What level of INTENSITY defines a BURNING DESIRE?
This chapter is disturbing to many folks for many
reasons, but the MYSTERIOUS FORCE Hill describes here
is perhaps the most “disturbing” thing of all.
EMOTION is our animal bodies’ REACTION to THOUGHT
PATTERNS which stimulate us into action, or MOTION.
These emotions are designed to ripple through us, do
their jobs, and LEAVE.
TRANSMUTATION – We humans have a unique ability to trap
and hold their emotions inside as “states of mind”, and
CHANGE, intensify, and transform them into other
EMOTIONAL STATES and ENERGY.
We maintain these states in our minds, and hold the
energy in our bodies.
For example: FEAR, which we know to be a Negative
Emotion:
Fear, by design, is actually a benign, friendly,
helpful little emotion. As animals facing mortal
danger, Fear should ripple through us, and trigger a
little adrenalin secretion to stimulate our senses and
reflexes.
When danger has passed, the fear and adrenalin should
dissipate, leaving us with a GIDDY FEELING of RELIEF.
Some folks don’t let go of this little fear, but HOLD
IT and TRANSMUTE IT into ANGER or even INTENSIFY it
into RAGE.
If we make a habit of Rage, it will KILL us. The Rage
held within our bodies becomes a TOXIC ENERGY,
poisoning us over time.
The most POWERFUL State of Mind – the Emotions of SEX,
LOVE and ROMANCE combined:
Like a coin, there are TWO SIDES to our true, whole
nature as human beings: The HUMAN, or animal, side and
the BEING, or “spritual” side.
Ever notice that most young toddlers give no thought to
running out the door bare naked to the world?
They approach the world with awe and wonder. They seem
to be very intuitive, sensing things we are unaware of.
Their imagination knows no bounds.
So, what happens to us?
At a very young age we are CONDITIONED by others to
DENY our animal side.
We become ASHAMED of our nakedness, ashamed of our
waste elimination, even ashamed of our perspiration.
Next, we are conditioned to DENY our spiritual side.
“Imagination? Dreams? Intuition? Love?… Humbug! Those
things are not mechanical or rational. There is no
place for them in our world view.”
Our Egos are trained to believe we are unique,
separate, better or worse than everyone else.
This insane separation causes us pain – because deep
inside, we KNOW who we should be.
We feel a nagging longing, a sense of disconnection,
incompleteness, dissatisfaction, being unfulfilled.
This is the source of the state we call LACK.
We attempt to fill the void of Lack by acquiring STUFF.
When the stuff doesn’t fulfill us, we seek MORE stuff.
There is one thing we do to abandon our denial of our
animal side. The “biological imperative” kicks in and
our program to reproduce overrides the program of
denial.
When we engage in Sex, we ABANDON our shame of
nakedness and perspiration – we REVEL in it! We enjoy
the animal connection with another animal.
This MOST POWERFUL of all animal desires and drives,
alone, can propel our thoughts to a very high level of
vibration – when we TRANSMUTE it from the physical and
into the MENTAL.
But Sex, by itself, leaves us yet unfulfilled. We’ve
only satisfied our animal side for a moment. We may
blame this LACK on our partner and seek other partners.
Again, MORE “STUFF”.
Add in the two Emotions from our spiritual side:
LOVE – Most confuse an addiction to an object of
affection with Love.
REAL LOVE is the reaching for and embracing of the pure
Joy of Being, connected to ALL being. It cannot be
destroyed, cannot be lost, and is unconditional. It is
like the sun, constantly shining even behind the
clouds.
ROMANCE – the connection to the Source Heart via the
joining hearts of two soul-mates.
When we COMBINE THE ANIMAL EMOTION OF SEX with the
HEART EMOTIONS OF LOVE AND ROMANCE, we abandon our
denial of BOTH sides.
We become WHOLE, COMPLETE, FULFILLED! Our aware
Consciousness soars to heights we forgot were possible.
We are exhilarated! We feel we are a GENIUSES – that
ANYTHING is possible!
Bottle THIS state of mind – this ENERGY – Transmute
it…and, OH WOW!
We walk into a room and heads turn our way, children
reach out to touch us, folks mingle near us and hope we
will talk to them.
They are drawn to us like moths to a flame, or bees to
apple blossoms. We have the ATTRACTION Hill was writing
about!

P.S….And THIS is the intensity of a BURNING DESIRE.
