Self-disclosure and the desire for perfection are each involved, then. [...]

[...] Intent, purpose, or desire do not apply in that picture.

You were born because you desired to be born. [...]

(Pause.) Those goals are usually conceptualized desires, and once formed they act in a fashion like magnets, drawing from those vast fields of interrelatedness the kinds of conditions best suited to their fulfillment. [...]

[...] Next, physically we make a simple gesture or act, no matter how modest, that is in line with our desires for the future. [...]

[...] The answer is that as beneficial, as desirable, as good health is, and the performance of an excellent body, man’s pursuit of other kinds of accomplishment, his equally strong desire for knowledge, and his insatiable curiosity, his pursuit of the ideal, often lead him into pathways that result in the body’s difficulties.

[...] (Jane’s first in many many months.) The impulse automatically led him to perform physical acts that before he simply would not have done, so desire and impulse mobilize the body.

[...] I am going into this material because it shows how desire works in any area. [...]

of desire, slipping through

If you treat her as a desirable woman, you will find a difference in your home atmosphere. [...] But if you treat her as a woman primarily, it must be as a desirable woman, or she will find no content as a woman or as an individual.

And if you treat her as a desirable woman, she will become one. [...] She wants to be regarded as a desirable woman who happens to be your wife and a mother.

[...] She does not feel truly desirable. [...]

[...] Certainly if your joint desire to see Ruburt better was as active and dedicated as theoretically it should be, the towels would have been used.

[...] Cells are not just responsive to light because this is the order of things, but because an emotional desire to perceive light is present.

The desire appears on this other level in the form of these electromagnetic units, which then cause a light sensitivity. [...]

[...] The desire to die is considered cowardly, even evil, by some religions — and yet behind that desire lies all of the vitality of the will to life, which may already be seeking for new avenues of expression and meaning.

[...] Faith in a creative, fulfilling, desired end, sustained faith, literally draws from Framework 2 all of the necessary ingredients, all of the elements however staggering in number, arranges all the details, and then inserts into Framework 1 the impulses, dreams, chance meetings, motivations, or whatever is necessary so that the desired end then falls into place as a completed pattern.

[...] Inside that framework he learned what was wrong with it, and from his experiences was born the strong inner, barely conscious, desire to help his fellow beings emerge into some kind of lucidity. [...]

[...] If he is asked to speak out of sincere desire, he can do his best. [...]

[...] Again, it leads to Ruburt’s desire to help others, and to look for a way to do so.

The reincarnating personality enters the new fetus according to its own inclinations, desires, and characteristics, with some built-in safeguards. [...]

In these circumstances, when the personality attaches itself at conception, there is almost without exception strong past-life connections between parents and child, or there is an unceasing and almost obsessional desire to return to the earthly situation — either for a specific purpose, or because the reincarnating personality is presently obsessed with earthly existence.
