This is how to get what you want: You can’t!

Now that the joke is out of the way, what is left?

Why can’t you get what you want? Because you think you want one thing when you really want another. You think you want to be pleasured but what you really want is to know self-love. And self-love is not something you get by wanting it.

So you ask me, “Then how do I get self-love?” And I would suggest that you already have it.

And you say, “If I have it, why don’t I feel it?” Because it is not a feeling but a state of being. You see, being has no wants.

Until you watch yourself desiring this and that to make you happy, you cannot see that your true being has nothing to hope for or to get.

Yeah, I know. This is not a popular thing for people to write about. But anything popular is based on desire and fulfillment. That is how people sell products to each other. And no one is getting what they really want. Why? You tell me!
