When we focus on creating abundance an important law to apply is the Law of Giving and Receiving. It ranks along side of the Law of Attraction. The concept is uncomplicated yet full of elegance.
When we give, the vibration of the giving goes out and returns to us. Another way of saying it is that the energy is moving in a circular way. However, the energy that returns is amplified because on its travels the vibration attracted more energy of the same vibration. This is the why behind the expression that something returns 10 fold or more.
The Law of Giving and Receiving has been written about by many. One of my favorites is by Catherine Ponder in her book, the Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. Catherine tells the story of a woman who has no money and has no way of feeding her children.
In a panic, this woman telephones a counselor and is given instructions to to first give something to someone in order to receive. The woman is at a loss for what to give thinking she has absolutely nothing. The counselor reminds her with the words that we always have something to give. Then, the woman recalls that she has flowers in her yard. She cuts them and gives them to a sick neighbor.
She is also given instructions to set her table with her best china, to make a grocery list and to expect the means to shop to show up. Unexpectedly, a friend shows up at her door with money that she borrowed from this woman, money she had written off ever being repaid.
A quality that this woman needed to carry out the counselor’s instructions was faith, faith that the money for her children to eat would show up. She also needed to use her creativity when she remembered the flowers in her yard.
Animportant part of using the Law of Giving and Receiving is not being attached to the means in which the receiving part will happen. Frequently the receiving comes from a direction that is totally unanticipated. In The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann, the authors give a list of 5 laws for us to apply. The last law is the Law of Receptivity. It is the law that encourages us to be open to receive. To be open is to be alert. You must have the quality of openness to the act of receiving and then have your guidance system ready to tune into the opportunity to receive.
Many proponents of the Law of Giving and Receiving say to give first and then you will receive. This guideline has been shared under the umbrella of selfless giving with the idea that giving is better than receiving.
Victor Boc has a different idea. He has no hidden agenda. He is not advising selfless giving. He encourages us to give because we know we will then receive. There is no guilt linked with the receiving part. Receiving is on an even plane with its counterpart giving. It’s a refreshing idea.
I highly recommend you play with the approach. Experiment with the Law of Giving and Receiving. Come to your own conclusions. In your adventure of creating abundance take full advantage of each law. Use them for your highest good and the highest good of others.
The law of cause and effect is another universal law that has an influence on creating abundance. Although it’s straightforward, it is not an easily accepted concept. Essentially we have to take responsibility for each of our actions with this law. We cannot be victims. It is imperative that we know that for every thought, word, feeling and action that we have there will be an effect.
The saying, ignorance is bliss, is really misleading. On the cause side bliss might sound like a good thing but on the effect side it might not feel so good. An example at this point will be useful.
You’re driving down the street and you make a turn. You hear the awful sound of a siren. You glance in your rearview mirror and there behind you is a police car. Undoubtedly, you’re the one. You stop and so does the officer. As the officer approaches your car you roll down your window. You don’t know what you did wrong, but butterflies are flapping their delicate wings in your gut.
The officer inquires if you know what you did and you feel like a kid again who’s being scrutinized by a parent only this time it’s going to cost some bucks unless you can talk your way out of this situation. In your most polite voice you assure the officer that you have no idea. You tell her that you thought you were driving within the law.
She goes on to tell you that when you made your turn you didn’t stay in the near lane and instead turned into the far lane. You say, “Really? I didn’t know that you had to do that.” Ignorance is bliss…wrong. There is a law and you just broke it. If you’re fortunate, the consequence will be a warning. If not, you have a costly ticket to pay.
This is actually a true story. My friend just had this happen to him. Luckily, he was given a warning, but you get my point.
Let’s apply this law to creating abundance. You know about the Law of Attraction, but did you also know of the Law of Repulsion? You can put out energy that draws something to you while at the same time sending out a vibration that pushes it away. Let’s say that you really want to manifest the love of your life and you do all of the practices you’ve studied to accomplish that consequence. However, at the same time you really do not think you deserve the person of your dreams. The end result energetically will be a push/pull activity. Depending on how strong the energy is one way or the other will determine the effect.
The way to learn and apply this information is to practice. Play with it. Assess your the outcomes. Have fun while you’re learning. After all, it’s your life. Design the best one you possibly can!
