We have spoken about how all vibrations either attract or repel each other based upon their nature.  If you’ve been doing the exercises, you have also had practice at sending people Divine Light from your heart center to their heart center.  You have even begun to communicate with them from a Divine Soul level, on a Divine Soul level, if you have been practicing the Principles.

So, now, let’s add another layer onto the picture.  This is taking the earlier principles into more subtle levels.

Here’s the deal: the giving and receiving of the vibration of Divine Light is a two way street and it runs both ways at the same time. 

No, I’m not talking about keeping score which is the most popular world belief system on the subject.  “I’ll give to them    (fill in the blank)   and then they will ‘owe’ me” is an underlying motivation in a lot of seemingly kind acts.  We have already discovered how that is a form of the ‘gobbler’ attack-and-consume vibration.  Another facet of the same limiting belief system is, “If I accept this, then I will be in debt to them.  So, I better not accept it.”

Rather, I am talking about something much more unconditional, based upon the current conditions of the vibration in play (or any combination thereof) at any given moment.  Of course it’s unconditional; all the Principles are what they are because the Divine Light is unconditional in Its infinite Love and creative attributes. 

Remember how we talked about the expansion vibration, which opens up in its creative process?  It’s an outpouring vibration.  Then, there is the ‘gobbler’ attack-and-consume vibration, which is contractive by nature.  It ‘clogs’ up the expansive flow of the Divine Light Vibration like rocks in a tube of water.  The water will get through eventually, but not in the same time frame as if the water were flowing freely.  If you have been practicing the Principles, you will already be very aware of these dynamics and how it actually ‘feels’ in action.  All of this was first presented in the lessons All of Creation is in a Constant State of Change as well as Any Emotion Can Be Transformed into Illumination. I’ve linked you there if you want to take another look at them, but you’ll have to make your own way back here.  They’re in the same section as this.

Now, remember how we talked about the act of giving and how it can be either an expansion vibration or a ‘gobbler’ attack-and-consume vibration depending upon the motivation behind the giving?  The same thing goes for the act of ‘receiving’.  If something is received with a sense of gratefulness and/or pure appreciation, that sets in motion an expansion vibration.  That same receiving, when done with the idea of having ‘gotten something for nothing’... or ‘getting by with something’... or ‘getting one over on another’... or ‘I deserve this’ without actually appreciating the act of being given to... or giving lip service to the receiving without really feeling the appreciation... well, you’ve got the idea... all of these are different degrees of the ‘gobbler’ in action.  That’s a take, not a receiving.

I’m going to ask you to contemplate that paragraph for a moment because, for some, this can be very subtle stuff.  For others, it’s obvious.  For still others, they might not get it at all.  If you fall into the last group, I would suggest you make a u-turn in your journey, go back to the lesson All Things Come From the Divine Light Source.  Shoot, it wouldn’t hurt all of us to take a quick u-turn back to that concept because it is one of the keys to all of our awakenings, all along the way.

What this Principle is telling you is the energy of Divine Light runs in both directions simultaneously between you and the others whether it’s with an individual person, a family, a group, a society, the world at large.... and vice versus.   How freely that energy runs between you and the others depends upon the nature of the vibrations, and to what degree they make up the basic qualities of the exchange.

Now, this actually happens on all levels, in all directions at once.  Like we have said, infinity is a pretty doggone big concept so let’s bring this down to the individual level and see how it plays out.

Someone pays you a compliment.  Let’s assume it’s in an expansion vibration and they’ve been taught, “If you think something nice, say it out loud, no strings attached just for the pleasure of thanking the person for being that way or wearing that color or whatever.”  What do you do?  If you truly say, “Thank you,” and they actually receive that compliment, the expansion vibration flows between you in a great feeling that radiates outwards and touches all of those around you.  If you reject it in any way, you block the flow between the two of you.  This rejection might be expressed in a myriad of ways from “What?  This old thing,”... or “Oh, I do it all the time, it’s nothing special,”... to the inner dialogue that says, “They don’t know me very well.  If they did, they wouldn’t say that.”  In effect, you’re throwing away the compliment as if it had no value. You probably wouldn’t slap that person in the face, yet, in effect, this is what you are doing when you block the flow. 

Let’s assume you believe the compliment is a gratuitous ‘gobbler’.  Whether it really is gratuitous or just imagined that way because you’re projecting onto it out of a limiting belief system doesn’t matter.  That’s what you believe in that moment so the conditioned response may very well be to block it.  Rather than block it, which plays directly into the ‘gobble’, why not accept it graciously and send some Divine Light back in their direction?  It will help to open the flow since the giving and the receiving is a two way street.

When two people approach a difference of opinion with the open minds of wanting to find an agreement that is agreeable to both parties - that’s why it’s called an agreement - they are operating in an expansion vibration mode.  If those same two parties enter into the ‘negotiations’ with the idea of getting the better deal than the other party, well, it’s obvious, isn’t it?  They’re operating from a ‘gobbler’ attack-and-consume mentality.

Two lovers give each other gifts.  If it is given because it brings the giver pleasure to express their love in that way and it is received in that light, both will enjoy a ride in the expansion vibration.  If the gift is given because it’s a holiday where gifts are expected and that is the sole motivation in giving... and/or it is received because it is expected as their right to be given it... they’re not going to get quite the same journey, will they? 

As you have learned, you can feel the difference between the two kinds of vibrations so it’s not difficult to distinguish what is going on when you take the time to ‘listen’ within.  The more you’re in the habit of having a Divine Soul Conversation, the easier it is to identify what is happening in the moment because it feels very similar to the ‘yes’ of your Divine Soul.  (I just linked that for you, by the way, if you need to practice that some more.  If you go there right now, don’t forget to come back.  You’re in the Opening Your Mind section of the website).

Should you find yourself in a ‘gobbler’ mode, the good news is you can change it in a flash of an instant.  Stop.  Take a breath.  Ask your Divine Soul to guide you by asking, “What do I do?”  Make a new choice.  Move forward from there.  It’s perfectly okay to say, “You know what?  That’s not what I wanted to say.  What I want to say is..........”  If you change directions and start coming from an expansive space, they’ll instinctively feel that.  Now, how the other person reacts to that is directly related to their level of illumination.  As you well know, you can’t control the other person and their reaction, but you can make choices about the nature of your presence in any given situation.

I’d like to add on one more layer to this before we go to the exercise.  Inherent in the giving IS the receiving... and inherent in the receiving IS the giving... when done in the expansion vibration.  When you give freely, then you receive freely from the giving in itself.  When you receive freely, you have given back to the one doing the giving.

EXERCISE:

1. 1.Ask your Divine Soul to show you how you can apply this Principle in your life.  Write down the response.
   

2. 2.Pay attention this week (and until the expansion vibration of Divine Love is a constant habit in your life) to each time you give and each time you receive.  Try to discern, while you are doing it at the time, what percentage of each act is being done in an expansion vibration and how much of the ‘gobbler’ is in play.  Make the conscious choice to move in the expansion vibration.
   

3. 3.Find a partner to work with for this exercise.  Sit down or stand facing each other.  Look each other in the eyes.  Try to stay focused with your right eye maintaining eye contact with their right eye.  Do the Basic Activation of the Divine Light Vibration together.  Once you have completed that, fill your hearts with the conscious awareness of Divine Light and send it to the other person.
   

4. •To practice the receiving, let person A send it to B, while B concentrates on receiving.  If it is received, you both will feel a sense of expansion or openness.    The more practiced you are at hearing the ‘yes’ of your Divine Soul, the easier it is to feel the Divine Light vibration being sent to you because both are expansive in nature.  If you don’t feel anything right at first, no worries, just keep practicing.  What’s important is your focus with the intention of sending that Divine Light and the intention of receiving It.  Your Divine Souls will guide you.  Just stay open to that guidance.
   

5. •Now change directions and let person B send it to person A, while A focuses on receiving.
   

6. •Once you both feel like you have practiced the giving and the receiving enough (and you can have tried it as often as you like, not just once!), practice feeling the Divine Light flow in both ways at once.  It is enough to have the intention of sending the Divine Light from your heart center to theirs, the intention of receiving as well as the intention of discerning the two way flow.  Practice creates awareness.
   

7. •Remember - and THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT:  HAVE FUN!  Be like little children - interested, curious and detached to the outcome.  Just experiment and discover.
   

Just as an FYI, this is the basic beginning of some of the Light Work that I do with clients where, more often than not, sooner or later, they begin to see their surroundings in its Light form and not just the worldly view they are accustomed to seeing.  I’m telling you this so if it happens to you, it is normal when you are activating and sending the more refined vibrations of Divine Light.  If it doesn’t happen, no worries.  Just be where you are and continue to practice.  Your Divine Souls will guide you.  A lot depends upon your willingness to let go and perceive, your patience levels and, most importantly, the evolution of your Being to handle the evermore refined vibrations.  This is an evolutionary, not revolutionary process.
