IS HEALING CERTAIN? (continued)
It is not the function of God's teachers to evaluate the outcome of their gifts. It is merely their function to give them. Once they have done that, they have also given the outcome, for that is part of the gift. No one can give if he is concerned with the result of the giving. That is a limitation on the giving itself, and neither the giver nor the receiver would have the gift. Trust (in the Word of God) is an essential part of giving; in fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver will not lose but only gain. Who gives a gift and then remains with it to be sure it is used as the giver deems appropriate? Such is not giving but imprisonment.
It is the relinquishing of all concern about the gift that makes it truly given. And it is trust that makes true giving possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit in the patient's mind is seeking for him. And it is the Holy Spirit in the mind of the giver Who gives the gift to Him.
God's treasure house can never be empty. And if one gift were missing it would not be full. Yet is its fullness guaranteed by God. What concern, then, can a teacher of God have about what becomes of his gfits? Given by God to God, who in this holy exchange can receive less than everything? |
Read an excerpt on YOU ARE LIGHT from The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav
What, then, are you to
learn to give...? See no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of
God he is, “I give you to the
Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released,
unless I want to use you to imprison myself... In the name of
my freedom I will your release, Because I recognize that we will
be released together.”
Chap 15 - “Giving to get” is an inescapable law of the ego...To the ego, to give anything implies that you will do without it... then, you give only because you believe that you are somehow getting something better...Chap 4 - The Ego and False Autonomy The sinless give as they received...See, then, the power of sinlessness within your brother, and share with him the power of the release from sin you offered him. Chap 20 - Entering the Arc We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ... And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as well. Lesson 158 - Today I learn to give as I receive. In kind forgiveness His step is light, and
as he lifts his foot to stride ahead a star is left behind, to
point the way to those who follow him.
