The Art of Desire

This free-form essay is written in a state of meditation. Subjects to whom we are speaking are referred to as “you” and the “we” is representative of collective source energy which informs this subject of desire. The Art of Desire and Knowing are words capitalized to emphasize them as principles of the Universal Law of Attraction. The purpose of this essay is to bring you into greater awareness of the powerful potential of your desires.

 

-Preface-

Desire is delicate. It awakens us to a fresh energy. This energetic potential initiated by desire is by its nature new to you and to me, and like anything that is new, it is fragile. Learning the art of desire is important. How we manage our desires at their beginning will immediately affect their inevitable materialization. Desire and Knowing are the rise and fall of birds wings, and with careful attention to our emotional response to our desires, we will fly unfettered.

What follows is the response given to me in meditation to the question:

What is The Art of Desire?

 

-Desire-

In all of your doing, you are doing under the belief that if you do not do, everything you have worked toward will crumble. This fear-consciousness does not allow love-consciousness, and love is reality. Fear is resistance to love.

You have been trained to reject your desires, but to manifest your desires you must learn to embrace them all.

See the trees? Their desire is to grow, and without question they grow. Even when they are uprooted, or they decompose, they become dirt and still grow. Nothing can prevent their growth, just as nothing will prevent your eventual realization that everything you desire is already yours.

Resistance to your desires results in a feeling of fear, sadness, and discomfort. Desires are meant to be believed in. Desires are meant to inspire you forward into further discovery of the wonders this world has to offer you. Move with your desire because if you do not trust yourself you cannot live fully.

Desires which are resisted lead to all manner of sickness and deprivation, but desire that is embraced and explored with happy anticipation becomes joy unending. You came into this world to enjoy it. Many of you have forgotten this. That you would eventually remember, your body is made so sensationally that it does inform you of how well you are doing fulfilling your purpose of joy.

When it feels good, you are fulfilling your purpose of enjoyment. When it feels not so good, you are diverting from your sweet spot out of a sense of obligation to something other than yourself. The unfolding of Desire is the path of most enjoyment and when you deny yourself your desire, you also deprive yourself of your enjoyment.

Love is reality, and so it follows that fear is opposed to reality. Fear is opposed to your deepest purpose: joy. It does not feel good to act from a position of obligation or fear. It is a good thing, too, so that maybe you will stop opposing your desire and learn to do what feels good to you.

Doing what feels good means that you know how you feel. If you do not know how you feel, you must still yourself until you know. The measure is simple: are you enjoying yourself? Do the thoughts you think make you feel good? This is your only responsibility: to discover your desire.

-Origin of Desire-

When you were first born your desires were formed through contrast. Desires emerge from contrast, so until you had your first experience of pain, you did not know what manner of pleasure you would prefer. By building these preferences, expectations are developed in response to them. Expectations are your way of guarding yourself from the unknown out of fear, but it would do you good to recognize that the nature of the unknown is relentlessly working toward your benefit.

You come to desire something because of your experience without it. The feeling of desire brings the attention to focus. Undivided focus IS desire. Desire which is focused on benefit have an undivided focus on positive outcome. Sustained focus, the Knowing, becomes material reality.

-Purpose of Desire-

Desire gives life dimension.

It gives sensation to the senses. All experience provides contrast, and all desire is born from contrast. Desire is the tool you use to carve out an ever-expanding version of yourself. When desire meets knowing, physical manifestation occurs. This is alchemy.

Desires are ripe for physical manifestation, and rely only on the synergy of Knowing to become physical manifestation. Physical manifestations are relationships between the desire or idea, and the firm believing or knowing that the desire is attained. This is the on-going act of creation, your divine purpose.

Desires are sacred because they provide you the vision and the energy to move forward.

You have been trained to reject your desires but to live fully, you must learn to embrace them all.

You have been taught to suppress desire as if it were your curse, but in this way your wings have been clipped. But you are the masterful creator of your expansion so you may immediately fly again upon remembering that fear of your desire is the blade which clipped your wings.

We are certain that by embracing your desire afresh, you will surely soar.

 

-Desire and Disappointment-

You contain within you all possibilities.

There are experiences among you where you forget your worthiness in your desire, and in your soaring you falter, and as your body plummets you succumb to fear. But if you believe and remember that you are loved and provided for unconditionally, even as your body plummets (or your circumstances get worse), it is our promise to you that you will soar higher than before the plummet.

When you have experienced pain and you focus on that pain, your focus on your disappointment brings it into manifestation. Your vibration can only sustain disappointment if you focus upon it. Disappointment does not exist for the one whose mind is Knowing the goodness of all things. The power is in the synergy between Desires and Knowing.

-Desire and Knowing-

Desire is your pallet of color and Knowing is the brush.

Knowing is that which is understood as IRREFUTABLE. Knowing is the response to Desire, and just as birds wings, the deeper the desire the farther you may expand so long as your Knowing allows it.

The Knowing is this: that if you Desire it, it is yours.

-Desires and Action-

In the same way that embracing desire feels good, so does the moment of inspired action.

Joy is evidence of alignment. Alignment describes the Knowing. The way forward is paved by your Desire if you will trust your emotions to inform you of your joy, and if you will consider your joy the most important purpose of your life.
