Teasing 10 threads from Mark 掘沿壊岳艶庄稼s
Thread 1: Desire can be transformed by a process that is at once mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual. This is a path in which longing becomes a teacher in its own right. (pg.11)
Thread 2: Look into the eyes of desire and there is boundless light. (pg. 23)
Thread 3: Buddhas First Noble Truth is that all of life is tinged with a sense of pervasive unsatisfactori- ness because of how fleeting and insub- stantial everything is. (pg. 40)
Thread 4: The opposite of anxiety is not calmness. It is desire. (pg. 45)
Thread 5: The self falls away effortlessly under the spell of love. (pg. 56)
Thread 6: What are we seeking from sex? We seem to be seeking a level of relief that is not available, and we get angry when it does not come. (pg. 71)
Thread 7: There are three characters in any story of eros: lover, beloved and that which comes between them. (pg. 72)
Thread 8: We often find, to our own chagrin, that when one level of desire is fulfilled, another stands ready to take its place. (pg. 86)
Thread 9: Desire moves us towards climax, but its resolution is anticlimatic. It can be main- tained only if it remains unfulfilled. (pg. 113)
Thread 10: It is a joy to be hidden, but it is a disaster not to be found. ~ D. W. Winnicott (pg. 142)
Thread 11: In an uncanny parallel between the world of psychotherapy and the world of Indian spirit- uality, the meta- morphosis of desire that both disciplines en- vision is equated with an opening to the feminine. (pg. 131)
