PRIMARY DESIRE FOR HEAVENor SOUL Creatures are not born with
desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels
hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to
swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire:
well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire
which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable
explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my
earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe
is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy
it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. ~ CS Lewis
Slide 6 PRIMARY DESIRE FOR HEAVENor SOUL If that is so, I must take
care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for,
these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them
for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or
echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true
country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let
it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object
of life to press on to that other country and to help others to do
the same. ~ CS Lewis Slide 7 That being said, our focus is on
personal and relational success. But keep in mind that all that we
on this planet is ultimately transmuted into the consciousness we
take with us beyond this earthly existence. Slide 8 LETS EXAMINE

person the law of his/her life. ~ R.W. Emerson, Journal Each human
"...brings with him at birth the ground-plan of his nature." ~
Jung, Collected Works, 4: 728 Slide 15 Internal Compulsion Young
John Ronald sat in a trench knee deep in water with his little
writing pad, making notes about the war and how it would make a
compelling story someday. He went on to study language, and created
his own alphabet. His imagination was always at work, and soon he
created an imaginary world. He wrote an imaginary history of this
world and shared it with no one, believing it was of interest only
to his self. Slide 16 J.R.R. Tolkien Eventually, much later in
life, he wrote some stories based on his lifelong compulsion. His
name, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien His stories, The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings was the second most read story of the 20 th
century behind the Bible. Slide 17 The Internal Geiger Counter you
have something inside thats just your thing. Its there and you go
toward it. Lance Armstrong has the bike, and its like when that
bike thing came up, his internal geiger counter went crazy. And
mine, when I saw those horror comics and The Creature from the
Black Lagoon, that was it for me. I wanted to do that. ~ Stephen
King Slide 18 The Internal Gagger Counter Attention Deficit

I think maybe it's both, maybe both happening at the same time.
Slide 32 WHAT IS YOUR NECESSITY? "My work is not only a pleasure,

Slide 38 KEY: Abide in The Source and Your Personal Source-Vocation
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a person remains in me and
I in him, he/she will bear much fruit; apart from me (Vocational
Self) you can do nothing. If you remain in me and my words (Logos -
Purpose) remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given
you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit,
showing yourselves to be my disciple ~ Gospel of John, 15 Slide 39

that Vision. Writing it out and focusing on it (im-printing) is a
very effective way to do this. Slide 50 SUMMARY 1.Listen to Your
