128: Seminar on “Givers Vs Takers” by Dr Aaron Lim in PJ On Sep 12, 09 (Saturday)

Rules for change

- Awareness of the need for change.

- Slow and gradual (at your own pace).

- Need to become round and smooth. Observe all planets in the universe. All planets are perfectly round. We must choose to smoothen out all jagged edges which affect our happiness.

- Taking full responsibility for your own life. Absolutely no one to be blamed.

Main learning points

1. Don’t anchor love with hurt.

2. Romantic or parental love or love towards relatives/friends is NOT pure love. It is ownership.

3. All the mountains we need to climb ARE only in our mind. Just shift our consciousness by changing the angle we look at things.

4. We give lots of unconditional/universal love, but we have not learnt how to receive and how to take.

5. We don’t love or share or give mainly because we are afraid of the pain of rejection.

6. Love wants to express itself.

7. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change from form to form. Energy must be cyclical.

8. Abundance will go to where the joy is.

9. Giving can easily turn into Taking when Giving does not come with wisdom e.g. Giving things which receiver does not need (such as giving heavy crystal to a divine person). The best and most appreciative gift on earth is “cash/money” which is the most powerful medium of exchange.

10. The Giver must understand the receiver first before giving.

11. Be like “Banyan tree” which is very big and shady with lots of small/tiny seeds. This shows very tiny seed can produce marvelous tree. In the same way, some seemingly very small acts but can produce great impacts/results.

12. Small changes can bring big impacts, e.g. smiling face can improve relationship.

13. Soul needs food. Food for soul is love.

14. When you enjoy the fruits of your crop, always remember the planters!

15. The greatest need of a human being on earth is to be acknowledged. Example, no matter how small a person may be to your life giving you a sms, you must acknowledge with love. Not acknowledging means making the person feels unimportant. Never make any person feels unimportant.

16. The fact that the person has come into your life for any purpose at any given time, he/she is truly important for your learning and growth. Remember he/she is YOU too.

17. Many people have grown in body and biological age but not in spirit, such people are highly immature.

18. Positive thinkers always think with possibility. Positivity means possibility.

19. Who can we recognize? The answer is we can only recognize our own kind, e.g. I can’t recognize any living Buddha or GuanYin or Prophet or Christ even they are right in front of me. This is simply because I am not. I only recognize my own kind who has about the same level of my consciousness.

20. Remember: the wind will not change to suit my sail. I have to suit my sail to the wind. In this case, wind is Nature/God, I can’t expect Nature/God to suit me, but I have to align my heart to Nature/God.

21. Business is about relationship. In business no one is small.

22. If I don’t recognize the person in front of me as God, I will surely damage/destroy him/her. Example, lending money regularly to help a relative/family member/friend or attempting to save him/her from creditors’ harassment. Such seemingly kind action in actual fact will damage/destroy the person’s life. This is because the person is being made not to be responsible for his/her own life.

23. Be aware of the fact that loans to relatives or family members or friends will always end up in zero repayment (according to USA statistics). If you really want to help, it may be a better option to apply for a bank loan where you sign as one of the guarantors. Statistically, bank loans will get a better chance of at least some repayment.
