Desire as Having

How easily we misinterpret the language of the soul! How little we understand our true nature.

For example, we often misdirect the soul’s language as a desire for form. The greater the desire, the more we seek. So, we seek and accumulate more (more things, more people, more accomplishments). Maybe you only crave God — but we apply ‘forms’ to God, too, and reach for them in the same way. When we discover the forms do not match our desire, we tire of the search, apathy arises, and eventually the cycle begins anew.

The cycles end only when we turn toward deepening the experience of what we already have. In fact, the desire itself is part of what we crave. Sink into that, discover what it becomes. Whatever it is you think you seek, desire only appears when you already have. In this way, desire may be translated as soul-level recognition, gratitude, enjoyment. This is a way of dropping into God/Consciousness.

The strength of desire increases as you more deeply experience what you are already given. As this happens, the form adjusts to match. Eventually, attention drops away from form almost entirely as the true nature of life becomes visible.
