Lust, on the other hand, is desire turned sour. Desire is our life force, our sexual energy, our kundalini. Not only that, but without desire, we would feel no attraction towards our partners, no motivation to fulfill our potential on this earth, and no incentive to keep living life.Дesire is necessary. We wouldnвЂ™t be able to have preferences, make decisions, or listen to the voice of our heart and soul. Without desire, we would be incapacitated. ItвЂ™s very important to make this distinction.Дesire is not an issue so long as it doesnвЂ™t become lust. Lust, on the other hand, is what we feel when we take what we desire and cling to/obsess over it. Desire is what we feel when we want something. We can put our intentions/sigils out there, but ultimately itвЂ™s up to the divine intelligence of Life to fulfill.ДЇurthermore, thereвЂ™s a big difference between desire and lust.

The Dark Side of Sigil Creation The symbolic nature of the sigil also helps bypass the rational (skeptical) mind and enter the unconscious where possibilities are endless.ДЄs the language of the deep mind is symbolic, sigils basically вЂspeakвЂ™ to your unconscious. What gives sigils their power is the energy and intention behind them вЂ“ and that is what helps them to sprout and blossom into manifestation. Many things enter the depths of our minds, but not all of them are placed there intentionally or take root. Sigils are essentially like little seeds that are planted within the unconscious mind. As always, I prefer to follow the path of the middle and have balance in my own spiritual practice. Please know that spirituality isnвЂ™t meant to be solely about passivity, surrender, and the destruction of the ego вЂ“ it can also be about creation. Your life can change dramatically and drastically in accordance with your intent!.You develop more hope knowing that most situations can change if you will them to.You feel connected with Life/Divine more deeply.You recognize yourself as a conscious co-creator of your life.You learn the difference between lust and desire (more on this in the вЂњshadow side of sigilsвЂќ section below).You become more decisive and intentional.You become more aware of the interconnected nature of reality.You feel more responsible for your life, choices, and actions.
