What Do I Want

The second soul question we ask in our meditation practice is “what do I want?” The question does not need to be answered immediately; you just put the question out there and wait for the answer to come when the time is right.
 
Here’s how it works..
Ask the question “What do I want?” and let any sensation, image, feeling, or thought come to you. Don’t strain or force an answer, just ask the question. Perhaps the answers will change from day to day; just go with the flow.
 
When Einstein was asked the question, he responded “I want to know God’s thoughts.”
 
You might find Deepak Chopra’s book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success interesting. In chapter two, Deepak writes “The universe operates through dynamic exchange giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.”
 
Receiving is the same principle as giving in order to receive we must give.
     If you want Love, give Love,
     If you want complements, give compliments.
     If you want to laugh, make someone laugh.
     If you want success, help someone gain success.
     If you want to be trusted, trust.
     If you want to make more money, help someone make more        money.
     If you want a job promotion, help someone get promoted.
     Give what you want!
 
Be careful what you wish for, there is an old saying, “sometimes the gods grant us our wishes to punish us.”
