In the last post of this series we discussed the difference between longing and desire.

Longing has its focus on lack or what is missing. Like wishing, it places us in a position of limited possibility. What you focus on grows larger. Inside the web of longing, one tends to feel powerless to change their circumstance.

Desire is of the Father… it is the Formless Consciousness from which we create the life we choose. Desire is the stirring within your soul for All that tends toward Life. Desire is a place of Infinite Possibilities and Power! Inside desire lay the seeds of Wholeness and the key to the Authority of the Concious Co-Creator.

From the space of our God-Realized desire, we may “Lead with our Light”!

Knowing, that everything you need lies inside the Kingdom within and is already in your possession, you are at peace!

We create, or uncover desire from becoming present to what it is we want in the deepest way possible. When you are ready to Lead With Your Light, you will seek:

•Not the gift...but the Giver
•Not the thing…but the state of consciousness from which it arises

Life is consciousness. Life is spiritual not physical.

To the degree to which we can understand these basic Truths, we will create the life we want.

Remember that you already create the life that you choose consciously or unconsciously. Whether you live as a beggar or a monarch inside your Kingdom is up to you.

Do you desire joy, peace, wealth, luxury, security or opulence? No matter, they are all within you.

Access your desire through your emotion! Feel the experience of joy, peace, wealth or whatever you desire.

Emotion = Energy in Motion

Many of us are used to the emotions of depression, lack, sadness and confusion. Expand your consciousness to include your natural state of Being. Feast on the feelings that tend toward Life!

“How do I do this?”, you may ask. Practice is the answer.

Proverbs 4:23
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”

As you shape your consciousness with your feelings of love, joy and gratitude you cannot fail to change your world!

In the next installment of this series we will discuss moving from “desire” to “conviction”.

“Because of a great love, one is courageous.”
~Lao Tzu

The lessons of Love are many and splendid things.
I am learning moment by moment that...
Love does not hurt.

My youngest daughter is home from school and she has chosen to be my Teacher reflecting to me my judgments and insecurities about myself.

My partner and I argue and I swallow my own needs and desires so that I will not be judged as "wrong" or "less than."

Love is teaching me the true meaning of courage in the face of my own fears. The relationship mirror does not show you the image of the other...

There is no other...there is only you.

We are the queen who stands in the reflection of our inner critic, and those who we find to prove to us that Love hurts.

We stand with bated breath, asking for the approval and acceptance that only Love can grant.

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
Who's the fairest of them all?"

No matter who speaks from behind the glass; a lover, a parent, or a child...the words only echo our own fears and self-doubt.

I challenge you to look beyond the talking head into the depths of your own soul. Listen with ears that hear Love'scall.

A Course In Miracles teaches us that every attack is a plea for Love, and every thought that we are not enough or somehow unworthy...is Love's opposite.

You, who give away your power and in doing so, strengthen the bars of your self-made prison cell...

It is time to love yourself free!

Because of Love, you have courage enough to look into the mirror and answer Love's call!

Teach only love, for that is what you are.

Love does not hurt!

We all experience a dark night of the soul. If you are wise you will learn that these experiences come with priceless lessons that can transform life as you know it.

During one such night in my own life, I had an opportunity to heal some issues I've had around lack and money. It allowed me to see patterns and identify core beliefs that I've had for many years. I also begin to see how they have contributed to an underlying sense of longing and need that was there just under the surface.

Longing is defined as: “Strong, persistent craving, a yearning especially for something unattainable or distant.” I knew all about “longing” now I wanted to learn how to “desire”.

The word desire actually means… of the Father.

Desire is a strong feeling, worthy or unworthy, that impels to the attainment or possession of something that is (in reality or imagination) within reach: a desire for success.

Most of us confuse “Longing” and “Desire”. They are two very different things!

Longing = unattainable and out of reach. It’s the carrot that the ego dangles in front of you on a constant basis just out of reach.

Desire = attainable and within reach. Desires are of the Father and originate from Source.

Longing keeps the focus on what’s missing.

Focusing on lack creates more lack!

Inside longing, you operate from a place of “neediness” and you don’t truly believe that what you ask for is possible for you anyway. When you put this energy out into the world people feel it and you come across as inauthentic and self-serving.

Desire gives attention to that which you already possess whether or not it has become manifest in the tangible world yet.

Inside desire you are present to every wonderful possibility!

You know you already have what you have requested from the Source.

Instead of “busyness” and struggle you feel an ease and a natural flow.

Instead of leading with your need, you lead with your Light!

When you put this energy out into the world, everything you create works! People respond readily to your love and authenticity!

You create from a place of wholeness knowing that nothing is missing or lacking and that energy is returned to you in kind!

So in closing:

•Practice releasing resistance to your desires!
•Let longing go!
•Lead with your Light!

In our next post we will discuss how to create desire and build our capacity to allow desire to create a life we want!
