Passion & Desire

Dear Reader

If you are here in search of finding your passion, look no further. Before you continue I must request that you make a vow. A vow to be completely and brutally and compassionately honest with yourself. And secondly to not limit your desires.

As we proceed through the following steps you will find a deep understanding about who or more specifically what you are and most importantly you will discover what you have come to earth to do. In other words, brace yourself to discover your ultimate purpose.

Before I outline the steps to discovering your purpose, there are a few concepts that need to be understood and a few misbeliefs that need to be unlearnt. The first concept is Desire. Desire is often portrayed in an extremely negative perspective. People are often encouraged to abandon all desire in pursuit of living righteously. Desire means a "strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen." Feelings are how our souls communicate with us, sometimes called intuition. A strong negative feeling gives rise to the desire of the opposite feeling. Strong positive feelings show us our desires directly. Our desires are not created by our environments or the experiences we encounter. Our true desires exist within us from before we incarnate onto this earth. Our environments and the experiences we face are in fact shaped by these desires and communicated to us through our feelings. Many people suppress negative emotions as they are uncomfortable nevertheless they provide great insight into what we have come here to do. They align us with our purpose. Desire must not be confused with lust and temptation. Lust and temptation are creations of the ego. To distinguish between true desire and egoic desire, you must step out of both situations and become the observer. An egoic "desire" or "temptation" will feel rushed, uncertain and urgent. A true desire from the soul communicated through the heart which represents the emotional body, will be accompanied with fulfillment, inspiration, certainty, excitement and joy.

Next, you must understand the difference between a passion and a goal. Passions are state of being, having and doing. Goals are focused on specific outcomes. For example, it is a passion to want to be healthy and fit, it is a goal to follow a diet and exercise programme.

We may now proceed to uncovering the mystery of your unique and wonderful purpose. First you must be clear on your intention. This sounds simple but is the longest and most important part of the process.. clear intention based on pure desires discovered after deep inner work is the intention of this exercise.

1. Make a list of 11 or more desires. When searching for these desires, instead of trying to answer them, be still and observe the answers that come up. You will have to Quiet your mind in order to be able to listen to your spirit. The desire could begin as a feeling, physical, then emotional, and if you continue to observe it attentively, it will transform into something that will allow you to know its nature. This could be a thought, an image, a memory, etc. If you have trouble with approaching your desires, I have composed a list of possibilities in the following link, which you may read through and use which resonates with you and brings you feelings of Joy. Another good activity to discover your desires is to make a list of all your fears and then research the opposite. Also, remember a desire in terms of passion is in the form of being, doing and having. Be careful not to put goals.

2. Once your list is complete, prioritize them according to importance by process of elimination. Do not skip this step. By focusing your energy on what you want, by physically doing these processes you are assisting your brain in prioritizing and organizing itself based on what is important for you to manifest in your life. You are now the Captain of the ship.

3. The last and final step is sometimes the most difficult. Also seemingly easy but for it to be true, it must be sincere. This is when you let go and trust. This means that no matter how impossible it seems, you must not have doubt. That means you must not question how it will happen. You must know that it is already there. As if you got to write your own future.. wink wink. And now the path will form according to what it has been directed to. Your ideas and inspiration will align with all that will bring you passions into the physical. Now your state of being must match that of Receiving. Turn on your wifi and connect to God. When you think of the list, automatically go to visualizing and imagining yourself having being or doing whatever it is you have written. Every time you visualize it and embody the feelings of it, the waiting period shortens. Also, find peace in the present moment. It Is just as beautiful as any. Gratitude also shortens the waiting period.

You will know what to do, it will be your joy. Follow that!

Wishing you Luck on your Journey.
