Should we Not Want?

[Nau7ik]

I got that from the story of Anubis who weighs someone's heart against a feather. And some he finds wanting.

So it made me think that being found wanting is something bad.

Unless wanting doesn't mean you have wants.

It relates to the Law of Attraction. We have what we desire, but we don't expect it.

So I think not wanting is not expecting something.

If I may, I think you are misinterpreting that story. Anubis does weigh the heart against a feather, but desire is not what causes weight. This is a beautiful and illuminating symbol to me: Anubis is weighing the heart. The heart is love. What causes the heart to be light and free and open? Forgiveness, compassion, acceptance, and understanding. What is it that “weighs” on the heart? Usually grudges, that which we haven’t forgiven in ourselves and others.

I believe that’s what this story is trying to convey. The entity with an open heart will pass the test or judgement of Anubis. To those who haven’t forgiven someone in life and still has that grudge after they die, his heart will outweigh the feather, of course. If you haven’t forgiven yourself for whatever, the heart will be heavier than the feather.
