The Fixed Pie Tap-Out.... >>defined-expectational fixed pie energy tap out You could have made a lot of money in the 80s talking like this.>> When we are willing to take REAL risk - ie. sharing/loving without expecting anything back in return - we abandon any notion or sense of expectational fixed pies which contain a certain defined amount of "energy" which we can relate to some "expected return." Real risk is when we take full and complete responsibility for sharing/giving/loving as a reflection our our thankfullness and happiness for being alive. We are happy simply because of our abililty to freely give light, hope and energy to others. There shouldn't be any conditions, expectations, restrictions or limitations to happiness - nor the actions of sharing, giving, risking - ie. loving - which become a reflection of this happiness. But the second we insert in our minds some "expected return" from some hidden quid pro quo agenda which motivates and drives our relationships is the moment that magic and wonder and light of risking and loving goes away. It's the difference between "me/I" trying to control/define/possess the relationship and me simply letting go and giving up to express and share in the unlimited wonder behind it's current state and future potential to get better, go higher, etc. Peace. GO!!
