Contrary to what is generally believed, in order to receive …

Contrary to what is generally believed, in order to receive we must first give. It is true you cannot give if you do not already possess something, and if you have received nothing you cannot possess anything. But it is a question of knowing from where and from whom to receive. Yet, instead of drawing their needs from the invisible world, most humans turn to other human beings, and that’s how they gradually take everything the others have: not only their money and possessions but also their energy, ideas and feelings… You could even say that lovers are the greatest thieves alive! And as there are nothing but love stories everywhere, in poetry and novels, and at the theatre and cinema, that means there are only stories about thieves: yes, it’s true, it’s all about who will succeed in stealing the heart, attention and time of another. If you observe and reflect on this, you will notice that, on the psychic plane as on the physical plane, people do nothing but steal.
