Neart is more than just a psychological strategy for cultivating hope and faith and optimistic thinking. It’s also a cause for living a life according to the dictates of those positive values. If you want water to flow through a pump, you have to prime it. If you want neart to flow through your life, you “prime the pump” by creating the space for the abundance to manifest. That space is created through hospitality, generosity, and charity—good Celtic virtues, all! The only way for neart to flow to us is by creating the means for it to flow through us, which means finding ways to give it to others. Funny—the same thing is often said of love: the best way to find it is to give it away. It has been said that in heaven and hell, we have no elbows. Those who suffer in hell struggle with their inability to feed themselves, since an arm that won’t bend cannot bring food up to the mouth. But in heaven, this same physical circumstance is no problem: for you see, everyone feeds someone else. And no one gets left out.
