Desire for Love
We are not of our nature solitary creatures. When we feel lonely and make declarations of how we don’t need anyone, that isn’t about people. It’s about ourselves. We feel frustrated, so we try to deny that we have worth. In a perverse way it’s a tactic for putting ourselves on the side of those…

Child’s Desire
Nature can be a good parent, but nature can’t help us discover human nature very well. That’s supposed to be our human parents’ job. Nature also teaches us to respect life in general if we are receptive, and in general we were when we were happy. When we were happy there wasn’t any elsewhere or…

Desire to Express
I am often surprised at how dualistic peoples minds are; love this, hate that, this is good, that is bad, this is spiritual, that is dirty. There are creeds today that though they profess to espouse unity, encourage us to deny/ignore/reject parts of our being. A lot gets lumped in under ego, but ego is…

Desire for Sex
We villainize our desires like lust. Let’s say I’m very sexually driven. How does me seeking sexual gratification take anything from anyone? It may make me very attentive to my partner. They say the two biggest things that ruin marriages are these, and in this order: sex and money. Now I’m speaking to the ladies. …

Process Of Desire
Why do we have problems? Seems sort of mysterious, huh? I want the wrong things or I don’t know what I want? You don’t know what you want. True will, actual desire, the real substance of the human mind, is buried beneath peoples “perception.” They do not see. They say “I see.” Their eye sees…

Form Of Desire
Is it not me that tells me when something is wrong? Such as taking a life? No. It’s not “you”, not the “I.” I can think about killing, but have no desire to actually do so. Yes. Your perception can be on killing and then it will go off, because in dramatic situations the inner…

Work From Desire
You don’t have to ignore anything, quite the contrary, just choose. Have you ever really been burdened by a choice? Only because you have an idea of “should”, otherwise you work from desire. Does desire care for what you should? Only for shampoo at the drugstore. I have to get the perfect one you know.…

Desire to Reject
Let’s look at the individual. We don’t generally want to subsume ourselves in the social system, just like heart muscle cells don’t normally volunteer for digestion. It’s a constant struggle between socialization and individuality. That is the problem, struggle. It can even lead to the equivalent of the social cancer tumor, something forcing itself into a…

Being Built of Desire
Life without motivation, could we call it life? Even bacteria have a raw will to live. Lack of motivation is pretty much the definition of dead I’d say. We have motivation even when we don’t experience “motivation” on a conscious level. This is why we experience things like hunger and thirst. We don’t have to mentally…

Gain Control of Desire and Thought
People are not conscious of their conscious minds. Their conscious minds move like a restless sleeper in bed, and their conscious thought really in no functional way differs from dream. Different medium, same content. Where one can gain control of desire and thought is in the understanding of what thought is, imagination. You live in…

You Are Desire
The secret behind mastering purple magick is the under- standing that you don’t do desire. It’s not something that happens to you either. You are desire. Can you desire something you have never seen? For most people no, not in their experience. But actually, yes you can. That’s the deep mystery behind purple magick. The…

Have a Handle on Desire Force
Well, perhaps an alternative. Take all these ideas with a grain of salt if that is what seems appropriate, but imagine a movement of individuals who all fully understand and have a handle on their desire force. Each deliberately designs their own desire in such a way as to support the intention expressed by their…

Views of Desire/Distress
Life is driven by desire. It could be argued to be the single most formative influence in the natural world as well as the artificial world that humanity has made for itself. You would think we would have a handle on such a fundamental aspect of human experience, no? Part of why we lack understanding…

Desire and Intention
I need to start with questions so we can begin with an agreement of terms. This is necessary to have a fruitful talk of this sort on desire and intention. So to start with, what is desire? Being drawn to something. Something you feel that you want or need. And what is intention? A goal…
