Thanks for chiming in … from an HBR perspective, his beliefs are aligned … from what you say, his giving is not coming from “guilt,” which tends to constrict abundance … it’s coming from a belief that the Universe will respond to his giving by giving … and that is a belief that is in alignment with his Higher Self …

People who think they lose by giving are not aligned. People who realize that abundance is an idea, and that ideas are limitless, realize that by giving they increase the idea of abundance. Thereby attracting more abundance to themselves.

A Course in Miracles talks about this, it’s along the lines of Christ with the fishes and loaves:

“Be not afraid, my child, but let your world be gently lit by miracles. And where the little gap was seen to stand between you and your brother, join him there. And so sickness will now be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies, and gently shows you that you never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will make a place of welcome for your Father and your Self. The door is open, that all those may come who would no longer starve, and would enjoy the feast of plenty set before them there. And they will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked to come to you.

“This is a feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the world has shown. For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is left for all the rest to share. The Guests have brought unlimited supply with Them. And no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father lays before His Son, and shares it equally with him. And in Their sharing there can be no gap in which abundance falters and grows thin. Here can the lean years enter not, for time waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For love has set its table in the space that seemed to keep your Guests apart from you.”

Make sense?
