SPIRITUALITY
The Will-To-Do
A teaching about manifesting your Heart’s Desire
I am sitting at my son’s graduation, waiting for the ceremony to begin. The graduates, dressed in their best, don their robes, excitement in all their faces. My son is with his friends drinking champagne back in the parking garage.
DISCIPLE: Yama, I had a powerful dream last night. I awoke from it weeping.
YAMA: What was it? Tell me the best that you can, as dreams have a way of being very slippery.
DISCIPLE: What I can remember was that some organization (government, perhaps?) had me standing in front of a screen. Others were crowded around me to observe what I could do. Images began to flash on the screen. Then I was asked to control the images. The images seemed to flash uncontrollably, until I started to wave my hands in a helix configuration, from top to bottom. Faster and faster, I waved my arms in that snake-like movement. The images began to be controlled until they stopped, and there I saw children doing all manner of silly things, and adults as well. And I said to the observers: “How strange are humans. But how I love them all!” And then I just burst out in a weeping that increased in magnitude until it woke me up in tears.
