DESIRE

NATURE’S GREATEST CON

Deep within the matrix of the DNA molecule lies a vital code that is greatly responsible for the building of our human civilisation. This is the 30'" shadow of human Desire. Often when we think of desire we think first of sexual desire, which is in fact only one direction that desire can take. To understand this 30 shadow we will have to strip desire down to its essence, and this means detaching the force of desire from its projection into the world. As a pure phenomenon, desire is simply genetic hunger. It does have a deep connection to our physical need to eat, but desire alone is not responsible for our individual survival. This aspect of our genetics does not influence individuality at all. If anything, desire is far more likely to get us killed than protect us. However, desire does serve a far wider purpose when viewed at a collective genetic level. The real purpose of desire is to get human beings to make mistakes so that we can evolve. Let us clarify this statement — desire does not serve the individual but it does teach us something valuable at a collective level. The real hunger coming from this 30'" shadow is the hunger for experience itself. In order for human beings to master their environment, they have to taste all aspects of it which means that they also have to explore the darker side of experience as well as the lighter. The fact that individuals or even large populations are killed in the process is of no consequence to the awareness operating through the whole human gene pool. Humans are expendable to the collective — even whole races are expendable — but humanity itself is not expendable. We are programmed through the 30) Gene Key to learn and evolve through experience, so there is nothing we can avoid experiencing. If there is anything that is still untried by humanity, then somewhere, inside someone, the hunger of the 30t shadow will push them into trying it — no matter how outlandish or depraved it may be. For consciousness to enter into form, it must immerse itself deep within the form. In human beings, consciousness has at its disposal a very powerful and sensitive system of awareness — an awareness only overshadowed by the spirit of Gaia herself, of which humanity is essentially a sense organ. There is something very profound to understand here — the genetic instructions that guide humanity do not come from humanity as a separate entity, even though it appears that way to us. We are only a part of a wider organism with its own genetic imperative, and desire has formed an integral part of humanity’s evolution as the driving force behind our sensory apparatus. It is as though humanity operates like nature’s brain, with desire providing the force that opens up all manner of neural networks within that brain. Some neural connections lead to short circuits while others open us up to great leaps in awareness. All possible connections must be tried and tested in order to discover which are of th... THE GIFT — Commitment your body actually begins to fill with light as your lower vehicles and subtle bodies are purified by the strength of your longing.
