Moreover, nothing that's done can ever have a lasting effect on feeling, and whatever feeling is evoked by circumstance soon becomes its opposite. The way out of feeling in polarity is to allow the desired feeling irrespective of circumstance.

Present feeling depicts how proximate the vibrational frequency of thoughts come to allowing desired feeling. Awareness of this enables you to discern where thoughts are leading, and to determine which thoughts, if any, you are willing follow.

The conditions of Life are always ideal for your awareness to return to unity with all that you desire; and every circumstance that draws your awareness into separation is another opportunity for transformation and growth through the return to unity.

You seize every such opportunity when you remember your intent to allow all things as they are HereNow, and let your awareness of the breath gently absolve your grip on anything that contradicts your intent.

In this way, the desired feeling can be experienced now, and whatever is done from that feeling becomes an expression of Heaven for your world.

To have your truest desires made manifest, let every concern go, take slow-deep breaths, and allow the spirit that burns within to direct the movement of consciousness (the One Force that creates all worlds) through your individualized perspective.

Conversely, the one who endeavors to manipulate any person (including their self) creates self importance - a mental construct that serves to promote self ignorance.

Whatever is wanted, it’s opposite is also unwanted. Wanted and unwanted are mental polarities with wanted being associated with the feeling of happiness, and unwanted being associated with unhappiness.

Every individual 'want' is a form of God's pure desire for experience. Pure desire springs consistently from the Source of all awareness, is filtered through layers of mind-created self, and is expressed as a unique invitation to allow happiness - whatever that means to the individual at that point in their evolution.

The trouble most people have with desires is attachment to them - which could take the form of either ‘need’ to attain what’s desired, or repression of what’s desired.

Either way, it is the endeavor to gain control over that which is a force beyond control that makes desire feel like dis-ease. This would never be the case if desires were simply allowed, however, allowing is not the nature of mind.

According to individually held beliefs, the fearful mind is programmed to evoke thoughts that resist desire. Based upon what is desired coupled with the degree of resistance offered in response thereto, the mind leads awareness toward manifestations that are mentally calculated to prove that what one has been believing and feeling about their desire is true.

All feeling is emotional, taking form somewhere on the polarity scale between happiness and unhappiness, depending on what's being imagined. Feeling of happiness is attuned with thoughts of the ‘lighter’ vibrational polarity - and feeling of unhappiness is attuned with thoughts of the 'heavier' vibrational polarity.

Feeling is always in direct correlation with what one believes about the desires that arise within their awareness; and to the extent desire is being allowed without judgment, emotion moves automatically toward lightness (happiness); and likewise, to the extent desire is being resisted in thought, emotion moves automatically toward density (unhappiness).

Happiness attained through the energy of separation (fear), such that one mentally manipulates the elevation of their energy by creating a happy feeling based on circumstance, is experienced as shallow, fleeting and insecure  - because it's foundation is really the 'lighter' pole of mental patterns in victim consciousness. This form of happiness, because it's based on circumstance, powerfully attracts manifestations that correlate with the opposing feeling (unhappiness) - the denser pole of victim consciousness.

In ignorance, one uses perception of victimhood as 'reason' to further chase desires or repress them - depending on which they think will create a happy feeling, according to their individually held belief system.  In believing thought that assumes personal desire for enduring happiness can be attained by the mind-created self, one energetically aligns their ‘self’ with fearful thought/feeling, thus reinforcing associated mental/emotional patterns of victim consciousness, and causing their individual experience of those patterns to progressively become more extreme.

In contrast, the wise one knows that what's 'wanted' leads toward experience of enduring happiness, and that every desire is another opportunity to allow thought to be moved in accordance therewith. One seizes such an opportunity by consciously releasing thoughts that contradict their desire, thus allowing the spirit within (the all-knowing aspect) to lift consciousness into states of mind that correlate with feelings of calm happiness.

As states of mind are transcended, emotional polarities become less extreme, and the full spectrum of feeling can be experienced with more clarity and less anxiety.

There is a distinction between chasing desire and allowing it; and understanding this distinction is an important key on the path toward pure being.

"Should" and "should not" are always based on mental perceptions of what we think we are supposed to do in certain situations. While doing exactly what is expected can be the same action that is in our best interest, action that emanates from our connection with Consciousness always serves our purpose.

The mind is programmed to offer thoughts that grip to expected outcomes in exchange for our action, and that is why awareness must be a CONSISTENT practice in order to be effective. When we think in terms of "should" and "should not, we create attachment to our desires - which detracts from the pure Joy experienced when action is offered as its own reward.

Attachment is delusion, and due to our worldly conditioning, we are naturally attuned to the patterns of mind that keep us bound to delusion through ego identification. Being in the present moment means acting in innocence, without the expectation that we will achieve any particular outcome as a result of our efforts.

By remembering that the journey is the destination, we may be reminded that how we feel Now is our prayer for the future that is always being created Now. Through attentiveness to our own thoughts and feelings and consistently directing our attention back to Now, we develop the overview necessary to more easily determine where we are gripping, and the trust necessary to surrender to the present moment.

Desire and even our Attachment to Desire is not a hinderance to spiritual development.  Our experience of desire is the call of Source summoning us to evolve our awareness toward greater understanding of Self; and while Attachment to Desire is what keep us bound to delusion, resisting anything is in itself a form of Attachment - which can only perpetuate our delusion. However, both Attachment and Desire are inherent to the human experience, and they evoke inner guidance in the form of emotion. (See Every Emotion has Meaning for more on "emotion")

If we are spending our energy trying to avoid or deny either Desire or Attachment, we are laboriously creating more of both as our awareness is buried more deeply in the delusion of mind. However, when we understand, embrace and enjoy both Desire and our Attachment to it (and all delusion for that matter), we return to being present automatically, and gain deeper understanding thereby.

We can only be damned or blessed through the perception of the mind. By minding the mind, we develop the ability to discern which thoughts keep us directed toward the center - where blessings abound and peace prevails.

It has coincided perfectly with the thought required to create the current reality where humans hold varied statuses and societal rank, and seek to rule one another.

Now consciousness is evolving toward creating a reality that is a much clearer expression of our true essence. We're positive that you will like it.

Every path leads to realization of Self, but when we release mental habits and limitations, the journey is far more splendid. Your current beliefs are a manifestation of your desire to experience wholeness. When the veil is lifted, that desire will be fulfilled. 

But for the moment, hang on to what you feel the need to, and enjoy the ride.
