"But the ninth insight explains that giving is really a universal principle of support, not just for churches, but for everyone. When we give, we receive in return because of the way energy interacts in the universe."

"When people come into our lives at just the right time to give us the answers we need, we should give them money."

Redfield, James. The Celestine Prophesy, pages 225-226. Warner Books, Inc. 1993.

What do you all think about the possiblity of people making a living doing what they love?

I think that is what Aleister Crowley meant by "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law".

Ronnie,

I appreciated your response to my postings since registering on Monday. I agree with your quotes from the Celestine Prophecy about "When we give, we receive in return because of the way energy interacts in the universe." I hope the movie will help awaken that awareness.

"When people come into our lives at just the right time to give us the answers we need, we should give them money."

I hope this comes to pass as well as a voluntary act of giving so more of us will be able to do the work we love by extending the love to co-create more of the same.

I also have another website at www.americanhealingarts.org When you click on the three images to the left. There is information there about my spiritually guided experiences and book I am working on about an expanding Peace Pulse? healing subtle energy and thought form project called the Inner Peace Treaty? and educational program called Peace Nouvella?.

giving is receiving. When we do give, it is the natural order to receive back, not always in the way we give. Think abundance, it works. I don't fully believe in tithing. We are supposed to tithe to where we get our spirituality, that is in so many different places.

I have been thinking about planting more trees in my yard ( owned by the condo assoc) it just dawned on me that I get my spiritual fix from nature, therefore no wonder that is why I am driven to plant trees. Better trees than to church. Birds having a new home. Leila

Supposedly with technology there will be increasing automation in all industries. That leaves us with even more cutthroat competition in the short run to try to remain in the drowning pool of clueless corporations, and their executives. (not to mention greedy politicians)

We must try to see the advantage in the free exchange of money when a service is performed to our satisfaction. That poster that talked about all the natural resources inherent in the country of Africa and yet millions are are dying from poverty and lack of health care. The few powerful in any country control the bulk of the wealth, and thus a horrible imbalance occurs.

For sure, Ronni. I see the world getting more complicated. I cringe when I fill the gas tank wondering who is getting rich on us. There will be a time, it can't get worse without so much damage to the planet, we will lose the planet. There are groups of people believing it will come to a huge creschendo, the good will pour in the so called evil will depart. Some of us will be here to help the change, some will not. Presently, much of our energy is flooding the planet. what do you think? Leila
