You see, the call comes to people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all personality types from jolly to grumpy – everyone gets the call. We are all called to do something.
I have had people ask me about their urges – sometimes they have been taught that their urges are evil – from some inner demon seeking to lead them astray.
I cannot stress this strongly enough –NO urge of itself is wrong – but there can be a wrong interpretation of a desire.
If you are living from the ego side of your consciousness, if your awareness is focused in the physical, material world, you may translate your desires from fear or anxiety. This will translate into a general sense of lack. You may then feel lust, which flows from feeling a lack of intimacy or closeness. You may feel confusion, a lack of harmony. You may experience greed or poverty, a sense of lacking material support. When you interpret your desires from your fear, then a perfectly normal desire may be warped by the errors in your consciousness into something wrong and harmful.
If so, there is only one thing to do – THINK AGAIN – and think differently!
Be sensitive to your desires, and think them through. Think about how to fulfill this desire for the good of all – your self included. Desires are part of our feeling nature – add some thinking to them – and then fulfill them in a healthy and positive way. There is no wrong or desire – only a wrong interpretation and follow-up action. Do everything from the highest and best good for all, and you cannot ever go astray!
A tiny handful of people are lucky enough to follow their path right from birth or from childhood. For them, it may seem like the call never came, because they followed their path right from the start.
For most of us – we start out along a path that seems reasonable – we go with the flow, it seems – and at some point in our life we begin to fidget, we squirm, we are itchy, possibly unhappy.
At that point we have a choice – to listen and maybe hear the call – or to ignore it and hope it goes away. Many people are ignoring their inner call right now. It will not go away.
