Contribution Creates Happiness
ByIn the Kabbala, it is said the Creator can only bestow. He cannot receive. Before the Universe began there was nothing to receive so he created a Universe and life. Life is a vessel that can only receive. It is the purpose of living things.
When man has received and has great gratitude he finds that he also wants to give and bestow on others. Man has difficulty with 100% altruism. There is usually an agenda of recognition in some form.
Nonetheless the move toward 100% altruism is man’s way to approach unity with the Creator. The more we give, the better we feel.
I found that the years I spent working for my own aggrandizement and personal satisfactions had many rewards and many frustrations. I provided a great living for myself and my family. I enjoyed many of the pleasures of the materialistic life.
I also found that there is no end in the amount of material gratifications that are available and that we think we need once we get started on that as a path to happiness.
I found that eating healthy and fitness were habits to stay alive so that I could continue producing and ensure that the stress and luxurious life wouldn’t bring obesity and disease.
It took a long time to get the spiritual connection of taking care of my body because I was connected to nature. I had felt this connection early in life while camping in the Sierras and have always had a very active outdoor life. I always had this yearning to spend more time in nature.
When I moved to the beach in May of 2010 I created a direct connection. I moved into a raw diet. I exercised to my maximum. I felt the gratitude of being alive and part of a grand plan. I felt the reward of researching and writing on topics that could benefit others still dealing with the multitudinous responsibilities of societal life.
Cherishing who we are here and gratitude that we are here is part of moving to 100% altruism. Giving something everyday to family, friends, and community makes us feel connected and worthwhile. As vessels not yet united with the Creator, our agenda can be to feel satisfied that we are Contributing.
There are lots of discussions we hear about charity, “paying it forward”, treat others as we would want to be treated. They are all pieces of going from beings whose purpose is to receive abundance to enlightened beings that want to give back.
