Why Wanting Pushes Things Away

Sacred Wyrd #2 - Why Wanting Pushes Things Away

Sacred Wyrd is a living conversation on consciousness, creation, and the unseen threads shaping our lives.

In this talk, we explore how desire can subtly create distance—why grasping tightens the field, and how softening into presence allows what is meant for you to move closer.

There is a subtle tension that lives inside the word want.

Feel it now,

Not as an idea,

But as a sensation.

Wanting leans forward.

It reaches.

It stretches towards something that feels just out of reach.

Wanting says,

Not enough,

Not yet,

Not here,

Not mine,

And the universe listens closely to that signal.

It responds to where you are standing when you ask.

Wanting is also a posture.

So imagine holding a bird too tightly in your hands.

Your grip is hopeful,

But the tighter the grip becomes,

The less space the bird has to stay.

This is how wanting works.

And there's another posture available to you.

Allowing.

Allowing sits back.

It breathes.

It opens its hands and trusts gravity.

Allowing imagines from presence.

Wanting imagines from absence.

The universe moves towards openness like water,

Like wind,

Like seed finding soil.

And when actions come,

It feels obvious.

A step that feels light.

A choice that feels clean.

A movement that feels like relief.

And sometimes the most powerful signal you can send is the quiet confidence of someone who knows they no longer need to reach.
