Sharing

To share is to let go of selfish constraints. To share is to believe that the source of one's goods, one's things, one's truth, one's love is bottomless. To share is not to lose, but to allow oneself to be an instrument of the movement of love in the universe. When Jesus said "Freely have you received, freely give", he was referring to sharing, for that which you have to share is a gift to you. You did not create yourselves. Not even your genetic substructure has any consequence from your wishes. You did not, before you were born, decide the color of your eyes, the type of stature that you would possess, your gender, or even your intelligence. These were yours to experience and receive as a gift. Your circumstances at birth were not due to your preplanning. You did not choose your parents. You did not choose your race, etc. As a mortal you exist because it is God's desire to fill the universe with His children.  

But there is a gift that you can give and that is to use your free will choice to share with others. You have the sovereign right to give or to withhold. You have the sovereign right to give to God the only gift that has value for Him, which is the gift of your willingness to do His will; and you have the choice to share your life with others.  

Sharing is not without some risks, for there needs to be a wise discernment on your part as to what, and to whom, and to what extent you share your truth, your love, and yourselves with others. To bring a bright light of truth into the face of one whose eyes are clouded over with unbelief does not result in enlightenment but only in a blinding of that person's mind, and their protective shield of unbelief will be strengthened, rather than reduced. Any sharing on your part that is coercive is counterproductive.  

So, once again, we deal with this topic of giving and receiving, this movement both directions, through those swinging doors that move both ways. To share is basically to give. But in order for someone to receive
sharing, they must be in a reception mode to allow the person who wants to share the gift of giving. As life is in its very nature complicated, so this very topic has many aspects. But the main thing I wish to leave with
you is the understanding that sharing is essentially divine, for it is God's nature of sharing which results in the universe we live in and our very lives themselves. Freely have your received, therefor, freely share.

How so readily do we share that which is peripheral, superficial, the outward form that is so easily managed by mortals and while these may and do offer assistance in many ways, again and again, it is worth remembering, the riverbed is not the river. The water of life welling from within you, flowing into a great river that is our combined efforts, indeed the source of the evolving Supreme who gathers and collects and builds upon each child's efforts to open themselves, liberating that spirit within, allowing, inviting this divine light to wear the clothing of your human personality. How easy it is to share the seen, the concrete expressions whether your writing, your books, your buildings, your leaders, so called. 

Who leads you? Is it not our Father within you and is it not his presence that is sought in your sharing? How so quickly the mortal mind becomes activated not by your spiritual nature, but your animal nature, how so 
quickly this raises its walls, its defense to guard that which it has found to be so precious. That which is most precious, that which you are in truth and in spirit is indestructible, it is that which grows in every encounter, that which is multiplied in each exchange, and while the human heart may experience a retreat, suffer a loss in and through these as well, even especially these moments of disappointment, your spirit moves, our Father is stimulated, his fragment within you discovers new ground in your heart unearthed by this experience. 

Do not neglect the truth, this truth our Father is revealing in and through each of your fellows. There is no boundary to his presence, there is no one he does not know and adore with a divine affection; learn to listen, learn to trust his Supremacy, and as you listen to your fellows, you draw them closer to yourself, you invite their own self-revelation, you invite them to share their heart uncovering the treasure they hold. It is in this moment when trust has been extended, the opportunities are multiplied, and if in this tenderness, another might seek to inject their judgement, implied or explicitly stated, be quick to forgive, learn to allow that space to show mercy, and invite yourself and your friends into that sublime experience of love's compassion, its mercy. 

Let your borders be porous. You are free now from assault; no real harm can come to you in truth. Even in the context of spiritual rebellion your choice is assured and guarded by the wisdom of the Gods of a greater universe who are always seeking to offer mercy. As you proceed in this path of sharing, sharing this contact, sharing your contact with your own indwelling spirit, with the hosts who are gathered here to nurture the garden of your heart's delight, recognize that the boundaries of your mind, those walls that your mind delights to erect are constantly overfilled by the light of our Father, his active presence working to lead you home, that place where you dwell in truth, that place in Paradise which extends itself in and through and well beyond any boundaries of time and space. He sees in perfection that link that each of you are one to the other, all joined in this amassing of our efforts, this gathering of the fruits of every choice, the God of experience evolving in and through your own, whose perfection you will reveal in the course of your destiny. 

Do not trouble yourself that the course of evolution is rugged; the trail is real, it is uncertain, it is designed to cultivate in you a vigor that is heretofore unknown. You all are pioneers exploring the depths of time 
bringing in the fruits of your journeys through space, an offering of yourselves to he who gave it to you, as he gives himself now. 

When the path turns unexpectedly, let us rejoice, for this exercise in time is the foundation of your service in eternity. Come now, let us enter this day confident in the team which walks together, the guides who know well the path, who have designed it for your own stimulation, who have created it as a means of revealing his love. Go now in peace to walk your way; I and we delight to walk with you.
