The teacher explores the difference between wanting that arises from personal conditioning and wanting that arises from something deeper, framing true desire as the universe itself moving toward what it wants.

You're right: my heartache, my fears. And it also really matters, which is why I speak to it so often, to do what we really, really want.
Then comes the question: what do you want? But when I say "you," I mean the universe. You as the universe. Not you the person who is conditioned, hurt, confused, wanting to avoid the pain you're in, because that wanting is never going to go in the right direction.
The universe wanting through you
I'm speaking generally about human beings when I say that. It's how it was for me as well. But when we truly discover what we really want, it is the universe wanting that. And the universe is out to get what it wants, and it often does. It is aligned. I say this sometimes a bit too dramatically, but I believe the universe wanted Jesus to be crucified. So it's not all fun and games.
