The fine art of asking

There are the givers and the takers.

Syntropic World is filled with givers. Generosity is the norm. This is a delightful world compared to the rapacious greed of business-as-usual.

Givers need to learn to ask.

When the ask itself comes from our Source, uncontaminated by fear of rejection or imposition, void of expectation and domination or coercion, when we state the ask as it is, a request, then we honour the person or people we are asking with one of the most precious gifts.

Sovereign choice.

The ask is clean and clear. A signal put into the field.

This type of asking requires considerable pre-work. Work to remove all the added emotional and learned paraphernalia — defence, lack of worth, fear of rejection.

We do not burden the person or people we are asking with the expectation of fulfilment. If we do we are making a demand.

Rather we ask the field, trusting that if the ask is true and in integrity to our being, there will be a response from the field, often from an unexpected place, and possibly not on our timeline, rather in Kairos time.

A mushy ask gets a mushy result.

An ask as a transmission will echo across the Universe and be responded to.
