...sharing....

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,
