There is a space within us, a longing, an ache, a hunger we cannot quite name. We call it desire. It fuels our ambitions, drives our passions, and propels us forward. But desire is also our greatest trap. If misunderstood, it keeps us oscillating between craving and fear, attachment and avoidance, longing and loss.
Yet, beyond desire, beyond its weight and shadow, lies something far greater: rapture, a state of exalted bliss, of absolute oneness, of surrender so complete that joy no longer needs a reason. This journey from desire to lightness to rapture is the path of emotional and spiritual evolution, the very transformation we are called to make in this life.
Let’s take that journey together.
The shadow of desire: The endless loop of seeking
Desire is not inherently bad. In its highest expression, it is simply a longing for more a hunger embedded in our genetic coding for survival and expansion. But when left unchecked, desire becomes shadowed, pulling us into cycles of suffering.
David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness shows us this in motion. Emotions vibrate at different frequencies, and desire sits between fear and anger.
Below desire, we find grief, apathy, guilt, and shame states of helplessness, where we feel unseen, unheard, and unworthy.
Above desire, we find anger, pride, and courage a fiery energy that seeks recognition and validation.
The shadow of desire, then, is not desire itself; it is our attachment to being seen, heard, and validated. We think, If only I have this, if only I achieve that, then I will be complete. But when the thing we desire is withheld, we sink into grief, fear, or anger.
And so, we loop.
We chase what we want, fear we won’t get it, fight for it, lose it, grieve it, suppress it, then start all over again.
The truth? Desire is never fulfilled. It is only transcended.
The transition to lightness: The power of letting go
To escape the endless cycle of seeking, we must shift into lightness the ability to hold our desires without attachment.
This is where humor becomes a divine gift. Lightness teaches us to laugh at ourselves, to see our missteps with grace, to acknowledge our pride, and to let it dissolve into something softer. Lightness is the gateway to courage, the courage to be seen, yes, but also the courage to see beyond ourselves.
It is here that desire transforms.
The desire to be seen and heard becomes the desire to listen and witness.
The desire for control becomes the desire to trust.
The desire to prove ourselves becomes the desire to surrender.
Lightness is not denial. It is unburdening. It is the realization that the weight we carried was never ours to hold.
And in that moment, we rise.
Rapture: The joy of oneness with divine love
If lightness is the letting go, rapture is the becoming.
Rapture is not a feeling; it is a state of being. It is what happens when every cell of your body surrenders into divine will. It is bliss without reason, peace without proof, joy without cause.
Most people touch rapture only briefly, moments of overwhelming love, of deep connection, of profound stillness. But it is not fleeting. It is a frequency we can live in.
Yet, when we reach rapture, something unexpected happens: the world misunderstands it.
Those who have not experienced it call it detachment, coldness, and emotional distance. They expect suffering to be proof of love and heaviness to be proof of care. But the rapture is not the absence of pain. It is the refusal to suffer. It is the choice to live in joy despite everything.
The question is: Will you allow yourself to experience it?
The journey in action: Releasing the weight of desire
To move from desire to rapture, you must first clear the unresolved grief that keeps you attached to longing. That grief, whether from loss, rejection, or failure, settles deep within the subconscious, feeding cycles of resentment or regret.
But grief is not meant to be carried. It is meant to be transformed. If you are ready to shift:
1. Reprogram your subconscious mind
The patterns of seeking and loss are deeply ingrained. You must retrain your brain to recognize abundance, joy, and divine trust. Begin the process here to shift your mind into a higher state of awareness.
2. Heal grief without suppression
The grief of unmet desires must be honored, not ignored. The Empower-mE App (My Grief subset) guides you through a structured healing process, allowing you to release loss without fear. Find it at empowerme.love.
3. Embrace your divine path to freedom
True freedom is found beyond desire when you no longer chase but allow. Discover your unique spiritual journey here.
The final leap: Trusting the divine desire for you
We spend so much of life trying to shape reality according to our own desires, never realizing that the Divine desire for us is far greater.
To trust this truth is to let go of the fight. It is to stop grasping, stop chasing, and stop fearing the loss of what was never ours to hold. It is to know, beyond doubt, that everything that comes comes in divine alignment. Everything that leaves leaves in divine wisdom.
And in that trust, we enter rapture.
Bliss is not something we find. It is something we become.
It’s your turn to surrender to Love.
