In the Moment of Desire
December 31, 2006
It is New Year’s Eve and I just received an email from
Angela (New Times Managing Editor) stating that she is still accepting articles
for the theme of “Desire” for the February issue. At first I didn’t think I had anything to
share. Also, I had already made plans
for my morning and felt I needed to ‘stick to them.’
You see I have a desire to make some new mediation
CD’s. This morning I planned to write
the introductory script. Then I received Angela’s email. What to do?
You see, every time I sit down to work on my meditation CD’s or plan to
take the next step in this desire, something seems to take my attention or draw
me to another project. This morning is
no exception, as you can well see.
So, what happens when our desires seem to sit there in
front of us ~ staring back at us like a child patiently waiting for us to take
her to the zoo? We have told her a 1,000
times - “Yes we are going!” yet we have not made a move toward the door. By now the child has moved through the
excitement of going, the disappointment of waiting, and is patiently sitting
with shoes and socks on, ready to walk out the door as soon as we grab the car
keys. That is how I see my meditation CD
project. As soon as the rest of me is
ready, as soon as all the energies align, it will take off in the every present
now moment!
Because I know the desire to create these CD’s is an
expression of my Spirit, my expression of Source, I trust that it will be
created in perfect timing. I also trust
that these ‘alternate paths,’ which seem to come my way when I am ready to work
on the project, are all part of the plan.
I trust that these projects take me to another level that will allow my
CD to be an even higher expression of my love, peace, joy, my light as Spirit
and therefore take on the energies to bless others in higher way.
I believe most people by now would have looked at
these alternative projects as ‘obstacles’ and said something like, “Well, I
guess I wasn’t supposed to do that. This
is God’s way of showing me I should let that idea go.” I believe that in some cases this is true and
our intuition will show us the way. In
this case, I feel it is making the desire stronger and the final result will be
even better than before. Being in the moment with my desire to create, I can
feel all of the supporting energies and new awareness as I come closer to
birthing this project.
There is another group of people who might see
procrastination around this desire. This
comes from a myriad of reasons. What
will others think? What if I fail? What if I spend all this time and energy and
it doesn’t work? How will I make the extra time to work on it? How will I get the money? What if I get it right? How will I deal with all the _________? Fear sets in and the wheels of motion are
stalled. You lose the fire of your desire and the results never come to
fruition. The ever present, now moment releases us from all these fears and
judgments. All I have to do is be open in this moment for ‘what is next.’ Then all my desires will materialize with
ease ~ little effort and great joy.
I also know that others would be numb to their desire
by now. They would envision it as
something that sits in the back room of their consciousness, dieing on the
vine, never realizing its full potential.
They would reflect on it as a missed opportunity, sharing with friends
and family over lunch about how good it could have been. They relish the idea of the desire, but never
actualize it. The more they do not
express their passions and desires, the more numb they
become to their infinite potential. The
power to ignite your desire is in the present moment allowing the passion of
your energy to fuel your desire into creation.
Feel it! Dance with it! Enjoy!
I share all of this with you so that you have the
opportunity to witness a possible reason or greater plan as to why your desire
has not materialized yet. I invite you to sit and be with your desire
in the now moment. Move out of the
mental analysis and judgment. BE with it
from the perspective of Spirit and sit with it in your heart. Have you held it for a long time? Does it really sing to the authenticity of
your Spirit? Has it taken a different
form, become more refined in your vision?
Do you still feel excited about it?
If so, continue on with your desire.
If not, let it go with joy.
Remember your desire is your expression of Source as
love, as creator on Earth. Your desire
is perfect in and of itself as there is only one you on this Earth… Your
creation is a gift to us all!
Namaste & Enjoy Life!
