Desires Lure

The most important thing to understand about desires lure is the less one is attached to “I” the less one will be lured because without “I” there’s no one desiring…

The reason desires lure is so enticing is because it actually feels good, this is why the lure of desire is so powerful. The only real issue with this is because of the impermanent nature of desire. It simply will not last no matter what; it has no staying power so something else will be needed almost immediately following the attainment of the desire. Think about it, with all the desires that have been attained throughout your life regardless of what it was, it doesn’t bring the fulfillment now that it brought at that time. Most times even if the same exact desired fulfillment is physically repeated, it’s usually not as satisfying as the first experience. I used so many things as I was lured in by my desire seeking conditioning, but it was never lasting. The lure of the next needed desire always arose. This went on all the time, being lured in by one desire after another and never being satisfied. 

I’ve come to understand desires lure as the main reason people reach for things. If your desires didn’t need fulfillment nothing would be reached for. So there would never be a need for anything hence there wouldn’t be any issue. Unfortunately desires lure has its way with people as it’s deeply ingrained in the subconscious and has been in place before your existence began. I know desires lure is what controlled me for forty nine years and it was directly associated with “I”. Without “I” no one is there to be lured in. Even with this understanding, desires lure doesn’t just disappear, but it does subside somewhat. To me the most important thing to understand about this is, the less one is attached to “I” the less one will be lured in because without “I” there’s no one who needs to fulfill the next desire…
