* * * TITHE * * *

All is God, so Money, too is part of God's material universe.

The following are my impressions of teachings by my spiritual teacher, Louix Dor Dempriey:

The full Law of Creation is:

As you sow, so shall you reap 10-fold;
and as you receive, so shall you return to God 1/10th.

Only in this manner is the cycle of God's Law completed and abundance reaped.

As God gives lovingly and unconditionally - sunshine, rain, crops, children, etc., no matter what man is (kind, rich or poor, honest or a cheat), so must man's return giving be equally loving and unconditional.

The reciprocation is called "tithe" and ideally it should be given to God via the highest perceived channel, the neck in the hourglass which represents your connection to God. The target recipient must be that which sources you most, be it church, spiritual teacher, or whoever you feel is the highest level of sourcing for you. It might even be a charity that you have given your whole heart and spare time to.

When the wisest, most loving, most humbled and most-in-tune receive tithe, they, in their wisdom, disperse that money energy with the most love and the most wisdom to assist the world.

By tithing to the highest, we acknowledge and trust the greater wisdom of who is sourcing us. We trust the recipient will use that money far more cleverly and wisely for the world good than a lesser person or we ever could.

Tithe received by lesser than our highest source can only be distributed with less love and less wisdom and is less beneficial to the world.

Tithe disbursed over many charities is scattered sowing and results in scattered returns. (Only one recipient of those many charities is the wisest of those charities.)

Tithe given with any resistance (anger, resentment, conditions, expectation, etc.) carries those qualities with it as money is inert, thus the universe then reflects that back to us in like manner, 10-fold! Bitter seeds sown, reap bitter fruit 10-fold! The proof is the current world economy creating ever greater poverty. Even though huge donations and tax collections are fed back to the needy, most donors have given with resistance because of greed, hoarding, lust, fear, hedonism and scarcity consciousness, and imperfect governments disperse money imperfectly. Hoarding is one evidence of the absence of tithing.

Only when everyone in the world gives tithe joyfully to the most wise individuals or corporations that most source each, in full trust, will the world's poverty be eliminated. Then, tithing will also eliminate much of the need for taxation. Herein lies the cure for poverty on this planet!

When should you give your tithe? As a donation in your will on your death bed? After you have paid that last bill, had that holiday, paid the school fees, or paid the mortgage, etc.? NO! The giving directly back to God must come first. Tithe is the highest priority of all your payments. It must be that first 10% right off the top before anything. After receiving your pay, tithing sooner is better as it is an immediate expression of your thanks to God. Joyful immediate payment of tithe is an important physical statement to yourself, of your gratefulness and trust in God. As the giving from the universe is continuous and automatic, so must your giving back be too.

Your tithe does not have to be limited at 10%. If you wish to give more, that is fine. The more you give, the better, and it is through giving that you receive. If you wish to spread your giving, that also is fine, but that first 10% must be given as tithe to who sources you most. The essence of selflessness - selfless giving from the heart - is what empowers love to create and to transform. The act of giving needs to be selfless and joyful.

In this Year Of Synergy (2007) seek and attract the company of those you wish to be like; TRUST IN GOD and dig deep into your pockets to help those less fortunate than yourself, but first pay your TITHE!
