Important
What is really important is that as soon as we discover
something new about lust we put it to work inside of ourselves. As soon as we
apply the new discovery the sooner it becomes a weapon in our hands to
displace, weaken and dissolve lust. This applies to any defect really.
Sometimes we can have so many keys but because we don’t
apply them they remain as just words, and of course we remain as stuck as ever in
the mud of the ego.
Take Your Weapons With You
Something that I have found very useful is to take your weapons
with you everywhere. Take them shopping, driving, walking, working, meditating,
singing, showering, sleeping, talking, thinking, you name it, everywhere and
anywhere that you go externally and internally.
Weapons
Runaway Sexual Centre – Out of Order and Balance
My main weapon against lust is now knowing that all the
thoughts of lust lead to a runaway sexual centre and that leads to great
imbalance and disorder. A runaway centre is against the order of life, the
body, it is against harmony, balance, stability and what is logical and orderly.
So when a lustful thought arises I remember this understanding, which allows me
to comprehend that this lustful thought I am currently observing wants to
create in me a runaway sexual centre situation where the sexual centre will end
up operating against the benefits of the whole (body, mind and essence) or the
other centres put all together.
As I am not interested in creating unbalance and a runaway
sexual centre why do I need to look twice, or make efforts to try and grasp or
even think about pursuing or even dreaming about “what if” or “What could have
happened”.
Connect to Reality
Lustful thoughts are all one-sided and far away from
reality. We think that other people are interested in us etc. If we just look
at reality we will see that is not quite so, or at least as we think it is, for
example they may be interested in us but not in the way we think (this is 99%
of the time like this). If we see the reality of the situation we will see that
lust in us abates quickly and reduces itself to barely a thought and our
thinking and perception turns more normal and realistic.
Does that look, coincidence etc. really mean anything
serious? If we connect to reality we can see that so much of our assumptions
are real fantasy. People may have things in their subconscious but they are
usually very unprepared to do anything about it. As soon as the subconscious is
brought to light everything changes.
Why Look
If I have already a partner or spouse and I am committed why
bother looking ! We are not going to go there anyway, why bother looking, nothing
will come of looking, so why even bother to look? We just make fantasy worse
and make our illogical assumptions even stronger and more out of reality. Why
dream when we are going to remain as we are in the same position in reality? No
point right?
Conclusion
Apply what you have understood about lust or any other ego
that you are working on. That is where the difference is made – in the application
of the keys.
