In this world we are seized by desires that affirm the illusion of the opposites wherein, from out of their appearance, is born a separate sense of self that feels it must possess what is desired, or "die". In the spiritual world there is a holy desire; but being seized by it leads to the abnegation of identification; because what holiness desires is atonement: the end of the false sense of self created by unconsciously identifying with any opposite.

"Do What You Don't Want to Do"
Real change is impossible until we begin to see that we are not who we have taken ourselves to be. Only intentional experience matters. Intentional experience is deliberately withdrawing from the unconscious experience of yourself. It is the only way to see that what you call "your will" isn't yours at all.
At least once a day practice doing what you don't want to do, when you don't want to do it. Go completely against yourself and then watch what happens. If you do that, you will meet the nature that you have called 'I' up until now, and you will get to see what you are not.
