As I have illustrated in the below image,
to desire is to separate oneself from what one doesn't desire, for example,
material or spiritual wealth is desired over being poor or non-spiritual.
Within this process, we have either knowingly or inadvertently separated
ourselves from an undesirable.
What this is saying in regards to spiritual
wealth, is we shouldn't desire to take or obtain/acquire spiritual wealth. Yes,
material wealth is always taken or obtained/acquired, this is the only way to
obtain this kind of wealth, but spiritual wealth should be acquired void of
desire. The reason for this lies in that any desire of spiritual wealth negates
spiritual wealth within its own actions, this is because spiritual wealth is
the culmination of everything, not an anticlimax in regards to everything.
Spiritual wealth can only be acquired, a
true sense of spiritual wealth isn't even obtained, it's simply acquired.
Obtaining refers to seeking. To seek one must have a desire in what one is
seeking, one can't seek void of desire, seeking is simply desiring. Acquiring
spiritual wealth is allowing the wealth to come to you, not you going to it.
To seek out any wealth is exactly like
seeking material wealth; it's all based on desire.
So
if we meditate or shut ourselves off from all human distractions, like through
being a hermit for example, is this not based on a desire to obtain a higher degree
of spiritual wealth?
All what one is doing when shutting oneself
off from human distractions, is to allow the life force of wealth to come to
you, you are not seeking, you are simply allowing this wealth to come to you
void of as many desiring distractions as possible. You are also allowing
everything to be as one void of separation, this is spiritual wealth. It's not
spiritual wealth when taken or obtained through desires.
Human consciousness desires, spiritual
consciousness doesn't, for the only wealth that is truly of wealth is spiritual
wealth and that comes free of charge to everyone. In a true sense, wealth taken
or obtained through desires isn't a true sense of wealth for it is finite in
nature; it's limited to the desires desired. The reason for desires being
limited is simply due to desires naturally separate one from the
other, in turn, limiting ourselves to what we have separated ourselves from.
It came to me recently that multinationals have
no true wealth, for all wealth has to be taken or obtained. Imagine not having
to take or obtain wealth, having wealth given to you freely through free will. Any
wealth obtained through desires isn't given freely or by free will, it's taken
or obtained through various means.
Finally getting back to this post again
after a couple of days, I have had some interesting times recently which I am
thinking of talking about in a video, maybe. As of our dreams that can be three
dimensional, the three dimensional mind relates better to a three dimensional videos than to two dimensional writings. It's important to awaken the three
dimensional mind to other dimensional aspects, even through three dimensional
means. Comprehension and then understanding!!
Getting back to the main topic, so it would seem that
we shouldn't desire!!
Not at all, being of human consciousness is
of desires; this is one of the traits that make human consciousness human. What
I am saying is, moderate our desires so they don't become a major part of our
lives so we are able to acquire spiritual wealth. Desires simply erode away our
ability to acquire spiritual wealth, the more desires our lives are based on,
the less chance of acquiring a true sense of spiritual wealth.
Imagine being of love void of having to
first feel love!! Of course love isn't just of love; a true sense of love is
based on a true sense of acceptance, compassion, a balanced mentality and so
on. Love is not the be and end all, this is desire/lust, everything as one is,
this is why this state has no labels. The trick is, be love, which basically
means observe love void of being predominately a participator of love while
being also aware that all participation is based on desire; it's really this
simple.....
While we are predominantly being a
participator, acquiring a true sense of spiritual wealth will always elude us
or be hard to acquire, being that participating is based on desire, it all
makes perfect sense. Let go......
