The Cost of Compromising Desire
There comes a point in the journey of conscious creation where you begin to suspect that many of the limits you perceive are not limits at all.
Which begs the question: if there is no limit, why do we perceive one?
Perhaps an even more important question arises:
If we are truly limitless, then what do I actually want?
Not what seems realistic.
Not what appears available.
Not what my current circumstances suggest.
What do I genuinely desire?
In other words:
Where am I settling in life because I think it is impossible to have, be and do, what I truly want to have, be and do?
I believe that these are the BIG questions we eventually come to ask ourselves as we progress further.
Are we really really really giving ourselves permission to have the very big stuff that our heart (Christ consciousness / Jesus) desires?
Or are we settling because we don’t know how or don’t actually believe it is possible?
Our current awareness often steers us away from our deepest desires.
It tells us what is realistic.
What is likely.
What is available.
What is sensible.
Yet perhaps the very thing we are meant to trust is the desire itself.
Therefore, the only thing we can truly rely upon is our deepest desire to lead the way.
Interestingly, Neville Goddard spoke directly to this in Chapter 7 of Freedom For All, "Desire: The Word of God."
He suggests that our deepest desires contain within them both the plan and the power of their own fulfilment.
Neville says:
“The words of prophecy spoken of in the book of revelation are your basic desires which must not be further conditioned.
Man is constantly adding to and taking from these words not knowing that the basic desire contains the plan and power of expression, man is always compromising and complicating his desire.
Here is an illustration of what man does to the word of prophecy, his desires.
Man desires freedom from his limitation or problem.
The first thing he does after he defines his objective is to condition it upon something else. He begins to speculate on the manner of requiring it.
Not knowing that the thing desired has a way of expression all of its own he starts planning how he’s going to get it thereby adding to the word of God.
If on the other hand he has no plan or conception as to the fulfilment of his desire, then he compromises his desire by modifying it.
He feels that if he will be satisfied with less than his basic desire, then he might have a better chance of realising it. In doing so he takes from the word of God.”
Let us not place further conditions upon our deepest desires.
Let us not negotiate with them.
Let us not reduce them to fit the limitations we currently perceive.
Instead, let us allow ourselves to fully inhabit the wish fulfilled.
To feel it.
To know it.
To become familiar with it.
To embody it.
Because the moment we compromise the desire, we compromise the blueprint.
Yet the moment we embody the desire, something begins to shift.
Not because we forced reality to change.
But because we changed our relationship to what we believed was possible.
Perhaps the greatest act of conscious creation is not learning how to get what you want.
Perhaps it is finally giving yourself permission to want what you truly want.
Then, all that remains is to be.
