"Oneness with our Source is achieved by becoming like It, and Its
essence is giving and sharing. Therefore, in order to know our purpose
and heed our ultimate call to inspiration, we must also become a being
who’s more focused on sharing than on receiving.
This Universe
works on the Law of Attraction—so the more we shift the focus from our
desires to wanting more for others, the richer we become. When we tell
the Universe to “Gimme, gimme, gimme,” it responds in like fashion, and
we find ourselves feeling put upon and out of balance. But when we ask
the Universe, “How may I share?” it will ask, “How may I share with you?
You are a being of sharing, and I return the same energy back to you.”
Now this may at first seem absurd, particularly if we’ve been raised on
an ego consciousness that’s stressed the need to “look out for number
one,” and “get what I can before someone else does.” But I assure you
that when we make the transformation to a being of sharing, the question
of how to become inspired will disappear. So whenever we find ourselves
“wanting more,” the solution is to do more for society, for humanity,
or for the environment. Any act of sharing as a response to our wants
leads to feeling inspired. The fact is, it just plain feels good to do
something for others.
When I completed writing The Power of
Intention a couple of years ago, for instance, I had such a glorious
feeling of having been guided through the writing that I wanted to
express my gratitude in some way other than taking credit for it or
thinking about myself. That’s when I thought of my personal editor,
Joanna Pyle, who has taken my disjointed thoughts and ramblings and
turned them into cohesive books for over three decades. I knew that in
all of her 65 years, my friend had never known the joy of owning a new
car—it simply hadn’t been a priority in her life. So I arranged for
Joanna to receive a brand-new camper van as an expression of my
gratitude for all of her brilliant editing, going back to the 1970s. In
that single act of sharing, I received as much joy and fulfillment as I
did from writing the contents of a book that consumed me for almost a
year.
Understand that this isn’t necessarily about giving our
possessions or money away; rather, it’s about living in the same
vibrational energy as our Source and attracting that energy in each
other. It’s about thinking of others before ourselves and offering the
love we feel for all of life, first in our thoughts and then in our
actions . . . and that’s how we make a connection to inspiration. This
is because we’ve become one with our Source in thought and then action,
or as Goethe puts it so perfectly, “[W]e still possess the greatest of
all freedoms, the power of developing our innermost selves in harmony
with the moral order of the Universe, and so winning peace at heart.” A
being of sharing frequently thinks in those terms.
When we
contemplate our Creator, we realize that God simply gives and imparts
without demanding anything in return. We aren’t required to give to, pay
homage to, or do anything for God. It’s our demands that distance us
from feeling inspired—so we need to let go of them and extend ourselves
in an attitude of sharing. I speak here of an inner transformation in
which extending love outward is our predominant disposition. This can
take the form of a silent blessing toward someone we might have
previously judged, a loving greeting, a kind remark, or a thought
wishing the highest good for all concerned. As simple as it sounds, this
is the ultimate impetus for feeling inspired.
This is the true understanding of what life is all about.
TRY IT."
