Giving and Receiving (The Letters of Christ)
Personal note : After reading three versions of the Letters of Christ, I felt the impulse to share certain excerpts, letting my intuition tell me which version was the most accurate for each sentence. So here is a version restructured through my current level of consciousness (2023).
These are excerpts from Letter 9.

Attunement with Divine Consciousness and total self-mastery should be your reason for living and your only goal. When you have reached it, everything you have ever wanted for yourself will be yours – in a new, transcendent and eternal way.
You might read these Letters and decide that you want to keep living as you are – in the consciousness of the ego, trusting Divine Consciousness only to help you in difficult times. But I can tell you that life itself will eventually convince you that other paths do not bring the rewards your soul, hidden and silently awaiting its liberation, longs to experience – particularly that of its complete reunion with Divine Consciousness.
The greatest gift you can give yourself – or anyone else – is to accept with gratitude in your own mind – and to try to instill in other receptive minds – the full inspired understanding of who “you and they” really are, and of what can truly be accomplished when “you and they” give up your self-will and seek help, guidance and the satisfaction of all your needs in the SOURCE of your BEING.
Become a Light, for yourself – and for anyone who can receive it.
Be ready to give to others and know that in giving, you are part of the “giving and receiving” system of the entire universe.
It is impossible to give and not receive in return – unless you yourself believe you live only on the income from your work, your bank account and your investments. If that is what you believe, then that is what you will live.
As long as people do not truly awaken, as long as they do not open their eyes to see and clearly understand that they are the individualization of the SOURCE of their BEING, which is a combination of the PERFECT IMPULSES of Creativity and Love, they will remain attracted by the temptations of materialism, the demands of their bodily desires, and by their personal promotion in whatever field: various grabs for power, strikes in business and industry, crude quarrels in relationships, going as far as murder, rape and war. Every time a person acts under the sway of the ego’s impulses to the detriment of others, discord and anger set in.
This is the primordial Law of Existence, which must be proclaimed publicly throughout the world.
How then should human beings strive to live day to day, in a world naturally dominated by the impulses of the ego – this overwhelming desire for personal satisfaction?
The answer lies in my statement: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
This is the first step toward mastering the impulses of the ego.
Remember that what you do to others will ultimately be returned to you. Remember that your thoughts, words and actions of today will take shape in your life in the days, months or years to come. Sometimes it will take years for what you have sown to grow to harvest, and you will have forgotten that you sowed it. But be certain that what you do today will return to you in a similar form, although you may never recognize it or perceive the connection.
Give the acceptance and forgiveness you would like to receive. What is true forgiveness? It is a state of understanding of the other person and of the reasons for their behavior so clear that you can say in all honesty – that there is nothing to forgive.
The loyalty, kindness and generosity you would like to receive when you are in trouble – give them to others when they struggle under heavy burdens. Never turn your back on them coldly.
Learn to look at others or at a situation with the eyes of benevolent discernment. See them as they are in this present moment, then remember that I look at them with love and compassion.
If you see in them that something needs to be improved – for their own good and their future fulfillment – look at them only through the eyes of the heart and of love, and see them as they could be in the future. Lead them in thought to their SOURCE of BEING, and know that your prayer has surely blessed them and opens the door to their development. Let yourself be guided by Divine Consciousness to know whether or not you can broach with them the subject of their “evolution”, and ask how it could be done, to ensure their joyful acceptance of the advice and contribute to the success of their personal development.
