Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Jill Lowy

I find it amazing how small seeds of desire come into fruition. I had completely forgotten about my earliest desire to work with fireworks. Then later in my life, I realized my desire and became a pyrotechnician. My desire became fulfilled. I think it is this way with our lives. A tiny seed is planted and it later becomes a huge tree. Buddha said that the cause of all suffering was desire. He might have also said that the cause of all our pleasure is also desire. Desire is the motivating force that really drives most of our actions on the Earth plane. Without desire, there would be no creation. If God did not desire the universe, it would not have happened. But God did, and it was Good. When desire becomes suffering it is usually because we have not realized our own expectations. I think if we can let go of our expectations, then there would be much less suffering in this world. Our expectations become visions of the future that will bring happiness. Then if our expectations are not met, we are not happy. For example; I want a new red car and I will not be happy till I have that new red car or I want a baby and I will not be happy till I have a baby. So I get my new car and am not happy because it does not meet my expectations of the color I wanted or I get my new baby and I am not happy because it does not meet my expectations of the gender I wanted it to be. It is usually our expectations that cause so much suffering. If we can let go of our expectations and accept what the universe gives us, then we will be much happier. There is a lot of wisdom in the saying, “If live gives you a lemon then make lemonade”.
