Desirelessness and Inner Wholeness
We live in a state of society, in a human condition, where wanting is quite ubiquitous. Everybody wants something. Everybody is going somewhere, achieving something, becoming somebody. But ultimately, what most people are doing is fulfilling a void, escaping their insufficiency. They want to be somebody because there is an inner poverty.
The individual who is radiating godliness, who is in absolute ecstatic love and benevolence, is not running from here to there to be somebody. They do not have a want in the same way. That want is usually a way of making up for that lack inwardly, that spiritual poverty within. When there is heart, when there is light, we do not have that same tendency to run around.
There is such a thing as being true to yourself. The individual who is being true to themselves, acting in the world perhaps with great zest, with fervent passion, is not necessarily in a state of want. They are simply inspired. They are simply being true to themselves.
Imagine a rose blooming in the spring. It wants nothing, and yet it is acting at the atomic, molecular level with great power and intelligence to turn into its colors, bloom, and create these perfect petals that are of profound biological complexity. Or a tree that grows into a giant being. It does not want anything, but it is being true to itself. It has this poise and equanimity about it, this harmony about it.
A state of wanting tends to be a form of resistance against what is because there is not an effulgent light, love, or completeness that one is living in inwardly. When we have this completeness, those wants go away, and what is left is integrity. What is left is being true to oneself. What is left is inspiration, not motivation.
Motivation is a fulfillment, an attempt to get something out of your actions. But the one who is in love does not try to get things out of their actions. Their actions are an expression of their wholeness, an expression of their love.
Everybody can recognize this quite well. The sage, the benevolent individual, the person in a state of love, harmony, and peace, sits there not with ambition on their face, but with the benevolence of acceptance and being what they are. It does not mean that they do nothing with their lives. They are like that great tree that continues to grow as an expression of its own nature, but not as a psychological fulfillment of some sort of insufficiency.
This is the desirelessness I am talking about: to go beyond want. When will we stop wanting and start loving what we are and who we are, and what each of us is and who each of us is in any moment?
Then love becomes an impetus for action, for development, for cultivation. Why start a business? Because you are hungry for money and power? No. Start a business because you have so much coming through you that it just has to be expressed, like that tree, like that flower. There are so many people you can touch and bring into greater states of consciousness and happiness through that work.
Desirelessness is a deep state that can happen now. Most people say that one day they might achieve it. Why one day?
When one sees the fact that wanting is a state of insufficiency and resistance, and that the wanting itself is the cause of the insufficiency, then change can happen. When one is in a habit of seeking outside of themselves, they cannot discover their richness inside.
What makes our heart open? What makes the light illuminate and become present in it with brilliance? It is surrender. It is the surrendering of all those machinations of self.
Want nothing for yourself. Then you can sit and see the beauty of the ocean, actually see the sunset, and actually see your grandchild and their soul, or your wife or husband, or your student. As long as there is want, there is a filter of agenda, turning everything into a means to an end.
If somebody has want, they ask how this gets them what they want. If somebody has no wants, they are simply unfolding through time according to their integrity, and their destiny will reveal itself from moment to moment. They do not want anything. They love what is.
This is a teaching that has echoed through a myriad of spiritual traditions across millennia because it is a fundamental truth of the human condition. We see it in life. We see it in films. The villain usually wants something. They have to have it. The hero is whole.
When we see that those desires are the very thing that causes us not to feel whole and complete, then it is easy in that moment, in that seeing, to make the change now.
From a practical standpoint, there is nothing impractical about this. Some of the greatest creators and wealthiest individuals, either monetarily or in proportion to the degree to which they serve society, have had this state inside of them.
What does it take to be a Martin Luther King and speak the truth? He had a heart. He was saying something. When I see him, I see him being in truth and letting that truth work on society. You can feel that. He was speaking from a wholeness and a love. Only the individual who has love in their heart can speak of loving others and truly mean it.
This state is intrinsic to the artist. An artist cannot want anything but to be what they are and let that express itself as it must. Then our impetus for action becomes: being what I am, how can I attend to the greater whole? But there is no want there.
Surrender and Spiritual Tradition
So many people seem so busy. They cannot just sit and be with themselves because it would be painful for them. But that is not the actual underlying state. That is just an intermediate imposition on what we are. We are love. We are ecstasy and wholeness. It is that state of love that is the great gift of our own being.
When we meditate, we move into a state of desirelessness. The degree of desirelessness that we embody will be indicated by the depths of light that we experience, our ability to sit still and feel content with simply existing, until we are no longer aware of our existence because we have submerged into it so completely.
Desirelessness is a part of Buddhism. It is a part of Zen. It is a part of yoga. It is emphasized in different ways in different religions. Shabbat is very much an embodiment of this practice.
Desirelessness. The word has power.
Look at all the people in the world, and they all want something. Then you see that one sparkling jewel, and they want nothing. That one individual feeds the world, which is thirsty for spiritual sustenance.
There are so many things involved in this. We are approaching this teaching from the perspective of desirelessness, but you could approach it through integrity. You could approach it through love. You could approach it through service. You could approach it through truth. You could approach it through freedom. All of these things point to the same thing.
Nature must continue. Breathing, blood moving, chemical reactions, the sun and the earth moving through space. These things do not stop in desirelessness.
The tree does not stop because it is dispassionate. The tree simply is dispassionate, and because it is dispassionate, you cut off its branch and it just keeps growing. You put a building right there, and it grows around it. It completely acts in a way that is true to itself, no matter what the conditions. It wants nothing, and because of that, the tree has a kind of love.
It does not mean you do not fight for truth. In the Bhagavad Gita, there is a story about a war. The prophet tells the student, “You must go to war and fight because that is your dharma.” There is this paradox in that you must fight. It is not that we stop. It is that we act in recognition of the true nature of what we are.
A six-year-old can see this. That person is hungry for ambition, and we do not feel comfortable around them. That other person does not want anything for themselves, and they have a twinkle in their eye. You can sense that.
The meditator sits down and generates love, and they become so sufficient and whole in their being that when they look upon another, they have no agenda. When they look upon a situation, they have no agenda. When they express themselves, they do so without any filter. It all is love and intelligence, not sloppy.
Dharma and Inspired Action
There is a gravity. We are pulled together because of what we are. We come together in this dispassion because of complementary energetic states.
What is sangha? Sangha is a particular spiritual kind, but any community is ultimately founded upon a shared resonance and a shared recognition that there is something between individuals that they are supposed to be doing, something they have in common. Families come together. Perhaps incarnations happen in this way as well, where the love between members of a family is a recognition of our having a dharmic destiny together, a journey together.
But all of that is not really rewarding unless we can be in the moment and say that this moment is what matters. That is where we connect, through the moment. There is a sense of not wanting in that.
We cannot stop acting. Even if somebody were just to sit down and do nothing, they are doing something. What we do is somewhat independent from wanting. Desirelessness can be there during action. That is the point.
You are not doing something necessarily because you want something, because you are hungry, or because you are ambitious. You are doing it because you feel it is a part of your purpose, and you are simply reading that purpose off the Akashic fabric of existence right now. You are reading it. It is in the book of yourself.
That is not desire and ambition. That is more like dharma and inspiration.
Is it a desire, or is it a feeling that if you do not act in that way, you are betraying the truth? This is a difference. One can recognize that if they do not do this thing, it just does not feel right. It is not a matter of wanting and being attached to a condition. It is a matter of acting in the moment on behalf of your true nature. This is what I mean by being true to yourself.
The person who does something inconsistent with their true nature recognizes that they are betraying their true nature. If something is your true nature, then perhaps you are actually adharmic, meaning you are not acting on dharma, by not doing it.
Dharma means truth, or it means duty. Duty is perhaps a far more appropriate interpretation of the word here. Your duty, you must heed.
That is different from desire. There is a fundamental desire, I suppose, but it is not really a desire, not in the way I have been using the word. It is to live out your duty, the dharma. You always know when you are not doing it, which is what I mean by being true to yourself.
Desire means that somebody feels that without the results, they are incomplete. Duty means that without engaging in this direction, they feel untrue to themselves. It is different.
While you are engaging in that, there is no sense of incompleteness. You are full-on inspiration. You are full-on the feeling that you are in the right place, in the right direction, doing the right thing with the right people. That is what life is about.
We are supposed to come together and do in space and time while being dispassionate outside of space and time. Every moment of doing is fulfilling.
The first grader does not have his degree yet, but it is fulfilling when he is a first grader, a fifth grader, a senior, a graduate student, and ultimately a PhD. Then he is still not done. He keeps going past the PhD, and it is just a life of study in a particular field.
He does not feel that he will only be happy when he has his PhD. The correct attitude is that he is happy because he is getting his PhD, even if he still has fifteen years left.
This is something to contemplate, and it is subtle. Every time we give our attention to the teaching, we inwardly gain a greater comprehension of this subtlety, which is at the heart of so many spiritual practices. But who cares if it is at the heart of a spiritual practice? One can recognize in themselves that this is a key to happiness.
What is life about? We have to figure out what to do and why to do it while we are here. Who do we do it with? These are very important questions.
Most people are so ambitious and so busy. Busy can be okay in context, but one must also be able to stop. A workaholic is a problem. Somebody who is obsessively social cannot stop, is always doing something, and has no space in their time to just feel the evening, light some incense, smell the roses, make a dinner quietly, read a book, or take a day off for quiet study. This spaciousness should be a part of us.
Otherwise, we can get caught up in a kind of insufficiency, which ultimately is a form of escape from insufficiency. Once we stop escaping, we can start to feel that there is only love and being and ecstasy and bliss, and ultimately light, which is inside of us.
Desirelessness means that when you are in a difficult situation and life circumstances are not easy, you just be in that, and it unfolds into a new state. States never stay the same. We could be in an absolute utopia. That is the peak. When the peak comes, then we go down. This is the nature of transience.
But you must yoke yourself to the thing beyond the wave of crests and peaks.
Meditation and Desirelessness
Bring attention to the heart center, into our hearts. Generate love in the heart so we may be whole and complete.
We need nothing for ourselves beyond what we are.
Feel that when we surrender, love arises. Simple.
It is easy to become a product of society. It is a mass mental state of the world, especially if you expose yourself to the world. But we can feel a different possibility, a conscious state.
Give your attention to the light now. Give up all desires. Want nothing, and be the light.
Stay present. Bring your attention to the evening. Feel the world, the moment within which it exists.
Reflections on Meditation and Healing
What desirelessness does for us is that it actually heals us. Desire is a burden. Desirelessness is healing because we no longer impose upon ourselves this resistance to what is in our body, in our mind, and in our spirit.

Desirelessness and Inner Wholeness
Adam Wes Namaste, everybody.
For the sermon today, I'd like to talk about desirelessness. I like your face, Ariella.
Desirelessness.
It seems we live in a state of society, in a human condition, where wanting is quite ubiquitous. Everybody wants something. Everybody's going somewhere. They're going that way, they're going that way. Everybody's so busy going somewhere, achieving something, becoming somebody.
But ultimately, what most people are doing when they're doing that, and there's a subtle nuance here that we'll be discussing today, is fulfilling a void, escaping their insufficiency. They want to be somebody because there's an inner poverty.
The individual that is radiating godliness, who is in absolute ecstatic love and benevolence, isn't running from here to there to be somebody. They don't have a want in the same way. That want is usually a way of making up for that lack inwardly, that spiritual poverty within.
When there's heart, when there's light, we don't have that same tendency to run around.
Okay, I was going to get to this nuance a little later, but I feel like I should say it now. There is such a thing as being true to yourself. So the individual who's being true to themselves, acting in the world perhaps with great zest, with fervent passion, isn't necessarily in a state of want in the same way. They're simply inspired. They're simply being true to themselves.
Imagine a rose blooming in the spring. It wants nothing, and yet it's acting at the atomic, molecular level with great power and intelligence to turn into its colors and bloom and create these perfect petals that are of profound biological complexity.
Or a tree that grows into a giant being. It doesn't want anything, but it's being true to itself. It has this poise and equanimity about it, this harmony about it.
A state of wanting tends to be a form of resistance against what is because there isn't an effulgent light, love, or completeness that one is living in inwardly. See, when we have this completeness, those wants go away, and what's left is integrity. What's left is being true to oneself. What's left is inspiration, not motivation.
The motivation is a fulfillment, to get something out of your actions. But the one who's in love doesn't try to get things out of their actions. Their actions are an expression of their wholeness, an expression of their love.
I think everybody can recognize this quite well. The sage, the benevolent individual, the person in a state of love, harmony, and peace, sits there not with ambition on their face, but with the benevolence of acceptance and being what they are.
It doesn't mean that they do nothing with their lives. They're like that great tree that continues to grow as an expression of its own nature, but not as a psychological fulfillment of some sort of insufficiency.
This is the desirelessness I'm talking about: to go beyond want. When will we stop wanting and start loving what we are and who we are, and what each of us is and who each of us is in any moment?
Then love becomes an impetus for action, for development, for cultivation. Why start a business? Because you're hungry for money and power? No. Start a business because you have so much coming through you that it just has to be expressed, like that tree, like that flower. There are so many people you can touch and bring into greater states of consciousness and happiness through that work.
So desirelessness is a deep state that can happen now. Most people say, "Okay, well, one day. One day I might achieve that."
Why one day?
When one sees the fact that wanting is a state of insufficiency and resistance, and that the wanting itself is the cause of the insufficiency, then change can happen. When one is in a habit of seeking outside of themselves, they cannot discover their richness inside.
What makes our heart open? What makes the light illuminate and become present in it with brilliance? It's surrender. It is the surrendering of all those machinations of self.
Want nothing for yourself. Then you can sit and see the beauty of the ocean, actually see the sunset, and actually see your grandchild and their soul, or your wife or husband, or your student. As long as there's want, there is a filter of agenda, turning everything into a means to an end.
If somebody has want, they say, "Well, how does this get me what I want?"
If somebody has no wants, they say, "I'm just unfolding through time according to my integrity, and my destiny will reveal itself from moment to moment. I don't want anything. I love what is."
This is a teaching that has echoed through a myriad of spiritual traditions across millennia because it's a fundamental truth to the human condition. We see it in life. We see it in films. The villain usually wants something. They have to have it. The hero is whole.
So when we see that those desires are the very thing that causes us not to feel whole and complete, then it's easy in that moment, in that seeing, to make the change now.
From a practical standpoint, there's nothing impractical about this. In fact, some of the greatest creators and wealthiest individuals, either monetarily or in proportion to the degree to which they serve society, have had this state inside of them.
What does it take to be a Martin Luther King and speak the truth? He had a heart. He was saying something. Did he want to change? When I see him, I see him being in truth and letting that truth work on society. You can feel that. He was speaking from a wholeness and a love.
"We must love these people," he said, right? Something along those lines.
Only the individual who has love in their heart can say something like that and truly mean it.
Steve Jobs, and I could name many, many entrepreneurs, were just being who they are, being true to themselves. This state is intrinsic to the artist. An artist cannot want anything but to be what they are and let that express itself as it must.
Then our impetus for action becomes, "Being what I am, how can I attend to the greater whole?" But there's no want there.
So, desirelessness. Try to reach into that possibility.
Surrender and Spiritual Tradition
So many people seem so busy. They go out on Friday night. They're so busy that they can't just sit and be with themselves because it would be painful for them. But that's not the actual underlying state. That's just an intermediate imposition on what we are. We are love. We are ecstasy and wholeness. It's that state of love that is the great gift of our own being.
So when we meditate, we move into a state of desirelessness. The degree of desirelessness that we embody will be indicated by the depths of light that we experience, our ability to sit still and feel content with simply existing, until we're no longer aware of our existence because we have submerged into it so completely.
Questions? Comments?
Buddhism.
Colleen Well said, Adam.
Adam Wes Thank you. Thanks, Mom.
It's a part of Buddhism. It's a part of Zen. It's a part of yoga. This is emphasized in different ways in different religions. Shabbat is very much an embodiment of this practice.
Desirelessness. The word has power.
Look at all the people in the world, and they all want something. Then you see that one sparkling jewel, and they want nothing. That one individual feeds the world, which is thirsty for spiritual sustenance.
Ariella?
AriellaShira L What you're saying really resonates with me. Not that I'm working on that, but I now have a question from the Higher Self of my grandchild, to get out her prebirth message. So that isn't about me. It's about her.
Adam Wes I don't think it's even about her. It's just truth. Why does she want that? She doesn't want that to aggrandize herself. She's simply being a true expression of what she is.
There are so many things involved in this. We're approaching this teaching from the perspective of desirelessness, but you could approach it through integrity. You could approach it through love. You could approach it through service. You could approach it through truth. You could approach it through freedom. All of these things kind of point to the same thing.
Nature must continue. Breathing, blood moving, chemical reactions, the sun and the earth moving through space. These things don't stop in desirelessness.
The tree doesn't stop because it's dispassionate. The tree simply is dispassionate, and because it's dispassionate, you cut off its branch and it just keeps growing. You put a building right there, and it grows around it. It completely acts in a way that's true to itself, no matter what the conditions. It wants nothing, and because of that, the tree has a kind of love.
It doesn't mean you don't fight for truth. In the Bhagavad Gita, there's a beautiful story. Is it a beautiful story? It's kind of heavy, and it's also symbolic and metaphoric, but it's about a war. He says, "You must go to war and fight because that is your dharma." This is what the prophet is saying to the student.
There's this paradox in that you must fight. So it's not that we stop. It's that we act in recognition of the true nature of what we are.
I'm speaking right now. Why? Is there want? Ideally, there is no want, and I'm simply speaking because it was time to speak about this. I didn't decide. I decided inasmuch as I am an embodiment in time and space, this individual at this particular time, but the me that's outside of time and space didn't decide. It recognized the necessity.
We have a small group here. Why are we talking about this? I'm not even sure. It just came through. It's the right thing right now.
Do you want to add any more? I apologize if I interrupted too soon.
AriellaShira L Thank you, Adam.
Adam Wes Yeah. Just keep in mind how you can recognize this so plainly. A six-year-old can see this.
"Oh, that person's hungry for ambition. I don't know if I feel comfortable around them. Oh, that person doesn't want anything for themselves, and they have a twinkle in their eye."
You can sense that.
So the meditator sits down and generates love, and they become so sufficient and whole in their being that when they look upon another, they have no agenda. When they look upon a situation, they have no agenda. When they express themselves, they do so without any filter. It all is love and intelligence, not sloppy.
Dharma and Inspired Action
Colleen So, is Ariella's love for her granddaughter enough? Is that what you're saying? You don't have to do anything? It just is there?
Adam Wes Well, she should perhaps get to work and get the message out. Is that your nature? Is that the dharma? Is that the truth? Can you recognize it?
You're not doing it necessarily because you want something, because you're hungry, or because you're ambitious. You're doing it because you feel it's a part of your purpose, and you're simply reading that purpose off the Akashic fabric of existence right now. You're reading it. It's in the book of yourself.
That's not desire and ambition. That's more like dharma and inspiration.
AriellaShira L She told me that before I was born, we met and agreed to be together in this world, and that I would help them.
Colleen So, being together in this world the way you are, because we don't know anybody else, you are, by not doing anything and not wanting anything, we just pull toward you because of who you are. Is that sort of what you're saying, Adam?
Adam Wes There's a gravity. We're pulled together because of what we are. I think we come together in this dispassion. There's a tendency to come together because of complementary energetic states.
In other words, what is sangha? Sangha is a particular spiritual kind, but any community is ultimately founded upon a shared resonance and a shared recognition that there's something between individuals that they're supposed to be doing, something they have in common.
People who like Star Trek get together, and they just get it. They're like, "Yeah, I like that. It means something to me." You don't have to explain it to anybody, so they come together.
Families come together. Perhaps incarnations happen in this way as well, where the love between members of a family is a recognition of us having a dharmic destiny together, a journey together.
But all of that is not really rewarding unless we can be in the moment and say, "This moment is what matters." That's where we connect, through the moment. There's a sense of not wanting in that.
But then we also give. We cannot stop acting, right? Even if somebody were just to sit down and do nothing, they're doing something. So what we do is somewhat independent from wanting. Desirelessness can be there during action. That's the point.
Does that answer your question?
AriellaShira L Yeah.
Adam Wes I'm not sure if I got your question exactly, or if that was what you meant.
AriellaShira L I think so, yeah. I like what you said about desirelessness, but I have this desire to get this message out.
Adam Wes Is it a desire, or is it a feeling that if you don't act in that way, you're betraying the truth? This is a difference.
AriellaShira L That I'm betraying the truth, that I'm not meeting what I was asked to do.
Adam Wes Betraying the actions of love.
So one can recognize, "If I don't do this thing, it just doesn't feel right. If I don't get married and have kids, for example, then something in me is not right."
It's not a matter of wanting and being attached to a condition. It's a matter of acting in the moment on behalf of your true nature. This is what I mean by being true to yourself.
The person who does something that's inconsistent with their true nature, that's not a desire. That's a recognition of betraying one's true nature.
If your true nature is to get out that message, then perhaps you're actually adharmic, meaning you're not acting on dharma by not doing it.
Dharma means truth, or it means duty. Actually, that's another way, and maybe that's a far more appropriate interpretation or translation of the word right now. Your duty, you must heed.
That's different from desire. See, there's a fundamental desire, I suppose, but it's not really a desire, not in the way I've been using the word. It is to live out your duty, the dharma.
You always know when you're not doing it, which is what I mean by "be true to yourself."
Desire means that somebody feels that without the results, they're incomplete. Duty means, "Without engaging in this direction, I feel untrue to myself." It's different.
While you're engaging in that, there's no sense of incompleteness. You're full-on inspiration. You're full-on the feeling that you are in the right place, in the right direction, doing the right thing with the right people. That's what life's about.
We're supposed to come together and do in space and time while being dispassionate outside of space and time. Every moment of doing is fulfilling.
The first grader doesn't have his degree yet, but it's fulfilling when he's a first grader, a fifth grader, a senior, a graduate student, and ultimately a PhD. Then he's still not done. He keeps going past the PhD, and it's just a life of study in a particular field.
He doesn't feel like, "I'll only be happy when I have my PhD." That's not the correct attitude. The correct attitude is, "I'm happy because I'm getting my PhD, and I still maybe have 15 years left."
If you're in first grade, I guess you'd have more than 15.
So this is something to contemplate, and it's subtle. Every time we give our attention to the teaching, we inwardly gain a greater comprehension of this subtlety, which is at the heart of so many spiritual practices.
Who cares if it's at the heart of a spiritual practice? One can recognize in themselves that this is a key to happiness.
What is life about? Well, we have to figure out what to do and why to do it while we're here. Who do we do it with? These are very important questions.
Most people are so ambitious and so busy. When I say busy, busy can be okay in context, but one must also be able to stop.
A workaholic is a problem. Somebody who is obsessively social can't stop, is always doing something, and has no space in their time to just feel the evening, light some incense, smell the roses, make a dinner quietly, read a book, or take a day off for quiet study. This spaciousness should be a part of us.
Otherwise, we can get caught up in a kind of insufficiency, which ultimately is a form of escape from insufficiency.
Once we stop escaping, we can start to feel, "Oh, there is only love and being and ecstasy and bliss, and ultimately light, which is inside of us."
So the light is that state.
All right, let's get going. Let's go to some light.
I just can't imagine not sharing something like this with friends and family in sangha. It's such an important thing. I hope you guys consider it. There are so many implications in this. Trust, right?
Desirelessness. You're in a difficult situation. Life circumstances are not easy. Well, you just be in that, and it unfolds into a new state. States never stay the same.
We could be in an absolute utopia. That's the peak. When the peak comes, then we go down. This is the nature of transience.
But you must yoke yourself to the thing beyond the wave of crests and peaks.
All right.
Meditation and Desirelessness
Bring attention to the heart center, into our hearts. Generate love in the heart so we may be whole and complete.
We need nothing for ourselves beyond what we are.
Feel that when we surrender, love arises.
Simple.
A heads-up: keep your head up. It's easy to become a product of society. It's a mass mental state of the world, especially if you expose yourself to the world.
When we listen to this music, with its echoes of the past, we can hear a different possibility, a conscious state.
Give your attention to the light now. Give up all desires. Want nothing, and be the light.
Make sure to stay present.
Bring your attention to the evening. Feel the world, the moment within which it exists.
Namaste.
Alexa, lights on.
How was your meditation?
Reflections on Meditation and Healing
Colleen It was wonderful. I really needed it. I couldn't keep my eyes open at the end of your talking, and then I just went nice and deeply into it. Then my computer dinged because the battery was going to run out of charge, so it woke me up for a bit.
Adam Wes Oh, yeah. You had to rebuild the momentum? Alexa, corner light on.
How about your meditation?
Colleen It was wonderful. I really went into this peace, so peaceful. I started off with a peach color, and then kind of a sunset, I guess. But peach is new.
Adam Wes Peach feels like there's an element of pink in the peach, which is very healing.
Colleen Thank you.
Adam Wes Pink is a very healing energetic color. Peach is kind of like orange meets pink, especially in the sunset colors that you're describing. It's a peach gradient. Very warm, like a gold healing.
Colleen Very good.
Adam Wes That's wonderful.
What desirelessness does for us is that it actually heals us. Desire is a burden. Desirelessness is healing because we no longer impose upon ourselves this resistance to what is in our body, in our mind, and in our spirit.
Colleen Well, thanks. It felt really good. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Your talk was wonderful too.
Adam Wes Oh, good. I'm so glad.
Colleen I wish more people were here to hear it.
Adam Wes Yeah, well, in time. It's not time yet.
Colleen Thank you, Adam.
Adam Wes You're welcome. Namaste. Thank you for being here.
How about you, Ariella? Then we're done in a minute. Oh, you're muted.
AriellaShira L There we go. It was a wonderful meditation. I was able to spend a lot of the time in enlightened love. There were some times when I left that, but I don't know where I was. Then I'd come back to the light and the love.
Adam Wes Beautiful.
AriellaShira L Yes, it was a very beautiful meditation. Thank you, Adam.
Adam Wes You're welcome.
Remember, you guys can review on our private page. We have a private page with notes, quotes, and review. You can revisit many of these things. Sometimes going over it one time isn't enough, so that's available to you.
Namaste, everybody. Thank you. I'll see you next time. Thanks for being here.
Colin Namaste, Adam.
