Desire
is nebulous. To desire is defined by Webster as: "to long
or hope for." Intention is defined by Webster as:
"determination to act in a certain way; resolve." Next in
the sequence is to commit, defined by Webster as: "to carry
into action deliberately."
You raise another issue in your reference to one's
thought process. First in the sequence is thinking. This
is followed by adding feeling to the thought, thus giving
the thought power. We call a thought connected to a feeling
a belief. Next come intention and finally, commitment.
These are all activities we engage in as humans. As the God
Presence, we know. When we reach commitment to open to the
God Presence, we know we are truly ready to accept who we
really are.
When we feel the commitment to open to the God Presence,
the Universe brings us the perfect support to proceed with
the opening process. This process includes reclaiming the
power we have hidden in our beliefs that we are less than
who we really are.
You asked a conceptual question and I have given a
conceptual answer. The question and the answer will be more
meaningful to you if you go into the feelings each of the
concepts bring up for you. That is where the power is.
