Dreams and Desires
Share
There is a difference between having a desire and having a dream. When we dream, we open up the world of infinite possibilities to our consciousness, and choose from among them those that we see may be of service to our path. Those possible futures we call hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams inspire us to move forward in positive and creative ways. They keep us climbing upward. Hopes and dreams are expansive, they never limit us. We also don't tend to behave destructively toward the hopes and dreams of others in order to reach our own hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams are all about creation and opening possibilities, never destruction or closing opportunities.
Desire is the dreamer's shadow-cousin. it comes from a place of fear, where the illusion of need comes from. When we feel we have a need, desire answers. It takes a possibility from the dreamscape and treats it as though it must be an inevitability. If it were not inevitable, then Desire could not be satisfied and we could not be made whole. When we give a dream to our shadow self in this way, it leads us to close other opportunities for ourselves, and destroy the creative processes of dreamers who are close around us.
We and the people we love are never hindered by our dreams, only by our desires.
