Can I just
ask you to think about the ones who you love in your love...Try to remember
what you have shared together... Also, what else you would like to share…? And
tell me please, what you could share with a totally stranger? So, I am coming
to the point; what do you think about sharing? What does it really mean for you
to become a being of love and sharing?
Sharing means opening yourself to be in
communication and accepting to be in relationship by having possessions in
common. It implies the spirit of generous sharing or the act of giving as
contrasted with selfish getting. Here, generosity is not an abstract ideal, but
a demonstrable action resulting in a tangible and realistic expression of
giving. Also, in most contexts, sharing not just material, but also emotional,
mental and spiritual.
In classical
Greek, koinonein means "to have a share in a thing," as when
two or more people hold something, or even all things, in common. It can mean,
"going shares" with others, thereby having "business dealings,”
such as joint ownership of a ship. It can also imply "sharing an
opinion" with someone, and therefore agreeing with him, or disagreeing in
a congenial way. Only participation as a contributive member allows one to
share in what others have. What is shared, received or given becomes the common
ground through which Sharing becomes real.
Many people
think a simple action of giving is enough, but this is not the case. To share
is a mutual relationship and communication. Spiritually, it means we have given
up something. This is how most mystics’ phrase, “Share until it hurts” ... It
hurts because you encounter with your selfishness and Superego. Eventually, if
you achieve to give and share the things, emotions and thoughts, you are on the
way to vibrate with one of the great wisdom that involves generosity.
For me,
Sharing involves Caring... It is such a deep care that we don’t feel we are
owed anything in return. It is a great step for the unconditional love, wisdom
and strength... They are very much connected with our ultimate aims of living
that are happiness and maturity. In other words, to really share -symbolically like
the Sun or Light,- it needs to be unconditional, without any agenda of our own.
The intense desire to share is what really connects us to the Light.
So lets
start with a simple step this week. Try sharing until it hurts.
This sharing
could be in many levels: material, emotional, mental and energetic... Sharing
is not an easy task; you need to face with your Ego… At least lets try and
observe us objectively…I think that would be a great reflection in our Journey
of Self-Discovery…
Good Luck =)
All the best,
