Almost all religions seem to be against desire,
desire is said to be at the source of evil...
But, in fact, killing desire = killing ego is the equation behind all our frustrations, behind all our angers, behind all wars and terrorism,...
Why?
Because the only way Life can manifest is through desire!
Through will...
Fighting desire is based on the idealization of Death and this is the only evil that can be!
An illusion!
Life is expression.
Life is celebration.
Life is extasy.
Look at all nature,
plants desire for sun or shadow,
birds desire for food, for mate, for a nest,
animals desire are of the same nature...
look at a cat playing alone in the sun
and feel the message of Life!
Humans are the only specie on this planet trying to differentiate through pain and privation in the name of a so called "spiritual achievement"...
That's the archetype of the Adamic fall, the deepest limiting implant put on the race.
The man Jesus came to show us the way back to our true nature, the state beyond the implant he calls "Freedom" ("He affirmed "Truth will set you free!" He did not say "Privations and sacrifices will set you free!"). He did not come to judge the world, he came to give it freedom...
He never criticized anything nor anybody. What is the meaning of the words " I AM the Way, I AM the truth and the Life"? It means that everyone of us contains this ever present Life Power beyond all understanding.
How does this power express itself? Through interest, through excitement, through appetite for life. That is the only way! If we have to choose a new work which one will our I AM wish to do? The boring one or the exciting one?Is life a resistance to our personal tastes or do we accept to see the fact that our desires show us the way of our most natural and healthy flow?
What kind of Father would impose privations, renunciations and pains to his children?
What would be the benefit of such an education?
Is that the ideal philosophy of Life we believe in?
Would we like to become such a parent?
Would we want to be raised in such a family?
Would we want to have Life say to us : "I will give you the bicycle of your dreams if you get good results at school?"
Is that the expression of Life's power or a parody of human limitation?
See what I mean?
We have to realize that it is this false image of Power that almost all of us have in mind at every single instant of our life :
A Life of Holocausts, A Life of Sacrifices!
Do you prefer believe in it
Or are you ready to welcome
the full realization
of your potential of Joy,
of freedom to create
the Life you came here to experience.

You should check out Buddhism.
There is a difference between fighting desire and transcending desire.
Fighting desire IS desire. Desire to stop desire. A.k.a. aversion, but aversion is merely desire.
I used to think Buddhism was about “extinguishing desire,” but it’s not. It’s about transcending desire.
I this is your pleasure
I bless it
Reading this to me does feel like a meditation on transcending desire. If we allow it, we can all be Buddhas (enlightened ones) and welcome the Christ in us, already present and awakened without being sworn or bought into any kind of doctrine at all.
very beautiful. thank you.
Amazume, you are right. There are many ways to meditate. But I do think that the word “desire” often refers to the detrimental things that spirituality seeks to transcend. Therefore I think it is important to distinguish between ensnaring desire and transcendent desire. PJ’s post is about transcending the aversion OF desire, but he did not articulate that, so I thought it would be a good idea.
It is all the same in the end. Words are just words. PJ chose the most clarifying words for PJ, I chose the most clarifying words for me.
Namaste.
If you understand it, you will end the quest.
Nothing to find.
We are in it.
Any fight, any problem surging in our life
will then just be a chance
to release errors and live the words
“I and the Father are one”…
The way PJ is teaching is the way of total opening,
he also did the trip through the Buddhist way…
As Luella says It is my choice,
it makes me feel Good
and as I teach
God likes to feel Good…
As we are all somehow “way showers”
we tend to inspire people who have affinities
with our vibrational state…
As God is in everybody
all Ways
are God’s ways…
We are unconditionally loved and supported
in whatever we believe!
