Of  Your Embrace

What is it that you most desire? What type of motivation do you need to move towards that desire? Is this desire fueled by the subconscious thoughts of what joys it will give you? Or can you remain fully present and aware of both the negatives and the positives of achieving what you WILL to be so?

That part of our being that we name as the “will” can be a slippery slope to climb.  Desire is always part of the magickal equation for bringing into manifestation what we wish to be. And, it is the raw measure of desire that urges forward (or backward) the actions that are needed to move the energy of that desire. You will or WILL is what steps in and helps to guide the course of what the resultant product is.  If fueled by greed, lust or negativity the outcome and the actions taken are not often in accord with what is of the highest good.

If, however, the Higher Will is called into action greed becomes the ability to attract to oneself what is appropriately needed; lust becomes all compassionate love and understanding and the balance of negativity and positive flow is stabilized so that each work in harmony with the other in a polarized and productive way.

Air feeds the flame that consumes what lay hidden until the process of transformation is acted upon and the essence of something new may rise carried and uplifted on the breath of Air that once again feeds the flame…..  If we replace some of these words with their resonance to our spiritual nature, it would read something like this:

Mind fuels and enlivens the will to action which provides the necessary release of those shadow and/or subconscious parts of our being so they may be broken down, reformed and synthesized becoming the Phoenix of Higher Will that aspires towards Higher Mind which is now the informed catalyst (or fuel) that feeds the Higher Will to action…..

Our consciousness receives, filters and disburses the experience that passes through it.  We react at a conscious level to those things which lay within our subconscious. Albeit, this reaction is often instinctual and can remain unnoticed indefinitely, there is nonetheless,

a feeding of what our conscious action is by what is hidden beneath.  Shadow and self-discovery work address this hidden impact and set as goal to bring to the surface of conscious awareness those parts of our being that shun the full brightness of the light.

At the other end of the spectrum lay the super or higher state of consciousness. That which is in communion with the Divine spark, Deity and our Higher Nature.  The Higher or illumined Will resides in this space of awareness and is informed and aligned with outcome that is for the good of all. This Will is informed by Higher Mind and enlivened with compassion fueled by the desire for at-oneness with all things.  This informed state of being has been crafted from alignment with the subconscious and shadow state- drawn up to the place of  integration within the manifest and conscious self which allows an opening and communion with the Higher and super-conscious Divine Self.

When we allow our desires to be in accord with Divinely inspired thought we walk a path that is more intent-filled and are able to will-fully act in a catalytic way that ignites the flames of our Higher Will and higher consciousness.
