Do you have a
generous heart? Most of you will answer, "Yes! I definitely
do."
Certainly, that
pronouncement is open to the evaluation and judgment of others. How do
they perceive you? Do they see you as having a generous heart?
Make a small list
of whom you are absolutely sure that they possess a generous,
giving heart and soul. When I performed this assignment, I immediately
thought of three people. I could feel, smell and taste that inside of
them there was an enormous generous giving nature.
However, these
people were not exactly fault free. Then again, no human being is ever
perfect. But, this generous giving heart seemed to be a characteristic
that represented their approach to the world. Even though just being
human disqualified them from being perfect.
When I began this
examination, I noticed that other people who were not
included on my list were hampered and limited by the excessive
need to have their egos fed. So, what was the Catch-22? These
individuals have/had a desire to give and share as long as there was a
sufficient amount of ego breast-feeding from others. Yes, they wanted
to give. But, they're giving was based on a hook -- a condition
that they would have their ego fed by others.
Here's the problem:
The individuals that had a conditional giving nature, would become
quite disturbed if others didn't jump and conform to their adult breast
feeding schedule and demand.
So, where does the
problem lie? Was there some kind of deficit in early childhood
breast-feeding experiences with the mother? Or was there early
childhood deprivations based on not receiving enough love and
confirmation from daddy figures? Probably both and more!
Injuries of one
sort of another from childhood certainly play a part in the development
of what type of generous heart a person develops. Deprivations lead to
deficits in the power of giving and sharing. Loving people are an
absolute prerequisite for a loving world.
So, why do I raise
this issue? The answer lies in the deep feeling and the spiritual
recovery of the pains that are deeply buried. The resolution of these
pains and early deprivations leads to the possibility of a
complete opening to the generous heart; a heart that is not
overburdened by unsatisfied ego needs.
Is there a
spiritual solution also? Without a doubt! With sufficient spiritual
training and transformation, a mind can be completely renewed and a
rebirth takes place. Dysfunctional types of conditional love and
generosity can be transcended by the renewal of mind aimed towards
absolute unconditional love. It can be personified by the Jewish
Christian phenomena encapsulated in the Adonai/
Christ/Savior/Messiah spirit. This spirit emanated from the divine
source can be fully received by the individual, who then brings that
primordial light to the world in the form of unconditional, deep and
transcendent love.
So what were the result of my own self examination? I
certainly have been flawed by what can be called the "Chez Vous," phenomena -- the sense that things
should, must, ought to be done my way instead
of Yahweh. Over the years, I have been humbled by my inabilities and my
dependence on the abilities and generosities of loving "others.
They have filled the gaps in me and allowed me to bathe in their love
and generosity. I, also, am aware of what they have received from me
and they don't even have to mention it. I know I have given my all and
if God is my witness, He will allow me to have the opportunity and
privilege to give a lot more. And believe me,
I have a lot more to give.
What about you?
