chose came to you immediately, we're just asking, I everything you
chose came to you immediately, would that be beneficial or detrimental
to what you're putting in your vibrational escrow? Just think about
it. If every time you say, "I like that, I want that", it came, do you
think it would slow down the desire? Can you feel any personal
momentum from knowing what you don't want? Can you? (Guest says
something about causing something, not clear) Oh, you can. You can
feel momentum from the contrast. So now let's go back to this pile of
contrast and let's focus your brilliant minds upon it, and when you
work on something, doesn't it gather more momentum? Don't you gather
momentum by weighing the pluses and minuses, the pros and the cons?
Don't you benefit by sifting through the data? Isn't that the way you
put your hands in the clay? Don't you want the data to deal with?

Don't you want to feel the power of a desire being born within you?
Don't you? Have you seen the little kids, don't they tell you "I know,
I know", they don't want you to tell them everything that you know.
They want to figure it out on their own. They want to know. They want
the life experience. We're still here with you; we're still talking
about the joyous deliciousness of dealing with the contrast and
feeling the power of a desire. Yes, a currently not manifested desire.
Yes, a desire that may manifest far down the road. But right now, in
this moment, there is satisfaction from me getting to play in this
game of life, from me getting to be focused here from all this
contrast, me getting to be a sculptor with a full palate of materials
and colors and substances and textures; me having all of that variety
here with my fingers in it. Me getting to choose all of that and
LOVING the variety and loving the skill with which I am learning to
choose what I most want. I LOVE this contrast, I love this contrast, I
love this contrast and what it means to me, because my eternalness
depends upon this contrast, my expansion depends upon this contrast
and YES, even my JOY depends upon this contrast for if it where not
for this contrast I could not expand, and if I could not expand I
could not move forward, and if I could not move forward I could not
FEEL the motion forward; I could not feel the closing of the gap which
is what joy is. So there you have it.
