Hey Amy,

Bob just wants to say thanks for bringing this up.

I've met some very interesting people who try to stay mindful of their attachments and desires to the point that they desire to not have desire and attachment! lol

Ofcourse they do end up having a good laugh at their own expense about this 'loopy' way of attracting the very thing they try to avoid and thereby seem to create more chasing of their own tail/tale! lol

Another interesting thing that seems to happen is that: when they give up or collapse under a tree of hopelessness...a small and very subtle realisation begins to dawn about the very understanding that they ardently tried to achieve...was right where they're sat...all along!

All that searching and seeking can sometimes lead to a collapse of an idea about Liberation being somewhere other than right where the seeker is!

When what is saught, is found to be in the very act of seeking...then it is realised that there is nowhere to look for what already is here.

Take yourself to no outside authority...Including any interpretation about what the Buddha may have or may have not said!

How simple.

Home all along eh!

Just be,

Bob23.

Greetings..

"Desire" is perfectly natural.. and it doesn't lead to suffering.. it is when the object of desire eludes us or the desire is unfullfilled and we identify with that object we can't have, that is the basis of suffering.. as if you are something less that who you are, if you don't acquire the desire.. i have many desires, some manifest, some don't.. neither condition defines me, it is, what it is.. if my path is corrupted because i pursue the desire, suffering will soon be my companion..

Be well..
