Before discovering the Law of One and beginning my spiritual awakening I didn't fully realize the power/significance of desire. Now it seems like a big deal and I have been attempting to analyze them. Is there any methods or tips you all find helpful on the analysis of desire?
Quick reply from me on this question so as not to deviate from on-topic.
Setting the intention to analyze desire is the first step, naturally.
I would note two other aspects that have been helpful in incrementally coming to "understand" my own patterns of consciousness:
1. To learn to "be with" the desire. To observe and feel it fully without attachment or aversion.
Meditation is one of the greatest tools for developing this faculty of presence.
2. To learn to ask the right questions. I find that asking the self the right questions, and holding those questions in the mind, gets the inner, often hidden gears working toward answering your questions.
The rational, conscious mind gets engaged in that process often; that is helpful, and needed. But it the intuition that yields understanding of self comes from levels deeper than the conscious mind that are responding to your focused, self-analyzing questions.
Two cents.
