Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes
I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The
thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the
terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.
Lust
The end result of any lustful manifestation is a slip back,
a reduction in energy and some experience of dislocation, disillusion and
disorientation especially in the spiritual sense.
Many egos also do this, but lust seems to specialise in
this, in the sense that it does it better than any other ego. This is because
this function is related to its deep meaning. Read on…
Deep Meaning of Lust
The deep meaning of fear is something that has been put in
place to stop human beings from becoming Gods or tearing away the adamic veil
(veil of consciousness). Lust has as its deep meaning for its existence a
device that stops our spiritual progress or at least delays it.
In the human sense too, if someone is great in any human
field, whether it politics or sport lust takes the person down. Just like Bill
Clinton, Tiger Woods and many other cases in the past. Lust snow balls and snow
balls until it gets so big it destroys their career and reputation and they end
up ruined – i.e. their dharma spent.
Final Comments
That is why lust is pretty harmful for our spiritual development
because it has been designed to stop it or delay it and consumes our dharma. If
we have a problem with lust we have to search deep inside it for the love of
truth so to better comprehend and use will when necessary.
End (625).
