Why would you hold back in sharing what you know or have? Perhaps you learned to not “show your cards.” Is life a game? In a game there are winners and losers, and the human is programmed to survive, which you often translate into winning. And how do you “win” once your safety and security are assured? Is it by having the most possessions, beauty, and so on and on and on and on? Perhaps. And when things are no longer satisfying, what then? Try sharing. Try showing your cards. Try openness and compare it with the “not enough” feeling that pervades most players. Openness wins, hands down.
You are so very loved.
Well… I can think of another reason NOT to share. Sharing to people who are not ready to receive this or that is wasting. And it can also harm them.
As much as i know of which you speak, the so-called bottom line on that remains with your way of being at that moment, because in that moment your being feels as if you AND them require your judgement over and above your and their need to be Loving and Loved.
Don’t get me wrong… i/we all fall into that same trap and it is a major cause of unwarranted division, no matter how warranted the feeling might be. It is still just a feeling. You don’t have to dig to discover why or from where such feelings arise. You know the feeling is there. So what? We deny ourselves and them our Love? Let us instead learn to flow out of that feeling into our higher Loving selves. Leave the feeling where you found it and move on. At first you might feel like you are being used. And – maybe you are. And maybe that person needs to use you – but it is you who decides what you will offer that person’s need to alleviate the need. In that switch – your Loving self will know exactly what needs doing and what does not. Love might also teach you that you are not the right person to help in a situation, once you’ve tried to help. And that is good to know too. No frustration nor anger is required. Love just knows how to know that. It is beautiful for all concerned and everyone understands that all retain their freedom.
