You Cannot Operate Without Desires & Beliefs ~ Divine Self via Simon Night Starr

Children of God, you all possess beliefs, for beliefs are required for there to be experience in creation. You cannot exist without beliefs. This is obvious to you (on a Higher Self level), yet you may be one of the billions of humans who do not clearly see this, simply because of having your attention almost always on the physical manifestations of beliefs instead of on the actual beliefs themselves.
Let us define a "belief." A belief is nothing other than a thought, a thought pattern. A practiced thought becomes a belief. This is very simple. You cannot possibly exist in human form--nor any form--without thought. In fact, a human being IS a belief! A human is a belief in the Universal Mind. It is therefore absurd for a human to deny beliefs. To deny the importance of beliefs is to deny your own creaturehood, which is also a denial of your True Self. A denial is also a belief; remember this.
Honor the fact that you cannot live without beliefs, and you are empowered to shift your awareness beyond them. However, if you follow those pseudo-spiritual attitudes that speak poorly of desires and beliefs (for the Buddha didn't teach this at all), you are merely cementing your feet in a heavy block of beliefs instead of transcending them. Humans do not transcend anything. It is your inner self-awareness--your "I AM"--that transcends, not the human personality that does so.
My children, you all possess desires, for without desire there is no human experience at all. Without belief there is no human experience. It is not your human brain that creates thought, but rather it is the Universal Mind. Consciousness Itself is the "Mother" of all creation. This is all very simple to understand when you relax and admit the obvious, just as your Higher Self has done, for this is how it has become "higher" than the human mind, metaphorically speaking.
Unless you are of a mind like the Buddha or Jesus, how on Earth do you think you may understand what these teachers are teaching? You cannot. Yet billions of My children assume that they "know," based on copying the beliefs of other humans who have likewise assumed that they "know." The human being doesn't actually know anything; it is the inner self-awareness, the I AM, that knows that it exists, for that is what "I AM" affirms--existence itself. There is no such thing as "non" or "not," in truth.
Do not seek to deprive yourselves of the pleasures of your creature-hood, for this is not what God wants of you. Deprivation, starvation, is not the Royal Road of Wisdom. Nor is naive indulgence. The Royal Road, the true "Middle Path," is one of even-mindedness, single-mindedness, also known as the Tao, and this path is simply an attitude of following your bliss, which in practical terms means being aware of how you FEEL, allowing yourself to think more clearly and thus FEEL more joyously.
Your desires are thoughts. So are your beliefs. Therefore, remember to honor your thoughts and your feelings for creating your own experience, your personal reality. Remember that "you," the human being, is not the True Creator, and that it is the I AM that is creating your experience. Remember too that your soul is playing a game; it is the actor in its own movie, and this game or movie, if you will, is your experience in creation.
Reclaim the obvious, and you shall reclaim your awareness of your True Power, your True Self. The "obvious" is the Eternal Fact that you exist, and that this existence itself is Eternal and Infinite. There is no beginning, nor is there an end; there is only the Divine NOW. I AM speaking to the I AM that you are, and I AM reminding you of the richness of your spirit. You are all Divine Royalty! Walk the Royal Road of Wisdom through admitting that YOU ARE the "I AM," the Pure Self-identity that needs no name.
Realize the Naked Truth of your being, which is that you exist, and this existence is actually FREE. You cannot buy freedom. You cannot purchase what you already are. As the "I AM," you may still continue to play the part of a "human being," for there is no harm in enjoying creaturehood while being acutely aware that you are actually Consciousness Itself. You are truly free to enjoy your desires and your beliefs when they are in close alignment to your Higher Self. Otherwise, you are not enjoying yourself.
Humans use lack and deprivation because of fear and guilt. Yet I AM showing you a better, higher way! This is the Royal Road, the Royal Way, the Divine Way, the Middle Path, which is realized through calming your attention, learning to perceive all things in a peaceful manner, forgiving yourself of your misaligned choices and accepting the Divine Decision of your Higher Self, which simply states that you are freely given all the love, clarity, joy and bliss that you will ALLOW for yourself (to GIVE as well).
Use your common emotional sense. If something feels "off" to you, then simply do not pursue it; find a thought that feels more aligned to your JOY. Your present-moment feelings are indeed powerful guides. Your JOY is already present in you, AS you, yet you have to decide to be AWARE of it if you are to personally benefit from it. Your spirit is a Spirit of Joy. It is your True Nature to be happy, and when you aren't this simply means that you are asleep to it, that's all. There is no condemnation from Me. :)
You may decide to serve whichever "master" you feel would best serve you. God serves you Unconditional Love. If you recognize the desire Unconditional Love to be the highest and best, you are then positioned "above" all lesser desires, goals and beliefs. To truly "transcend desire and belief," the inner self-awareness must surrender all attachment ("vampirism") to relying upon the intellect for its answers. In other words, you are "losing" your egoic self to "find" your True Self as Oneness Itself.
However, spiritual realization is not separate from your human experience. Your honoring of your creaturehood, your "human existence" (which includes deeply admitting to yourself the "obvious," such as the importance of having desires and beliefs so that you may have "realization")--this acknowledgment is absolutely required for you to advance in your understanding of Who-You-Truly-Are. You cannot know All-That-Is through denying the importance of desires and/or beliefs. Let go of arrogance and accept elegance.
"Believe Powerfully in Your Higher Self!"
The peace of God is yours for the enjoying, provided that you REALIZE that it is in fact ALREADY YOURS, which is awakening from the dream of lack and deprivation that you have made. You cannot possibly "believe nothing," and yet you CAN choose to serve the True Master--your Higher Self--that lovingly serves you. BELIEVE POWERFULLY in your Higher Self, for there is no other way to experience alignment with Who-You-Really-Are. Realize that Who-You-Really-Are is already and always enjoying God's peace. Namaste.
