with Bashar I am still not sure if he is channeling or making this all up, it sometimes feels like an act or something

Honestly if you listen to what he says - it can be chalked up to a man who has been immersed in new age spirituality for most of his life. Amazing actor or channeller? 

I enjoy that Bashar actually has some kick arse advice. Regardless of his delulu status

Channeling isn’t what you think it is. He is channeling a flow state he calls Bashar where his wisdom comes from. You can channel many different states as well. Channeling is all about accessing different states of consciousness, but it’s all still the same consciousness. I can channel fear, anger, excitement, and wisdom.

@Natasha Tori Maru Have you heard of half truths? Many liars mix it with allot of truth, politicians are good examples of this.

The truth always arrives with a bunch of horseshit.

In my experience

@Natasha Tori Maru yes, you gave me a great idea, I should start a youtube with channeling Leo Gura, I think it would get more views then me just talking from my own consciousness and experience.

If you are missing out on any one of these, it's your mission to work on them so that you honor the other parts and don't leave them for dead.

Let’s not let Bashar throw of this thread.

I will raise - I think people might be conflating desire with passion. They are totally different aspects of motivation.

Sitting down and contemplating the difference will help.

Desire is about an objective "I want X" . I experience passion as more of a process of engagement - it is an activity or domain. I experience them as a reinforcing sequence where I am interested, passionate so I engage. This triggers a desire for mastery. This can also run in reverse where desire can trigger pursuit, repeated engagement and unlock passion - this is especially crucial for me because I have found various passions in this reverse orientation, also. Desire can exist without action. Passion tends to action - but not always.

Desire <-> Passion can also conflict with each other.

"I really want and desire success, but I don't actually enjoy the process of engagement required to achieve it". 

And I think many of us know this inner conflict - or have experienced it. Desire can pull you toward an outcome while passion pulls you toward the process.

Not a simple topic.

this is what chatgpt says:

passion

/ˈpaʃn/

Passion means a very strong feeling or emotion, such as love, anger, or deep enthusiasm for an activity. [1, 2]

You can review complete details in the Cambridge Dictionary or the Merriam-Webster Definition. [1, 2]

Core Meanings of Passion

Strong Emotion: A powerful feeling like love, hate, or extreme anger.

Deep Interest: A strong enthusiasm or hobby for a specific activity, art, or subject.

Romantic Desire: Intense physical or sexual attraction toward someone.

Religious History: The suffering and death of Jesus Christ, often called the Passion of Christ. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Word Origin

The word comes from the Latin word passio, which means "suffering". Over time, the meaning changed from enduring suffering to having an intense emotional or enthusiastic drive. [1, 2, 3]

@Olaf Given the various uses of the word you need context and intelligence to understand its meaning not just a definition.
