   But our lives are woven around an   
   unlimited supply of wishes. The former   
   are consubstantial and coextensive   
   with the latter. The latter buttress the   
   former, which would otherwise   
   collapse into sheer nihility.

   yogananda once said that we send out angels   
   to do our bidding and then send assassins to   
   kill them.   
      
   when heart, mind and soul are all congruent in   
   desire, things can appear. desire always gets a   
   bad name, yet it is this incongruence between   
   parts of ourselves not in harmony that stops our   
   desires from manifesting and one of the pitfalls   
   of this process is the things that are desired, sex,   
   money, power, approval, control and so on. if all   
   of your desires would boil down to freedom, you   
   would be instantly enlightened.
