Desire

Desire is An emotion or excitement of the mind, directed to the attainment or possession of an object from which pleasure, sensual, intellectual or spiritual, is expected; a passion excited by the love of an object, or uneasiness at the want of it, and directed to its attainment or possession. Desire is a wish to possess some gratification or source of happiness which is supposed to be obtainable. A wish may exist for something that is or is not abtainable. Desire when directed solely to sensual enjoyment, differs little from appetite.—Webster’s American Dictionary
  Desire is the feeling of wanting to have something or wishing that something will happen; sexual appetite; passion.—American Heritage Dictionary
  Desire is a conscious impulse toward something that promises enjoyment or satisfaction in its attainment: Longing, craving: sexual urge or appetite: something longed or hoped for.—Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary
  Synonyms for desire include urge, longing, craving, thirst, hunger, passion, appetite, yearning, lust, wish, taste, compulsion, drive, itch, need, love, zeal, yen, impulse.—Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary (Note how many of these synonyms are purely sensory.)

---

“What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”—Mark 11:24

---

  Desire is rooted in memory; you cannot desire anything you have not first known.
  Desire is an absolute principle: God desired to create and a universe was born. God must first desire to express or no outer form of Creation can manifest. God has given us three creative tools, desire, thinking, and imagination. Desire is the central building faculty of consciousness.
  Desire is your first expression of the Love principle. Then the abstract principle of expansion or increase operates in you as desire. Desire is a law of being rooted in the Love principle under expansion or increase.
  Desire is also a law of doing that you express in many ways, for instance as longing, wanting, craving or coveting. All desires occur under the expansion principle, which explains why restricting certain desires is necessary. Desire is also a soul virtue and a faculty. You get nowhere in life without desire for something different from what you have. Desire is your motivation for all change and gain.

Edna Lister on Desire

You can stand steadfast, and be worth what you desire to be worth in God’s service only as you stand in the heart of the fire of desire.—Edna Lister, The Sermon on the Mount, January 31, 1933.

Trees, flowers, vegetables, and fruit all have a seed of desire to grow toward the Light. Desire is your seed also.—Edna Lister, Savings of a Lifetime, February 16, 1934.

---

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.—Matthew 19:24. A camel has two humps, called desire and will. The "eye of the needle" is the optic chiasm of the thalamus. 1
  You can give up self-desires in favor of desire for Light and heaven, and get the first hump through the eye. The second hump is harder, to give up the self-will. When you realize that you, of yourself, can will nothing, you turn on desire, and God performs the miracle.—Edna Lister, Recognizing Your Good, April 22, 1934.

---

The soul functions as the law through desire, will and imagination. Desire reaches and presses forth. Will is determination, acting as if you had it. Imagination extends a line of Light to establish contact with your Father.
  The first law of creation is to ardently desire and vividly imagine. Everything works out perfectly when you let law use you with ardent desire and vivid imagination.—Edna Lister, Eternal Youth: The Seven Breaths, November 6, 1946.

---

The solar plexus is the seat of desire, and the seat of will is in the center of consciousness in the head [fully functioning pineal body, pituitary gland and optic chiasm]. When will sinks to the seat of desire, the soul lives life in its lower aspect, with no will power. When you cleanse the subconscious mind, it moves up and mates with will in the head.

  With the first marriage of the Lamb, will becomes illumination with its seat in the pineal body, and desire becomes the seat of intuition in the pituitary gland. Light is then released through the higher creative center onto the nerve ganglia called the optic chiasm of the thalamus, which is called the "mystic eye." Desire mated to will [Bride and Groom] opens the three "windows of the soul." The Holy Breath as the white Christ Light fills the center window of the Mother to mingle its blue ray with the red ray of the right window and the yellow ray of the left window.—Edna Lister, December 9, 1946.

---

If your desire and will conflict, you cannot agree and adjust. Desire and will must mate.—Edna Lister, July 1949.

---

No one and no circumstance can stop your burning soul desire to do something. If you really desire to, you will do it. As Lincoln said, I shall prepare myself and the time will come.
  Soul desire is deathless.—Edna Lister, August 4, 1949.

---

---

---

You must mix deathless, ageless and abiding desire with your faith to put faith into action.—Edna Lister, Promises Fulfilled, September 24, 1950.

---

Joy puts love into action, and vitalizes your soul’s desires.—Edna Lister, October 3, 1950.

---

The first marriage of the Lamb is the mating of desire and will to create access to the I AM consciousness. The second marriage of the Lamb is the mating of I am with Oversoul I AM.—Edna Lister, November 13, 1950.

---

The highest point of burning desire is the Oversoul’s expression of selfless love.—Edna Lister, December 5, 1950.

---

God cannot modify the law of action and reaction to suit your desires. He made us in His image and likeness with a flaming desire to be wise and to love, but also gave us free will to choose what we desire to do.—Edna Lister, June 7, 1951.

---

Sometimes desires lead you into an excess of activity that depletes the atomic body to a point where the Power is detrimental to it, weakness results, or you experience a recurrence of limitations long since conquered.—Edna Lister, June 9, 1951.

---

You are chosen because of the quality of your sacrifice of self and unqualified soul desire, backed by physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strength and balance to be a transforming distributor of Power.—Edna Lister, June 11, 1951.

---

Every desire for good is prayer, not just the formal prayers of the Elect.—Edna Lister, July 23, 1951.

---

Your faculties of desire and will must create anything that you permit your self to dictate.—Edna Lister, March 10, 1952.

---

Your flame of desire is your resource. You are a producer, distributor and sales agent. Production is what you are, but distribution is what you do.—Edna Lister, The Altar and The Flame, December 14, 1952.

---

Sublimation cleanses desire of all taints.—Edna Lister, July 13, 1953.

---

Wisdom operates in you as illumination in the pineal body, and as your faculty of will. Love becomes Wisdom’s negative pole, seated in the sacrum plexus, dwelling place of the creative fire. Thus, the macrocosm of Mind becomes the microcosm of individual consciousness. The seat of will is in the frontal lobes of the brain; the seat of intellect is at the solar plexus, called the self’s brain.
  Free will is not self-will. You lay your self on the crossbar to crucify self-will. Your personal desire must ascend to mate with personal will; will becomes Wisdom, and desire becomes Love. Thus, desire and will mate and become intuition and illumination, or I AM consciousness; this is the birth of the Holy Spirit within you, the embodied soul. Love then descends to the sacrum as the creative fire. Will as Wisdom frees itself of intellect and ascends to the pineal body. This is the birth of free will in a Christed One.—Edna Lister, The Gospel of the Cross, October 18, 1953.

---

To be right, you must lay self-will on the transverse of the cross. Will is called free will or "free choice." Desire is the creative fire in you. You cannot kill desire or eliminate will, nor can you sacrifice will or desire, but you can cleanse the self. You achieve balance when you mate desire with will. As desire ascends, it becomes the flame to purify will, if you have laid it on the transverse of the cross.
  The world is torn between giving up will and expressing free will. The intellectuals argue that God bestowed the gift of free will upon us and we therefore must use it. They fear that by giving up their free will, they will become nonentities, and thus fear nonresistance. To compound this conundrum, Eastern philosophy and puritanical religious sects have advocated killing desire, lumping the good with the not-so-good and calling it all bad, dirty, or evil.
  You express love as desire, and wisdom as will. To do so, you may choose to be a vessel, a channel, or an instrument of love and wisdom. Yet you cannot truly discover the nature of free will until you know what love is. It is not that I have or I don’t have free will. Will and desire are functions of the soul indwelling the body. The action of free will is smooth, sweet and rhythmic, but the exercise of personal will runs on a flat tire.—Edna Lister, Righteousness, April 7, 1954.

---

Cast all your desire needs upon high altars until you fulfill them.—Edna Lister, April 12, 1954.

---

When you ascend self-desires and self-will to become one with soul desires and the free will of God, they fuse as Love and Wisdom in balance, which we call the I AM consciousness. Your desires and will then express as the faculties of intuition and illumination.—Edna Lister, Your Life’s Plan, May 16, 1954.

---

Love is the soul’s high desire.—Edna Lister, June 1, 1954.

---

Wisdom and Love are always recognizable, although they divide themselves into multiple lesser principles and laws. You can trace everything back to one or the other of these two. Love functions as desire; Wisdom functions as will, and when they move together as one, everything works together for good in your life.—Edna Lister, Eternal Youth, 1955.

---

Your personal desires set the limit on your release of Power; otherwise, there is no limit.—Edna Lister, May 19, 1955.

---

You ascend to joy when desire and will join Love and Wisdom.—Edna Lister, Heavenly Manna, August 14, 1955.

---

"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left."—Isaiah 30:21. Intuition is the result of desire and will becoming one as the I AM in the tower room of the higher creative center.—Edna Lister, Intuition or Hunch, September 18, 1955.

---

God cannot change law to suit your desires. You must change and become a living ensample of all law.—Edna Lister, July 22, 1956.

---

You’re in danger when your desire dies the least bit. You must reach a point where desire burns at white heat, and once gained, you can hold it.—Edna Lister, May 5, 1957.

---

Will and desire are teammates that imagination in the driver’s seat must guide. Imagination can “run away with you” when you put an “I” before it. “I am a healer. I had a special healing.” When you say “I” about any of your personal achievements, you are probably boasting. Ascension is mating desire with will; this is mating I AM with love. The subconscious is forever trying to drag down the higher egoic consciousness, and drags the will down with it. Imagination then walks away with desire. Will holds, but desire wants. Imagination paints the picture of “how good it would be if,” which is a temptation. When desire mates with will, will takes possession and moves into the pineal gland as I AM illumination and desire moves into the pituitary as intuition. When desire mates with will, you don’t see problems; what is troublesome just isn’t there!—Edna Lister, June 6, 1957.

---

Regardless of desire, you must fulfill law.—Edna Lister, September 4, 1957.

---

Desire ascends and mates with will to become the I AM consciousness, begetting intuition and illumination that create the great gift of poise, which consists of equal parts of Love and Wisdom. The firstborn twins of the mating of desire and will are peace and patience, expressions of poise and Power moving through you.—Edna Lister, Soul Integration, December 8, 1957.

---

You may enter the heavenly Gates of Light only on your desire for perfection.—Edna Lister, December 19, 1957.

---

An earnest and deep desire is the baby step, just out of diapers, still causing mother untold embarrassment with training pants. Desire must flame and burn white hot.—Edna Lister, December 25, 1957.

---

Your creative tools working together as a harmonious whole is the only thing that ever creates a miracle! Desire, lifted to the treasure house with imagination and thinking, is yours for nothing, just waiting to be used! When desire is lifted, it opens the channel of love, which is the Light from above moving in to make us Christed Ones, expressing only the consciousness of the Christ—no blocks, no limitations, no clouds, no confusion and no indecision! I AM consciousness is your sublimated tools lifted into the treasure house. Only confusion can result from trying to drag thinking and vision down into the world of men, which is all that is in your head until desire is sublimated.—Edna Lister, January 2, 1958.

---

The Mystic Brotherhood of Jesus the Christ teaches raising the creative fire by desire to ascend to God. Burning desire must be your steady flame of motive power.—Edna Lister, January 2, 1958.

---

Every case is a case of self-healing. A healer can only build up a desire for perfection in heart, mind, body and affairs of any person.—Edna Lister, March 13, 1958.

---

Desire lights up the nerves ending in your brain, and draws the Master to you. Desire must fill the pituitary gland to spark intuition, and will must fill the pineal body for illumination. You mate desire with will to open the three higher creative centers, in the head.—Edna Lister, April 21, 1958.

---

You cannot touch joyous soul ecstasy through intellect; it must come via desire.—Edna Lister, May 1, 1958.

---

"I will run the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart."—Psalm 119:32. When you feel as though your heart will burst with joy, God is enlarging your heart to desire Him more!—Edna Lister, May 12, 1958.

---

You can have a burning desire, but it’s another thing to act as if you had the object of your desire.—Edna Lister, October 30, 1958.

---

Each lives up to his highest point of desire, or puts on dark glasses.—Edna Lister, May 7, 1959.

---

You ascend in consciousness through countless crucifixions of your self’s will and desires.—Edna Lister, Jesus’ Seven Last Words, June 7, 1959.

---

The degree of heat under your desire determines what you receive from your effort. There are many degrees from lukewarm to white hot.—Edna Lister, June 8, 1959.

---

Not a jot nor a tittle of your faith or desire is ever lost, but is gathered into a chalice, and filled with immortal substance that brings your desires into visibility.—Edna Lister, November 30, 1959.

---

You must lavishly desire to extravagantly spend yourself for the Light, for full spiritual seeing and hearing, to give of God’s Love selflessly, generously and totally.—Edna Lister, February 22, 1960.

---

The most important lesson to learn is that the first negative soul desire means the bottom. Just forgetting to praise God every hour leads the way.—Edna Lister, February 23, 1960.

---

When your heart’s desire to let the full Power of God use you for His success is flaming, as you let yourself be caught up in ascension of Spirit to hear, to be open, to be used—God gives.—Edna Lister, October 9, 1960.

---

---

God gives you the deep desires of your heart when you have earned them.—Edna Lister, June 18, 1961.

---

A declaration is nothing but an intention of desire. Get busy and do it. Success is applying everything you know to what you do.—Edna Lister, September 14, 1961.

---

You prove worthy of your stand before God, according to your desires.—Edna Lister, May 7, 1962.

---

Everyone has had frozen nerves in the sacrum plexus [which innervate the reproductive organs, internal and external] because they have tried to kill desire. Desire operates as Love, and you cannot kill God’s Love. Desire is the Creative Impulse in action, so use it to stay in the Light.—Edna Lister, August 9, 1962.

---

Law requires no one to go higher than his present soul desires.—Edna Lister, January 13, 1963.

When your desire is burning, you do it.—Edna Lister, February 27, 1963.

---

Hold fast all your ascension gains by being faithful to your high visions and desires.—Edna Lister, April 19, 1963.

We came here to prove we could have a consuming desire to know God, earn our living in the world and remain in balance, which are the "greater works."—Edna Lister, November 10, 1966.

---

Climb to the point where your desire to ascend consumes you.—Edna Lister, November 28, 1966.

---

God does not promote you because you are perfect, but for your desire to be perfect.—Edna Lister, May 26, 1967.

---

The Christed consciousness is the will and desire mated as I AM consciousness, ruled by imagination turned upward as vision.—Edna Lister, June 6, 1967.

---

The perfection of desire takes you before high altars, but what you haven’t conquered takes you back to earth to work out.—Edna Lister, May 26, 1968.

---

Every decision begins with your creative tools, desire, imagination and thinking. You must direct and control them and their action within you.

---

When you desire to help and lift, you do help.—Edna Lister, May 28, 1970.

Edna Lister on Desires, Thinking, and Imagination

[The laws of the soul include this primary set, designed to clarify the right use of imagination, thinking and desires.]

God gives each soul enough substance of Light, stored in his Star, to fill all his molds of desire full and to bring to pass all his needs promised him of God.

Each soul must release his soul substance by transforming it from invisible Light to a lower form of substance which can be seen, from storage in Star to earth mold.

Your obedience to the fullness of God’s great Love is your true safeguard, success and dream fulfillment.

Love is the only true fulfillment of law. To you is given power of right thinking. Use it. Each soul is given the power of right love. Use it. You have the power of right seeing. Use it. You have the full power of right hearing. Use it.

You have the power of right discrimination. Use it. You have the power of right reason. Use it. You have the power of right use of Light. So use. You have all power over darkness. Use it. You have the full power of all discretion. So use. You have the power of right faith. Use it.

The right use of Power is letting. To "let" means to become unconquerable, fully invincible law.—Edna Lister, July 1945.
