Renunciation

Renunciation is a paradox.

Desire is an illusion 

and the casting away of it 

is denying the inspiration of God

 flowing through you.

The attachment to the acquiring of the desire

 is the key point here.

The desire is not bad 

nor is it the thing that causes suffering.

It is the attachment to the object of desire 

that creates suffering, 

not the desire its self. 

Desire is innate and God made. 

Its from that desire that we evolve and have our Being.

 Desire is the seed of creation! 

When we can create from a space 

of surrender of outcome 

in that desire we are free!

It is the grasping and holding 

onto desire 

as if it will make you more 

if you obtain it.

When experiencing the fullness of desire

 one can do.. 

by having deep desire 

and at the same time

 letting it go.

 How to is this like the rose

 or the essence of the rose. 

It is so sweet a fragrant

 by opening up and letting it go. 

The rose as the highest vibrational frequency 

 is it not the ultimate desire being expressed?

 BEING of DESIRE instead of wanting desire

 is a very subtle difference 

but it is the distinction

 that allows one to experience the fullness 

of their desire 

versus having a desire 

and running after it.

Have desire and sit inside of it 

and let it come to you. 

Don’t chase it. 

In that you renounce the thing desired

 and end up drawing it to you!

How is this also like the spider and its web.

It creates with desire

 a masterpiece and then let’s go 

and allows.

Enjoying the process of creation

 from inspired desire and 

feasting upon its fruits and

 the process is endless 

as is the orgasmic waves of pleasure

 of which all of life is created from.

 It is what we are- orgasmic energy! 

Relax enough to

 let yourself experience 

your nectar!
