did you ever think about why you desire? what it means for you to want something? what wanting xyz says about you? why you want it? let’s talk about it!
the reason behind desire.
you have so many, in fact, an infinite amount of realities to choose from to create your own path in life. you are given everything and all at once. but DESIRE is the force that creates YOU. without desire, you would have no sense of self. you can be anything, but what would you be? who would you want to be?
you never want something just because you don’t have it. not because person xyz has it. you want it because that’s who you ARE. because you ARE it. because wanting it says something about your BEING. because wanting it means BECOMING the one who has or is it.
why do you think do you want it? think again, when we manifest a desire, we never manifest the desire alone. we never desire the thing itself. we desire to BECOME the version of ourselves who HAS what we want to have and IS who we want to be. you do it out of love for one of the infinite versions of yourself.
when you choose your desires, you choose a part, a piece of reflection of what YOU stand for. when you choose to go after a desire, that desire isn’t just something many other people would want. there are millions and billions of things on this earth that people desire. but your desires are PERSONAL. they are PRIVATE. they can only ever say and state something about YOU.
you are what you love, you are who you are with. you meet yourself through the people and things in life. the things you consume, consume you… thats why your partner says a lot about who you are, not only because they are you pushed out but because you CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE them. because you DESIRE them.
your desires, the things you desperately wish and want to experience, they all reflect back to you who you are. who you are meant to be. the person you are supposed to embody. the identity you are supposed to take. the same way you are things you don’t want, you are the things you DO want.
you desire it because it’s at the CORE of who you are. it’s because it won’t leave you alone. it may travel from the front to the back of your mind but it will forever linger there. it won’t quit on you, it won’t give up on you. your desires will constantly remind you of who you are.
how do you know who you are? who tells you who you should be? who defines your being? your desires do. go within and think about it. if you had no desires, no urge and no need to have something or be someone, who would you be? what would you want? what would you have? what would you think? what would you wish to think? if consciousness is the origin of life, then desire is the force of creation.
there is no logical explanation for desire. everybody has different desires. some may want this, you may want that… but what’s the reason? what’s the underlying logic? the answer is that there is none. you will never find a response for why you desire because desire is unresolvable. you cannot understand why you want it because it’s who you are. it’s who you want to be. it’s what you want to have.
why you desire is none of your business. none of it matters. the only thing that matters is that you are being you. it’s the most simple thing you can be. it’s the most natural and normal thing for you to be.
the purpose of this post is to make you see and understand that your desires aren’t just little fantasies. they are real, very real. they exist, they are present, they come from within. you don’t desire out of egoism or egocentrism. you desire out of BEING. because your desires mirror yourSELF.
everything is consciousness. your desire stems from the same consciousness, the same piece of mind that created YOU, your current version of self. your desire is made from the same awareness you are made. you desire it because it exists. because infinite realities and therefore infinite states exist. you want it because you can have it. nothing you desire is unattainable, unachievable or unaccomplishable.
stop believing your desires to be something outside of you, to exist outside of your awareness, to not be a part of your being. your desires can only exist because you as EVERYTHING in your reality is a production, a mere reflection of the awareness you chose within. your world is conditioned consciousness in physical form. your outer reality is your awareness embodied.
please, never forget that you are NOT your physical body. you are NOT just your senses. you are MORE than what you can perceive with your eyes, your nose, your ears, your tongue, your body… you are EVERYTHING that exists. you can be found EVERYWHERE. the contents of the world can be traced back to YOUR existence and presence. it’s not your limited, physical body desiring but your limitless, mental body. your inner self.
i know our society is a bit uncool when it comes to following our heart‘s callings but your heart's cravings aren’t supposed to stay within. they aren’t meant to remain imaginary. there is a path between who you are now and who you wish to be and that path is YOU. in fact, you are ALL versions of yourself. you own ALL ways of being yourself. you are EVERYTHING you could ever be.
this is also why i don’t believe in "being delusional" when referring to your desires. no, you are NOT delusional. what an absurd way to belittle not only your desires, but yourself? your very core of being? it’s not delusional for you to aim for the things you want but delusional for others to openly express their mind's limitations and inability to be who THEY want to be. you are not delusional, others just love to project their misery and despair. you may feel so delusional or pretentious for manifesting your desires, but you’re not. in the exact moment you choose to say "this is mine! this is me! this is who i am" you become the most daring version of yourself.
in addition to that, you don’t need to do ANYTHING for your desires. you don’t beed to be worthy of them, be deserving of them, put in tons of effort, put in lots of work, be pretty enough, be smart enough, be good enough,… all you need to do is LET yourself desire it and LET yourself be it. this is crucial because i see so many people (including myself) talk about how to manifest but never about how to be ABLE to manifest. how to ALLOW yourself to manifest.
i'm gonna say it again, your dreams are YOURS. your wishes are YOURS. your desires are YOURS. they shouldn’t make you feel bad, upset or sad about yourself, they shouldn’t torture your mind, they shouldn’t make you feel afraid, they shouldn’t make you feel undeserving of having them, they shouldn’t make you feel ashamed of wanting them, they shouldn’t make you feel ANY negative way about who you are now, about who you were and and you are going to be. therefore, don’t dream small. the world isn’t as big as you think it is. not as scary as you assume it to be. the world is only as big as your mind.
why do you think does it harm you so badly to see other people live your dreams? to feel hurt by the perception of others' success? it's because your inner self aches. because it is in pain. because you know deep down that’s who YOU are meant to be. that’s what YOU are meant and supposed to have.
you will feel nothing but bitter if you ignore your inner voice. you will start to feed yourself with frustration and disappointment because you are consciously dismissing and disregarding who YOU are. you will become desperate and discouraged because you will think "i ought to be this! that should be me! that has to be me!!!". that's why whenever you choose to give up on your desires, you give up on yourself.
don’t listen to others, listen to yourself. listen to your inner voice that tells you what it wants. let yourself guide you. stand up for yourself, defend yourself, protect yourself and what your heart desires. if the room you are in makes you feel uncomfortable, then you create SPACE for yourself. you remove all things and all people who are in your way, who are against your being and who make you feel smaller than you are. don’t make yourself digestible for others. instead, let them CHOKE on you… if that means you can be who you are and desire which you wish to desire.
keep desiring, don't stop or settle.
this is so important, so i urge you to genuinely listen to me. please, KEEP showing up like that. in other words, KEEP WANTING the things you want. for the love of god, BE who you are. let the world know what you like, what you want to have. do not condition your desires, edward art says. do not live in desire, neville goddard says.
don’t suppress, belittle or reduce yourself for the sake of others. don’t give up on who you are because others have. because others desire x, y and z but you desire xyz. if person a wants desire a, that’s who they are. but if you want desire abc that’s who YOU are. don’t deny it, don’t reject it. don’t stop pursing things because of others lack of belief and faith in themselves. others can think they will never get what they want because they have accepted themselves to be THIS version of themselves, even they don’t like being it.
and let me tell you this, when you do NOT let go of your desires, when you decide to KEEP going after them, that entire process alone tells a story about you as well. you chasing your desires is the most eager, courageous, fearless, bravest and strongest thing you can do for yourself. it only proves that you do it out of love, respect and admiration for yourself.
whenever you say YES to your desires, you allow yourself to BE. you give yourself permission to be who you ARE. you let yourself exist and express itself the way it SHOULD do. most importantly, you become aware of your being. your presence. your existence. "yes, i want this desire. yes, this is for me. yes, i can and will have it."
