Desire...

Cupid Delivering Psyche by Eward Burne-Jones

The Greeks said that Eros (God of Desire) 
gives wings to Psyche (the Soul). 
Desire and its realigning is a most potent weapon 
in the arsenal of the true Philosopher.

William Blake makes many references to Desire; of its proper uses.
Do not just say the words and expect something to happen.
Desire to change, see what happens.  
This is the secret; Using the energy of Desire to be present.
Our highest capacities and abilities to soar 
are related to our ability to Desire.

Sometimes a student will ask me how to work with something.  
Regardless of what it is, the simplest answer has to be, 
"Desire to work with it."
Without that Desire, the triad has no juice.  
Everything you do in the Work, Desire to do it.

Love, 
Mervyn
