Should we Not Want?

[Minyatur]

I think the key is to want without expectations.

I love this.

I can draw a parallel in relationships - when one really desires to understand someone, but has no expectations or specific wants of who they should be. Therefore you don't project in the other person an already formed picture of who you want them to be. In this way you have a completely open mind, ready to receive communication head on. You can truly listen to what they have to say and therefore achieve your highest desire which is to understand them.

I think expectations are somewhat nodes in the energy field, having a weight of their own, always rooted in blockages of fear, doubt and such, always distorting what could be free love expressed.

In couples it is seen often when a relationship ends. What seemed positive before in having its expectations honored, turns out to be expressed more negatively once the expectations are broken. You see people wishing the one they loved most ill, curse them literally for having found a limit to attending their need of them (someone who could've just really not have been them) and so on. In the timeless nature of things, things don't actually need to go sour for these things to be there, they simply are, and in time and through the cycles they get their moment of expression to move from being with them (blockages, even when not made apparent by catalyst) toward being truly free of their weight. I'd add that I don't think it's bad to have them, I think it is natural and what the densities do, in lower densities we accumulate biases to live something uniquely complex as Creator and , as we resolve this unique complexity we sought for, we offer the gift of the same to ourselves found in others. First in a very unconscious manner but as we move upward then it becomes in a more and more conscious fashion, yet always offering the same service which neither requires to be conscious or unconscious to be delivered but the unity of them both together.

This can be extrapolated to one's relationship to the Creation itself, helping one to stay unconditionally present.  

I think so too, but I'd add that one's relationship to Creation (parts and whole) is an abstraction of one's relationship with one's own self.
