Quotes About Desire

The essential feeling of naturalness can be achieved by persistently filling your consciousness with imagination — imagining yourself being what you want to be or having what you desire.

The spanning of the bridge between desire—thinking of—and satisfaction—thinking from—is all-important. We must move mentally from thinking of the end to thinking from the end. This, reason could never do. By its nature it is restricted to the evidence of the senses; but imagination, having no such limitation, can. Desire exists to be gratified in the activity of imagination. Through imagination man escapes from the limitation of the senses and the bondage of reason.

Regardless of occasional experiences to the contrary, it is your destiny to rise to higher and higher states of consciousness, and to bring into manifestation more and more of creation's infinite wonders.

When you know exactly what you want, make as lifelike a representation as possible of what you would see and touch, and what you would do, if you were physically present and moving in such a state.

Stop looking for signs. Signs follow; they do not precede. Begin to reverse the statement, "Seeing is believing," to "Believing is seeing." Start now to believe, not with the wavering confidence based on deceptive external evidence but with an undaunted confidence based on the immutable law that you can be that which you desire to be. You will find that you are not a victim of fate but a victim of faith (your own).

Be still and know that you are that which you desire to be, and you will never have to search for it.

Choose your desire and, to the degree that you are self-persuaded that you have it, you will get it.

They will do it not even knowing that they are.

The man who at will can assume whatever state he pleases has found the keys to the kingdom of Heaven.

Assume the spirit, the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and you will have opened the windows to receive the blessing. To assume a state is to get into the spirit of it.

Every problem automatically produces its solution in the form of a desire to be free from the problem.

Continue in this belief, and you will find that your prison wall will disappear as you begin to express that which you have become conscious of being.

If you do not believe that you are He (the person you want to be), then you remain as you are. Through the faithful systematic cultivation of the feeling of the wish fulfilled, desire becomes the promise of its own fulfillment. The assumption of the feeling of the wish fulfilled makes the future dream a present fact.

Cuando débilmente desea algo, difícilmente lo consigue.

Prayer is the art of yielding to the wish and not the forcing of the wish.

Inner action orders all things according to the nature of itself. Try and see whether a desirable ideal once formulated is possible, for only by this process of experiment can you realise your potentialities.

Because creation is finished, what you desire already exists. It is excluded from view because you can see only the contents of your own consciousness. It is the function of an assumption to call back the excluded view and restore full vision. It is not the world but your assumptions that change. An assumption brings the invisible into sight. It is nothing more nor less than seeing with the eye of God, i.e., imagination.
