Hawkins say desire is a low vibration… but Napoleon Hill and Bob Proctor say desire is the key to success?”</blockquote>It looks contradictory on the surface — almost like two worlds fighting each other. But once you understand the real difference, the confusion disappears instantly.Let me break it down the same way I explained it to my student.<hr><h2 id="b5318ff3-1a94-45c0-9c79-4d1dc96050da" data-toc-id="b5318ff3-1a94-45c0-9c79-4d1dc96050da" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">1. The Word “Desire” Is Being Used in Two Completely Different Ways</h2>This is the root of the misunderstanding.Hawkins is talking about emotional craving, while Hill and Proctor are talking about purpose-driven intention.Same word, different worlds.And if you don’t separate them, you’ll create unnecessary conflict in your mind.<hr><h2 id="e9dcf1f7-a041-4ad6-a3b4-2b15533ad7a2" data-toc-id="e9dcf1f7-a041-4ad6-a3b4-2b15533ad7a2" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">2. Hawkins’ Desire = “I Need This Because I Feel Incomplete”</h2>In Dr. Hawkins’s Map of Consciousness, the level called “Desire” is low frequency because it comes from:<ul><li>inner emptiness</li><li>attachment</li><li>craving</li><li>emotional dependence</li><li>“I’ll only be okay when I get this” energy</li></ul>This kind of desire is basically survival-mode wanting.It’s like the mind is saying:<blockquote>“Something is missing. I need something outside me to feel whole.”</blockquote>This creates stress, anxiety, and chasing energy — which naturally lowers your vibration.<img src="https://ezycourse.b-cdn.net/1352/cmi00c7r50ska068zfo7h0jkx.png" containerstyle="position: relative; width: 483px; height: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px auto;" alt="image"><hr><h2 id="596fe06b-4c20-47b3-91e3-267cbe2163a4" data-toc-id="596fe06b-4c20-47b3-91e3-267cbe2163a4" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">3. Hill &amp; Proctor’s Desire = “I Choose This With Intention and Purpose”</h2>Now compare that with Think and Grow Rich or Bob Proctor’s teachings.Their version of desire is powerful because it’s rooted in:<ul><li>vision</li><li>clarity</li><li>deliberate choice</li><li>inner fire</li><li>creative intention</li><li>emotional commitment</li></ul>This kind of desire says:<blockquote>“I’m creating this because I’m meant for it.”</blockquote>It’s not craving. It’s not chasing. It’s not “I need.”It’s directed consciousness.This state is powerful, high-frequency, and deeply aligned with manifestation.<hr><h2 id="0ba12f95-3d59-4c09-ac52-c6dfb789a9d3" data-toc-id="0ba12f95-3d59-4c09-ac52-c6dfb789a9d3" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">4. The Easiest Way to Understand the Difference</h2><h3 id="48521355-6d72-49f6-b6de-75ef7c8df817" data-toc-id="48521355-6d72-49f6-b6de-75ef7c8df817" style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Hawkins → Desire coming from lack</h3>“I want because I don’t have.”<h3 id="6540e32c-9a0b-4ea2-9498-5dad263a1597" data-toc-id="6540e32c-9a0b-4ea2-9498-5dad263a1597" style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Hill/Proctor → Desire coming from purpose</h3>“I want because I am ready to create.”One is rooted in fear. The other is rooted in intention.This one distinction will save you from years of confusion.<hr><h2 id="a3a221bb-cfc2-4416-b77e-a6c8aabde356" data-toc-id="a3a221bb-cfc2-4416-b77e-a6c8aabde356" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">5. A Simple Analogy I Gave My Student</h2>Think of two people wanting money.<h3 id="1f6f09ce-276c-4a34-80bc-cb6cba513fc1" data-toc-id="1f6f09ce-276c-4a34-80bc-cb6cba513fc1" style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Person A:</h3>Wants money because they feel insecure, unsafe, not enough. That’s low-frequency craving (Hawkins).<h3 id="bd8840a6-c540-4d6b-8ae5-8524b5f94e06" data-toc-id="bd8840a6-c540-4d6b-8ae5-8524b5f94e06" style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Person B:</h3>Wants money to expand their life, serve others, build something bigger. That’s high-frequency desire (Proctor/Hill).Same word. Completely different energy.<hr><h2 id="e5be29b4-f8f1-4848-984a-286535a83fe1" data-toc-id="e5be29b4-f8f1-4848-984a-286535a83fe1" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">6. The Practical Coaching Insight</h2>This is what I tell my clients:<blockquote>Lack-based desire drains you. Purpose-based desire elevates you.</blockquote>Your job is to shift from:❌ “I’ll be happy when…” to ✅ “I’m creating this because it’s aligned.”When desire moves from neediness to creative intention, your whole life changes.<hr><h2 id="e2a06e9c-a2c9-47f5-838a-a856358b12c2" data-toc-id="e2a06e9c-a2c9-47f5-838a-a856358b12c2" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">7. A Quick Comparison Chart You Can Save</h2><table style="min-width: 100px;"><colgroup><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Type of Desire</th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Origin</th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Energy</th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Result</th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Hawkins’ Desire</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Fear, craving, emptiness</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Low vibration</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Anxiety, chasing, stagnation</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Hill/Proctor Desire</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Vision, purpose, intention</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">High vibration</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Creation, clarity, momentum</td></tr></tbody></table>Understanding this difference instantly resolves the conflict between the two teachings.<hr><h2 id="a6666c7b-1d8b-4bf3-a72c-54b37c74bfc6" data-toc-id="a6666c7b-1d8b-4bf3-a72c-54b37c74bfc6" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Final Thought</h2>There’s no contradiction between Hawkins and Hill. They’re both right — they’re just using the word desire to describe two different states of consciousness.Once you learn to upgrade your desire from craving to intention, you stop chasing life…

A student recently asked me: “Mahroof, why does Dr. David R. Hawkins say desire is a low vibration, while Napoleon Hill and Bob Proctor say it’s the key to success?”
