A Lack in Hiding
If you have a desire then looking deep into yourself will
reveal the lack. Often what it is that we lack surprises us as to how it
translates into that particularly bothering desire. As surprising as it is,
that desire is there to compensate that lack.
Key: Find the Lack
The key is to find the lack. An emotional lack of some kind
turns into or can turn into desires relating to other centres, such as the
instinctive or sexual centres, that when active create emotions that compensate
that emotional lack.
For example, a person who is bored, lonely and has been rejected
could go to use the instinctive centre to eat or to the sexual centre to create
emotions that supplant those lacks of being happy, fulfilled with purpose and accepted,
approved of etc. Very standard psychological compensation. Though one would be
surprised how we ignore that at times.
The Lack Could be…
The lack could be spirituality related. It could be that we
are not giving to ourselves something that we need spiritually and so our psychological
machinery finds a way to compensate. But that compensation uses the desire for
something that can not fill the original lack.
Then that desire becomes insatiable. It is exactly like
filling up our car with something other than petrol. The car's need for petrol
will never be fulfilled, but only ever partly and the cycle will continue for
the wrong fuel until the car breaks down, from using the wrong fuel.
