Generosity of Spirit

Generosity in Action and Being. 

            How did the human race become so stingy?  Stinginess is learned, based on fear of not-enoughness. We assume that life is made of sacrifices that purify us enough to be worthy of our Source—as if there’s something fundamentally wrong with us that needs to be absolved by withholding from ourselves. 

            Generosity is natural to our spirit and consequently can’t be repressed. It will simply leak out, but in unhealthy ways that spoil us and starve the soul.  Natural generosity becomes convoluted.  Ironically, the best way that we can measure appropriate giving to ourselves and others is to accept our innate generosity and allow spirit, in its infinite wisdom, to open the throttle of Divine Flow that guide us to become Vessels of Outpouring. 

            Could you spare it?  We try to talk people down rather than meet their price (financially, emotionally, mentally) much less leave a big tip.  Stinginess is contagious.  When others are stingy with us, we match them. Then everyone is cheap. We become shabby representatives of spirit and pull in the reins—not letting ourselves be the “bigger” person. Not wanting to be taken advantage of, if others don’t appreciate our generosity we contract into ungiving.  But generosity can’t hurt us when it flows from our spirit. It only expands our being. 

            Stinginess crimps energy, narrows experience, shrinks vision, blocks potential and closes the doors of life.  Spirit is boundless. So why curb ourselves?  We haven’t begun to tap its limitlessness.  The magnitude of possibility peaks in to get our attention when we least expect
