With Jesus' love happily by our side, we embrace the shift from giving to get what is not there to giving to receive what we already have. Early in the text, Jesus teaches that having and being are the same, since the love we have is the love that we are. This is the reality of the non-dualistic world of being, in contrast to the dualistic world of existence in which what we have, another lacks. In this profound misperception, God's Sons are seen as different, and the separate identity that we are is also the separation that we have. However, when the vision of sameness replaces the judgment of different needs and goals, we happily grow into the true perception that giving and receiving are the same. We simply receive the forgiveness we have given, and have given the forgiveness that has already been given to us in the right mind we share with all God's Sons. In this way we learn to awaken from the dream to the joyous truth that having, being, giving, and receiving are one. Can there be any greater joy in the world of illusion? And if we do not feel joyful, can we in good conscience truly maintain that it is another's fault?This fourfold equation of having, being, giving, and receiving is the meaning of generosity, one of the ten characteristics of God's advanced teachers:To the world, generosity means "giving away" in the sense of "giving up." To the teachers of God, it means giving away in order to keep.… The teacher of God is generous out of Self interest. This does not refer, however, to the self of which the world speaks (M-4.VII.1:4-5; 2:1-2).…We learn that we have "more," reflecting the abundance of God's Son, by giving to those who believe they have "less." By so doing, our giving enables us to receive what we already have, but had not recognized. Realizing that having, being, giving, and receiving are the same, we allow this unity to extend through us to embrace the Sonship as one. Giving this all-inclusive blessing is our one function, which we now happily accept as the "price" for receiving the blessing that will take us home. "AND WHEN YOU ARE DESIROUS TO BE BLESSED, I'LL BLESSING BEG OF YOU."

The Most Effective Payer
Having
faith in who you are and what you love to do gives you the courage to follow
your heart. Inside of what you are attempting to conceal you will
find the purity and love that you desire to share. http://www.receiveyourlife.com
“Thy Will Be Done.”
Leaving it to God to know what an individual’s highest good
is.
Drop out of mind your
belief in the future for good things and events to come to you. Affirm that
they are already in your grasp. You will learn the principle of “nowness” by
repeating these words of Jesus Christ: “Believe that ye receive.” ECH
