The questioner was wanting clarity about texts which speak of ego, desire and illusion.

You cant help but give birth to those rockets of desire because the contrast and your exposure to it just makes you, whether you are knowing it or not, continually conclude these new preferences. So these desires are a given. You cannot stop them. It is the natural process.

So now the desire is born and life force is flowing through you. So now lets think about that in terms of the way what you were just describing here as physical human being creators. So you say - I have this desire for something… maybe its a new red car; maybe its a world event to be different; maybe its someone who is not doing very well to do better. It might be virtuous by your standards. It might be worldly and materialistic by your standards. But the desire, whatever it is, exists within you.

As the desire exists within you and you say I have this desire and Im not living it - oh woe is me! - I have this unfulfilled desire, .. in your unhappiness about the incompletion of this desire, you are holding yourself apart from Source energy and many whore looking on - who may not be able to define the specifics of what just transpired - would say That worldly thing you want is not good for you, because look at the state it has got you in. And they can tell youre in a bad state because youre ornery; you are working 24 hours a day; youre struggling; and so they conclude - this worldly thing that you want is not a good thing.

And we say it is not the DESIRE that is misplaced or inappropriate or even the subject of the desire. Its that the individual is holding the desire, condemning themselves about not achieving it. Theyve got split energy. Theyre in a state of resistance and theyre not allowing the energy to flow. Finally you just have to come to acknowledging that Source energy flows and that you re the extenders of it. You are the focusers and projectors of it. The contrast helps you as focusing mechanisms. OH! The magnificent, genius, focused mechanized beings that you are!!.. To achieve the new desire and then your work is to align the energy.

And we think that is what A Course in Miracles is talking about even though it uses different words. There are so many teachers that are wanting to help you let go and let God, they say - or release and allow the energy of Source to flow through you.

Now when you think about your physical senses, they are all vibrational interpreters. And you are here, in this leading edge environment as a whole lot of focused energy.. with these physical senses that interpret vibration and that is what makes this illusion. And what do we mean about illusion? Or what does the writer you were quoting mean by illusion? Illusion means something unseen by most. Illusion means, it exists in some realm but it is illuding most. Most people are not seeing it. Because they are not vibrationally attuned to it, you see. And so we say there is nothing that is not reality but there are many things that are not seen in this physical time-space reality. And so we say, your consciousness is much more than this agreement that you are all upon. And some may say, therefore this agreement is illusion. We would call it something else. We would call it a dynamic, focused agreement by a whole lot of deliberate creators who have gone so far as to develop physical senses to interpret it in order to give them a platform from which to take creation beyond that which it has ever been before. It is far from illusion. It is leading edge creation.
