Interpretations of the Sensations! - (1180)

Sensations are not the Problem the Interpretations are!

We are hooked by our own interpretations not the pleasure or displeasure of our own senses or sensations!

When our physical eyes see an attractive person of the opposite sex, our vision sense may be pleased yet that is no problem. What the problem is, is the interpretation of those sensations and not the sensations themselves.

The interpretation that we give to the senses is what we really like or dislike!

We for example see an attractive person and we interpret the pleased feeling of the senses as “that person would be good to know, to show to others, my reputation will increase, my feeling of self-worth would increase, other people will be envious, I would be happy etc. etc.”. All those feelings bring pleasure to us and we fall into identification etc. etc.

What we have done with our mind is attached meanings to sensations. Sexual sensation, sensations from the senses have all been given an interpretation by our mind and then those thoughts generated by the mind produce an emotion and that emotions is what gets us hooked.

Work Lust – work the Interpretations

If we want to work on lust we have to at some point hit the interpretations and question them.

Interpretations are subjective, everyone can interpret their sensations in different ways and those whole lot of interpretations constitute the ego of lust. So hitting each one of the interpretations over time dissolves lust and the other egos that rely on the senses.
