If we weren't infinite

[anagogy]

If we weren't infinite, we could not or would not exist.
This realization came to me recently.

I think it comes to the holographic piece containing the whole.

So it might be silly to want anything, or to want to be anything.
Because we are already everything.

I think you are absolutely correct about that, but we can't really help believing whatever we believe (it is just so vivid and apparent to us), and thus the distortion called "desire" will continue to appear so long as we believe, on some level of our beings, that we are not, and do not, already embody all things. Alternatively, we could also say, if we do desire things then we know that our belief that we are infinite and thus already have everything, is less than 100% pure. Which is fine, it is merely the natural play of raw spirit, or creative energy, to entertain these temporal illusions, shadows, or dancing lights (however you like to conceptualize them).

It seems we often tend to have lots of intellectual realizations about these metaphysical and cosmological truths that we do not fully believe in our hearts (or subconscious minds if you prefer), and thus while all distortions arise from this fundamental limitation in viewpoint, we are still captivated and entranced by them despite the conscious realization. It takes a relatively long period of time for these deep realizations to sink down in to the hearts of our mind/body/spirit complexes. This factor makes it seem like we create our realities somewhat slowly (which is something I used to believe -- that it takes a long time for physical reality to reflect our thoughts -- like it is some kind of metaphysical molasses). But in actuality, I have since come to understand that we are effortlessly, and instantaneously, creating our realities at all times. The slowness by which reality seems to congeal about us in this plane has more to do with the slowness of our ability to completely accept a new thought-form/belief/perspective system at a deep level of our being. It is a limitation of our present state of evolution (or understanding), rather than a limitation imposed on physical realities' ability to change rapidly.

And thus, our beliefs usually change only very slowly -- the surface conscious acknowledgement happening somewhat rapidly -- the heart of being accepting the realization only after a considerable amount of spiritual digestion.

So to some extent, in regard to the human condition, we are stuck with our desires until either the ego is extinguished completely, or the desires are explored and satiated. One is removing resistance by slowing down the momentum of self, and the other is reducing resistance by removing the obstacles to movement or expression of self. I think it is worth noting that we often incorrectly assume that there is only one particular way to satiate our desires but in reality there are many experiences in this world that will "do the job", as it were, unless the desires are abnormally highly charged and abnormally specific. These alternate pathways of what we might term "balancing experiences" can begin to find their way into our conscious reality if we but only open ourselves up to them by releasing our death-grip on resistant thoughts and perspectives. The universe is filled to the brim with powerful and creative resources that we have nary a conception of.

Often the "spirit" of the experience is much more satisfying than the physical characteristics them-self. It is what our desires are, in truth, actually yearning for.
