“We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.”
Driving on a road in Red Hook, NY I saw a sign on a church billboard that said Giving is True Having. The four words in black distinctly stood out on the white changeable letter sign. The quote is from Charles Spurgeon, an English pastor and author from the 19th century.
The line caught my eye at 65mph and I’ve pondered the message for many miles since...
On the surface, the quote is a simple nod to generosity and charity - It’s better to give than to receive. Those who give selflessly, signal their abundance to the universe. They give without question knowing that there are others in need and that there is an endless supply.
Looking underneath the surface however, the statement is a reminder of energy exchange; the essence of the Law of Attraction. It is not what is given, it is actually the attitude one offers that is most important. The act of giving itself is more charged with emotion. We can only pull things into our experience that are vibrating at the same frequency as the thoughts and emotions we are sending out.
To attain something specific, you must be in the feeling place as if it is already granted, to embody and feel worthy of the request. First, give the emotion of what you wish to manifest, then have your request fulfilled.
This sentiment is encapsulated scientifically in Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Everything is a mirror.
Yes, what you give, you get; but more specifically, how you give, is how you get. It’s about intention, your energy comes back at the same frequency it is given.
At a cellular and sub-atomic level, we interact vibrationally with everything in our perceived reality. Perpetually putting out and taking in with every aspect of our physical and non-physical existence. Meditate for clarity. Be grateful to receive. Talk to communicate. Read to learn. Push to propel. The natural cycle of an infinite vibrational frequency swap.
Science and spirituality coexist. In the realm of physics, the energy put forth is an impetus for the echo energy that inevitably returns; like attracts like, every action has a reaction. In the spiritual sense, giving from the heart in charity spurs the universe’s resonant response. An abundant mindset begets abundance. It’s the law of energy in motion.
Giving is true having. Distilling this concept down to its bare essence proves that the universe is constantly seeking balance. Living as physical beings in this 3D reality, the exchange of like energy rules our existence. We are all transmitters and receivers who radiate a specific vibrational frequency, and that which is a match, we attract.
What goes around, comes around. And it is in the giving that we receive.
That is my interpretation anyway….
