What You Really Want
When we say what "you" really want, what we mean is, what does that thinking, loving, being who came from our side of the veil into your physical body want to do, accomplish, feel? These are longings that have been with you, often since childhood. Many adults have let the outer ego, focused as it is on cultural approval, to yank their being very far from where it began. You can see these people with their obsession with the outer and their need to control others.
The soul knows itself quite well. The soul is a natural creator. You are creating all the time. You are not the same soul, the same entity, with same counterparts, as when you incarnated. You are changing, growing, learning, and knowing all the time.
This is why it matters not how old you are when you set to uncover your soul's desires and to separate from the desires you have that are born of cultural pressure.
Now is the time to let your soul dance as it did when you were a child.
The conditioning power of your modern culture is waning, and children being born today have a stronger connection to our side of the veil. They will not give up their soul's desires as easily as those before them. Many will seem stubborn and uncooperative. Not so, not really. They just know what their plan is and they're not going to be pushed off course easily, even by those they love.
The thing is, even older folks, those who abandoned their younger self long ago, can uncover the soul's desires. We speak of childhood desires as examples of soul desire because for most that was the last time the soul was outwardly expressing with ease. Your soul, though, is not the same as the one you came in with. It has learned much. And it still has a wisdom rooted in unconditional self love that it has possessed from the beginning. To unearth this aspect of your self is to find a felt sense of inner truth. Your feelings will be the surest compass for guiding you to your soul's desires.
For now, begin the process by asking yourself often every day as you move through your life: Do I really want to do this? Am I working toward a goal that really matters to me? Or is this something that matters to them? You may be surprised at what you discover.
