The Heart’s Desire
What is your heart’s desire? Is it money, wealth, fame and fortune, or just more of anything/everything?
These are not heart’s desires. These are things that are merely Conditioned Beliefs - the uploaded software, pure programming - by a society, government and culture designed to keep you looking OUTside of yourself for your happiness and validation.
It is imperative that you hold this Conditioned Belief, as it drives the engine of the economy that fuels the Power and Fortune of Governments and Material Commerce. (Refer to the Post - Root Cause)
We have lost touch with our heart’s desires - The Heart’s Desire - that which the human psyche(we) yearn for at the deepest levels. The Heart’s Desire has been replaced with societal norms, keeping up with the Joneses, and hoping our video goes viral.
By being kept ever looking OUTside of our Selves, we never find the thing that can only be found by looking withIN.
For it is only by looking withIN, can we return to our essence. That which, if the programming were deleted, we would trade all of it for The one driving single Heart’s Desire of the Human Psyche, Connection.
The material world, consumerism, social media, have all used smoke and mirrors to make use believe that they offer Connection. They do not.
Connection is only found in one place. We seek, yearn for, would trade all that we possess for Connection, which is simply another name for Love & Belonging. (Refer to the Post - The Antidote)
The world has most people chasing Connection on a ever faster spinning hamster wheel - the pursuit of Outside Validation - to try to achieve the objective of Love & Belonging/Connection. As the hamster wheel spins a maniacal vortex to no where, so goes this pursuit.
Connection can only be found withIN. When the word Desire is utilized - often the first blush is of a sexual nature, or something equally titillating and seductive, ie money or things purchased with it, as that has also been programmed into that word a long time ago.
However, Desire is seeking - Desire can be used as a compass, pointing us in the direction that leads to Psychological Freedom and Peace.
What is Love?
Often Desire is confused for Love. Perhaps, it is time to rethink what Love is, exactly. Remove all of the programmed and Conditioned Beliefs about Love. Take away all of the fantasies associated with Love. When you distill it down to its absolute essence - it’s purity - it’s most reduced form - Love is Non - Judgement.
Please do ponder this.
Where do we find Love & Belonging/Connection? - only in a space where we do not feel Judged - no where else.
When do we feel that we can “be our Selves?” Only in a space of Nonjudgement.
What is the primary measure of choosing a life’s partner? The person with whom we feel not judged, or judged the least.
What exactly is at the root of the life affirming Love of a Pet? Nonjudgement.
Connection/Love & Belonging
We spend our lives seeking that which was severed at birth - the deep sense of Safety and Security found only in pure Connection/Love & Belonging.
If we reframe Love as Non - Judgement - the path to the Love of Self and the Love of Other is suddenly illuminated. For it is only in the cessation of Judgement of Self and Judgement of Other can we find the Connection to Self (Self Love) and the Connection to Other (Love of Other).
Here lies the point of entry to kindness, gentleness, compassion, goodness, joy, lightness of being, Peace…Psychological Freedom. Here lies The Heart’s Desire of the human psyche - every human’s psyche.
The Compass of Seeking
It is no accident that we use the phrase “Heart’s Desire.” Yearning, seeking, longing do not originate in the cortex - these things originate in the Heart - the Center of Emotion - the Center of Human Experience - our core - our Psyche. Heart is merely the word we substitute for our Psyche.
Our Psyche is not out there on Social Media, tied to the number of Likes or comments that can be elicited. It exists only at our core. The compass points withIN.
Follow the Compass of Seeking. Follow The deepest Desire of your Heart (your Psyche). The Compass points first to Connection with your SELF - the Love (Non - Judgement) of SELF. Then it points to the Connection with Other - the Love (Non - Judgement) of Other. This is Love & Belonging. This is Connection.
Next Level
The White Tiger is here to show you the path that leads in the direction to which the Compass is pointing - The Heart’s Desire. As promised, The White Tiger will shift from the focus on foundational principles, and actionable skills for learning to Connect with the Self, to a focus using these principles, at the next level, to Connect with Other.
