Saw this link on the side of the one Penny posted. I found the article interesting, thought provoking... and very relevant to here, maybe more so to the reclamation board but I guess it applies to almost everything. |

Mags, that is awesome!
Sure it belongs in Rec .... and here as well - every bit as much as in Rec. I have to re-read because there's so much there. It ties to the piece about the guy who wanted to have an affair, and the piece about the purpose for sex and so synchronistically to today's meditation in my inbox:

*first, here is part 2 of the article so that nobody misses it. http://tomstine.com/desire-a-bad-thing-sedona-method/
Interesting article and something I will probably follow up on. Desire is a HUGE issue in my life - to the point that my friends will shake their head in disbelief sometimes. Some examples... One would be my off-road vehicle. The $60K I spent on that eventually wasn't enough and I traded it in on the $100K+ version. When the $60k version suited my needs just fine. I had to have the best of the best even when it didn't make practical or financial sense. My boat. Again, about 7 years ago I bought a new boat. Within a year decided I didn't "like" it and needed another brand and again bought the best boat made. This trickles down into everything I have interest in. I MUST have the best and I'm very unhappy until I get it. When I focus in on something I want, it looks very much like obsession. Two areas (that I can think of) in my life I have controlled desire. One would be the desire for different sexual partners. The other would be smoking. It's interesting to note that the method I used to quit paralells what the author is saying. My desire to light up was simply a feeling. It's not painful. It's not a need like hunger (acual physical withdrawl has minimal effect). It simply is and it will pass in time. I view those 2 as the most destructive obviously. Sleepy  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is Beautiful! |
