Sex, Lust and Freedom

The wanting of “objects and experience” in the way you listed them, is not a problem. I will indulge myself to the fullest and chase them without restraint within the rule of law of the society in which I live.

This is the problem, sree.

Whatever we are chasing - is a ‘lust/want’. This is what Siddhartha said too. We are accepting the laws of society without ‘serious observation’ - that’s why there is fear, pain and sufferings.

If you possess the objects/experience said above, enjoy it. But if you chase for it (even within laws of society) - the struggling in the chase itself a suffering and if you couldn’t achieve - it gonna bring more sufferings at the end. And so, we fail to feel the ‘beauty’ of the ‘life/now’ at every moment.

So the preoccupation of the brain helps to keep fears which are implicit in the fact of its behaviour from emerging into the light of day. It is easy for the brain to imagine it has no fear when it is preoccupied, or to turn fear into an idea, which it imagines it can bat away. It is only in being consciously aware of it that there is the awareness of the role reality is playing ordinarily, of how much dependence there is on everything.

Fears are ‘implict/ordinary/nature’ for humanity - until it is ‘observed’. But if you too accept this ‘implicit/ordinary/nature’ as humanity does - you will fail to ‘observe’ it. When you observe ‘seriously’ (seriously means - too much frustrated of this life and in a urge to find out “why all this circus going on”), you can ‘see’(not to imagine/preoccupy) that - these are ‘illusions’. You cannot get rid of this ‘deep-fear’, but you can be ‘aware’ of it’s arousal every moment.

You may refer these K’s words in today’s quote’s excerpt
" I say, do not seek to get rid of it, which is merely a process of substitution, but become conscious, become aware of what is causing this insufficiency. You cannot compel it; you cannot force it; it cannot be influenced by an ideal, by a fear, by the pursuit of enjoyment and powers. You can find out the cause of insufficiency only through awareness. That is, by looking into environment and piercing into its significance there will be revealed the cunning subtleties of self-protection"

That’s why, I beg to not be as conditioned humans and to be serious and observe carefully everything as a whole ( ‘I’/‘self’, people, society, animals, plants, birds, trees, nature, science i.e. universe) - and in this ‘observation’ - you can be ‘aware’ of ‘thoughts/deep fear/ I’ and whenever it arises - there is ‘constant death’ in this awareness.
