Generosity
Listen to Mediation Recording.
This section is very thought provoking. Jesus explains the term generosity has special meaning to the teacher of God. It is not the usual meaning of the word; in fact, it is a meaning that must be learned and learned very carefully. Like all the other attributes of God’s teachers this one rests ultimately on trust, for without trust no one can be generous in the true sense. To the world, generosity means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To the teachers of God, it means giving away in order to keep. This has been emphasized throughout the text and the workbook, but it is perhaps more alien to the thinking of the world than many other ideas in our curriculum. Its greater strangeness lies merely in the obviousness of its reversal of the world’s thinking. In the clearest way possible, and at the simplest of levels, the word means the exact opposite to the teachers of God and to the world.
One of the things I came to see from contemplating this section was shared like this: “Forgiveness is the generosity of seeing the truth of what everything is. And so forgiving another, seeing the truth of what they are, and forgiving yourself is seeing the truth of what you are, that we are. All this is generosity.”
