" That which you take of this world and keep to yourself is not that which you are... but that which you are not. It is that which you are empty of. Those who take from this world and don't give are the empty. Those who seek to gain love from this world, but not to give love... are the loveless. And those who seek to get blessed from the world but don't bless... are the unblessed...the black flowers.

So that which you would have your life become is the very thing you must give. Therefore, live a life of giving love, and you will have love. Live a life of giving your possessions, and you will be rich. Live a life of blessing others, and your life will always be blessed. For the light shines on every flower. But each flower becomes only the light it gives back. "

― Jonathan Cahn , The Book of Mysteries
