60 - Gifts & Presents
 The consciousness has to start at some point to try this whole metaphor deal out
for itself; and to begin with it is usually best to conduct such experiments in
a playful format, as that is how we learn the most.
Here is a truly enchanting game which even the smallest child can play and
through which adults can learn a great deal more about the structure and nature
of energy forms and the conscious creation and use of energy forms.
Think of a person who is dear to you.
Consider if they were to stand before you and you could give them a present, any
present that you can conceive of, and even perhaps some things you can conceive
of but have never consciously known or thought about.
Now wait a while, have the consciousness sit back and let’s find out if a gift
“will come to you”.
This is of course not a question of thinking about it, because that would
produce a typical conscious present and not something magical and enchanting;
something that is in essence a real energy form, handmade by you most
specifically for that person and given with love.
When something “comes to you” make sure that you don’t consciously and
reflexively reject it – “Oh that’s stupid,” or, “Oh but that would never do ...”
The consciousness may be present but it must pay attention, is not allowed to
interfere, and it may learn about metaphors, and energy exchanges.
As an example, let us presume I thought of a good friend and the gift that came
to my mind was a spinning top, red with white spirals.
Now that I have it, I simply send it to my friend, with all my love.
It’s that simple.
At one time I gave a big bunch of carnations to an elderly man who stood in the
rain at a bus stop, with many carrier bags and felt so sad even from across the
street that I nearly burst out into tears.
At another time I send someone what I thought was a beach ball but it turned out
that is was a whole world instead.
Sometimes I give ocean waves, tropical islands, ancient forests, and entire
landscapes.
Every gift is a surprise to me, often so beautiful and there is such a
delightful feeling connected with the activity that you want to do it more, and
more often.
It changes the receiving one but it also and most profoundly changes the giver.
And not a single word needs to be spoken.
One can just sit somewhere on a park bench and give every person who comes by a
magical gift, something special that only you in all the planes and all the
times spent could possibly have given.
This is real healing, without making a song and a dance about it, without reward
beyond the act of service itself and the knowledge that we do this BECAUSE WE
CAN.
And as it is pure energy healing, we can give gifts to animals, to plants which
are suffering, to landscapes that have been brutalised by hands of men, to sick
poisoned rivers and oceans too.
There is so much we can do, each and every one of us, in this enchanted world of
energy to make a difference, to make the world a better place, and we don’t need
hands for this, not a strong back, not 20/20 vision nor even a heap of money.
A moment of attention, of love, and the will to give SOMETHING from the heart,
is enough.
