You will get what you want, unless ...

I remember once having a spiritual discussion with a friend, who is a catholic, and said to her that I have no problem with miracles, but that I didn't think any of them would ever violate a physical or a mathematical law. In the meantime I have read a little about the increasingly bizarre new insights physics has come up with recently, and my statement doesn't really seem to be a stretch. It appears that with these 'laws' almost everything is possible.

To continue with the theme of linking spirituality with mathematics, I had another idea. One day somebody in the Personal Development Forum for Smart People said to me that you, as a Son or Daughter of God, always get what you want. This sounded nice and is probably right, but I am tempted to add this formula: you are perhaps able to get anything your heart desires as long as it can be put into a subject to constraint, and your maximizing function is your spiritual Tao. To give an example, you may like to have a BMW, a nice house, a loving family, a creative job, but otherwise you leave it up to the Source to tell you what your path is all about.

The universe is expanding at an incomprehensible rate every moment, do you really think the Source is losing sleep over what some of your personal preferences are. The problem comes if you are saying no to love and choose to give in to the "cry for more" instead. This urge is always wrapped in some pseudo-motives, but they will lead you into nowhere unless you figure this issue out. The Source cannot help you with those desires as you are hurting yourself without knowing it. As Jesus said in the Course in Miracles, if you see a child with scissors, wouldn't you take them away even if the child cries? Mind the hunger for more, but otherwise the universe always asks, 'How may we help you?"
