What do you truly want?

Notice how wants and desires arise from birth. A separate sense of self is born. This is not itself an issue. This is not meant to be a substitution for the divine being within. Notice whatever you give attention to grows. So, it is believing in separateness that gives rise to whatever you allow to hijack your focus.  All-the-while, the truth never moves.  Ask yourself what this moment feels like without all the wants and desires.

Step back from what gives life to your story, from what evokes emotions in your direct experience. Notice they grow stronger grounded in perceived time (past and future), a sense of suffering, loss or lack that seems to exist. What is the underlying message? What peers through?The only things that can change are mind and how it experiences. The perceiver of all is forever present. What is wanted beyond ego and desire?

Beyond that exists the imagined ideal, that which is intuited as perfect freedom. An image of unconditional love jumps into mind until it is known you are this.  Awareness does not exert effort to rid you of your thoughts. What you are does not believe in thought.  Notice how you speak of or view "you" and awareness or that which has no form. Are they not one? Look deeper. Notice what you really want and what you really are is always here. What direct experience is the living question you continue to seek?

Hi Liara. Very inspired post today.

I think when all is stripped away, all desires, perceived lack, all ego, I think that creating remains. The process of creating, not so much the creation. Being lost in the wonder of sculpting things that did not exist before.

What peers through is being in the moment.

Liara, you’re reminding me that perfect freedom is found in living Unconditional Love. "...it is believing in separateness that gives rise to whatever you allow to hijack your focus. All-the-while, the truth never moves. Ask yourself what this moment feels like without all the wants and desires."

It can be said then that any wanting is the desire to align with that which is True. People crave and search for the Truth out there..... but the truth can not be found since it is not lost. Therefore, one way back into truth is to examine one's wants and supposed needs and cravings. Feel deep inside where this urge comes from. When one finds the insertion point for any urge, one reconnects and surges with the Truth and that which never changes.

Liara this is such an important realization in my opinion, to know that whatever we give our attention to grows. We are creating our life, and our self as we go. When done from an unconscious state, this can lead to perceiving life as if things are happening to us, and yet when we began to see it from a conscious state, we begin to realize that we are creating all that we see and have as we go.

You last question is leading me into a moment of reflection, and so I will not use any words at this time to answer it, but rather simply be with it.

Thank you for your always thought-provoking posts :)

Jannie, its interesting to do a quick survey of passers by and ask each one what he really wants. What stands out is initially material then immaterial, right down to the simple things money does not buy and words do not describe. This reminds you that at any given moment, you decide what has the most value to you. What the ego imagines is forever changing and what the heart knows about innocent, genuine or true nature is unchanging.

Julie, some people assume their most memorable moments have to be uncomfortable. Your comment invites stepping back and seeing the choice to notice the message of love in everything. This is not something you feel or do not feel. It is that which you are, forever present, being and expanding.

Bern, the ego mind mind would like you to think you have something to do, somewhere to go or something to become. The heart speaks for itself. As you listen deeply to heart, something draws you into the timeless embrace of an angels' wings. As you awaken to see the wings are your own and you are that cosmic angel with an open heart, what matters overflows. You are what matters. Everything perceived outside the human points lovingly inward to being.

Evita, silence is a timeless teacher that invites you to come into your own.
