Drop right now the desire of having anything, except if it is something you need so you can continue on your path. The very desire to have those things that we regularly don’t really need, will create an attachment to those things. We feel that we cannot exist or live without them, in a short time. So, desire creates attachment to worldly things, and even more desire. By recognizing when desire arises and by recognizing the thought or emotion that pushes you in that direction, you can gradually take small steps towards not being attached anymore to that thing. Not needing anything anymore with your whole heart open, in your heart you will have the realization that you Now have actually everything. You can now feel your whole being opening up to the so many possibilities that you actually have, in the present moment. Being without desire makes way for being grateful for all the small things you already have. You start to rejoice in the small treasure that you have and this will make way for the virtue of humbleness to manifest, with ease.

Desire fuels the world of consumption indeed, and by dropping any desire of any kind, you will have the whole world at your feet, with no need to have any particular thing, in order to be happy. Once you've transcended desire, once you have risen above desire, once you understood and let go of the concept of desire, you will be free, liberated from the constant need to acquire things or to get the next thing that will grant you happiness. Now, since you don't want anything in particular, you can be happy just because someone else is happy. You share in others' accomplishments and you rejoice in that. You appreciate everything with a certain respect and reverence. You love everything. You don't need anymore any particular person or thing to make you happy. You rejoice in the whole world, as it is, and see that everything has its own unique role and place here. Everything is beautiful this way. Everything is just as it should be. You enter into a magical world that's offering you simplicity and the opportunity to discover it. You discover Now that happiness actually springs from your own heart space and it is not fueled anymore by owning or having external things.

You know you can have anything that you ever wanted, of course, by exerting that required will power and keeping in sight, visually, that which you want to manifest, until the work you diligently do towards your goal allows the manifestation to occur in the material world. So making something happen is a combination of envisioning it every day and working on it. The practice of visualization of that which you wish to obtain will enhance the power of the manifestation, because envisioning falls in the same category as reciting mantras, as in praying. Visualize the desired outcome every day and see that it has already happened, that you already have it and are already enjoying that thing that you wish to manifest. The spiritual power of the process of envisioning in your mind is helping speeding up the manifestation of that which you desire, even if it is a goal or even if it is a material thing that you need in your life. Observing the gradual process of creation, while you work on your project, will motivate you more to work everyday on it until its manifestation in the real world occurs. Working towards something always puts you in the space of getting it, even if sometimes it takes more perseverance and also getting out of your own way, as in improving and changing yourself or discarding unneeded parts of your Ego, in the process. Also, another way to manifest a thing that you desire can be done by immersing in and surrendering to that goal, as opposed to applying will power or pushing towards manifesting your goal. Both ways presented in this paragraph work well, but usually the more you force things and push towards the end result, so it can manifest faster, makes way for resistance to manifesting that. Letting go, immersing and surrendering to that which you wish to accomplish, while working relaxed but focused towards your goal will make the process way much smoother and will even improve the desired outcome.

Nonetheless, by dropping attachment to desire, at the mental and emotional levels, you can encompass anything that exists. The need to own things is gone. You find simple and pure happiness in the simplicity of life. The need to depend on external events is gone. And you feel you can dwell in this state of joyfulness, forever.
