What Is a Wish, and Where Do Human Wishes Come from?
Usually, the word “wish” reminds us of a dreamy, delicate atmosphere that is full of happiness, while whenever we talk about the topic of law, we associate it with a set of harsh, heavy, and mandatory terms or complex sentences with articles, clauses, and notes. But it is interesting to know that our wishes follow their own rules. In other words, even our wishes, that belong to the world of imagination, are subject to their own set of rules, which we need to know on our journey to self-knowledge.
Wishing is something that is common among all human beings, regardless of their background or status. Children and adults, the rich and the poor, senior managers and ordinary employees, women and men, all of them have their own wishes. In short, having wishes has nothing to do with the usual classifications that exist among human beings. Wishing is the driving force of our hearts, and not having wishes is a dangerous sign of despair.
So people all over the world create new wishes every day and try to fulfill them. With this in mind, how can such a widespread phenomenon fit within constraints and frameworks to enable us to discover and formulate the laws governing wishes?
The Shadow of Laws on Our Lives
Have you ever tried to sit on air or walk on water? Have you ever tried to put your hand into fire or increase your speed by pressing the brake pedal? Of course not, but why?
In fact, we humans have accepted that there are universal laws that govern our lives, and whether we like it or not, we must follow them. We have been taught these laws from an early age, or we have gradually discovered them through trial and error. These laws include the law of gravity, the heaviness or lightness of objects, action and reaction, etc. It does not matter whether we are a Nobel prize winner in physics or an ordinary farmer; being familiar with these laws and their role in our lives have nothing to do with our level of education; these laws equally apply to everyone. The only difference lies in the fact that someone who is aware of these laws and can analyze them correctly has fewer difficulties and can use them to his advantage.
For example, a farmer who has a steep land knows that the crops planted on the upper part get less water, so he plants water-intensive crops on the bottom of his land. He may not be familiar with the laws governing sloping surfaces, but he knows that water always flows downward.
When Laws Become Sweet!
The world is created on the basis of mathematics and established laws, and all the phenomena in the world follow their own logic and laws. These laws are in line with and complement one another. In fact, we are dealing with a complex and mathematical system; the more we know it, the more we will be successful in life.
We are familiar with many mathematical laws of the universe, but there are many other laws that we know nothing about. For example, we know the law of gravity, the law of causality, or the law of viscosity. However, we are unfamiliar with laws like desire for infinity, decree and destination,[1] trial and affliction, etc. But as we stated before, their impact on and their role in our lives are not dependent on whether we know them or not; they have their own specific function in our lives anyway. But if we know these laws and take them into account when making decisions, we will face fewer difficulties and can use them to our advantage.
Troubleshooting the System of Wishes
Whenever a system does not operate as we expect it to, we quickly try to troubleshoot to find out which part has failed to work as planned. The same rule applies to our wishes and desires. Whenever, despite our best efforts, we fail to satisfy a desire, it means that our effort has not been within the framework of the laws of creation, or even it is been against them. So to solve the problem, we have no choice but to discover these laws and align ourselves with them.
For example, according to the law of desire for infinity, there is no end to human desires and wishes. Due to our insatiable nature, we are not completely satisfied with achieving success in any field. We constantly try different things and go from one wish to another.
In fact, being aware of the laws of creation helps us to know ourselves better and in a more complete way; we can also learn about the minute details that we have not thought about so far. These details help us to have wishes that align with our value as human beings; we can arrange these wishes correctly and finally reach our goals with less effort.
In this article, we learned that the world works according to its own specific laws. These laws affect our life and even change its direction, whether we want it or not. Learning these laws and complying with them help us arrange and organize our wishes, and we can reach our ultimate goal faster. In the next articles, we are going to discover and explain the laws governing human wishes together with you.
