WHO AM I?
I am
the giver.
Is a gift
a gift if you expect it?
If it’s some sort of “payback” then it’s
not a gift, but an exchange. If you did something for me and now you expect me
to give you a gift in return, is that a gift? If I expect because I’m your kid,
or your dad, then it’s not “gift” giving, but “exchanging presents”. Not a
gift.
When you are totally amazed and shocked
and surprised by receiving something – when it is absolutely unexpected - then you
have received a TRUE gift. And what the thing is that is given doesn’t make any
difference because what is given is the giver.
Out of Thoughtfulness into form. It’s the
fact that the giver has thought enough about you that they somehow got the gift
and gave it to you in whatever form or fashion it needed to come to be
appropriate. Big, small, crude, exquisite, costly, inexpensive, physical or
spiritual.
WHAT DO I WANT?
Who is worthy to receive the totally
amazing and totally shocking and absolutely surprising gift?
You are!
Why would you say that you don’t deserve
such a thing?
You say you don’t deserve such a thing
because it has never happened, yet?
Oh, yes it did.
You were born, weren’t you?
Everyone of us who has been born, has
been born into a world of total surprise. You had no expectations. You were
given the whole world when you were born. You were absolutely worthy of such a
gift for no special reason other than you were born.
And now, here you are, and what has
changed? Nothing. You were worthy then, you’re worthy now. You are the RECEIVER
of the gift. Still the perfect receiver. The perfect receiver perfectly matches
the giver. Perfectly.
WHY AM I HERE?
Why is
the perfect receiver here?
So the
giver may arise.
What is
the gift that the giver actually gives you?
What is
ANY genuine gift which you have ever given, really? You. The giver. You have
given yourself.
What is
any genuine gift you have ever received? The giver. They gave themselves to
you.
You are the gift which another giver has
given and we have received those gifts which that other gives us. Only through
living our lives do we understand what we have been given and what we receive.
Surprised?
Just ask and you shall receive.
