Will You Be Taken Advantage of If...

[Vesko]

Notice the bolded text:

Is there really the desire to know love, or to know the experience of someone having an emotion over self? Is it a desire to be itself expended in doing that which may be helpful or constructive? This can be done, but it will require the losing of self, as has been indicated, in service for others.
. . . But arise to that consciousness that if ye would have life, if ye would have friends, if ye would have love, these things ye must expend. For only that ye give away do ye possess.

Edgar Cayce Reading 1786-2

I'll post it separately as a quotation, too.

[Zark]

[...] Is it a desire to be itself expended in doing that which may be helpful or constructive? This can be done, but it will require the losing of self, as has been indicated, in service for others.. . . But arise to that consciousness that if ye would have life [..] For only that ye give away do ye possess.

Hi Vesko, I really liked that quote. although I wish the english he was using was a bit simpler! It is really a lesson in karma.

If you give your life in the service of others then you will have life. 'give your life' doesn't necessarily mean physical death, just self sacrifice in general .. time, money, actions, thoughts, whatever.
