on deflecting lust … (02/03/10)

Lust was a major challenge for me at one time.  As  opposed to simply sharing our moments in Truth & Peace, a few women (and even a few men) desiring to “have me for themselves” in a more traditional partnership; desiring essentially to be loved by me, as opposed to experiencing Love by caring for me/our relationship.

Seeing as how men have a much stronger “lust-impulse” programmed into them biologically, I can see how this challenge could possibly be even more intense for women than it has been for me.

Still, it is possible to defuse such dysfunction …

One option that is always available, though it is the weakest option, is to lovingly remove yourself from such relationships.  Indeed, if another is determined to try and seduce you for his (or her) own pleasures, then ultimately this choice must be made — for their spiritual benefit.  If you do so, remember to consciously do so for them, not out of any concern for your own energies and not for your own “protection”.  This will keep your vibration at a “high” level and provide them with some small Awakening even as you depart.

On another level entirely, it is possible to powerfully aid their deeper Awakening to Self by remaining with them and repeatedly re-minding them that such “romantic love” is not an option, even though your unconditional Love still IS.  This requires a potent giving of energy & focus on your part, and yet is an invaluable service for the “luster”.  Indeed, if you can persist in this giving, he/she will eventually have to either a) leave you alone and find a “desire outlet” elsewhere, or b) awaken to the Divine Love you are offering by reciprocating it.  I have engaged the latter a number of times, and it has allWays proven to be spiritually emPowering for all involved.

Of course, once you engage either option openly and persistently for any length of time, you will find that the “luster” in your life appear with less and less frequency.

Consider gently …

Conscioulsy setting desire aside ...

allows true Appreciation for Life to blossom ...

... and true Love to bloom.
