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.

Living as Love in Action

As an Irish Mystic Storyteller I invite you to live the unique story that you have come here to live and to be. You came into this world as the dance of Love in form.

What has happened to you since? You have been told stories that have blinded you to your true nature. If you are reading this article then you are interested in a story that helps you to become a seer and a visionary for your life?s Work (not necessarily your job or career). This is the great invitation from the short story that is contained in the poem by Max Ehrmann entitled Desiderata ? meaning, ?list of desires.?

The list of desires that you are invited to experience within your culture will eventually make you listless. Everyday you are bombarded by messages that tell you that you need this product in order to fit in, in order that you look beautiful, in order to be the right shape, in order to ad infinitum.

In this way you become addicted. You become addicted to a way of life based in a log list of desires that you become enslaved too. Much of what passes for work in our modern world is a form of slavery in which you mortgage your life force for some future promise of happiness.

This article and the invitation that is Desiderata is a different kind of story and the invitation to a very different way of living and being in the world. It is a way of freedom that allows you to go and become the beauty you are here to be.

A desideratum promotes Love in Action. This is the meaning of the opening invitation ?go placidly.? In those two words you have the full movement of creation. In those two words you have the possibility of the dance you can become. You have the masculine principle represented by the word ?go.? You have the feminine principle held in the word ?placidly.? These two are the creative dance of energy in form. You are that dance.

Most of us are on the go. Our days and our nights are filled with the doing of our lives. Many of us are addicted to our work. It is an addiction that is culturally approved. We invite our young people to become addicts to the work ethic without any awareness of what it is to do real work as the movement of Love in Action.

How do you begin to learn the dance of Creation? You begin with the first step of the dance. This is the focus of your intention. More on this to come. Remember that there is a full learning program centred on Desiderata becoming available at The Anam cara Experience website. This learning program teaches you to distinguish between Love in Action flowing from your deep hearts core rather than the addictive desire promoted by a culture that denies your birthright as a dance of Love in form.

Remember desire can become and is intended to become addictive. Learn the dance of Love in action. This is not just more information but a new and radical way of being the beauty in form creation invites you to become.
