Today we're talking about consider your desires.
What you really want is peace and joy or love and connection or meaning and purpose or all of these.
The rest of it,
The goals,
The dramas,
The anxieties,
The way things should be,
These are false paths.
They won't take you where you want to go.
Reconsider your desires.
What you really long for may be closer than you think.
The universe.
This is really an interesting idea because we get very stuck or obsessed with or focused on this idea of how things should be,
How we would want them to be,
What would be a more fair way for them to be,
What would be a better way and so we get a little bit future oriented as to how things should be when in reality things are as they are.
In every age and time people have suffered and struggled and worked very hard and been confused.
This is the way it is for humans and where we are trying to go is to transcend that suffering and get to a place where we have peace and joy and meaning and connection and love.
The real things that actually matter to our heart which is where the soul resides.
The things that truly matter are this kind of living in a peaceful benevolence or a peaceful kindness or a peaceful centeredness so that we aren't taken up and down by the drama or we aren't suffering additionally from the struggle.
We come to a place of being in balance or equanimity or being at the center of the circle instead of at the edge howling in the wind.
So when you consider your desires for how you want things to be,
I want to do this,
I want to do that,
I hope it's like this,
I want to make this happen,
Okay those are desires that's fine but remember that what you really want is something at a deeper level.
What you as a soul and also what you as a human want is these deeper feelings,
These deeper unshakable feelings that can't be taken from you.
You know if you have a lot of money that can be taken from you,
If you have good health that can be taken from you,
If you have a relationship that can be taken from you,
All of these things change and are you know always changing.
We can't control that but if you have these deeper openings in your heart those can't be taken away and so a lot of the process of beginning to live as this divine human is to figure out how do we do this,
How do we let go of drama,
How do we let go of what we think we want,
How do we just work with what's here and learn how to find this deeply centered benevolent peace in that space.
Of course it's a journey,
Of course,
Of course it's a journey.
The good news is that is that we are all doing this process together.
We might be at little different places in our in our understanding or experiences but we're all this is the this is the human this is the human journey.
Once we evolve more we're going to be better at it and at this point we're learning how to evolve.
