How to Manfiest Question
My question is on tithing. If one’s reality is that they must tithe financially to become wealthy than it is so for them, and if one believes it is not necessary to tithe to achieve financial success than it is so for them, since we all create our own reality? What is your answer to this? I’m puzzled. I’ve been studying the Law of Attraction since last summer and read Ask and It Is Given, and I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams which claims it is absolutely necessary to tithe 10% before taxes to receive. At times I do enjoy giving but do I have to in order to receive financial success, and security? – Penny

Yes, it is necessary to give in order to receive AND yes, if someone has pure belief about something then it is true for them and there reality shall be different than someone who does not have that pure belief. However, this answer doesn’t apply to whether or not it’s necessary to give. I will explain why.
On our spiritual path, there are levels of consciousness that are obtained as we grow. Within each level of consciousness are certain Truths. As we obtain higher and higher states of consciousness, we assume these truths and we shed the illusions that we previously held on lower levels of consciousness.
That said, it is not in alignment with the higher states of consciousness to have a ‘belief’ that it’s not necessary to give and to tithe. There is a consistent sense of perfection, desire and joy within higher states of consciousness that simply inspire giving.
The question of whether or not to tithe comes from a lower level of consciousness and cannot be separated from the fear that inspires it. If it cannot be separated from the fear, then it is a toxic and negative vibration and therefore does not hold a pure, positive vibration but just the opposite.
Giving, tithing, and sharing have higher vibrations than stockpiling, hoarding, and storing. When we give we experience concentrated moments of joy, freedom, gratitude, love, willingness, revelation, trust, certainty and peace.
When we hoard, even if it’s inspired hoarding, we miss out on the vibrations of joy from giving. Inevitably, we tap into that stream of consciousness that contaminates our vibration with fear.
Fears such as:
- There’s not enough.
- What if something bad happens?
- I have to protect myself and my family.
- I don’t know how they will use my money; therefore I don’t want to give it away.
- What if I go through what I went through before?
- I never want to be broke or poor again.
- I don’t know how long this prosperity will last.
Here’s another example to sharpen your perspective on this:
Some skeptics call ‘law of attraction’ students hedonistic because we believe that we should do ‘whatever feels good’. They justify their name-calling, by following the linear rationalization which would imply that if we ‘felt like’ committing a violent act, we’d just do it. If we ‘felt good’ about stealing, we’d just steal. If we ‘felt good’ about being promiscuous, irresponsible, careless, or selfish, we’re free to follow that self-indulgent, pleasure-seeking inspiration without consequence.
This is a gross misinterpretation of what we really know and the guidelines that we follow. We understand that we reap what we sow. Murder, for example, is never inspired from a higher level of consciousness. No matter how much someone ‘believes’ they can get away with it, the act itself is governed by a negative state of consciousness and therefore, has negative consequences. Even if a criminal avoids imprisonment or governmental consequences, the law of cause and effect will wield its’ own fury that cannot be avoided.
The same is true for tithing. When we refuse to give, we are yielding to a lower level of consciousness that will predictably and unsurprisingly cause less prosperity and more strife in our lives.
Therefore, even when we don’t ‘feel’ like tithing, find a way to joyously give and to share anyway because this automatically boosts your level of positive consciousness!
As my honey says in a mocking, pretentious faux-accent “Anything less would be uncivilized.”
