Beyond Desire
Desire can never be fulfilled because it would become fulfillment and no longer desire... stepping stones across consciousness. The masters of Self have realized this. Desires are another level within the complexities of Mind.I talk a lot about mind/no mind... we have desire to play with one mind. The yin/yang of mind/no mind wants to be fulfilled - the balance of the two. In order to achieve no mind one must fill the mind, cram it with information, with love, with beauty, the yang will follow - it must to continue the cycle. But once the mind is filled, (we recognize the symptoms of too-much mind - confusion... dis-ease within), we must empty it - where else is anything going if there is no room left? To fill the mind it must be empty - sweep away the ashes, that which remains of what we have consumed. If the baggage remains we block mind's energy.
With empty mind we regain the hunger for knowledge. We embark on a new journey, a new vision... desire already kindled seeks larger fuel. We find new paths to traverse with an innocence we had forgotten about... joy is recognized by the smile... so much to absorb, to fulfill, wonder is alive.
