Dharma Meets DesireDharma Meets Desire

acting on your true desires gives midlife the meaningful direction you've been missing.

Overextended, emotionally tired, disconnected?
Feeling guilty because you've got the job, the family, the social circle, the status...
and you still aren't happy?
You don't have to spend another day unsatisfied.

If you will assume your desire and live there as though it were true, no power on Earth can stop it from becoming a fact.
Neville Goddard
The Path of 14 Coils

You've never thought about your desires
Quite like this.

We are taught that to desire something is to be weak or ungrateful. Nothing could be further from the truth. Denying your desires is a waste of the life you have been given. Only through a deep knowing of all of your heart's desires in every facet of life can you achieve your dharma — your life's true calling.

The 14 Coils of Desire: an architecture of aliveness. A serpent winding through fourteen labelled loops — sensory and self, identity and presentation, expressive and erotic, intimate, belonging and access, vocational, material and environmental, civic and existential.

On Our Best Behavior: The Price Women Pay to Be Good

by Elise Loehnen

What if the "sins" women are taught to suppress—lust, greed, pride, anger, rest, appetite, ambition—are actually gateways to wholeness?

In On Our Best Behavior, Elise Loehnen unpacks the ancient Seven Deadly Sins and reveals how they became a modern script for keeping women agreeable, self-denying, and "good." Blending cultural history, feminism, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, she asks: What might become possible if we stopped performing goodness and started choosing aliveness?
