Dear Friends,
One of the most sure and true ways to invoke the blessings of the divine in your life is to feed someone who would otherwise not eat today. It is more than likely, especially given the current state of world economics, that someone living very close to you, whether they have a home or not, is hungry and doesn't know when they will have their next meal. Some of these people may even be people with children, and the pain that they feel both from their hunger and from their plight of not having food for their children is one of the most intense sufferings that one can experience.
It might seem that going to a seminar or workshop, or sitting in meditation, or doing some kind esoteric practice would be the best way to develop yourself, but feeding someone who is hungry is before all of these. Our growth and advancement in life comes mainly through Grace. Grace comes through the attention of the Divine. The Divine experiences most keenly the suffering of the hungry. When you feed the hungry, you draw the attention and the Grace of the Divine.
You will be given everything you need in order to serve the world - just notice the opportunities all around you and step up to the task at hand.
Love and Peace,
Blake
