²⁴Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

                                               POVERTY OR WEALTH

                       is not determined by where one was born NOR social status

what is a rich man ?   one with a lot of money ?  that is one obvious aspect of a "rich man" and as in most scriptures and sacred teachings  multiple meanings and depths are possible   the truth is the poorest man money wise in town can be classified as a "rich man" in the spirit realm  for he is wealthy in lies arrogance pride or denial or any manner of thing that causes a separation between him and his Creator source  or in other words his ego   of course one with great material possession has an even greater challenge  it is almost but not quite an impossibility to attain this level of "emptiness"

  i have seen many instances when pride has put a gun in some ones mouth and pulled the trigger  someone too "rich" in pride  or ego to ask for help or a hand when in need  for who after all wants to admit weakness or the need for assistance from ones who know a bit more than us?  hardly anyone  as a matter of fact some of us would rather die other than admit "defeat"  from the challenges and trials of life  this is the "receiving" channel that is not open in the heart because it is blocked by denial that we are in the weakened position of having to receive 

creatures trust  their needs will be met  as a matter of fact they take no thought of it  i met these doves needs today  your supplies may come through unusual sources  but they will come 

fallacy

having just survived the ridiculousness of the metamorphosis of Christmas and i won't expound on this i am always aware of the "energy" behind the giving and receiving aspects or dynamics   having had a lot of lessons in this lifetime on both sides of the "coin"   there is hardly a better feeling than to gift someone a heartfelt gift  it is a good feeling to drop some money in the "kettle" and go on about our lives  retreat back to our dens of security  or give a"homeless" a bit  or make our check to a charity   this can make us "feel good" about ourselves  and it is this i desire to bring more attention to while i'm at it    keeping in line with my subject 

EQUAL ENERGY EXCHANGE

for every giver there has to be a receiver  we all like to get gifts or receive and we do this sometimes boldly sometimes shyly  but  most prefer to the power of the giver   for there is a power in giving   if not paid attention to can land us in bondage to the very giver  or we ourselves can wield the "upper hand"in a relationship  because  we "hold the purse strings"   or we get into the "well i did this for you" syndrome and one person is left feeling less than and  in unspoken debt    this is a very subtle "little fox"   on another level is like a credit card company they will give and give credit and you feel like a big dog spending on all manner of things  but in the long run   they have power and they do not mind doing a little "squeezing " of the *****    and all manner of worry and changes come about because of this situation an invisible "hook or chord" is attached within you   this is not only applicable in the "material"  but with emotion also our journey here is to become completely un  indebted  or solely dependent to any source other than the divine source

 powers such as these is why Jesus  left word to avoid going into" debt" and actually being  aggressive and take the role the "free" giver  for  strong energy and power plays are possible and probable  in these days far more  than back then   yet to get to the point you understand this on a soul level  one must be in a position to be "forced" to receive  for believe it or not pride especially when chips are down  can literally starve some to death  especially if you have most time been in the "giver" position  in balance  Jesus also instructed his deciple to go without "packing"   so to speak  but stay open to receiving all they required

 this is a power point of growth for when you open up at a very deep level to give and receive in gratitude  all manner of  intersecting situation can and usually do take place   and on the highest attainable level   sustained and instant manifestation    which is one of the highest goals we can aspire to as humans this involves the greatest level of trust one can muster  this was played out to some extent in the desert when Moses was leading the children across  they're food was provided on a daily basis  MANNA  or "angel food"   now you can take that on many levels  but by the faith of a few it was always there  until all came to trust and take their "DAILY RATION"  and more  graphically when Jesus needed tax money   go to the fish and look in its mouth he said  and BINGO!  the exact amount  ! it is an issue of faith and trust becoming solid "matter"

i have come to find in my experience  there are 12 stones in the "walls of heaven"   each lesson  learned re presents itself  at yet another level once we have absorbed the essence of the lesson and experience each getting a bit more 'difficult" to master  for it slices to the quick of our  soul our last shreds of the illusionary life presented to us and our former understandings as well as what the "world" deems to be valid and your personal definition of "wealth"

one of the stories the Spirit led me to was in the Old Testament  (i am sorry more do not use the handbook )   i was asked to put myself in all three positions in this story and after i did so   i had a new outlook and an understanding that had eluded me for a long time  Father God knows he has to have TRUST at the highest level to those he entrust his "power" to as Elijah   here he starts off on a journey  first off this is his message in "receiving"  now Elijah was already a well known prophet in some regions  and took "pride" in his position 

1 Kings 17

Elijah Fed by Ravens

 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: ³ "Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. ⁴ You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there."

 ⁵ So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. ⁶ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

well  once he gets through this   he is instructed to go to a certain village   and to go to a widow there  and ask "food" of her  well   this was even a bigger challenge for his EGO  and his ability to "carry out"   instruction from on high for she was making her last cake  because of famine   and was preparing it for her son and herself   they were going to eat it and  go off into the desert and die for hopelessness had over taken them

The Widow at Zarephath

 ⁷ Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. ⁸ Then the word of the LORD came to him: ⁹ "Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." ¹⁰ So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?" ¹¹ As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread."

 ¹² "As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die."

 ¹³ Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. ¹⁴ For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.' "

 ¹⁵ She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. ¹⁶ For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.

 ¹⁷ Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. ¹⁸ She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?"

 ¹⁹ "Give me your son," Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. ²⁰ Then he cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, have you brought tragedy also upon this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?" ²¹ Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried to the LORD, "O LORD my God, let this boy's life return to him!"

 ²² The LORD heard Elijah's cry, and the boy's life returned to him, and he lived. ²³ Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, "Look, your son is alive!"

 ²⁴ Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth."

by these acts of obedience in receiving that went against every ounce of his remaining ego  the son was healed because Elijah was "opened " to new levels of understanding and compassion and his "gifts" were increased to now giving life force back  this gift is not handed to just any  one has to be trusted at the highest level   the son lived   the widow was a testament and they were all "FILLED" beyond any earthly expectation   all because of  Elijahs being obedient in receiving and risking his "face"  or remaining EGO

i realize my writings are not for everyone but maybe you will read something that will stick with you in the days to come  which are promised to be filled with great change on all level and in all aspects of life as it has been lived on planet earth  there are some here now who know of these ancient methods and have them written in their souls codes  that is what

WAKING UP  is all about becoming helpers and "workers" who can be trusted ones will be needed in the coming years   one of  my sore points are"teachers" and preachers of the word who have not "walked" this path out   instead they are fatted cats   preaching from assumption and judgements   with little or NO practical experience   no wonder people stay like scared rabbits in the thicket of life on Earth face

have a great day

and  may
