The Universal Law of Give and Receive, Part 1/2
Suzanne Maresca: Good morning and welcome to another offering of Heavenly Blessings with Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love and author of The Great Awakening, and myself Suzanne Maresca.
We continue our series on Universal Law with the discussion of the Law of Give and Receive. Sanat Kumara returns today to help us to understand that in order to achieve balance and reach our full potential, it’s necessary to be able to receive as well as offer ourselves in service. Many of us on a daily basis are committed to service to others, yet along with that must come an honoring of the self. The Council of Love tells us that this is where creation takes place, within the wholeness of who we are.
This is a timely discussion for me because I’ve been wondering where exactly that balance is. Quite often we’re dealing with vows of service and maybe even poverty taken in past incarnations that in this go ’round, we have little or no conscious awareness of. I’m looking forward to the discussion. Good morning, Linda.
Linda Dillon: Good morning, Suzi, and good morning everybody. Yes, this is a big discussion and this Universal Law, which most of us are familiar with, is actually more complex and deeper. I think it will reach deeper into our hearts than we anticipate. We see this overriding theme of balance in the Universal Laws because they’re all interconnected.
Every time I begin my meditations in order to get ready for the show, Sanat Kumara brings in those balance scales – the scales of justice – and reminds me they have to be even. And we all waffle back and forth so there’s always a little tilting back and forth, but by and large, we have to be even.
SM: We can think of ourselves as “good people” if we’re selfless and always helping others, but I’m very interested in hearing what Raj has to say because the Council of Love always comes up with expanded view of any given topic.
LD: Yes they do, don’t they? Last night was one of those where there wasn’t a lot of sleep for me, but somewhere around 3AM I was actually in Joshua Tree, and we were having this discussion about this very particular Law of Give and Receive. So I must have been thinking on some level about our show today.
They were showing me, mostly through movement and mudras, how the biggest issue with this law is not only how we give, but how we give and bring in the energy to our self. And how we receive that energy from the universe not just in terms of “stuff” or from other people, but from the universe to ourselves and from our self. Fascinating. Too often I think, Suzi, when we’re doing our work and when we’re doing our giving, the last person we give to is our self.
SM: Absolutely. And we have this conditioning around the axiom, “It’s better to give than to receive.” And I’m not sure where that falsehood came from, but it’s pervasive.
LD: It is, and “Don’t be selfish” is another one. In fact, Archangel Gabrielle is really quite outspoken on this issue. Most of the masters are, but we know she always has an outrageous sense in the way she puts things. But she’s emphatic that if we’re not being selfish in the best sense of the word, self-centered, then how on Earth can we give to others?
I was reading this morning what I’ve previously channeled on this subject. One line from Sanat Kumara really jumped out at me. And it was “what you create within will be what is.” We forget that. What we’re creating inside of us is pretty much what we’re going to experience in the external world.
SM: And that will be our outer expression, what other people see about us. We might not realize what they see.
LD: Yes, what we might not realize is as that channel went on, he was emphasizing to completely eliminate the word “but.” The Council Of Love laughingly calls it “the big but.” How many times do all of us consciously and unconsciously say “I would love to do that, I would love to be able to experience that, but….” And it’s time to let that go. If we can just say “I would love to experience that and I open and receive” then it starts to change and shift the paradigm.
SM: Yes, and it seems that there are those who feel that they don’t deserve, and that even the word deserve is something that should be eliminated. And there’s a difference between deserving and entitlement.
LD: What the balance discussion is about, particularly with give and receive, is that we’re really good at giving. But as you said, people – especially light workers and love holders – we’re not so good at receiving.
SM: Truly so. Speaking of entitlement and the difference between deserving and entitlement, I’m wondering if entitlement is in some way a version of lack of self-worth.
LD: In some ways I would agree with you. But I think of when people act entitled, it’s like the grown-up version of the small wounded child saying “I want, I want, I want.”
We learn about Universal Law because we need and we want to understand as we’re growing how things work. That’s what Universal Law is about. And as we do this, we’re learning that the key to this really is the willingness to say “I want” and “I desire”, and that it’s not wrong or selfish, it’s okay.
SM: It’s okay to think of ourselves as worthy of being loved, supported and all those good things. We all deserve it. We are children of God.
LD: So many of the things that we want, I mean the things we really want, are intangibles, not things that we can see. We want the safety, security and nurturing. We want the honoring and respect, and the feeling that we’ve got a close circle of people who really care about us and who have our back, whether it’s two of us or ten. These are the things that we want to receive when everything else is stripped away.
SM: Yes, and we need to understand that that’s why we’re here, and that’s the bounty that God wants for us and that the Mother wants for us, and that we deserve it. And that’s all there is to it.
LD: That’s all there is to it. So now I’m ready for a meditation if you are. You know it’s a delight every week to do this show with you and with everybody who’s listening. It’s a great time of the week.

Sanat Kumara: Greetings, I am Sanat Kumara. I am Raj, keeper of the Universal Laws, like you beloved ones, servant of the Mother. I come to speak to you this day about the Universal Law of Give and Receive. And yes, as the channel has said, it is an extension of the Law of Balance. It is finding that balance within the uniqueness of your being – and adhering to it.
There is an incomplete understanding on the planet of Gaia about this law and how it operates. And all you have need to do is to look to Gaia to understand the truth of how this works. Gaia, in her sweetness and her power, houses and creates a home to all kingdoms, including the human kingdom. She gives a home to the plants and trees, to the Earth and sky, to the elements and minerals. Yes, that means the volcanoes, the oceans, the puddles, the streams and the very air you breathe. And she gives this and supplies this pretty much endlessly. And the only places that does not occur is where the interference of the humankind and the turning away of humankind has destroyed that.
But even in the most difficult situations of extreme pollution, there is still the giving by Gaia of air, of water, of soil and of minerals. She gives and gives and gives. And at times we would say from our perspective she has given even to her detriment. But you see, our opinion in this doesn’t really count.
It is what Gaia chooses to do. Just as each of you choose to give. But what is on the balance of receive? Again look to Gaia. She witnesses and sees and receives the gratitude as you do not think of it this way, but perhaps we can expand your understanding of this.
The molecules of the ocean, every drop of water sing her praises. The trees bow to her and sway. The flowers grace her with beauty and scent. The roots of the trees that go so deep into her heart they do so not only to draw upon her strength, her wisdom, her nutrients, her water, but they also travel downwards to hug her, to be with her. The animals dance and play and express their gratitude; from the river otter to the tiger, they all honor and know. And for Gaia this has been what she chooses to receive.
In the older times, and in many ways when the human beings, the collective, were more sophisticated, the honoring of Gaia, the giving of gifts – and, no, we do not include human sacrifice in this – but the giving of gifts, the ritual, the ceremony, the connection was also a receiving to Gaia. It was a giving of the humans but it was a receiving with great joy on her part.
And so now, so many humans have forgotten. But you, my beloved friends, are the repatterners, you are the wayshowers, you are the re-griders and you give this gratitude to Gaia, this acknowledgment of her beauty, or her might of her love and support and she receives it with a glad heart and enormous gratitude.
And then what does she do with it? She returns it to you as energy, as bounty, as support. You see the flow of give and receive is unending. It is in accordance with the Law of Movement and the Law of Change. There is a never-ending flow but it is the balance between the give and the receive. And as Gaia receives your gratitude, your love, your expressions of love, then she receives that energy. The fuel for the universe is love. So you refuel her and then she refuels you. And so it goes.
Now, what can you do in this particular cycle? Because do not forget as planetary logos I see the unfoldment of the Mother’s plan on Earth. Not just with humans, but with all. Gaia has anchored now very fully and firmly in the fifth dimension. It is her new home. And of course you are there with her.
So what can you give her in this time of change and the dissolution and elimination of the old third? What can you give her? It is your willingness to release all the old, all the old false grids, the old ways, the illusions of separation, of lack, of self-worth, of fear. Let this be your gift to her. And then receive from her the conscious, heart-knowing of being with her fully and completely in the fifth dimension and therefore all dimensions and realities.
This is the biggest gift, and you would give it not only to Gaia but to all of us. This is part and parcel of your ascension and I am asking you, give us your illusions. It is the most precious gift that we could possibly receive at this juncture. And at this time of your jump in consciousness. In the expansion of your heart and the realization that you are love and nothing else. You may think that you are skin and bones and a bit of hair, but even that dear heart, the fibers of that creation are love.
Gaia, this mighty Archangel, lives in accordance with the Law. And hence, she is a powerful transmuter. So do not think that if you are giving her your illusions, your vasanas, your issues and every false grid that has ever existed within humanity that you are somehow burdening her. It is transmuted back to light and love – faster than the blink of an eye.
This flow is at the speed of love. The give and receive is at the speed of love. And that is the speed of light squared. You do not yet have measurements on Earth for this. But certainly your star brothers and sisters do. And while you are at it, what do you choose to give your star brothers and sisters? Perhaps you could give away the residue that makes your fields incompatible and perhaps you could receive from them the upgrades, the love, the attunement in the vibrations so that you can have the fullness of your meet and greet.
What can you give each other is the most important, beloveds, what can and what will you give to yourself? You cannot give away your energy and not replenish yourself. So as you give, it is the law that you must receive. And even though you are inadvertent law breakers, it matters not. Now is the time for this course correction. Where do you wish to begin, Suzanne?
SM: Thank you Raj for joining us once again on this journey of discovery. Welcome. The first thing on my mind and in my heart to ask is this: A few years back when that movie The Secret came out about matching our vibration with what we want, I started imagining all kinds of things that I wanted to do with my home and the land I live on.
After a time I lost interest in personal desires and started truly wanting instead to call in blessings for the collective. Soon my prayers and meditations were all about peace and unity for all of us. And I felt in my heart that this transformation was natural and indeed perfect. It felt to me that when I offered myself in service and with love, that my needs would be seen to without my having to focus on them.
I do truly appreciate what is so about my life right now and at the same time, I admit that I’m bone tired and I’m wondering when relief is coming. I spend so much of my energy in service that I feel that there’s not much left for me things, and those me things require resources that right now are beyond my reach. Can you please help me understand how to find balance?
Raj: Yes. And this is a question and a situation that applies to many of you. Because it is, I give and I will give to the collective. And I sometimes have been guilty of the same issue, you know. So I know whereof I speak. In fact, every ascended master on this side knows whereof you speak.
And it is a matter of finding the balance. Dear heart, and I do not say this in criticism, but where did you disappear to? Well, you forgot. So it is not simply an either/or. It is a balance. It is the balance of doing your creation work for the collective but it is also doing your creation work for your sweet self as well. And it is holding that vision. And it is wide open and yes, we do not say that the funnel, as it were, hasn’t been exceptionally slow and instead of olive oil, it has been as if it is a very thick molasses coming through.
But that does not mean that you are supposed to deter your thoughts, your actions, your creation work away from what you desire. From everything from a space vehicle to food on the table, to bodywork, to partnership, to laughter, to ease. Because what you are really asking for the collective, of course is the higher vibration of unity and peace – and these are what we work on as well. But what is the expression of that? Of course, it is a ceasefire in Syria, or Afghanistan. We know that and so do you. But what does it express as in your very life? In your day-to-day, human, high-vibrational life?
Now you say to me, Raj, if the money would flow – and we do not care if the resources are a bag of groceries or healthy food that just appears on the doorstep – or whether it is a check in the mail, we don’t care how it appears, as long as it does appear. But in fact, many are very specific about how they wish to receive, which is peculiar. Because when you put out your request for what you wish to receive, we know the details. And much of the details have need that the “how” be left open, because that is the walk of trust.
I do not wish to be dismissive of this situation because many of you are bone tired, weary, soul-weary. And that is why several of you have also been put, shall we say, on sabbatical. And you do not need to wait for us or the Divine Mother to put you on sabbatical, dear heart. When you are exhausted, you put yourself on sabbatical.
But bring it back into the balance of what you are doing and creating, giving to the collective, and what you are giving to yourself. And understand that it is also in accordance with the other laws of above and below, and change, attraction and repulsion – all of these are one codification.
So do not do a creation exercise where you are simply asking to receive or you are giving. Make it, bring it back to the balance. So I am giving this to the collective, I believe I am being taken care of, but I am putting in my order for that bag of groceries today. And make it everything that I love to eat – from leafy greens to tea, to chocolate.
SM: Don’t forget the chocolate.
Raj: Your star brothers and sisters would never forget the chocolate.
SM: Thanks for that. So for me I just need to work on what it is that I can create for myself.
Raj: No. You are not in this alone. I wonder if all of you do know that. Yes, you do your creation work and might I say you do it very well. And, yes, it is taking action. It is not just the Law of Attraction you are working with. It is the codification. It is all the laws. So what you are doing, you are assigning things. So think of yourself as if you are patterning, I invite you to do this, all of you. You are patterning yourself after me.
You are part of my team, that is why we are having these discussions; whether you are magenta or gold or blue or ruby. You are part of my team on the ground.
Pattern your creation after me. So I do not do everything. When you are creating and you are saying this is what I wish to create for myself, this is what I wish to receive in order that that constant flow that I can give and give and give and receive and receive and receive – assign tasks to your guides. Assign tasks, even to the Archangels, to the angels at large, to Saint Germaine, to Yeshua, to me.
Because there are many things that you would like to create. Let’s face it, currently you don’t have the wherewithal or shall we say the flexibility, to move throughout the universe the same way your guides and we do.
So you say to your guides, “I am asking you to deliver me “X.” Then you say to Gabrielle, “I am asking you to bring me a wellspring of joy” and then you say to Yeshua, “I am asking you to bring me the ability to multiply fishes into delicious meals.” Assign things and the best part of this, the most important part of this, is don’t take back the assignments.
All of you have had situations, whether it was in your family structure, particularly with your mothers, or in a work environment where somebody has asked you to do something and then before you have the chance to do it, and to have the gratification of doing it and doing it well, that that person went ahead and did it. That is soul-destroying. And it does not give you the feeling that you are appreciated, honored and respected for what you are capable of. So too, often you ask your guides for help and then you say “well its noon and they haven’t delivered so I guess I’d better do it.”
So do not grab it back, sweet angels. Allow the delivery. Now, can you send the energies and pull it across the grid? Of course you can. This is a team effort. But the biggest creation in giving and receiving right now for all of you is the declaration and the truth that you are joining Gaia in the fifth, that you are giving her the illusions, the fragments, the strings that still tie you, whatever they are, it matters not, and that you are receiving the full impact of shifting dimensions. In this time, that is what is being asked of you. And for the other things you wish to receive, put in the order. We are not saying to stop your creation work, but just know that is top priority.
