Church lesson or just a life lesson?

Tithing

Ok. So probably anyone that has been to a church has heard of this. 

I used to find tithing to be abominable; I thought it was just part of the greed of the church (and I still feel this is true to some extent mind you). But now I think that money is like karma to some extent, if that can even be compared. The more positive energy you give it the more it gives back to you. I've heard some people swear that it can be as much as tenfold, even more if you are to believe Christie Marie Sheldon and her abundance theories. She makes it sound even easier than I do. Although in order for most visualization and affirmations to help you need to generally say them over and over. Right? For months, daily, as heartfelt as you absolutely can...which some days may be not at all (lol). *

So tithing does this as well. It puts chi into your money, it gives it life. It has now been put to good use, by someone who needs it much more than you, because I know no matter what your lot in life there are ALWAYS some far more needy. And when you do that it comes back to you. So you just need to let it go. Obviously life is calling on you to give, so give. Look at it this way...you get to give.***

Give willingly, give lovingly, give with only goodness in your heart and that money will come back to you.  So. 10% seems to the "gold" standard, not sure what falling short would do, but I know giving more is like platinum edition.  Point is, it gives it back to you in spades and in a happy way; not in the: your favorite relative just died way, or you just went through 10 years of litigious hell to get this money, or a million other horrible ways to get money "easily?".  

So yes. Bottom line. Tithing gets your money wheel cranking. Simply put. 

*The Silva Method seems to let you do this for yourself in one day. Which is why I am studying it now.

***Be like the Buddhist monk who caught a thief in their house and gave the thief everything...even the robe off the his back and bid the thief good night and wished that he could even have given him the moon; since that had been such a beautiful star filled and moonlit night.  In another version the thief comes back years later (after jail I believe) and begs to become the monks apprentice.  It's even said that when the police had initially went to question the monk he declined to file a report telling them that he had given everything to the thief gladly; wanting him to truly have it all.
