When we lose oue connection to God’s love and peace we feel empty and, consiously or un-consciously, the need to fill that emptiness becomes the motivation behind much of what we do.
Ultimately, we turn to the material world, using people and things in an attempt to fill the void within. This makes us into -TAKER’S’.. Beggars of Life, always lookings for ways to get more for ourselves.
Taking is behind the real meaning of sin, or the mistakes of the soul. Trying to get from others what only God can provide is to ‘mis(s)’ the right place to ‘take’ from. This ‘mis(s)- taking’ is contrary to our orginial, inner capacity for sovereignty.
The opposite of sin is spiritual charity, which means pure, altruistic giving. This begins to happen automatically, as the soul remembers its truth and forges a relationship with the Supreme. We then flow like a river, becoming tireless, Uncondiritonal servers.
Spirritual charity like this transforms us from beggars into kings, the self- sovereigns, the true children of God.
Self- transformation at this level leads to world transformation.
The world truly can, and will, change. However, only when we truly change, first.
