How to Deal With Desire
Can we do anything about our desires Where do our desires come from How can we understand the work of our desires What is the wisdom of Kabbalah teaching relating to desires How do we reach the point when we want to act independently of our personal desires When we try to figure out our best attitude towards our desires, it is important to note that we do not deal directly with our desires. The Wisdom of Kabbalah is about the intentions above our desires. To begin with, all our desires are selfcentered, we cant control this and this does not matter. The more important question is, what is this desire for, for whose benefit is the desire, feeling used We cant control our desires as they do not originate in us, they are embedded in us, coming from nature, they are part of a mechanism by which we function, how we relate to each other.
