The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants

In this predicament, the question arises: how can one discern whether their desires are genuine, beneficial, or aesthetically pleasing?

Consider this: if the core of your being, your essence, is not in optimal health, compromised by poor choices, or affected by the actions of others, how can you ascertain the truth? The answer lies in the fact that your essence is damaged. Consequently, whatever your essence desires may be detrimental to both you and others. Your essence seeks solace, pleasure, love, or diversion from the damage. Healing is not an automatic process for your essence.

This presents a dilemma.

However, suppose you are aware of the state of your essence and are cautious about your desires and decisions. This is a prudent step, but you remain in a quandary. Now, you must evaluate whether the decisions and desires you have are genuine, beneficial, or aesthetically pleasing. How can you achieve this? From whom do you seek input? Whose voice do you listen to? Even if positive, genuine, or aesthetically pleasing voices resonate within your life, how can your essence discern the truth?

Furthermore, suppose you recognize that your essence is not in optimal health, that you cannot rely on every decision or desire, and that you are uncertain about how to discern good, genuine, or aesthetically pleasing. In such a situation, you may realize that you require healing or perhaps a complete transformation of your essence.

What then? How do you acquire a better, healthier, or new essence? How do you attain health and wholeness? Your essence desires what it desires.

And that is the inherent dilemma.
