What is Desire?

Excerpts from the “Paths to Power”:

Desire is Love’s message to your conscious self, advising what is yours to claim and to possess.

To attain what you want, you must first, in the silence, learn if it is simply an idle wish or a spiritual desire of the soul. It will be told us as we wait; and, if a real desire, it will prove itself such from within.

Recognizing that, we know it is God’s message of promise; then our work begins.

Having a definite purpose in view, you first should image yourself as having already reached the height you would. Sit down in the silence; and over and over again sketch mentally the picture, till you can instantly call it to mind and see it clear with all its perfect shadings.

This is the preliminary work or drill. Use thought only to sketch clearly the picture at first, that is, don’t anxiously question as to how you will get the material to paint it, or where you will procure the canvas on which it will rest. Your first task is to see yourself as you would make yourself.

Longing or wantonly desiring something better than one possesses, and blindly seeking paths to the unknown and unimaged, means merely that the individual is trying to get away from something he dislikes. He then is seeking paths that lead from a place or so-called environment, that is all. He is trying to free himself from something – that is aimless.

Our ideals are goals that are shown us from infinite energy by spirit guides who are its instruments to lift us to the place we aspire to. Desire points to the attainable.

Let others call you a dreamer if they will, but still idealize and intensify that dream. Dream, but do not idly dream – intellect, judgment, hands, and feet are your instruments to use as aids to the attainable heights.

You are seeking only what Creative Intelligence gave you ages and ages ago. You are not seeking what does not belong to you, nor what it is impossible for you to gain except by payment of wearisome labor. No, you are only asking to know how to take the Almighty’s free gift to you.
