Tithing
This is our most asked
question by far. And since second place falls to
"How do I find the woman/man of my dreams?" we
thought it would be easier to answer the tithing
question.
As we have said before you can send your tithe to
any person, business or organization that is doing
the Good Spiritual Work of the Universe. And your
tithe is more effective if you send it to the source
of your spiritual enlightenment.
The key here is your good intention. If your intent
is pure, you can't go wrong. If you intend to give
back to God out of love 10% of your income, then He
will guide you to where to send the check. You don't
have to worry about making a mistake. Just send the
check.
When we started tithing we weren't sure where to
send the check either. Naturally, we sent much of
our tithe to Marilyn, she was our teacher. But over
time we had other teachers, a religious organization
as well as individuals, so we developed a tithing
list. Every time a check came in we would sit down
and decide who got what. The names and amounts came
easily. They still do.
Our son started by sending his tithe to Stevie
Wonder the recording artist. Obviously Mr. Wonder
didn't need the money, but that's not the point of
tithing anyway. My son felt like he had received
spiritual good from the man and sent him his tithe.
Marilyn, I believe, tithes to a lady who writes
books that inspire her. The idea is you can't go
wrong. Try something. If you don't like it, do
something else next time.
The amount you tithe is fixed, 10%. But you get to
decide where it goes. Have fun. Enjoy this
experience. Tithing is one of the greatest joys in
our life.
Write down, "I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt
where and to whom to send my tithe." Then meditate
for a few minutes and probably a name or an
organization will come to mind. Act upon these
feelings and send your tithing checks accordingly.
Don't get hung up on where you tithe. The important
this is that you DO tithe. Tithing is a physical
manifestation of your goodness and love. How can
goodness and love ever be wrong? It's not possible.
Tithe and you are Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams.
