What’s missing at this magical moment?

 Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. You take all the things you want from a person -- sexual chemistry, let's say, or good conversation, or financial support, or intellectual compatibility, or niceness, or loyalty -- and you get to pick three of those things. The rest you have to look for elsewhere. It's only in the movies that you find someone who gives you all those things. But this isn't the movies. In the real world, you have to identify which three qualities you want to spend the rest of your life with, and then you look for those qualities in another person. That's real life. Don't you see it's a trap? If you keep trying to find everything, you'll wind up with nothing.”

 Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

 

I was told the root of the word desire is “something is missing”. We all have desires, but what exactly is missing? Why can’t we have it all, in relationships, in professional life, within our family life, as Hanya Yanagihara seems to suggest? Well, the outer world we face is the mirror image of the inner. Externally, we can never find fulfillment if there is a void inside of us that we are too afraid to reach. I have found the secret of abundance. I sit quietly and observe the inner vibrations merge with the prevailing higher energies. The tingle at the top of the head tells me when the download is complete. What’s missing at this magical moment?
