The Desire Beyond all Desiring

The Unseen One, featureless, unthinkable, undefinable by name, Whose Substance is the certitude of One Self, in Whom world-existence is stilled, Who is al peace and bliss – that is the Self, that is what must be known. – Madukya Upanishad


Often when people materialize things they don’t feel any closer to their God-Self than before the object of desire appeared in their lives. Why? Because this is materialization, not manifestation. It’s subtle, so don’t allow yourself to be confused! What you consistently dwell upon ultimately takes shape as your experience. Consciously or unconsciously, everyone can and does materialize.

In contrast. Manifestation places you in a league with the Divine Spiritual Pattern of who and what you are as a spiritual being. Manifestation is accomplished through a clear realization of oneness with God. It brings in its wake the recognition that God is the desire beyond all desiring. Conscious union with the Spirit bestows the manifestation of all needs met.

Spirit so loves to manifest that It placed Its own Divine Light at the center of your being. At your core, beyond the limiting thought forms you temporarily may have bought into, there is a Divine Blueprint, a spiritual integrity factor. Today, dare to come out of the manifestation mode and enter into manifestation consciousness that is your birthright! In this state of consciousness, you live each moment as an embodiment of the words of Jesus when he said, “Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Then the birds themselves will carry food to your doorstep.
