Givers and takers, we are either one or the other. This paradign applies to pastors, politicians, mothers, fathers, business men, doctors, lawyers, rich or poor, actors and actresses, or anyone for that matter. Ones orientation to the world will determine which you are.

Since most humans are unawares that this present world in which we find ourselves is an asreal world or a shadow world, they for the most part only react to what they see out there. In other words they are reactive rather than proactive. Reactive people are takers. They have not grown out of the baby stages. In their spiritual retardation they have not developed their understanding to grasp that they are wrapped up with themselves. They see that the world revolves around themselves rather than to higher states of consciousness where they begin to understand that it is really not about them, but about others. But the burnings of this present world are designed to reveal this self-centered orientation.

In the democratic societies which we are most familiar with, takers vote themselves entitlements, or on the other end of the spectrum, when it comes to members of the Congress, they opt out of paying Social Security taxes. In the business world they use pyramid schemes to line their pockets, or fraudulent tactics to gain advantage. In the arts they award themselves with idols. In the lower echelons of society they rob banks or rape women. In the day to day involvements and interactions of life they are gossips. The takers, in their pursuit of happiness, take any route of least resistance, and which does not involve sacrifice, or risk.

You can spot a taker very easily. Their speech is laced with “me” talk. What I mean by that is their conversation always is about themselves, or their small world, and petty needs. They always want to be served, and never think about serving. As you watch the country fall deeper and deeper into the economic pit, the fire and burnings will cause the takers to come to the surface and be revealed, so watch for the takers to become more obvious.

But don’t be like them. Act like whom you are and supposed to be; Servants of the Most High God.
