how to restructure your relationship to time
The Problem with Desire
Desire is good. Often we percieve it as being bad- a thing to be avoided or mastered. Especially for those of us on a spiritual path.
Its easy to experience desire as a lack - we want a thing because we dont have it. But this sense of lacking is only there because we think of having refering to the experience space of the present moment. Perhaps we had something once, long ago, but now we do not have it.
Let Go of Time
Expand your understanding of who you are. You are still the person who had that thing. You are just that person experiencing a different space of sensorium. Because these two spaces are sperated through time, we think of them being disjoint- i.e The me who was is a different man – but this is not the case! I am that man still-
There will be desires which will become manifest in the future. I am the same man who has those things in the future. I have other things in the future too- things which hold no strong desire.
So desire is not a lack. It is a presence. It is an orientation
It is the direction we are pointing. Think about that.
