Searching the Law of One for desire gives an interesting sample: desire to be of service, desire for healing, desire for knowledge, desire to communicate...
Thanks for including the searching link, βαθμιαίος. It is always helpful to search LOO info, but I seldom think to go do it.
Interesting that the very first Q/A that pops up summarizes what I understand Gemini Wolf & Confused to have been saying about desire:
73.11 Questioner: Desire and will are the factors in this process. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We would add one quality. In the magical personality desire, will, and polarity are the keys.
I read that as achieving balance - which could be another desire. The desire to achieve balance.
And in reading this exchange it seems that "desire" and "will" might be interchangeable. What do you think?
73.4 Questioner: What I was trying to get at was that this alerting of light strength is, as I see it, a process that must be totally a function of free will, as you say, and as the desire and will and purity of desire of the adept increases, the alerting of light strength increases. Is this part of it the same for both the positive and negative potentials and am I correct with this statement?
Ra: I am Ra. To avoid confusion we shall simply restate for clarity your correct assumption.
Those who are upon the service-to-others path may call upon the light strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve. Those upon the service-to-self path may call upon the dark strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.
