The Freedom to Give & Receive
"By
exploring the truth about money and what it stands for in our lives we have the
opportunity to gain freedom from its having power over us. Instead we may
expand our understanding of prosperity to take us beyond money alone and truly
reflect the abundant nature of Life itself and our right to live abundant lives."
"You cannot serve both God and ·worldly riches"
"Now the spirit is Life, and throughout the universe Life ultimately consists in circulation, whether within the physical body of the individual or on the scale of the entire solar system; and circulation means a continual flowing around, and the spirit of opulence is no exception to this universal law of all life....
It is not money, but the love of money, that is the root of evil; and the spirit of opulence is precisely the attitude of mind which is furthest removed from the love of money for its own sake. It does not believe in money. What it does believe in is the generous feeling which is the intuitive recognition of the great law of circulation, which does not in any undertaking make its first question, How much am I going to get by it? but, How much am I going to do by it? And making this the first question, the getting will flow in with a generous profusion, and with a spontaneous and rightness of direction that are absent when our first thought is of receiving only."
