Lust Objectifies - (1804)

Critical Point

This is a critical point to do with lust. Lust as an ego makes people into objects. And from this point onwards unfolds the processes of lust, namely desire. Which is what drives lust.


Sexuality is About Real People, Lust is About Objects

Desire

If there is desire, then it is because an object has been created in our mind. A person has been converted into an object in our mind.

Possession Comes from Objectifying

Logically if something has become an object we desire to possess it. We only wish to possess objects.
You know, we only ever desire objects. We don’t desire people because we know that we can’t desire a person. It just won’t work. People always have to go. They may stay a while with us but at some point they have to leave, whether it be death or their destiny, but they must go as do we.

Can’t Desire a Person

We can not desire people, deep down we know that. This is because we know that a person has their own will, their own Being, their own likes and dislikes and that we can’t ever really control another person to the 49th region of their mind, because it is impossible (how can you do it – you can’t) and because we don’t even know the 49 levels of our own mind, so how can we control another if we are not capable of controlling ourselves. Our desire to control shows us straight we can’t control our own selves anyway.


Objects don’t Have Feelings

If we see another person as an object we don’t see them as having feelings or will or intellect. This leads to so many mistakes. It is a huge, huge oversight, a huge deviation from reality to see a person as an object, that is without feelings. This is where we lose respect for another and this is how we know we have converted a person into an object.


Remedy

As soon as you see the person as a person, not as an object, something will change in you. Respect will also be born.

Furthermore, see the person as a real person, going to the toilet, getting sick, vomiting, getting angry, making smells, being negative, being pessimistic and being in a bad mood just like all human beings do. Then the previous shift will deepen.

Lust does not Like the Real – But the Real is the Real and it is all that we Have

Lust converts people into objects constantly and so we have to constantly reverse this process, by seeing that the person is not an object but a person.

Lust does not go with the real, it likes to go with its fantasy, which comes from focussing on features or body parts which appear to look perfect. But upon closer examination they are not. Nothing is perfect in the body.

Lust exaggerates the feature or features and then fantasises overlooking completely all the different realities. Then what fuels lust is this fantasy.

When people ‘go out’ taking their lust with them, they always try to hide the real: their scars, obesity, pimples, less attractive features because they know lust does not like what smacks of the real.

End (1804).
