Here is a question that may enter our minds from time to time.
We feel desires about this and that, and naturally the question comes to mind: satisfy the desire or not satisfy the desire?
If we satisfy the desire we will feel satisfied? Or an ego will feel satisfied? But then we ask would that be good to do that or not good to do that?
If we don't satisfy the desire we will feel unsatisfied and lacking, missing something, but then we feel that we want our consciousness to come and fill that lacking with new comprehension, which is a superior kind of satisfaction that brings what is called contentment.
Comprehension is like the satisfaction of the consciousness.
Comprehension created by the consciousness, counter balances the lacking feeling of not pleasing desire.
Many times when we do please a desire we feel afterwards that it is a fault on our part or a fault on the part of our consciousness. A fault where we should have listened to our consciousness because it knew that the consequences would not serve us well, or a fault where our consciousness wasn't made to work to have shown us that the consequences would not be beneficial.
The general formula or way to get the consciousness to speak, is to not fulfill the desire and then to bring our consciousness: reflecting, contrasting, comprehending why not to please the desire by seeing the results/consequences.
The above is a very interesting quote. A really good one in fact. The many desires that we have are those that can be satisfied so easily so quickly, so they are mundane, mediocre etc. The desires that can't be satisfied are the spiritual ones as we work all of several lifetimes to arrive at satisfying them.
It's always best to convert dark to light. To not go with the subconscious. The subconscious creates sufferings later on and miscommunications, whereas the conscious creates ease because it makes the light to shine and we feel comfortable in the light as all is clear to us and to others.
