About Giving

[Jack]

I heard that if we give to other people,then we receive too.So if we give money to other people,we should receive money.For example,if i give all of my money to other people,will i receive more money?

Giving love usually gets you love, but if you have no money how can you give money to get it?

Money is abundance is another guise.

You don't have to give money away to get it. When you get love in return, it's because you're actually love inside, then it ripples out until love comes to you. Your entire reality is a reflection of your inner self.

When you're abundance inside, you will find abundance outside. No one really gives you anything, your natural state is bestowal, the state of being is giving, so when you accept your natural state, you open the floodgates of giving.

I guess it depends on how you view the world, I see humanity as one entity with many parts kinda like your body is one entity but made of many cells, which make organs, which make your body. If we are all one, helping another is helping yourself, if we are all separate, with no connection at all this view doesn't work. If you use the analogy of a body you could see where your survival depends on the survival of others and for you to thrive, the whole should thrive. My personal belief is that by attending to the needs of those that truly need to be helped we elicit a response from the whole to reward us for our efforts and to help make us even more capable to help out.

I believe there are other ways that giving can help us clear emotional issues and some of them where mentioned in another thread specifically about giving. I suggest committing to trying it out for at least 90 days and just see for yourself if it works, this one you can test, and get objective results.

I don't buy it. Only once i get damn rich, i will consider giving some money away, to causes that i believe in. Until then, i completely encourage those who think that giving money away is a good thing. If anyone feels like practicing this noble action, PM me and i'll give you my account number

Exactly. You don't give money to get it and in fact doing so means you're afriad that the system or process works on a trade basis which it doesn't.

We create all our manifestations inside and they enter reality when we have created them properly, if they don't enter reality, then we're creating their opposites.

When you're decided and chosen what you want inside, it will manifest outside, if it doesn't you've chosen something else.

The act of giving is also a powerful affirmation to yourself that there is an unlimited supply, so much, in fact that you can give it away.

Giving is a way of "acting as if", especially for those who say, "I'll give when I'm rich", which creates a dissonance because you have associated the two actions with each other and made them dependent upon each other.

I stand by my challenge, try it for 90 days and watch.

I don't buy into this affirmation stuff anyways. I also don't believe that there's an unlimited supply of money waiting for me outside my window. WHat i do believe in is that all of us are able to get very rich, but it takes time and effort. So money is really time and effort. Since i don't have either an unlimited supply of time and effort, i will not give away as if i had and could get as much of it as i wanted.

Oh, you are a time and effort person, you probably will get better results if you just get 3 jobs.

The ego really stands up and beats it's chest when people talk about giving, it's a separateness "thing". To me, giving is an affirmation of my faith in the universe as a benevolent, unlimited, unrestrained, intelligent and organizing entity.

Heheh i must laugh at this statement. I don't want to show off, but i'll not have to have a "normal job" (dumb work, working for a boss that's not you). Even though i would if i needed to (because i've always been determined to be rich), i'll not need to, since, as you guys would call it, i have "manifested", in US dollars value, around 700,000. I will now work a lot more by investing it in a business and stocks/real estate. I don't consider myself rich yet, but i know i will get there, after years or WORK on the money (smart work).

I will not give away any piece of it, in fact, before i "manifested" it (even before i joined stevepavlina.com), i never felt like sharing money. As i said before, i will only consider giving money away once i feel like i have enough of my own. I don't buy the "the more you give the more you receive" principle.

Yeah IM. Did you ask for a new BMW right away? What do you mean "mostly"? Did you have results at all?

Nothing in, nothing out.

It's better to give than to receive, because the reward for giving, is receiving.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

No. I started doing small tests like focusing for 2 weeks my thoughts on finding coins in the street. Didn't find any damn coin
I also did other small tests, like trying to make a certain stock go up and other stuff. I said "mostly" because sometimes it worked (like in the stock example; sometimes it will go up and sometimes it will go down; LoA appearently didn't influence the odds).

If i remember anything else i'll say it here.

You'll see exactly what you expect to see...

The room illusion

Now apply what you see here, to the expectation you have for IM... Do you expect IM to work or to not work...

Life's like a ride in an amusement park, and when you go on it you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up, down and round and round, it has thrills and chills, it's brightly colored, it's very loud and It's fun for a while...

Some have been on the ride for a while and they begin to question "is this real or is this just a ride" and other people have remembered and they come back to us and they say "hey, don't worry about it, cuz this is just a ride"

A little charity won't hurt if it's within your means.

But it doesn't work that way.

You can give something away that doesn't diminish from you and have it return to you tenfold in other forms.

For example, give of your time, your energy, your effort, your knowledge, your expertise, your value, and help as many people as you can with all that you can give, and wealth in various forms (money, love, relationships, etc) WILL come to you.

It's common sense!
