Fantasy Posts: Lust and Fantasy - (3708)

I honestly think that the intellectual or mental processes of lust can not really function without fantasy.

Fantasy is projection.

The thoughts of lust are mostly images.

All images are not the reality. You imagine a person but that is the image of the person as you saw them yesterday wearing green, but right now they are wearing purple with messed up hair, all miserable, looking the opposite of how they looked yesterday.

The main component of lustful mental processes is desire. 

The images are just a consequence, they are called in to give shape or form, support and some organisation and correlation to the desire.

Desire is conditioned will. Will organises the mind in accordance with its will.

Will is always about 'to do something', like: to eat, to buy, to go, to see, to hear, to travel etc.

Furthermore there is always a reason 'to do something'. There is a reason: to eat, to drink, to walk isn't there?

Search to find these reasons, inquire within and this inquiry will give you light. I think you may find some things that you hadn't thought of before. Things that are surprisingly not as tainted as we may think. 

The fantasies of lust reflect the desires. So when working on the fantasies of lust go straight to desire. 

Desire is emotional. In the emotional is where we can find out the most about desire.

Of course we can't see desire without compensation, balance. So what is the desire balancing? Our ignorance, our sadness, our something...

The senses can be pleased and displeased. Pleased senses implies some desire and displeased senses implies some avoidance.

Pleased senses usually are the recognition of a quality. Pleased sight is symmetry, geometrical proportion according to the golden ratio etc. 

Pleased senses in the mind creates an interpretation. This interpretation is usually a fantasy, which is a fantasy based on many concepts that are often proven false in the reality of things. Here our awakening or questioning is useful as we can avoid the fantasy by not buying into its premise.
