Desire as potential presence

I love challenging myself to distill ideas down to a sentence or two. This message came from something I wrote last week that's a culmination of learning and embodying a different awareness of desire. It went something like this...

Desire: not a yearning for something absent, but an awareness of something already present in a potential form (vibrational form) - real but not yet tangible to the five senses. It's actually this potential presence that triggers what a person feels as desire. Once that occurs, the focus needs to be on the vibrational presence, rather than the physical absence. Through this process thoughts become things. Not understanding the power of attention, many people focus on the absence thereby disconnecting from their creative power and perpetuating lack.
