Secret Ingredients For Success – Part Two
As we said, “secret ingredients are like channels” through which the universe manifests our intentions, like a garden hose which directs the flow of water wherever we wish it to go. The second secret ingredient is “passion” which is the channel of power the universe uses to “ignite” our intentions and bring them into our experience.
Most people think of this aspect of creating as the “desire” we feel when we want something to come into our life. It is also referred to as a “burning desire” but we call it “passion” because desire summons up a picture of self-oriented wanting, whereas passion suggests a desire that encompasses others if not the entire world.
We may have a burning desire to achieve fame and fortune through the food industry but have a passion to wipe out hunger in the world…see the difference? Naturally, you may use either term as you wish and both will in fact bring about the manifestation of your intentions, however our personal intention is to inspire manifesting that brings with it the success of your intentions as well as a sense of peace, love and joy.
Now, why is desire, burning desire or passion so important to manifestation of intention? Because the universe does not communicate through words which are a construct of the human mind and are highly limiting in circumscribing the intentions we have. The universe communicates through feelings. Even that description is just words, however if you think of a feeling as an essence experienced rather than a person, place, thing or circumstance attained, you will get a better concept of what it is you are really after when you want to manifest something.
So then, the universe reads your intention commands through the medium of the essence of the feeling you want to get when the manifestation occurs. In truth, that essence exists the moment you have the idea to manifest something…and, you can experience it long before it appears in your world.
