Introduction
Experience and statistics show that craving usually wins. We
can take a craving or an intense desire away which of course is good but the
fights and struggles soon begin. A division forms within us, us against it –
the craving.
The key is to remove the craving yet not create that
division, which is done by redirecting.
Division - the Cause of Struggles
The sexual function is a legitimate function in the human
being that is to be used, however the cravings and desires associated with it
become a problem for the person and others. When the person starts to fulfil them
how the mind or lust wants, then a problem later develops and of course the
person wants to stop them and then when he or she does the division is created
and the struggle starts.
Redirect
As mentioned above the key is to redirect, which to keep the
function going but using it differently, using it in a way that will benefit us
and others. Of course the key is that the new use must be totally fulfilling
and agreeable and pleasing as the old way was, but mind you, this is very important,
it must bring fulfilment in a dignifying and edifying way! Whereas, the craving’s
fulfilment was temporary and undignifying and locked us into a vicious cycle of
more and more.
Conclusion
Stop the craving but give yourself a very fulfilling
alternative that brings you as at least much satisfaction but in a positive,
dignifying and edifying way! Don’t just stop the craving, the fights will begin
and the chances are you will lose.
