Sacrificial mode
The way to obtain what you desire is to give up your desire for it:
Understanding the dynamics of this:
When you get an idea of what you desire, you are rejecting what you now have, and you wish to deny it as truth.
Beware: one cannot just give up their desire by not thinking about it, (I tried this last week when I wasn thinking about getting some intimacy with a friend). Even if I stopped thinking about it, the desire was still there, except hidden; and I bet it was still indirectly reflected in my behavior and thoughts, etc… I know the desire was still there because when the subject came up again I would think about her the same way, I did.
To give up your desire, you must look beyond your ideal, and prefer the Unknown God over it, so that it makes your ideal meaningless.
This works because not only have you stopped denying the truth of the present, and not only have you opened the doors to events that are necessary for the ideal to be manifested (events such as the present); but you see the world more as it is and you realize that everything is perfect. Whatever your ideal is, if externally manifested or not, your ideal will always exist; and not in a far away fantasy sense, but, though behind the curtains of fate, within the present world.
How this connects with the rest… what will one ultimately focus on when they give up all of their desires?
So this concept of sacrifice seems to end up in the right place… but where did it start? And can it be trusted?
