[...] They also served to point up the differences between knowledge and comprehension, and emphasize the importance of desire and of the emotions.

[...] His or her own desires and beliefs activate certain abilities and ignore others.

[...] This heritage must be triggered psychically, however, as a physical mechanism such as a muscle is triggered through desire or intent.

[...] Without the triggering desire, the skill would not be developed; but even when you do learn a skill, you use it in your own unique way. [...]

You may desire health, but believe implicitly in your state of poor health. You may desire spiritual understanding, while thinking that you are spiritually unworthy and opaque. [...] If you want to be healthy and continually contrast what you want with the present conviction in your poor health, then the belief itself, set up against the desire, will cause added difficulties. [...] Desire and belief are not united but apart.

[...] In periods of concentrated focus, with all distractions cut out, the desired ideas are then implanted (in formal hypnosis). [...]

[...] The results do not seem, now, to follow your conscious desires. [...]

[...] For that time desire and belief will be one. [...]

[...] That desire was clear-cut. Immediately, without trying, at different times his imagination came up with different pictures to implement the desire—the table, the cupboard.

[...] This sounds quite simplistic, and yet it is quite practically true, but you have people professing to desire wealth while obviously doing everything possible to insure the continuance of poverty. [...]

[...] Keep that desire clear in a creature fashion. [...]

[...] Creative people do not fit into your society, so often they will indeed appear as the eccentrics, the disinherited, the mad, the obsessed, or whatever—because their desires and intents, their imaginations and their wills, are not satisfied by the tenets or organizations of the conventional world.

You live through desire, and behind all desire there is love—love of being what you are, and love of being part of the fabric of existence that you know. [...]

[...] Their desire is no longer with the earth. [...] Now your desire has ebbed and flowed through psychic deaths and births. [...]

[...] While you desire it and feel it necessary, you also to some extent are afraid of it, lest it cut you off too much from your fellows.

[...] In the past you felt and believed that this was not possible, and so your attempts failed, largely because you were afraid—overly afraid —of hurting other peoples’ feelings, and somewhat afraid that your desire for solitude would cut you off too much from others.

[...] This is mixed of course with strong surges of desire, and the release of that desire is all-important — for now he truly wants (underlined) to walk normally, and is willing — more than willing — to give up any fears or doubts that have stood in his way in the past.

[...] I think today’s session shows that Jane has either reached that point of passionate desire, or is very close to it.

[...] A lingering feeling allows those who have left your system to keep in contact with it if they so desire. [...]

Even the misguided desires behind their activities diminishes. [...]

I told you some time ago that you could resume your envelope tests if you desired, and I repeat this now.

[...] He was even then leaning toward our direction, by nature, ability and inner desire.

(Definitely Pat’s desire for the special session was a contributing point. I reacted to her desire; just as I react negatively to someone who is highly critical. [...]

[...] A desire on the part of a sitter to know or understand is a help.)

[...] A desire for austerity and a desire for physical materials.

On the contrary, an understanding of the rule of expectation is the one truly practical step you can take whenever any change in physical circumstances is desired. [...]

I speak to you from the known and unknown desire that gives you your own birth, and that speaks to you from the tiniest, least-acknowledged thought that flies like a pigeon within your skull … And in this moment of your reality, and in the desire of your being, do you even create All That Is. [...]

[...] Not because you should do it, but because you desire it … It is a great creative challenge that you can throw down to yourselves from your future selves.

[...] You gave your desire freedom, and you believed in it. [...] You were not driven by fear, but desire, not by doubts but by hope and faith. [...]

[...] You did not free that desire. [...] Again, because your fears did not allow you to express or release that desire.

[...] All of the resources, the endless resources on Framework 2 are available to you, and you will use them in many areas, but you must trigger them through desire and intent, with the faith and belief that they are indeed available at your command, in the area in which you are interested.

[...] A small note: you did not free your desire in terms of sales, either. [...]

[...] It is true that the anima allows itself to be acted upon, but the motive behind this is the desire and the necessity to tune into other forces that are supremely powerful. The desire to be swept along, therefore, is as strong with the anima as the opposite desire for rest. [...]

[...] Symbolically speaking, the two together represent the whole self with its diverse abilities, desires, and characteristics.

Conscious desire to achieve a given end may represent only a superficial, culturally-adopted wish, that may even be directly opposed to the emotionally-charged desires and expectations of the inner self.

If this is the case then the seemingly desired end is not really either desired or expected, and subsequent manipulation of matter will fall short of success. [...]

Such domination will never be habitual, but conscious awareness of subconscious manipulation of matter may become habitual, and may often of its own accord follow the desires of the conscious mind, if certain conditions are met.

First of all, the conscious desires must be in league with, and unopposed by, subconscious expectations. [...]

[...] through your most intimate desires and thoughts and fears. You change the exterior circumstances by changing your thoughts and your desires and by forgetting your fears. [...]

[...] If you realize that you create your physical reality through your own thoughts and desires, then you have learned the most important aspects of reality. [...]

[...] If you knew that you had a karmic tie with your wife and did not realize that you formed your own reality through your own thoughts and desires, then it would serve you not at all. [...]

I have said this often in class: You have been given the most awesome gift of all—the gift to create from your own thoughts and desires. [...]

[...] Also you picked up his desire to go to battle for, only in this case you are using battle for ideas that you are struggling for. [...]

[...] A strong inclination to go ahead independently with his ideas, balanced by the desire to find security within the system, and the fear to leave it. [...]

[...] There must be a psychological fit also, certain intensities reached in terms of desire, belief, or intent. By intensity I do not necessarily mean effort, vehement desire, or determined conscious intent. [...]

[...] Seth’s voice, coming through her in his own unique accent, can be as gentle as a whisper or as ear-splitting as he desires when he wants to make a point. [...]

[...] Events, again, gain their characteristics from those significances that you place upon the universe as your own being impresses it with your beliefs, desires, and individual nature.

[...] The final trigger for that actualization may come from the waking or dream states, but it will represent the final factor needed — the quickening of inspiration, desire, or purpose — that will suddenly activate the initial psychological organization as a physical occurrence.

[...] In your existence it is quite reasonable to visualize a desired event, for example, in the belief that the image and thought will help make the event physically real – and so it shall. It may also of course mean that other, perhaps more desirable events that you have not thought of may not happen—because you have been so specific, and perhaps determined your desire from your own level of understanding only—where the reservoirs of this deeper mental system might have been able to tell you that the event you want so badly is not, after all, to your best interest.

[...] His desire to walk in the kitchen is excellent, and shows new determination. [...]

[...] This time the orator part of you is still strong in that you want to teach and like to talk and to discuss issues—but also at the same time you wanted the sense of security that you felt the other brother had—also you picked up his desire to go to battle for, only in this case you are using battle for ideas that you are struggling for. [...]

[...] A strong inclination to go ahead independently with his ideas, balanced by the desire to find security within the system, and the fear to leave it. [...]

[...] your desires— for what you think of is materialized... [...] the condition of your physical world is the result of your mass inner thoughts and desires. And your physical world is the result of your mass inner thoughts and desires. [...]

[...] In many cases, a psychic will telepathically pick up from you desires that you have at any given time. [...]

[...] After he’d left, we could see that in actuality Paul’s visit had offered all that Jane could have desired, under the circumstances; we hadn’t asked for any of it, even his preliminary visit to the house to examine Jane this time—although he’d done that on a couple of previous occasions, again without being asked by us.

It is easy perhaps at times to have regrets, to wish that curiosity, the love of learning, the desire for knowledge, and yearning to help your fellow men (was Seth a bit amused here?) had not gone quite so far, and to imagine that had it not Ruburt would be in excellent physical condition, and no one would miss the work that then would not exist.

What you have then was Ruburt’s desire to have his teeth fixed, when it was obvious that he must, and his fear that he could not perform adequately at this time. [...]

Paul’s activities over the weekend, yours, the time of your call, the fact that he did have the time today, when ordinarily he would not—all of these issues were juggled in Framework 2, to give you, now, the best possible solution, given the conditions in Framework 1, with the desires and beliefs involved.

[...] Desire, wish and expectation rule all actions, and are the basis for all realities.

Within All That Is, then, the wish, desire and expectation of creativity existed before all other actuality. [...]

[...] The strength and vitality of these desires and expectations, in your terms then, became so insupportable that All That Is was driven to find the means to produce them.

The agony itself and the stupendous desire to create represented its proof of its own reality. [...]
