Why donations and organizational contributions to a charity event are so important
by Thomas Hübl
It is important that we help create a platform that addresses the future of society, so that from a larger perspective a giving is taking place. I think the bigger our perspective, the more effective what we bring to the world will be. From this view at a major festival such as the Celebrate Life Festival a very strong joint force arises. And if that power is concentrated, it has a greater effect - in this venue and where we support projects.
The Celebrate Life Festival is a platform of awareness where many of speakers and presenters deliver their great contributions without any pay. These have helped many people in the audience by encouraging them to make leaps in their development. There is a separate spiritual development of participants, and simultaneously - with the contributions paid by people with the organization fee, and by the fundraisers that we do - also our projects that take place in 3rd world countries or even in Germany are supported.
These projects in turn reach people who do not have the chance to go to this festival or other events but this way still can benefit. That means, there is a vertical development of consciousness on one level while there is also an influence on other levels of society that normally have little access to this, and still benefit from it. So coming to the Celebrate Life Festival has a double effect if seen this way.
The Awareness-Radius is Growing
Spiritual practice is on one hand a process of integration in us and on the other a transcendence process. My spiritual practice can not ever center around myself, but with time I become naturally compassionate and expand the radius of the surroundings that I more consciously enclose in my awareness. I begin to care about these things. Not as a from of activism, but because it becomes a need, because I am so connected to all of this. Thus, I will extend the radius of my effectiveness: first on my surroundings, then beyond my surroundings out to a global understanding and on to a universal understanding.
A healthy spiritual development takes this form of Giving Back which arises from a natural need into account. A by-product of spiritual development is that people simply develop a much greater awareness-radius.
