How to Embrace the Power of Desire?

Hey there, seekers of conscious living!

I've been eager to share my thoughts on a topic that's been buzzing in my mind lately—desires. We've all grappled with the paradox of desire—heard it's the root of suffering, yet also a powerful force in the law of attraction. The question remains: Is desire a blessing or a curse? Join me as we uncover the mysteries surrounding desires, exploring the nuances that shape our lives.

In our journey together, we'll unravel the layers of confusion that desire often brings...

I've found that desire can be a tricky companion, often shrouded in confusion, especially when we're striving to manifest our visions for the future. Do we deny, shrink, or rationalize our desires, fearing they're too outlandish or that time is slipping away?

The real trick, I've discovered, is acknowledging all our desires without judgment. Recognizing that not all desires stem from the depths of our hearts and souls is crucial. Some may be rooted in unconscious patterns, wounds, trauma, or societal conditioning.

Desires are inherent to our human nature—they drive our evolution. As Rabbi Mark Gaffney beautifully puts it, what if desire is the very thing we should aspire to desire? What if it's the driving force that makes us come alive, igniting passion, and compelling us to pay attention to our innermost longings?

Wanting not to have desires is, paradoxically, still a desire—an attachment to outcomes. Acknowledging desires sets energy in motion, rather than fearing the void desires may create, I've discovered that learning to handle the energy they bring can help us come alive.

It begins with acknowledging and giving voice to every desire, from the most beautiful and socially accepted to the outrageous and unconventional. Writing them down, speaking them aloud, repeatedly asking, "What do I want?"—these are steps toward understanding true callings.

In my own story, I've realized that the worst moments weren't the heartbreaks but the times when I felt nothing—a void, disconnected and numb. Desire, when harnessed correctly, becomes a powerful energy that propels us forward. Kabbalistic Tantra teaches us to embrace desire, to let it be our guide, and to vibrate with the anticipation of its fulfillment.

In exploring the depths of our desires, pay attention to the qualities present in the greatest expression of your desired manifestation. Embody those qualities now and prepare for their arrival with the energy of anticipation. There's a transformative difference between the uncomfortable want of not having and the joyful anticipation of feeling it already present. This isn't just wishful thinking; it's a conscious, creative process of aligning yourself with the energy of your desires.

I personally hold a great desire - a desire for me is to be able to support children in need, help them create foundations for their lives, and feel the power of creating consciously.

I encourage you to use the energy of desire as your teacher, a force that propels you forward. Relax into the certainty that what you desire is on its way. This resonates with the world, signaling our readiness to receive. After all, embracing desire isn't just about wanting something; it's about becoming it.
