Musings of a meandering monk
Had another wake-up call/spiritual 2x4 upside the head last night. About two weeks ago I set up a page on the SoulSpeak website offering readings and dreamwork at a fee. Over the days around New Year’s, I was seriously considering actually creating a business of reading and dream analysis, going so far as to create a name and a basic business plan. But it wasn’t coming together – something wasn’t right about it. Then it hit me; charging for readings goes against everything I stand for.
I know there is a lot of contention about this. Whenever the topic comes up on PalTalk, the discussion can get pretty lively, to say the least. But I’ve always believed that it is up to the individuals involved. There are too many reasons for charging and paying to go into here – let’s just say that Spirit is served either way.
My personal belief is that as long as I’m doing ‘spiritual’ work, Spirit will provide. Unlike many who believe in ‘tit for tat’ – if I provide you with a service you must balance the scales by paying for it - I believe our good comes from Source and any help you render anyone will be rewarded someway, somehow.
Some would call this a test of faith – nothing could be farther from the truth as there is no need for me to test the principle. It’s been proven to me time after time after time that when I am doing what I should be doing, and in the right spirit (generosity) then all will be taken care of and then some. I just had to be reminded one more time
.
As evidence that I had made the right decision, Spirit answered another need this morning. Someone asked me last week to bring back a rock when I returned to the States from Australia. Shortly after I changed the Psightings page I went outside to stretch my legs and think – and lo and behold, there was a black rock (uncommon here where I’m staying) in the middle of the lawn where there is no gravel. Thank you, Spirit!
