Getting To Bestowal

There are two paths we can take to get to bestowal:
  1. We can volunteer and consciously decide that mutual bestowal is better than personal selfishness. Of this it is written, "My heart is with Israel's princes, with the willing volunteers among the people." (Judges 5:9, NIV)
  2. Nature will push us to connect and we won't like it. While there's no coercion in spirituality, nature will give us such horrendous conditions in the quality of selfishness that we'll desperately seek an alternative, mutual bestowal.
Either way, we're going to get to mutual bestowal because that's the purpose of creation. How we get there is up to us.
