For those of you who have read my book, "Sowing Seeds of Purpose", the Universal Account is not a strange term.
If you believe that you get what you give, or what goes around comes around, then you will understand the meaning of the Universal Account.
In life, we give and receive and the universe demands that we balance the two. If I receive help from someone in the form of a loan, then I have essentially made a withdrawal from the universe as well. There are two ways I must now give back in order to balance my universal account.
Number One: I must first repay the loan to the person from which I borrowed, if he or she expects me to.
Number Two: I must now become the "giver" to someone else. It doesn't matter who the receiver is. It may be the same person I just repaid the loan to. This is the most important part of the whole balancing process. For the universe to have balance, we each must be givers as well as, receivers.
If certain people were givers all the time and the rest were receivers, then eventually, there would be nothing left to give. The receivers would have it all and the givers would eventually cease to exist. Once the receivers depleted what was given to them, they too, would cease to exist.
Try and rap your brain around this:
For there to be hot, there must be cold.
How can we understand and appreciate pleasure if we have never experienced pain?
Just ask a person who has been blind from birth, to describe the difference in day and night. They are unable to accurately describe what they have never experienced.
The list could go on forever, but let's look at this from another angle.
If I receive help in any form at all from any one, and the person or people helping me do not expect to be repaid, then I still, have made a withdrawal from the universe and must balance my account so that it is not depleted. In other words, I must put back what has been taken, so that it is there for me to use in the future. It does not matter that the person does not want to be repaid, the account is mine and if I wish to expect assistance in the future, I must give back.
The help you receive can be anything. It can be money, advice, a place to live, moral support, a sympathetic ear, love, patience, respect, hope, etc...
You know when you've borrowed or taken from the universe. Just put it back, or it won't be available to you should you need it in the future.
Here's where I really love this whole concept; you don't have to just keep a level balance. You may also increase your balance!
In other words, you can take the initiative, as I prefer to do, and go ahead and give when your balance is fine. This way, you are way ahead of the game.
I want to suggest that you respect other people's universal accounts as much as your own. When someone wants to give in some manner without you needing or asking, it is your duty to be a gracious receiver. Remember, they have a right to balance or increase the balance of their universal account as well.
If you are offered something you truly don't want or need, you may pass the blessing on to someone who does.
We'll talk more about our universal accounts in the future.
A couple of days ago, Wonder Woman ask me to sing her a song, so I'm including one of my music videos in this post. This is actually my first time posting a video, so forgive me if it doesn't go smoothly.
It seems to work when I go to my site, but the player begins before you get a chance to read the entire post. I'm sure some of you could advise me on the best way to do this in the future and if so, I may share other recordings of mine.
So, here's your song I promised Wonder Woman, and as Paul Harvey would say; "Now you know the rest of the story."
Gift:
God bless
Universal Account Balance... I love it!
My dad has always taught me this principle through his actions. There's no greater way to learn than by example. I try to pass it on.
Thank you for brightening my evening! AND thank you very much for the song! I was interested to see how you would "sing me a song." It was wonderful!
Thanks again-WW
