INCLUSIVITY OR EXCLUSIVITY. THE CHOICE IS OURS. AND IN OUR CHOICES WE REVEAL THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH ABOUT OURSELVES, AND IN OUR CHOICES WE BECOME SPIRITUALLY ONE WITH ALL CREATION, OR SPIRITUALLY CUT OURSELVES OFF. WE GIVE IN GENEROSITY AND INCLUSIVITY: AND OUR SOULS OPEN TO THE STARS. WE TAKE IN SELFISHNESS AND EXCLUSIVITY: AND OUR SOULS CLOSE DOWN.

It is no mere chance that all faiths, all religious and spiritual traditions, emphasise the need to give and to share. It may not have been consciously done, but what all our world’s faiths and religions were ‘referencing’ was the spiritual truth that ALL is ONE, and that the true purpose of all our spiritual and mystical quests, of all our holy pilgrimages is ONENESS.

INCLUSIVITY OR EXCLUSIVITY. THE CHOICE IS OURS.

A key question is this. Why should we give, whether of ourselves or of things we might possess, when it is apparently more to our advantage to take? After all, we would appear to gain so much by taking, and in a real sense actually lose so much by ‘indulging’ in giving. Certainly there can be advantage in giving when we are linked with others in some sort of mutual arrangement. But what of altruistic giving. Must it always be to some extent sacrificial? There is an answer to this, and it is a profound one.
