Achieve Your Desires By Detaching From Them First

Desires exist beyond yourself. You didn’t choose your desires. They were given to you from outside yourself. Desire is the fuel external reality runs on. It’s the reason for all experience.  There’s so much obsession over desires, but desire itself plays a cruel trick on us. The more we thirst for our desires the more seemingly distant they become.

Fortunately, there is a great way to bring them closer and it’s not by chasing after them. Desires have their own essence and energetic natures. A desire becomes fulfilled when we’ve aligned our own essence to match the specific energetic nature of specific desire. To achieve your desires, you must first detach from them. 

To be attached to a desire is to repel it. A thirsty desert traveler will hallucinate an oasis and hurry toward it only to discover more desert.  When we thirst after our desires we become deluded and disoriented. In this state, it’s easy to mistake a sand dune for an oasis. Among practitioners hopeful to manifest their desires, again and again I see thirst lead to poor decisions, lack of discipline, and wishful thinking.

The beauty of detaching from your desires before even attempting to attract them is to rearrange the power dynamic. When you elevate your desires, you give them power and make yourself feeble and needy by comparison. When we detach from our desires, the opposite happens. We become more powerful and in control. We project that energetic resonance that is above that which we desire. In this state, our desires find us. We needn’t even look for them. They seek us out. 

I’ve seen this so many times at this point I have to consider it just a fact of this sort of work. The rich get richer may be the reality of the financial economy, but it is also at play in the spiritual realm. The spiritually rich become richer on a energetic level because they are the most fulfilled. Assuming your desires are positive, their own energetic nature is to seek like recipients. Like begets like.  The detached, elevated practitioner aligned with divine essence attracts their desires through their nature alone.

There is a famous Bible quotation: “For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance. But from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.”

This law of nature has been understood by sages for thousands of years. This doesn’t mean you must have material abundance to reach your desires. Material wealth is irrelevant here. Instead, you should be so attuned with fundamental divine nature that abundance finds you. External abundance (in all it’s forms) runs downstream from internal abundance and a mindset of growth. This is because internal reality is the higher reality. As it is within, so it is without.

Instead of thirsting for external desires, you should seek to build up your internal reality. This must start with detachment from the ego. Break down the false self that worships the external and by doing so your internal reality grows richer and becomes clearer.

Many people on this path understand that inner reality generates outer reality. It is easy to repeat this idea, but truly incorporating it is another matter all together. The difference between high level practitioners and those spinning wheels is that the former behaves as if this is absolutely the case.

When you take this leap of faith, the whole world changes.  When you finally detach from external desires and find fulfillment within, the external desires you seek will move mountains to meet you. Desires are meant to seek you out. You should go within and become worthy of being sought. What I see with each seeker who accomplishes this is something a akin to near total transformation to varying degrees. It is always a great joy to see in those I’ve worked with.

On the other side of this transformation, desires you once held the highest esteem become much less significant. Not less great and enjoyable, but less significant. They become so much less significant because they are suddenly within reach. What can be easy attained loses some of its allure by default. On the deep-end of this transformation, you become the desire. The things you once desired instead began to desire you. Will they make themselves worthy?
