Thank those of you who responded to my question on desire. I'm
waiting for any further responses before I post on it again.

In the meantime, I have been focusing very much on "self-
surrender." Though it is my intention (and desire), I don't think I
have completely surrendered yet. I found this quote when I ordered the
book "Pistis Sophia" on Amazon.com. It is in reference to JVR and
Catharose De Petri and spoke so succinctly about self-surrender being
key that I wanted to post it here.

"Their goal was the formation of a group of people in whom the I-
central consciousness had been shifted from its position as "king" in
their inner being and restored to its proper role: that of "servant" to
the growing Spirit-Soul, the true Self or inner Christ."
