Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sounds like a great idea to me I will be one of the first practitioners to work there. I used to be in Camphill in the early 70,s and now am in Energy Medicine......or why not consider this in the States and start a K community/healing Center.

I'm haggling with them now as I will drop the price by at least a quarter.I plan to take possession of it in dec/ jan predominantly as I don't have a use for this forest, I'm buying it on a whim / instinct? here's what came to mind as i read linda's mail about abundance, what about a portion of this Forest for a retreat? with log cabins? treating ill people like john of god in Brazil. I personally feel drawn to use my gift of abundance in this way. it is the very beginnings of an idea , so all please input whatever you think? purple Kundalini-Awakening <%40> -Systems-1 , " Linda " <crazycats711 wrote: > > I am all for it, but maybe not set a manditory amount required. Just keep it on a what a person can afford basis. Biblically speaking, one should give at least 10% of their income to their spiritual teacher, but in christian churches no one is left out if they do not give their share for what ever reason. Learning to be a cheerful giver is more important and of more benefit to all concerned, rather than forcing the giving of a certian amount. That is the way I see it. And in the long run I would think you would recieve more by not setting a manditory amount...just let the people give out of the goodness and abundance of their hearts. We are a people of big expanded hearts here, right? Remember, no one ever, ever gets to out give the God source. What you give is always given back to you in a good measure, press down and shaken together...not always in money(although it could be), but in gifts that are even better than money, precious gifts, like health and love and having your life go smoothly with less and less problems popping up. That is how the law of abundance works, not just for christains, but for all people. When you are lacking in anything, the best thing you can do for youself is to find some way to do service for another out of love, cheerfully. > > Also, from my understanding running a non-profit takes up a lot of time with all the paper work and records that has to be filled out every month. Who will be doing all that paper work? It will be like a full time job for this person. I would not want for chrism to be tied down to doing all that, he would have even less time to answer all those e-mails, phone calls, and posts everyday, as well as all the other things he does for us all. > > If it is non-profit, then chrism does not have to pay taxes on the money that is donated, right? That would be a big advantage of having it non-profit, rather than just sending him money that would require taxes to be paid on it. Or is donated money counted like a gift and not require taxes being paid? I do not know how that works. > > I give my thumbs up for this however/whatever is decided. As many as we are, we should be able to do this easy-peasy. > > Love & blessings, > Linda > > Kundalini-Awakening <%40> -Systems-1 , " flowerpowers7777 " <flowerpowers7777@> wrote: > > > > Hi Tony, > > > > Love how you write - okay I already mentioned that!
