Desire & Emptying: Two Sides of the Same Coin



The desire, what’s wanted, often feels so clear and simple. It arises naturally, out of experience, without effort. Whether it’s a big goal, a feeling of peace, or even something like winning the lottery, the desire seems to come easily. But what doesn’t always feel so obvious is this: the emptying of limiting beliefs is not separate from what’s wanted—it is the manifestation itself, unfolding.

It’s easy to think of the clearing out of old patterns, doubts, and beliefs as something that just happens along the way, like a side process. But in truth, the emptying of those limiting beliefs is the direct path to what’s wanted manifesting. They aren’t separate. When desire arises, it’s already being fulfilled. It’s like saying, “I want this,” and reality responds with, “Of course, it’s already happening.” The clearing, the emptying of anything contrary to that desire, is the manifestation in progress.

But here’s where resistance often sneaks in. As beliefs empty, emotions arise—perhaps fear, doubt, or frustration. These emotions are part of the clearing, yet there’s often an aversion to feeling them. Thoughts pop up, creating stories about a second self, something separate that’s “experiencing” the emotions. This can obscure the truth of what’s happening.

But feeling is Being, and Being is what’s manifesting. The emotions, the clearing, the desires—all of it is part of the same whole. There’s nothing to resist because what’s being felt is the very thing that’s wanted, in its own perfect way.
