Wanting

There is a fine line between wanting, needing, desiring. As we release the attachment to achieving our desires, we may also stop desiring as much. When that happens, if we have been driven, motivated from a place of desire, we may fall into a place of free fall, limbo-like, as our motivating tool falls away. At that point, we are challenged to go deeper, to find another way of being in the world. When we start to lose desire for the physical, how does this affect our wil to live? If our life's purpose has been simply driven by physical desires, we may be left feeling empty. Life may take on a quality of pointlessness. At that point, we can expand beyond our physical comfort zone, and open ourselves up to the possibility of something more. The possibility of happiness beyond the physical. Either that or we try to go back and find some sort of joy or thrill that is based in the physical. Or we may oscillate between these and other ideas and explorations until we find the path we are willing to pursue. The thing that can be damaging to this state of exploration, is judgment. If we remember that everything is perfect, we provide a space for ourselves to allow a new reality or to allow a new relationship to reality. At times this limbo may feel like inertia, but do we call it inertia because we need an excuse to keep doing?
