The greatest possible gift is the gift of everything. When you remind someone that deep down that person is a God, you're giving the gift of everything to that being.

It doesn't even matter if that's yours to give. What matters is that you agree should someone be able to receive such a gift, you're more than OK with the person receiving it, and, you'll do everything you can to help. That intent in and of itself constitutes the entirety of the gift. It's the ultimate generosity so complete that there is no remainder.

People who help other people become Gods are known as Gods of Gods. They are rare indeed. For every 100 people willing to become Gods there is only 1 willing to help others become Gods. Why so? Because most beings are in the grips of a deluded thought that they're competing with something or someone for power. Because they think there is a fierce competition for power, they refuse to teach other people ways of power. In this way they demonstrate no small amount of both ignorance and cowardliness.

Indeed, there is no competition. The more you give away, the more you keep. Give it all away and you keep it all to yourself. Why so? Because the act of giving is only an illusion and if you agree to give it all away, you're saying to illusion, "I am calling your bluff! You, the mundane appearance, make it seem if I give everything away, I'll be left with nothing. I call your bluff now!" It takes immense courage to teach someone something that conceivably they could attempt to use against you or your ideal vision. You really have to go whole hog on this whole illusion thing not to fear anything of the sort.
