Power Of Desire
Understanding the Power of Desire:
Since the phrase “choiceless awareness” is probably unfamiliar. Everyone wants to have their dreams come true, and various ways have been suggested to make that happen. Often, we are told to follow our dreams by working hard, preparing the way for future opportunities and never giving up. But there is conflicting advice, which says the opposite: The universe holds the ultimate power to bring our desires to fulfillment and, therefore, letting nature takes its course is a better way than striving.
Some people “go with the flow” and others believe that preparation plus perspiration is the key to success. But there’s another concept that embraces both extremes. It holds that the power of desire depends on your state of awareness. In higher states, less effort is needed than in lower states. Certain conditions have to be met within each person. Consciousness brings its own fulfillment only if consciousness is clear, alert, awake, holistic and connected to the source. The ultimate state of awareness is unity consciousness, where everything happens so automatically that the person isn’t even aware of making a choice. A desire is immediately followed by its fulfillment.
When you haven’t reached unity consciousness, there is a gap between what you want and what the universe brings to you. This can be a gap in time or in results. By that I mean you may have to wait, and the result that comes to you may seem less than ideal. We all experience this gap, and to be frank, millions of people embedded in the materialist worldview deny that desires come true through anything but effort. They claim that our thoughts, wishes and intentions exist completely inside our brains, having no connection with the world “out there.”
The picture is confusing, which is why you find yourself caught between one theory of intention and the other. To get out of this confusion, the only way is to keep experiencing your present state of awareness and looking for clues for expanding it, since the world does, in fact, reflect who you are inside. We all have conflicting desires, and we drift from very clear moments of awareness to duller, more confused moments. Don’t take that as a reason to be discouraged. The whole fascination of personal growth lies in the journey, with all its twists and turns.
