What you really desire.

If you are anything like me, you think about what you desire often. You picture it, add details to it every day. You think about how much better your life will be when...

Knowing what you desire is good. Whether you believe in Manifestation or have a traditional work ethic, the starting point is the same. It is easier to hit the target if you know what you are aiming for. [Actually, I am not sure I believe that that last sentence is actually true.]

In the Abraham teachings, we are often taught, "think only of what you want and why". This has stuck with me for a long time, yet I am not sure I ever really got the why part.

In a recent reading, a man was guided to explore deeper into one of his desires. They walked him through the why. I trusted that this would be a beneficial exercise, but did I really get it yet?

Then, yesterday, a friend says to me, "I really just want to create what's next, yet I feel like I am having to sit and wait and allow it to come."

Immediately, I was reminded that allowing is creating, at least Metaphysically speaking, so I shared that with him. Yet, the more significant guidance was what came next. This is more or less how I heard it.

"Allowing is creating, thus in your allowing, you are creating, yet you still desire the act of creating. What you really desire is the act of expressing more of who you really are. The action that is interpreted as creation is really just expression. Right now, you do not feel as if you are expressing all of yourself, at least not all at once. You express this part of you here and that part of you there. Your desire for a future situation is a desire to express more of yourself."

When I heard this message as it came out of my mouth, I was blown away by how profound it is. As I examined my own desires, in every case I can think of, the desire is the same. I desire expressing more of myself, freely, without fear and without shame.

Somehow, knowing the why behind my desires has eased my judgment of it. In understanding why I desire what I desire, I am beginning to give myself permission to have what I desire.

To quote another divine message received recently, "Our greatest intention and desire for you in this moment is to gain awareness of your self through this reading. With an increase in self awareness, everything in your life will become easier. You will understand why you desire what you desire and then understand this within others. You will also begin to see how you attracted what you see around you and then come to see how it all serves you."

Many blessings to you!
