The Key to Living Your Life's Desire

In Desiderata the inspiration poem by Max Ehrmann there is a word that holds the key to the whole of the poem. If you were to live this one word then you would be able to attain to the highest invitations in life.

It is the one word that the true invitation to Yoga tries to teach and invite you to know. It is the most practical of words but it is a much-misunderstood word. In the West we spend much of our time focused on this word but the way in which we focus on it keeps us from finding the key to a life of purpose, passion and prosperity.

For this Irish mystic storyteller this word is a riddle for most of us. It contains a practice that most everyone in the world worships and which keeps them enslaved. It is according to one modern wisdom teacher the cause of much of the world?s present problems.

If you live what this word invited then you would have stepped into a threshold place. If you lived the total invitation held within this word you would have the potential for what is called self-realisation and this is the experience of true happiness.

Max Ehrmann was a poet. Poets can take words and place them in a context where you are invited into the Deep Hearts Core. The beautiful invitation from Desiderata can be a poem that you simply read or a poem that you can use as a catalyst to becoming the beautiful radiance you are intended to become and to be revealed.

Poetry is not simply some sweet verse or some foreign language that only intellectuals can understand. If you have a hart and you are prepared to allow it to expand into the universal depth of its potential then poetry will, as it is intended bring you alive to your love nature.

So what is that word that if you live you will invoke the power of Desiderata - the list of desires that are at your deep hearts core and not simply something you are invited to acquire in a culture obsessed with the trinkets of never enough.

Lets make this more interesting. You tell me what that one word is from Desiderata and I will give you a full eCourse called Ready to Radiate for FREE. This course invites you to learn to live the invitation that you are here to be in all your glory. Simply email me what you think that one word solution is to

If you went to a real wisdom school this is the word that would be written on the blackboard on the very first day. You would be called back to this word time and time again until you came to the revelation the poem invites. What is this word and why is it a foundational key to the true purpose of your life. More to come.

Desiderata and the Law of Attraction

Jack Cranfield writing in "The Key to the Law of Attraction" writes,

"Take time each day to step away from the clutter and the noise. A daily commitment to spend time in the still, quiet place is a commitment to clarify an inner peace. We need this time and space in our lives in order to remember who we really are, and what's important, and where our personal truth lies. It is time to calm the spirit and soothe the soul. It restores balance in our lives and it reconnects us to our source."

In Desiderata Max Ehrmann invites the same approach.

"Go placidly amidst the haste."

You might spend your time amidst the noise and haste and if you are like most modern Westerners your response is to armour what the mystic poet Mary Oliver calls "the soft animal of your body." You lock yourself out of what the poet David Whyte refers to as "a body in full presence." Another way of saying this is that you feel stressed out.

In order to distress many of us, and I have done this myself begin to self medicate. I self medicated for years on alcohol until it became clear that I was anything but placid and someone heading for a mental breakdown of some kind.

The ways that work for those of us willing to commit to a regular practice are meditation and/or prayer. Jack Cranfield recommends these in his book "The Key to the Law of Attraction."

Out of this practice you have more get up and go but it is not a kind of get up and go that is driven by a go getting personality setting out to prove that they are a winner. It is a get up and go that is alive, focused and in the word used in Desiderata, placid.

Placid means stillness. It means unruffled. It does not mean passivity. You are not invited to go into the noise and haste with a mild mannered kind approach. You are invited to move from the centre. You are centred in your true sense of self while the whirlwind of noise and haste whirls around you.

When I worked in London I took advantage of sitting meditatively in the mediation room of the London Buddhist centre. Usually sometime around midday I would get a real sense of well-being and calmness that I didn?t ever get when I missed sitting. I can say that I went placidly amidst the noise and hats that were the underground tube stations on the way too and from work.

I managed during the day to do the work in a calm and efficient manner and I got to remember and feel what the poet W. B. Yeats calls the peace that comes dropping slow and the peace that is at the deep hearts core. This kind of peace is often listed amidst peoples personal list of desires - their personal Desiderata.

So if you would like to feel more of the peace that comes dropping slow then download my Deep Hearts Core podcast that invites you to feel the peace of the infinite peace and to allow you to feel the real Law of Attraction and the real attractiveness within you. Simple click on the words Deep Hearts core and you will arrive at the beginning of a journey of destiny and fulfil your personal Desiderata.
