonderful person, leader, and coach. In the beginning, I couldn’t even get my computer to get into the Website, John walked me through it all the way… literally held my hand – gave me a fish then taught me how to fish.
"My first gift was unbelievable. The doorbell rang – Fed Ex handed me a package, I opened it … but never expected to feel such a wonderful feeling of gratitude. In my hands I held a message – This is a Gift of Love to Peggie D. That was the greatest gift I could have received. I thought Life had dumped a truckload of lemons on me over the last few years and I had lost my joy and enthusiasm for this magnificent life… but on the day I received that first gift everything changed for me… and the "gifting spirit and the gifting heart" came to bloom in me. And the money… well, I don’t know what I would have done without gifting… but it seemed to bring the money in just the right amounts at just the right time. Amazing. Miraculous. Wonderful. What more can I say. All aspects of Gifting, for me, have truly been a Gift from God. One day, in the middle of all this wonderfulness I thought "I can do this!" I have moved through Faith, into Hope and on my way to Charity… great names and great qualities that seem to bloom forth on this new plant (person) that I am becoming.
"I love sharing the idea, the philosophy and the opportunities that gifting provides. It makes getting up every day a new adventure eagerly anticipated and enjoyed."
_________________
I, too have joined this gifting program. It is about unconditional giving. It is about integrity, because it requires me to do what I say I'm going to do. It's about helping others, because I will not benefit unless I work with those linked to me.
I wanted to share this program with those in this forum for three reasons:
1) I believe in the Law of Return: that which I give unconditionally is returned to me many times over. This program is an energy exchange. Since I just started this two days ago, I have not recieved a penny in return for my gift. This is an exercise in Trust for me. Trust that I will recieve in the measure that I am willing to give, to support others in their success.
2) Again, I am accountable and responsible (ABLE to RESPOND) to others in the program. It helps me grow the Spirit of Mutuality. This gifting program is Web-based. The software that manages it was developed and is administered by a third-party company. It ensures that everyone benefits impartially, and everyone does what they say they are going to do.
3) I have observed in phone bridges and trainings (in this and other groups) that many of those who are committed to spiritual Freedom struggle financially. I am such a One.
I know I'm not alone.
Even so, right now I feel an anxiety, a fear that I will be admonished for somehow "tainting" this Forum with something that is not "Spritual". Interesting belief, is it not? Might this not have some direct bearing on the lack that is showing up in my life?
I think so. And I am willing to risk and accept responsibility for your reactions of like kind. If you feel compelled to admonish me so, feel free to do so. But please remember that this message is sent with a humble Heart. Chances are, because of its structure I will not personally or directly benefit from your participation in this gifting program. That is the whole point, for me.
Our bodies, our physical needs in this place, are sacred too! To continue our Path in Being we can choose to nurture ourselves and each other, and be no less committed to our paths for this need.
If, however you are drawn to investigate this further please click on my name above to e-mail me with your name, phone number, and the best time to call you.
I am committed to your success in this program.
In Love and Service,
True Knowles
