New Age Spirituality – Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 34 )

“No, dear John, no instant travel this time,” she said, “no need for that now. As they say, ‘when you can walk on water, take the boat.’ We’ll use regular airline tickets —normal methods you’re familiar with. By the way, you’ll love the hotel. Right on the beach. Lots of tropical fruit and drink, calypso music to your heart’s content.”nnn“It’s still going to cost a lot,” I said. nnn“Didn’t you hear me? I told you it’s all been arranged. One of Gideon’s friends made the weekend available. No cost — not for food, hotel, airline tickets or anything. As you know, we have connections.”nnn“Yes, but I still feel guilty accepting such an expensive gift.

Receiving is just as important as giving. If you want to receive, you must learn to give. And if you give, you must learn to receive. One cannot exist without the other.”nnn“OK, Gideon, I get it. I’m just a bit overwhelmed at the idea of receiving such a wonderful gift — a great all- expense paid weekend. Thank you, thank you. See?

I’ll let myself out.” He turned and walked clear through the closed door, just as if it hadn’t been there. nnn“How does he do that?” I murmured, more as an observation than expecting an answer. nnn“It’s easy when you know how; anything is easy when you know how,” Marla said.nnn“Yeah . . . sure . . . easy, figured you’d say that,” I mumbled. nnnTo read the rest of the story visit www.spiritual-simplicity.comn
