Sir CH,
naalala kita habang kumakain ng almusal kanina. kaya ikinagat kita

Hi Jelly Ace
I’m glad that your Husband was able to reach a realization. Nahipuan sya ng Holy Spirit.
Yan ang tinatawag na Spiritual Change. Most often it is instantaneous. True Change is most often instantaneous or quick…or a few weeks or months. hindi dapat umaanot ng taon yan. hehe
It happens on the Crown Chakra and for the Crown Chakra to be activated, the heart must be activated first. Kaya talagang napaka importante ang “Sacred Heart” … imho, the heart chakra.
Hindi ba’t turo sa atin sa Christian Tradition is that it is in Giving that we receive….and it is in sharing that we are blessed with abundance.
If you look at the Yin and Yang symbol, ang white may black dot, ang black may white dot, so in giving we are entitled to receive, and vice versa.
Hindi pwedeng inhale lang ng inhale. Kelangan mag exhale. Kaialangan mag flow…
It is good that he decided to donate. That’s the first step of giving.
But think of it this way, if you are a farmer, how would you maximize your yield? Hindi ba dapat may system of planting?
Same thing with giving. May paraan para ma optimize ang giving. May hierarchy ng giving.
Usually the people around us are the ones we have the most karmic affinity. In some schools of thought, tawag nila dito karmic obligation.
So the first obligation is to God, so this can be your church or your spiritual Teacher’s organization. Dapat eto yung kung saan kayo actively nakaka kuha ng spiritual nourishment. Meaning dapat active kayo doon.
Then your parents….siblings…
Then family employees (katulong, boy, driver), kamag anak, employees of your business/ family business if meron kayo, friends,
Then outsiders
Hindi strictly ganito, sometimes there are cases na may uunahin ka. On this you have to exercise sound judgement.
Then if you have special needs.
Examples.
1) If medyo slow ang anak niyo sa school. Donate regularly to institutions that support education. Pwede din kayo mag paaral ng promising child
2) If say may arthritis kayo or it runs in the family, you can donate regularly to institutions that support people with arthritis (or any ailment you have), or Research and Development in the field of Arthritis.
The point is here is you should plant on the most fertile seed. Generate good karma. This is not about bribing God as some had said here in the past. Again, this is generating good karma. This is about giving up something for something.
You have people trying to complete Simbang Gabi or Bisita Iglesia. That’s a form of sacrifice, but in my opinion on a lower degree. madali lang kasi yan kung desidido ka. Giving until it hurts dapat. Meaning you give but not within your comfort zone – hindi ka kasi nag sasacrifice nun.
Give and give continuously hanggang lumaki ang good karma bank account mo. In other traditions, they call these “merits”.
But don’t forget to pray and decree like, “may this donation come back to me in the form of healing my (ailment), or in the case of my friend, the healing of his daughter (autism). Or if you’ve been wanting something (dapat good wants ha…hindi bad wants). Then pray for it, decree that the good karma be used for that….don’t forget to include in your prayers that they be given to you quickly and properly. Kailangan may word similar sa “properly”.
Ultimately it is God’s Will. He will decide. If walang nangyayari, the karma balance will be untouched OR something better will be given.
Minsan pag hindi nangyayari, MAYBE, kulang pa or something should change first ie work harder or do it differently or you need to purify and give more.
Kadalasan isa sa MALAKING hadlang pag materialize ng prayers ay yung negative feelings specially Anger, Hate and their variations. You have to forgive and ask for forgiveness.
Then you also have to purify your vessel…yourself… by doing spiritual practices…
Then samahan niyo ng totoong FS…ayun you’re on a Jet Plane.
Note: Paki hanap yung post ko sa Tithing thread. Alam ko mas comprehensive yung sinulat ko doon, kung hindi ako nagkakamali.
You have to feel your way into this, it took me years to fine tune it. Start small sa giving. Try to make it regular…then pag lumaki biyaya, then give more…and more..
Give, and leave some to invest for your future .
