Why do anything?

[Diana]

We do things mainly because we want to or we're somehow coerced into doing it, the latter is a necessity of 3D existence though it can be minimized, but why do we do the former? Our interests and desires can change quickly and we follow them so long as they make us a feel satisfied, but where do they come from? We spend our whole lives following desires we don't understand the cause of and nature of. What if we did absolutely nothing and refused to follow any desire?

I see nothing wrong with desire basically, as it is needed, I think, in manifesting or creating.

To be clear about our purpose and intentions, would help define where our desires are coming from.

I think to evolve, we need to deal with what is in our selves. So, to refuse to follow desire may circumvent things we need to resolve or attend to. On the other hand, if this state is arrived at naturally, where desires just drop off and eventually are not there, then perhaps we lighten to the point where we no longer need to be here, except for service (but that would also be a desire).

Desire can be of a higher purpose, such as volunteering to come here at this time of great change to assist in some way.

So, in my opinion, the clearer we can be about our intentions, the more we can understand desires and where they come from.

One example: a new car. If we desire a new car to impress our friends because of a lack of self-esteem, then we have an opportunity to recognize that we need healing in that area. If we desire the new car because we buy into society's version of success, then we have an opportunity to recognize that we are giving our power away to arbitrary standards outside of ourselves. But we may desire the new car in line with our higher intentions: fits with our intentions of choosing a necessary device which is environmentally friendly (intention to be here and cause no harm while assisting), and fits with our intention to raise our level of joy which will add to the overall joy on the planet, and fits with the intention that we already share our wealth and this is a gift to our self.
