Desire

Okay? You can eat food that's a blessing and turn it into something sinful.

Money is an evil, but the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, according to 1 Timothy 6.10. entertainment entertainment is not automatically sinful because you're enjoying yourself if enjoyment itself were sinful somebody forgot to tell solomon because he said there's nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil ecclesiastes 2 24. the point is god created pleasure solomon was saying you could take even that type of pleasure to an extreme but you should have pleasure Desire is not evil, but we make it an evil thing when we pervert our desires.

See, when you turn pleasure into a God, now we got a problem.

So see, this is where we as Christians have got to be very careful about confusing wisdom with law.

Chapter 13 The Attractive Power Desire Force We have discussed the necessity of getting rid of fear that your desire may have full strength with which to work.

Supposing that you have mastered this part of the task, or at least started on the road to mastery, will now call your attention to another important branch of the subject I allude to the subject of mental leaks no I don't mean the leakage arising from your failure to keep your own secrets that is also important but forms another story the leakage I am now referring to is in that occasion by the habit of having attention attracted to and distracted by every passing fancy order to attain a thing it is necessary that the mind should fall in love with it and be conscious of its existence almost to the exclusion of everything else you must get in love with the thing you wish to attain just as much as you would if you were to meet the girl or man you wished to marry i do not mean that you should become a monomaniac upon the subject and should lose all interest in everything else in the world that won't do for the mind must have recreation and change but i do mean that you must be so set upon the desired thing that all else will seem of secondary importance a man in love may be pleasant to every one else and may go through the duties and pleasures of life with good spirit but underneath it all he is humming to himself just one girl and every one of his actions is bent toward getting that girl and making a comfortable home for her do you see what i mean you must get in love with the thing you want and you must get in love with it in earnest none of this latter-day flirting on to-day and off to-morrow sort of love but the good old-fashioned kind that used to make it impossible for a young man to get to sleep unless he took a walk around his best girl's house just to be sure it was still there.

Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

Safeguard Veterans, any door, the right support.

The mental states and activities known as desire are a direct development of the feeling and emotional phase of the mind and form the motive power of the will.

Desire, in fact, may be said to be composed of feeling on one side and will on the other.

But the influence of the intellect or reasoning faculties has a most important part to play in the evolution of feeling into desire and in the consequent action of the will by the presentation and weighing of conflicting desires therefore the logical place for the consideration of the activities of the intellect is at this point between emotion and will accordingly We shall leave the subject of feeling and emotion for the present, to be taken up again in connection with the subject of desire, after we have considered the intellectual processes of the mind.

But, as has been indicated, we shall see the presence and influence of the feelings and emotions even in the activities of the intellect.

The entrance of the desire feeling into consciousness is accompanied by that peculiar tension which marks the second phase of desire.

This tension, when sufficiently strong, passes into the third phase of desire, or that in which desire blends into will-action.

Desire, in this stage, makes a demand upon will for expression and action.

I can.

'Cause you got the burning desire.

All right.

It's your time.

[crowd cheering] Time for you to go to the white y'all.

You will hit.

'Cause you got the burning desire.

It's your time.

It is a luggage bag tag, and it's made out of the same material that, like, a seat belt is made out of, so it's super heavy-duty.

And embroidered right in the middle of it, it says, "Desire." You see that? It says, "Desire." I saw this.

I thought, "Dude, I gotta pick this thing up." I've g- I literally, maybe I've even had it a year.

I've just had it on my desk right here, and I've always wanted to talk about it, 'cause I thought it was so interesting and so fitting, because it just, like, it really struck me.

Maybe that's somebody's name.

Maybe somebody named Desire, but, or a, you know, suitcase named Desire.

I don't know.

But I just haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since I picked it up, and it, it was just sitting there where it doesn't belong.

Then we circled into libido, desire, arousal being different levers, not one lump definition.

Libido is health.

Desire is self-feeling.

Arousal is physiology.

If you mix them, you misdiagnose yourself.

And keep your body present, because technique without presence is just choreography.

Also, remove orgasm pressure and turn sessions into erotic playdates,

Desire management is basically managing oxygen to the flame.

This is fantastic." Right? So that's libido.

Desire is, how do you feel about yourself? Do you call yourself, "Oh, I'm an ugly fat bitch," or, you know, n- negative self-talk or not loving yourself.

You know, you've got core wounds around those things.

Or how do you feel about your partner if you're in a partnered relationship? Are they meeting your needs outside the bedroom? If they're not, that stuff's gotta be cleaned up for you to really have the desire, right? So working on those emotional pieces.

That the version of the world that they're seeing is that which is being presented to them by the reticular activating system.

And it works based on the Desires, the wants, what are you looking for? What do you want for yourself? What are you trying to do out here? What's going on? You're feeding it data through your brain, through your mind, and it's feeding you priorities.

It's showing you what you want to see.

It does not judge.
