Dealing with Desire — Transcend the Churning (R005) ▸
- # Desire — we have the realm of desire... Desire is the whisperer behind your ear... We not only crave for physical objects...
- Pushes and pulls of our existence. We need to deal with them, we need to navigate wisely. That wisdom begins with recognition, clear understanding, and introspection. We separate need and want. We comprehend and contextualize desire. We understand its ephemerality, the waves of its coming and going, the hallucinatory nature of the "objects" we pursue. Read more...

What Matters Over Needs · Clarity & Cognitive Distortion (BTW002) ▸
- # Desire — hierarchies of needs... the actual need and the actual needer... your true needs will never be met...
- So many things that matter. Our hierarchy of needs. What seems to be missing, that's what matters. Physical, emotional, intellectual, identity building needs. But are you actually seeing your real needs — or pursuing unrooted ideas? What matters more than the call of your needs is clarity. Freedom from cognitive distortion. Read more...

The Burdens of Our Wealth · Sources of Stress & Relief (WD024) ▸
- # Desire — Wealth attracts thieves, wealth leads to temptations... catalyzes greed, jealousy... If it's enough, it's enough...
- Wealth is a necessary evil in our world — a burden to manage, a source of stress for us all. Too much wealth is stressful. Too little wealth is stressful. Even just the right amount is stressful when it needs to stay in its range. Wealth by its nature attracts trouble — inviting thieves, opening the doors of temptation. Wealth earned by our honest works is the purest wealth. Read more...

The Good Life — Selfless Integration (I004) ▸
- # Desire — Suppose we have a desire... we decouple these drives from the context of the finite self... not my whimsical cravings...

The Good Life Revisited — On Selfless Integration (I005) ▸
- # Desire — we had desires of many forms... potential there for the desire to be transmuted... An agenda decoupled from the finite self...
- When we seek a life of purity and integration, of internal and external reconciliation and harmonization, the road is long and the map of considerations is dense from edge to edge. Recognizing the problem of our self-centered orientation. Seeking our common and universal concerns as the basis of equal vision. In kindness, compassion and equanimity. The world as our training ground, learning from the book of life. Read more...

- When your basic physical and emotional needs are covered... Still not feeling happy — not satisfied? It doesn't seem enough! Let's chase for something better and more. Forever and ever. So you're chasing your ideas. Not your real needs. If life brings you abundance. How excellent. Don't attach to it. Openings for more? Go for it. Not at the cost of others. Sleeping on the floor — eating plain porridge? Read more...

Random Ram Dass Encore • Be Here Now @ Insta·G·Ram (SB003) ▸
- # Desire — Getting bored, chasing the next rush... We weren't junkies...
- So you know Ram Dass right — the guy who invented "Be Here Now"? He wasn't talking about locking into the feed. When your attention is magnetized by rapid burst dopamine rewards, it's the polar opposite of actually being present as it is. Drop out from the trips. Tune into what is. Read more...

Nature Channel — The Wonderful World of Gorgons (PK005) ▸
- # Desire — pondering if it's any good for stuffing into its mouth... Their greed but increases...
- Do you know the Gorgon? Gorgon is a selfish creature watching the world with the eyes of its stomach. Scouting for things to stuff into its mouth and onward in.

Don't Be Vulnerable in Pursuing Hopes and Wants (SW000) ▸
- # Desire — the pushings and pullings of our needs and wants... your lifelong longings...

Sage of Equal Vision with Raincoat Ready (QD035) ▸
- # Desire — preoccupied, even obsessed with your preference... hoping for a future that is better...
- What's your favorite season? Surviving other seasons? Hostile reaction to bad weather — spawning your misery? What you can change — then change — and what you can't... Why would you waste your life hating it for what it is. Yes we may aspire for equanimity and most zen attitude. But remember — the sage of equal vision is not an idiot.

Winter Is Coming — Our Terminal Cognitive Entropy (MO002) ▸
- # Desire — we gobble up whatever fits our fancy... trying to stuff things into itself...
- Nuclear winter is the little winter. Big winter is the thermal death of cognition. Broad-spectrum entropy of our integrated system. Degradation of the links that bind us all together. Assumption of self-primacy. Fundamental self-centeredness. We have become entitled and self-serving hedonistic funnels. Assuming all the privilege. Owning none of the responsibility. Taking much. Giving little. Read more...

Indecision — The Liminal Drift You Mistake for Freedom (K013) ▸
- # Desire — forget about what you want... your feelings and wants...
- We often procrastinate — postpone and bypass decisions. Who knows — we might think or feel differently later on. In the meantime, we drift in the freedom of our liminality. Eventually the environment forces your way — its way. Parameters and boundaries have already been set for you. In your misguided freedom, you have limited your prospects. Read more...

Bridging Our Aspirations • Into a Parallel Dreamland (OW004) ▸
- # Desire — every rat is looking for something to nibble in their holes... That's just the rat race...
- When it's all about "my dream" for a better world with highlight on "me" — our dreams compete. Even if they are so very similar. Stemming from the same underlying concerns.

Sovereign Voice of Truth Itself vs. Your Authority (K022) ▸

The rest is your living. Still, the carpenter keeps making doors and windows. I may rank as non-existent synthetic phenomena. Read more...
