Curbing Earthly Desires

Curbing Earthly Desires

Earthly desires occur to nearly everyone. Earthly desires are the forbidden fruit, and often the weak minded ones cling to them. A person who is weak mentally/spiritually and/or emotionally can be manipulated into participating in devious acts. Men and woken are tempted daily, may they be interested in the boon that is offered to them or not. Very few people will reject worldly desires. However, I know that all of you who are reading this article are ready to learn how to thrive off the mind's bliss and discard those fleshly lusts. You are ready to be enlightened, as one who bends to the broken world's evil fruit are doomed to wallow in mud.

I am not a proud man, and I know this is the best way to start learning about wisdom and sagehood. I will not give into gluttony or being idle as I know my mind will become dark and terrifying if I give into gluttony and sloth. I will not feel anger, as anger will consume me. I do not want what everyone else wants, as I will not envy. Desiring worldly possessions is not for me, as greed will keep me bound to the earth itself. I will not chase after meaningless fleshly fornication, as lust lacks true physical intimacy. All these things are of this broken world, and I must stand tall, as the broken world cares not for my enlightenment and pursuit of nirvana.

How are we to defend our minds from this world? We must take many steps, and believe that good karma and peace of mind is worth more than anything. Yes, anything. How can one ever live with themselves if they engage in what comes across them in this tortuous world? Will we surrender our happy minds, and become depraved, or will we look for higher ground? A suffering mind is always one that gets wrapped up in the toils and worries of the broken world. One simply cannot just fight the world without their armor, and your armor is enlightenment.

There's a few more things I should explain. Earthly desires keep us grounded, and thus enlightenment makes us fly. Flight is associated with birds, and the bird represents freedom as a whole. In America, the Eagle represents America, the free king of the skies. Enlightenment is the aspect of the wise person, and the fool is the representation of the earthly man. However, the fool is also a blank slate. The path is yours, as the broken world will lead you to ignorance and happiness. If you are to become a sage or crone, (the crone represents the wise woman) then you must adhere to enlightenment and its mindful aspect.


It's impose to avoid the broken world, but you can fight against it and win. Where suffering ceases and the mind rises to enlightenment I almost believe that the broken world will always be dead to you. I am sure you do not want to suffer at all. Enlightenment stipulates that you will discard earthly desires and worldly possessions. It is possible, and enlightenment is on your horizon. You do not need the world to light your torch which is your heart. You can make a difference in your life, and creativity is something that must come naturally to you. You were born to be creative, and the most creative person is the one who does not care about even the clothes on their back. Go forth, and explore the darkest depths of your mind, and I believe fully that you will find nirvana. The broken world is not of you, as you all are already a special breed, a wonderful creature we call human.
