Lust is about realising the yearning to be in union with love.
We all have this yearning in our essence and our essence fulfills this yearning. The way of union is always something sexual.
There is a part of our essence that loves and wants to be united in love and with love.
It is this part of our essence that when it gets trapped or conditioned acts in a way we in society would call 'lustful'.
This part of essence that wants to love seeks for ways to be united in love. Of course it will naturally look at sexual union as that is the deepest and most complete way to find union. There are also other kinds of union such as devotion which is a very emotional type of union.
An observation that we can make is that when we are single this part of our essence is very active seeking, when we are in relationship and love and happiness is lacking this part becomes active again seeking. When a relationship ends this part again becomes very active. When we are in a relationship and we feel insecure or doubt the presence of love this part also becomes very active.
When people are unhappy, idle or bored or resentful this part of the essence comes to act, as it is it's right calling to do so. It appears to help us find love because we know that love brings happiness, fulfillment and love will wash away boredom, aimlessness, ailments and resentment.
Lust works towards the realisation of this yearning through both the sexual and emotional centres. Sometimes more in one than the other.
To love others and our Inner Being both emotionally and sexually. If we are in relationship we can do both if not we can do it remarkably well with our Inner Being.
To consciously unite sexually and emotionally through union with our Inner Being is done by sending by sending heart-felt love along with our transmuted sexual energy. Which we can transmute with the many practices that combine breathing and mantra.
The "I" of lust is a part of the essence devoted to fulfilling this yearning, however this part of essence has been put into a bottle or conditioned to go about fulfilling the yearning to be united with love in a set way. This set way we call lust as it not conscious and can often cause ourselves and others some emotional suffering.
When people watch pornography they are trying to partake in the realising of the union with love, by identifying with those in the film that are realising that yearning. The viewer witnesses the acceptance of others into that union and in witnessing that the viewer through identification is able to simulate the emotion of the realising of that yearning.
Often people who don't love have what we could call a strong lust. Because they are looking for what they don't have which is love.
