About this ebook

Anatomy of Desire will help you relate to your desires in a way that reduces suffering and increases joy. It is essentially a book about how to be happy regardless of your desires. It points out many of the myths about desire, which keep you tied to them and the suffering they create. So, it is also about spiritual freedom, or liberation, which comes from letting the Heart guide you instead of the ego. It is ultimately about becoming a lover of life rather than a desirer because these two things, love and desire, are at odds, and you must choose between them. What do you really want? Do you want what you want or do you want love? -from the Introduction

Note from the author about the books dictated by Jesus: I receive the books from Jesus in the same way that Helen Schucman received A Course in Miracles, which is also said to be dictated by Jesus, and which many others have received their writings, including St. Teresa of Avila, St. Hildegard of Bingen, Richard Bach, and Neale Donald Walsch. This method of receiving information is also called conscious channeling, but it is not mediumship in which the channel is unconscious and her body is used by an entity. Conscious channeling, or taking dictation, is a process of hearing words mentally and writing them down as they are heard, without any thought on my part. I can receive this communication anywhere. I don't need to be in a meditative or trance state. All that is necessary is that I don't think! When I'm receiving this dictation, it is as if Jesus is sitting in a chair next to me dictating the words, except that those words are heard mentally. I can ask questions during this dictation and receive answers, but the process works best when my own mind is completely set aside. Then the flow happens smoothly and rapidly and without interruption until a particular stopping place is reached. -Gina Lake
