Lust looks for what is pleasing to the senses to evoke the effect of ones likes and affections...
It is among many things a trigger that releases one's own feelings and currents of affection etc.
It uses an external trigger to spark our own forces.
Ultimately it is our forces, our affections and energies that are at work. We think that it is all the other person. But no, it is ourselves. Our own psychology allowing an external trigger to move our latent forces.
We like our own forces not so much the other person. That is why relationships based on lust wither. after a while the trigger stops working and nothing arises but emptiness, disinterest, indifference etc.
A trigger that does not wither is needed, an internal one, one that is within the possession of the person. One can only possess what is inside of them.
Because it is our psychology or mind providing the trigger we can change it. We can change the trigger point.
In the way of lust we lack control. We become a slave to our very own forces. When we have an internal trigger we are getting back to being in control.
Can we have an internal trigger? One that is used by our essence and used consciously.
Lust uses external things but our essence uses an internal one: a pleasing of the essence, an understanding, essence in itself, and many other things that are not external.
