Lust is About Projections - (864)

Projection - a Major Part

The major part of lust is projection. If we were to take away that aspect of projection there would be very little of a lustful reaction.

Impression then Projection

Normally what happens is that we receive an impression and that goes into our psychology and what is produced is a reaction in the form of a semi-voluntary projection. What happens then is our energies flow into that projection and then it develops into a reaction of lust. A very important observation is the projecting action of this ego.

Half of the reaction is taken away if we don’t allow that ego to project something into the mind. Energies follow thought always just as emotion and action do.

Mind Gives Direction for Energy Flow

The mental part of the projection gives the energies a direction to flow in. Energy always needs a channel or a direction to flow to or in. If there is no direction or channel there is like an explosion or implosion. We can always avoid explosions or implosion by giving ourselves a direction for that energy to flow towards or in.

No Projection = No Direction = No Flow = Dissipation

Direction is given by the mind. In the case of lust if we don’t project a mental image or scenario in other words, if we do not give a direction the energy just activates but then deactivates because it has no where to flow. Normally people give the sexual energy a direction to flow outwards and that is why the energy flows outwards.

Two Things to do to Help!

So we have two things that we can do, one is not project and the other is to give the activated energy an inward direction towards the inner Being in us.
