DEAR FRIENDS,

          PLEASED WE ARE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN.   OUR 

MESSAGES  FOR SOME TIME HAVE FOCUSED ON COMMUNICATION WITH SPIRIT 

AND COOPERATION.  THESE ARE GIVEN ELEMENTS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER.   WHAT

DO WE MEAN BY COMMUNICATION WITH SPIRIT?   MAKING YOURSELF AVAILABLE 

TO BE AWARE OF THAT WHICH IS WITHIN YOUR OWN BEING.    ALLOWING 

YOURSELF TO EXPERIENCE AND THEREBY GROW BECAUSE YOU ARE INTERESTED 

IN BEING OF SERVICE TO THE FATHER AND YOUR OWN BEING.   THESE TWO 

ELEMENTS ARE SIGNIFICANT.   IN ORDER TO RECEIVE IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW 

HOW TO GIVE.   TOO MANY BEINGS RIGHT NOW WISH ONLY TO BE ON THE 

RECEIVING PORTION.   IT IS TIME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NATURE OF THE 

UNIVERSE  IS NOT BASED PURELY ON RECEIVING.   INDEED,  IT IS MOST IMPORTANT

TO KNOW HOW TO GIVE OF ONESELF.
 

          SO,  IT IS NECESSARY TO BE TAUGHT WHAT IS GIVING AS REGARDS THE 

UNIVERSAL INTERPRETATION OF SPIRIT.   WHEN WE SPEAK OF GIVING WE MEAN 

“TO GIVE WITHOUT THOUGHT OF RECOMPENSE”.   THAT IS TO GIVE FREELY,  NOT 

THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU IN  RETURN WILL RECEIVE,  BUT TO GIVE BECAUSE 

YOU TRULY WISH TO DO SO.   “WITHOUT THOUGHT OF RECOMPENSE” MEANS NO 

ULTERIOR MOTIVES,  NO CONNIVING,  NO MANIPULATION,  NO THOUGHT OF HOW 

THIS MAY IN TURN BENEFIT YOU,  BUT TO GIVE FREELY FROM WITHIN BECAUSE 

YOU KNOW IT IS THE WAY OF PURE THOUGHT AND THEREFORE IN ACCORDANCE 

WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE.
 

          FAR TOO MUCH TIME IS CURRENTLY SPENT ON MANIPULATION….I GIVE, YOU 

GIVE.  I BELIEVE YOU USE THE TERM “BACK SCRATCHING” IN YOUR SOCIETY. 

WHEREAS IN THE SPIRIT WORLD THE CONCEPT IS TO GIVE FROM THE HEART,  AND 

THEREFORE,  WITHOUT  THOUGHT OF ANY KIND OF RETURN.   CAN YOU DO THIS? 

IF NOT IT IS TIME TO PUT THE CONCEPT INTO PRACTICE.   TRY GIVING WITHOUT ANY

THOUGHT OF PURPOSE….PURELY BECAUSE YOU FEEL IT IS THE WAY.   THE NEED 

EXISTS AND YOU ARE EAGER TO TAKE CARE OF THAT NEED.   GIVE IT A TRY – 

YOU  MAY BE SURPRISED HOW GRAND THE FEELING CAN BE.  YES, G R A N D, 

BECAUSE YOU SEE THAT IS YOUR SOUL’S CONCEPT OF TRUE LOVE AND

SERVICE….TO GIVE FREELY.
 

          NOW THEN,  LET US TALK ABOUT COOPERATION – THAT IS BEING WILLING 

TO  NOT ONLY GIVE FREELY FROM WITHIN,  BUT ALSO TO COOPERATE WELL WITH

PURE THOUGHT.  THAT IS TO GIVE AS THE NEEDS ARISE NOT ONLY FOR SELF,  BUT

FROM THE STANDPOINT OF GLOBAL NEED.   TO COMMUNICATE FROM WITHIN 

ONE’S BEING GIVES THE GREATEST SENSE OF SATISFACTION.   LOOK NOT 

WITHOUT FOR YOUR SATISFACTION FOR YOU MAY WELL BE DISAPPOINTED.   IF 

YOU GIVE WITH THOUGHT OF RETURN, INDEED YOU MAY WELL FIND THAT OTHERS 

DO NOT RECIPROCATE,  THEREBY REQUIRING AN ADJUSTMENT OF ATTITUDE.   ALL

OF THIS TAKES TIME AWAY FROM YOUR TRUE COOPERATION WITH SPIRIT..

THIS BACK AND FORTH PERCEPTION OF WHAT IS OF PURPOSE.   JUST KNOW THAT 

WHEN YOU GIVE FREELY OF SELF WITHOUT THOUGHT OF RECOMPENSE,  AND THE

SPIRIT WITHIN IS RECEIVING COMMUNICATION VIA PURE THOUGHT,  THEN YOU WILL

BECOME AT ONE WITH THE UNIVERSAL MIND.
 

          GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS AND KNOW THAT THOSE IN SPIRIT ARE READY 

AND ABLE TO SERVE WELL.   GOD SPEED.

NEXT GLOBAL MEDITATION:   WEDNESDAY, MAY 10th,  8 P.M. YOUR TIME
