Concentrate and Never Want Again
By Jason Fresh
The money we spend on the Wants. This money consumes our lives, our blood spilled out on the floor of every supermarket, every jewelry store selling stones bred in lie, our capillaries deciding to surrender their function, blood no longer oxygenated. We focus our attention on the luxury and ignore the necessary until it becomes too late. "What do I need?" Now, that is a question. (Even my excessive use of profanity should be questioned.) "What do I need?" I have ignored that question, subjugated the Need, the most basic of the needs. I don't need to do this blog. I need to breathe, to drink water, to share my Karma Yoga and expand. By concentrating the mind, going deep into the breath, you move beyond the chaotic wave of the Wants. You move cleanly toward what you desire most. That's right, friends. In order to attain the deepest, the Want (the realest of the real), you must transcend to the Wants, the creepy, stinging buzz of insecticide, the sweep of cries from children to consumed by material to know any better, the competitive milieu of parents chattering about their success. In order to attain the deepest - the Want, the abundance, the health and lasting peace of body and soul, you must forgo what you want now in order to get the double-wide trailer of your dreams (if that is what you're after - I sure as hell am.) There must be a really spiritual man in our history that said with an eastern Indian accent, "You must forgo what you want now for what you want most." True? Concentrate and you will never want again.
