Real Desires of the Heart

Where do real desires come from? Although the Absolute doesn't need anything, desire occurs because that is the way the Creator expresses Self. Desire is a thought. Thinking causes action and eventually there is a result. It is impossible for the human mind to see or comprehend the Absolute but we can grasp the meaning of desires.

Looking at a desire of the heart as an idea implanted in our mind from a higher power is one way of understanding the Divine Self or the Absolute. This is how the Sublime Mind, the Creator, manifests purpose in matter. Pure desires, desires that encourage and build consciousness are actually coming forth from the will of God and expressing through us. If the pure desire comes from the One Source by its very nature it will be fulfilled.

Now isn't it possible that as we become more God focused and balanced that our desires would be of a like minded energy? If so, wouldn't our selfless desire be filled with the Divine Life Substance, a pure consciousness? We would be able to create thought forms that will solidify into a material form. In that case, the visible and tangible form created by our desire would be a living essence of the Divine.

God's Idea

Do you ever think about the results of God's idea? God's Idea of creating matter and then thinking it into perfection is responsible for all life and everything existing animate or inanimate. Of course, the grand Idea has gone through many stages and still is. The sweet part of this great drama is that we, too, can create by thinking anything we desire into an actual manifestation.

For an Absolute One Intelligence, an indescribable cosmic consciousness, to picture in Mind a real Earth, an actual physical place where It's perfection can express and be a reality in matter is mind blowing when we take the time to really think about the Cause, the Reason and the Potential. How does such a magnificent Will express powers of Its Divine Nature? You have heard of angels of Light and living masters and messengers of God's Will. And then, there is humanity who is categorized as the Word made flesh. The real earth and the real intelligence in man only becomes a visible, tangible reality when the higher Love is activated within us. When the Divine Creative Power is generated through an intense desire and passionate love for perfection in humans and life itself, we begin to experience the results of the original cosmic Idea.

Since God Consciousness is the inner essence of all Space and all Life, we really do have hope don't we? Our job is to awaken and accept this fact. When we do, the God Consciousness, Reality, begins to express constantly in our everyday lives. BE-ing is expressing or out-pressing. After I had written my latest book, I could not decide on a title for it. All of a sudden, I heard a loud and strong voice from the invisible realms say with authority, "BE". Be what? Be who we really are

The Divine Idea

If we really think about our thoughts, we realize that they become seeds. The seeds mature and eventually become symbols in matter. When we look at the process of manifestation in matter, everything began as an idea seed. This line of thinking indicates that all inanimate and animate life once was an idea in mind. Ideas are latent and remain unmanifest until we think or speak them into some form or another.

An idea created the invisible world of Light and subtle form. Another idea created the universe of matter. Another idea created nature and the kingdoms until you and I were manifested. Everything on earth could not have existed if it wasn't first an idea of an Absolute Intelligence that is impossible to describe. I believe that as we unfold like the thousand petalled lotus the ideas of the Supreme Spirit, God, will more grandly express through us.

Since humankind is not fully awakened mentally and spiritually, the idea remains only partially revealed. So, we could say that the Grand Idea of the One Power is now in the process of unfoldment in matter. The eventual goal is for us to be consciously aware of the complete idea behind creation. When we are fully aware, we can obviously be a ideal medium for perfection and beauty. The Light of God will shine through our flesh, our thoughts, words and actions. The Grand Idea of our Creator will eventually evolve through everything. This will occur when the ego-personality does not allow anything or anyone to hinder the process of the One Power and One Presence fully manifesting in matter. This is what I believe is the purpose of our creation....to be the Divine Love, Wisdom, Life and Perfection right now in form.

Who is the Planter?

Where do the ideas in your head come from? Through personal experience, I know that some of them are planted by friends on the other side. Of course, the entity could also be a mischief maker. This past week I had a very good friend who physically died in November put a thought in my mind to visit a store a half an hour away from my home. It didn't make sense because a new store of that same company is only 7 minutes away from where I live. Because I knew the thought was contrary to my own commonsense, I decided to check it out. I walked slowly up and down the aisles of the distant store knowing that there was a reason I must be there. After I checked out the few things purchased, I turned around and at the far register a woman was checking out who I had not seen in years. I also knew that she was the one who I was sent to see. It turned out that this woman was a long ago friend who had a close association with my friend who died last month. I waited for her to finish and went to her and shared the fact of our friend's departure. She had not known and was very grateful.

This is only one type of seed that is planted in thought by another influential energy. Our own higher Self will plant ideas in our physical brain that It would like to see manifest in our body, mind and intellect. The ideas will ripen and manifest if we will let them. Once we awaken to the idea that our own higher Self is fully capable of planting productive ideas in our brain, we are able to harvest the wisdom that is planted.

I am well aware that we sometimes have difficulty discerning if it is the human thinking and desiring or is it a higher source who has a grander view of what is good for us or what action needs to be taken. When you think about scripture, you will remember that God's Word is referred to as occuring in the beginning. All things were made by him. Wouldn't it benefit us to learn how God's Word translated is the word that comes frequently from our higher Self, which is an extension of the sacred energy into form?

Start with a Good Idea

How do we get an idea to materialize? How do we attract, direct, shape and mold conditions, things, events and yes, ourselves? Change begins with a good idea. We need to really focus and think about the idea. Included in the focus is a strong desire. When we speak about the desire, it gives the idea a greater energy. The idea will eventually become a visible manifestation.

Look back in your mind about how you have already proven this line of creative process. Literally, everything we have thought deeply about manifests some point along the way. Now, imagine if you really believed that you are the Absolute One, God, The Great Spirit using a part of Itself in your body, mind and soul, there would be no doubt, limitation or fear. If this fact became your living truth, you could do about anything. The key is in allowing the inner voice, the true wisdom, to direct your thinking and your desires. Let the presence within who certainly knows more about you and your thinking conscious mind be in charge.

According to mysticism, it is not man who does the thinking. It is the higher Self, the spirit of man, who thinks through his organism. Well, you are probably puzzled because you know your thoughts are not always loving or lofty ones. Each one of us is a watered down version of the One Power and Presence. How we express ourselves is totally dependent on how much we are aware of the Real One Power and Presence and listen to its guidance. In other words, the individual must be awakened to a realization that there is a Selfless, Wise and Loving power who is the real Thinker within and not only the selfish ego who has troubles and is confused. Once we 'get it', we will deliberately develop a body and mind strong and clean and capable enough to express the higher Self perfectly. It is then that we magically create the desires of the heart.

Thinking and Creating

Who do you think is doing the thinking and creating? The mystics emphatically state that the lower nature, the human part of us, does not do the thinking. The ego doesn't because most human thinking is not in the correct sense of the word actually conscious thinking. Consciously thinking is the key. This is a contradiction to what is judged normal. Our thinking is referred to as unconscious thinking because the typical human is unaware of the presence of Absolute Intelligence, the Divine Energy within himself.

Scripture states that we are the image and likeness of God. Because the divine energy is our true identity, we actually already have all the faculties and power available for our use. The problem is our being oblivious to the fact that we are usually involved in error-thinking. How many humans actually understand that the mis-thinking or sense of separation from the One Power and Presence has drawn us away in consciousness from the reality of who we really are?

Mortal consciousness thinks and believes it is doing everything on its own. This is only an appearance. One of the purposes of the Divine within us is to fulfill the law of creating. A thing seems real to us, good or bad, because we are thinking or believing it is so. Other people may see a situation in an entirely different way.
How can we do real thinking? How can we bring about change and stop being fooled by appearances?

Focal Center of Consciousness

Many of us realize that the Divine Self, the real us, is our personal version,a watered down consciousness. It doesn't need to remain in a weakened state controlled by human misconceptions. We have also been told that each cell in our body has a consciousness and an intelligence of its own. We can only continue existing or working intelligently through the activity of this higher Intelligence. So, who is the directing intelligence whether it is done consciously or unconsciously?

Who is this Intelligence? Most of us take for granted the gloriously constructed physical body we call our own. As a human, we can respect and honor our body by feeding and caring for it with good choices. We cannot as humans consciously direct or control a single cell of our body unless we enter into the consciousness of the Immortal Spirit Identity who we eternally are and have forgotten. Disease and death exist because people have not connected to the higher Self to the degree where the lower and higher nature work together as a team.

Cell consciousness is common to every body in matter regardless of size or form. Within any body is a consciousness that is a builder and entirely Impersonal. Within the Impersonal is a consciousness, an intelligence and a will. It is this same directing Impersonal Consciousness, intelligence and will that exists in all life. Understanding this truth, we realize what oneness really means. The Impersonal Absolute Energy and the personal spirit energy that we refer to as our higher Self cannot be separated except through ignorant thought.
