Donation PayPal button-Glen

[Guest guest]

The button on the main page needs to be visible not hidden- there is

no shame in admitting one needs help. One of my goals is to promote

the site and advertise. I am not opposed if someone just happens to

have money and is all of a sudden k active and really gets into

supporting the teacher and the site. How will they know there is a

need if the button is hidden??

 

I agree with Linda in that the button does not bother me. There are

many sites on the web all with a button for donations. It does not

mean that one has to donate.

I personally have problems with the fact that chrism does not ask for

anything. I have always paid for services and usually over the amount

requested. I feel if someone has a service I need then they deserve

to be paid.

 

This issue is a sticky one with chrism not really wanting to take

monies yet needing some help. If we were in another country there

would be no need for this button- we would be tripping over ourselves

offering to the man who is guiding us- offering food/shelter/whatever.

 

If you look on the other k sites there often is money involved. In

this western society we need to live in a different manner than in the

old days or as they do in other countries where teachers are found.

The wealth of information that is given on this site is worth much in

my opinion. And until chrism can find a means to support himself and

the sites I am all for the group giving what they can.

 

We are looking into products to promote the program- many will have

problems with this but hey folks - k is free - rent/food/clothing/gas

are not. And if we can find ways to support without asking for money

then that is good. I will do everything and anything in my situation

to help chrism. He never asks. That says volumes to me about the

man. He will give til it hurts and he often does - he does not pass

by a homeless person without giving what he has- he offers his time ,

he offers anything one needs- he models what he preaches. So I will

give what I can and I encourage anyone who has abit extra to offer to

your teacher from the heart- a love offering -

 

In the end it is the giver who receives...

 

Sorry this was long ...

I agree that a donate button is ok to have on the site, but that speaks for itself. It should be there, but not THERE, if you know what I mean. First impressions can be last impressions with the K. The people who find us are often in great need and emotionally confused/upset and may seek elsewhere if they feel they will have to shell out money. It should be very obvious that it is an option, but not the first thing one sees. Just my nickel.

I wanted to stay out of this conversation but I must ask you Glen to

keep it hidden. Your occasional mention should suffice. It irritates

me that this is a reality and I do understand the concept of giving

and receiving.

 

All donations are received gratefully. This site will continue

regardless of my situation or presence. If I become involved in a

job that takes away my preence here then that is as it is.

 

Getting back to Jonathans post we live in the western societies and

these societies are run with money. For me to live in this society I

will earn money like everyone does here. If this robs people of

personal instruction the safeties are always there. As well as those

senior members who have been here for sometime.

 

We have the smallest donation button I could find. I do not enjoy

the commercial aspect as Glen as commented on and I do share his

feelings about it. I also realize that for others there is a direct

link between giving and being open to receive and I know this from a

personal " investment " in that platform before I began to teach. I

paid and was more than willing to do so.

 

So the donation buttons are there for that kind of balancing as

well. In the lineage of the ancient and contemporary Hindu this was

and is an accepted form of contribution towards specific teachings.

Similarly to giving a tithe or a donation to a church fund. Though

the teacher is far from a western idea of God.

 

Give if you are called to do so. There is no expectation of it. You

will be treated as I treat everyone. When I am reading your

situation it will come to me the same way with or without any

monetary involvment.

 

The main thing that changes will be time spent in front of the

computer communicating with everyone. This is what will change as

well as some aspects of the sitepat, HC's, diamond healings, etc.

and of course the quarterly solstice and equinox Shaktipats which

well not ever have any monetary attachments but are subject to time

contraints.

 

Its a difficult financial time for most of us. Take care of

yourselves and family first and foremost. If you can contribute to

these teachings in this way we are grateful. If not we are grateful

for your presence regardless. You being here is the most valuable

and precious aspect of this and all of the other sites. - blessings

Thank you for your comment on this Chrism. It must be so embarrassing

for you reading the array of comments on this issue. It would be for

me.

 

I know that most of the regular member s here will be happy to donate

in one way or another. I have seen people on-line charging $200+ per

individual, for the Shaktipat alone. What you give out of kindness is

a gift of no comparison or price. I will be forever thankful to you.

 

Blessings, LS

 

P>S> Is there any title you would be happy being referred to by?

Teacher, Guru, etc...? As when I try to describe to close friends

what you do and your role in my awakening, I get stuck on how to

address you. x
