When listening to a mediation series by Deepak Chopra, he touched on a subject very interesting so I decided to expand my thoughts on the process of desire.  There are three key tenants to moving forward through desire: Creating the Desire; Expressing the desire, and it being Returned.

Creating the desire

Creating desire is about acknowledging what you want. It is intentional. It is focused. It reflects the essence of who you are. Although it may not always be on the top of your mind. You may want to drive safely, but through years of condition, it isn’t at the forefront of your mind. The desire was created and now it is part of you.

Expressing the Desire

In order to have an effective desire is predicated on believe that it will be returned. If you don’t believe it will be returned, you won’t express the desire. Expressing the desire tells the universe what you want. Many people don’t believe we should ask for the things that we should desire. Others don’t think that God will give them to us.

Deepak Chopra gave an example of asking a waiter for a glass of water. You ask for the drink of water because you expect it to be given to you. You know you are in an establishment where the goal is to give you what you want. Is not the universe the same? God wants to give you your desires. He wants to see you happy and nourished. Expressing the desire is the pivotal point in the process.  Have enough faith to believe that your desire will be heard.

Desire being returned

Sometimes your desire is returned with the answer of no, not yet, or I have something better.  Other times it returns and the answer is yes.  You need to be able to realize the answer and know how to distinguish. Situations may occur when your desire is returned to you and you may not know it. This can be due to thinking that you can not have that desire. For example, if I am not used to loving and now am receiving love, I may not know how to act or react to it as the concept is foreign to me. That is when God uses others to show you how.
