What Is The Nature Of Desire?
   

“If Wishes Were Fishes…” or The Nature of Desire

“If wishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets in the sea.” Eric Bogle, Scottish Folk Singer

It is the Universe’s nature to grant all our wishes. More, it is its greatest joy to give us all that we desire. As a matter of fact, the Universe is already giving you everything you want – or at least what it believes you want. For wishes are fishes and we are always casting nets into the sea. Truly, you’re never NOT doing it.

So manifesting all your heart’s desires becomes but a matter of clearly communicating them to the Source of their fulfillment, and fortunately it’s incredibly easy.

When you imagine something you desire – something you want to have or an outcome to a situation, for example – the essence of that desire is emitted to the Universe in the form of vibrations. Every desire has its own unique vibration (or vibrational field). It is this field the Universe reads. What you must understand though, is that it’s the same when you imagine something undesirable, like a worry or a fear.

And when the Universe receives these vibrations, good or bad, it interprets them not only as information but as a flat out request or, if you prefer, a wish. That’s right: the act of desiring something is the same as the act of asking for it. In fact, once the Universe knows what you want the process of bringing it to you has already begun.

You need waste not a moment more worrying about how to ask for what you want. There are no magic words. You need no words at all. The asking is inherent in the wanting, or rather in the focus of your attention.

That means – and this is as liberating as it is foreboding – whatever you focus on is what the Universe interprets as a desire you wish to have granted. Clear communicating your true desires to the Universe, then, is no more than a matter of focusing on the desire itself, as opposed to its lack or absence.

Have you ever had the experience of knowing exactly what you didn’t want only to find that that was exactly what you got? Or you were very clear about what you didn’t want to happen and that’s just what did? It’s a common phenomenon, and easily avoidable.

So many desires are thwarted by a simple and fundamental misunderstanding of this one key element of the Law of Attraction: that it does not function in negatives, which is to say that it can’t NOT do something. It cannot NOT attract something to you.

In other words, it doesn’t understand you when you say you don’t want to be in a dysfunctional relationship. It only understands the vibrational energy of a dysfunctional relationship. It doesn’t know what you mean when you say you don’t want to be drowning in debt anymore. It only receives the vibrational image of you drowning in debt. It “thinks” these things that you know you don’t want are actually things you do want, because you’re focusing on them.

Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as making it: take out the negative. Focus on what you do want, not what you don’t. Instead of focusing on the dysfunctional relationship you don’t want, focus instead on the relationship you do want: loving, trusting, empowering, fulfilling. And instead of focus on how sick and tired you are of being poor, focus on the alternative: what it would feel like to finally have your finances under control.

The more you focus on the things, situations, and feelings you desire rather than those problems, circumstances and emotions you want changed, the more your life will start taking the shape you’ve always wanted it to.
