You might try watching desire with a wondering attitude. It is pretty strange and wonderful after all, these feelings that arise from who knows where and wax and wane for a while and then fall away and come back and on and on.Maybe if you start getting fascinated by the weirdness of the state you call "having a desire" you will not find them as troublesome as perhaps now you do.

I find they only tend to wane when analysed for how unrealistic they are. Doesn't stop them popping straight back as soon as my attention wanders though!

personally i have found that cultivating love is a better approach for me than intentionally trying to stop desires. as love increases, i find many desires that are not in line with love begin to drop away (they're seen to be much less desirable) and those that are in keeping with love are usually desires that we don't need to eradicate (such as the desire to help others). this approach to me is a much more self-loving and affirmative one than seeing my desires as a bad part of myself that i need to remedy. in love, everything is accepted and embraced and in doing so, there are no problems remaining :smile:

That's a very succinct and beautiful answer deff, thank you for that. I have to admit to being at a bit of a loss as to how to implement it though. I think you mean cultivating love for oneself, and therefore love for ones own desires?

In a practical situation, how would you approach the cultivating of love? For example, if one is feeling overwhelmed by sudden desire for _________, how do you then approach the feeling?

So far, I tend to fall back on common sense, i.e _________ is unnecessary because it will cause xxx problems and will not fulfill me long term. But I really love your way of looking at it, and would really appreciate if you could elucidate somewhat!

yeah it is more of a gradual long-term solution I think than it would be something immediate to help with a strong desire in the moment. I think a lot of self-destructive desires, the ones that people generally want to change, are often a symptom of a lack of self-love. An example that Matt Kahn (a spiritual teacher) gave was with how he helped someone quit smoking. He told them to say to themselves right before they smoked a cigarette each time, "this is the most loving thing I can do for my body". After a couple weeks, the person found they could no longer smoke as they came to the realization that it wasn't a loving action, they had over time changed their subconscious association with smoking.

so in that sense, it can be looked at as a gradual transformation of oneself and one's values by increasing one's love for themselves and others. I find that we can choose in many instances to be more loving, to bring forth the energy and feeling of love to self and others, and to then make choices out of this love. Over time, a transformation occurs where we are in the feeling and motivation of love more often than we are not, and so naturally we make loving choices. In this state, I don't think a mind would be as inclined to generate self-destructive desires, they would naturally fall away.

But yeah, this is a gradual process and doesn't help quite the same in the immediate presence of a strong desire :smile: but I think over the long-term it's a more sensible approach, at least to me, than battling with desires. And being loving towards ourself also means we don't beat ourselves up over still having desires, we treat ourselves with compassion and understanding. :smile:

I think you're spot on there deff. Well said, as usual, and thank you for pointing this out, it gives me a sense of direction.

Sounds like you and Markos are on the same page:

So simple! It feels like the truth of the matter to me though. Along with spending that time as deff suggests, and like this:

Quote:

MarkostheGnostic said:
In the meantime, the Middle Way.



I had to look that up. I think it's well described thusly:

"Monks, these two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life. (What are the two?) There is addiction to indulgence of sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, the way of ordinary people, unworthy, and unprofitable; and there is addiction to self-mortification, which is painful, unworthy, and unprofitable.

Avoiding both these extremes, the Tathagata (the Perfect One) has realized the Middle Path; it gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment and to Nibbana. And what is that Middle Path realized by the Tathagata...? It is the Noble Eightfold path, and nothing else, namely: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration."


Quote:

MarkostheGnostic said:
Are you actions compassionate? Will someone suffer as a result of your actions?



Again, this sounds so simple. My instant response is 'can it really be so simple?'

If you sleep with a married woman for example, you participate in her dishonesty (lies, sneakiness, and deception). Should her husband discover the infidelity, he will undoubtedly experience shock, grief, jealousy, and anger. In a word, suffering. You will be the co-conspirator in causing some man real suffering. Then there is the additional possibility of retribution to you and/or his wife. If there are children and divorce occurs, the suffering is imparted to them. The karma may continue to influence how the children regard fidelity when they are older, and from the Buddhist notion of the interdependence of all things, there is no telling how far the consequences of a single act can have. :shrug: There is no real justification for this selfish act, so you may suffer yourself if you ever realize that the idealistic self-image you cherish is a lie and you come face-to-face with the reality of your true moral fiber. before any such realization, your ego defends itself with all kinds of rationalizations and contemptuous attitudes. Further, if you thought that you had any spiritual aspirations, you'd also realize that they were mere thoughts, not  the authentic you.

The Middle Way (or Path), is simply called The Way in Taoism, and is personified by Christ as in "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me - John 14:6  But again, this "way" is the same "Way" of Tao. The "mind of Christ" is the Logos, which one could compare with the Tao as the transcendental organizing principle. Buddhism codifies the Eightfold Path, the Bible has its Sermon on the Mount, and the various teachings throughout the gospels, epistles and acts which convey a sense living a synchronistic life and prohibiting things like drunkenness, fornication, violence, etc. Islam mean 'submission' as in submission to the will of God. Life is lived my prescribed traditions and adherence to tradition is how one submits. Similarly with Orthodox Judaism and its 613 commandments in addition to the Ten Commandments of the Decalogue. Every moment of life has guidelines for remembrance of God.

Personally, I prefer the more loosey-goosy non-codified lifestyles, and among the religious people I've met, I do not sense them being the whole, holy fulfilled beings one would expect from truly spiritual people. Very ritualized religious life seems to be robotic to me and not conducive to living the Middle Way. I do understand that lots of people do not want to be free in an existential way, taking personal responsibility for every act, and so these people take comfort in prescribed ritual. One does not have to think or question, just follow the dictates of the faith. This is the comfort of religion that I see as the Marxist "opiate of the people." A life aimed at the Middle Way requires "Right Effort" and is anything but comforting. One is often at odds with the world and frequently alone. Quelling of desire is the perpetual crucifixion of the ego on the desires of the world, but yet, there is a "peace which passes understanding."

i can tell you one thing, your happiness is a dream, satisfaction is satis-fiction, whether it's big bucks or simple pleasures, it's all a dream, you've made it all up
from a freak who has taken psychedelics every day for the last 7 months i'll give you another word of advice, it takes courage to radiate your essence


--------------------
Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Just be still and watch it, openly question whether pursuing the desire will bring about lasting happiness.

If you see that following the desire won't lead to happiness then you won't follow it, of course the deeper the habit the harder it is to break the cycle, but the same logic applies, the more you see it isn't going to satisfy you the less you'll be drawn to pursue it.

:lol:

You're probably just joking but still... while eating is only a temporary satisfaction as in a few hours we always just get hungry again, it could still help to bring lasting happiness, as without eating regularly you wouldn't last very long so wouldn't even have the opportunity to experience happiness.

I'm not suggesting to throw logic out the window, just if like the OP someone has a desire that arises but you want to move beyond it then just be honest with yourself, is that desire going to fulfill you?

Your sig pic lol, did you see this?

I hear you man, makes perfect sense. Especially when you say 'One is often at odds with the world and frequently alone'. It's difficult not to self medicate when feeling this way, yet I know that one must hold fast to this path if one is to achieve "peace which passes understanding." - and equally I feel a clear and sober mind must be held.

That's a fine piece of advice there Acintya, in fact I think that 'being still and watching it' is something that works on just about every level of inner discontent. It's worked wonders for me these last couple of days. Thank you.

Yeah I hear you. It's pretty hard to be that authentic when often being so, IMO, will mean job loss, home loss, distance from others, etc.

It definitely shouldn't be so hard, especially when one is working hard at being as kind and compassionate as one can be. I guess the trick is to just choose your time & place carefully!!

Not today, I'm out for once :lol: But yes, mostly vaped DMT.  I'd say 3g of DMT, 3g of MDMA, 2g of Methamphetamine, 30 hits of LSD, 1g Mescaline HCL, 5g of MXE, and 1.5g of 2C-B


Excessive? Perhaps, but I do know I persistently cry less about problems than all of my friends.  These drugs have been the most hiliarious, raunchy, educating substances I have ever encountered.  They can go gripe out about work to destress, I'm getting blitzed and furthering my education :smile:

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

desire is only "bad" if you believe that what you desire will "complete you" or some shit.
otherwise it's completely harmless.

as long as you recognize that the chain of desire is endless, you're good. it's only when you put HOPE in a desire that you get fucked by it. expect nothing.

I'm not so sure on that last part. I find they (desires) cause me suffering unless I actively focus my mind away from them. It'd probably cause me suffering to give in to them too.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
