The vibration that you are transmitting is actually saying to them, I do this for you because I see that you cannot do this for yourself. Your vibration is actually focused upon their lack of Well-Being and therefore, even though you have offered money or food through your action, your dominant offering is perpetuating their lack.”” [Esther Hicks](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/esther-hicks/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
