Have you ever had a complete-thought conversation? Those conversations where everything each of you wanted to say got said, and you actually had the time to think deeply and expand on what the other person has to say? A talk where the conversation never runs dry because you both have the freedom to expand on the things you find most interesting simultaneously?

There’s so much give-and-take to the average conversation that it may seem impossible to regularly communicate with anyone this way, but I’d like to share an example of how to achieve just that.

The following is a winding tale of desire and transformation. You already know what it’s like to strongly desire, so I’ve put most my effort into describing what happens when you follow those desires to their natural conclusion, rather than distancing yourself from them to avoid the temporary pain of desiring something while experiencing the absence of it.

At over 2,000 words long, this post is probably not worth reading if you’re just looking for quick answers to shallow problems. My aim was to get to the very core of why our desires are so powerful and then help you figure out how to harness that power for yourself by answering the four questions at the end of this post. In aiming for this I’ve had to touch on ideas that I might not always explain clearly. When this is the case, please remember that the point of this article isn’t to get you to think how I think, or understand how I understand, but to improve your thoughts and understanding. You won’t do that simply by passively reading my words, but by actively comparing your perspective with what I’m sharing, and shifting your perspective as you feel called.

When we do things that others choose to feel bad about and then blame ourselves for how they feel, we feel bad in return. And our desire to avoid such situations leads us to “take other people’s feeling into consideration.” And then we blame others for how we feel when they fail to take our feelings into consideration. So we label people who don’t take other people’s feeling into consideration as bad, and their behavior as unwanted. And then we try to avoid that behavior in ourselves so that we don’t feel unwanted.

It’s pretty tricky the way these outside-the-vortex “solutions” pile up on one another. Much easier to just find alignment and live it up!

I was thinking about resistance just now and I came to the conclusion that resistance is the most valuable thing on Earth.

But the funny thing is that you don’t get the value of the resistance until you release it.

In that way it’s just like money. You don’t get any value from having money until you spend it. If you never spend the money, you never get any value. All you ever have is POTENTIAL value.

And seeing money through the light of resistance (and vice versa) offers a ton of insights.

• Can I feel as comfortable with absolutely no money as I would feel with absolutely no resistance?
• If it feels better to have some money lying around for when I need it does it also feel better to have some resistance always around for when I’ll want the experience of releasing it?
