The [[universal]] [[economy]] is based on intake and output; throughout the [[eternal]] [[career]] you will never encounter monotony of inaction or stagnation of [[personality]]. [[Progress]] is made possible by [[inherent]] [[motion]], advancement [[grows]] out of the [[divine]] [[capacity]] for [[action]], and [[achievement]] is the child of [[imaginative]] [[adventure]]. But [[inherent]] in this [[capacity]] for achievement is the [[responsibility]] of [[ethics]], the [[necessity]] for recognizing that the world and the [[universe]] are filled with a multitude of [[differing]] [[types]] of [[beings]]. All of this [[magnificent]] [[creation]], including yourself, was not made just for you. This is not an [[Ego|egocentric]] [[universe]]. [[The Gods]] have [[decreed]], "It is more blessed to give than to receive,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_5] and said your [[Master Son]], "He who would be greatest among you let him be server of all."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_20]

No one can give if he is  
 +
concerned with the result of giving. That is a [[limitation]] on the giving itself,
 +
and neither the giver nor the [[receiver]] would have the gift. [[Trust]] is an
 +
essential part of giving; in [[fact]], it is the part that makes [[sharing]] possible, the
 +
part that guarantees the giver will not lose, but only gain. Who gives a gift
 +
and then remains with it, to be sure it is used as the giver deems
 +
appropriate? Such is not giving but [[imprisoning]]. - [[ACIM Manual for Teachers - Section 6|ACIM Manual for Teachers]]
