Maya is only ‘lust and greed" ~ Paramahansa Ramakrishna
The process of bondage in sensual pleasures
~ PLEASURABLE experience, becomes LUST (longing to experience the same pleasure);
~ LUST becomes DESIRE (the impulse that drive us seek the object of pleasure) which assumes also the form of 'Iness' (viz. I want or I desire).
"Desire is the memory of pleasure.” ~ Nisargadatta
~ By REPETITION of the same pleasure:
LUST becomes PASSION and DESIRE becomes
1. CRAVING ( irresistible driving force that press us to fulfil the desire),
2. ATTACHMENT (which means that we experience suffering even to think that we will lose or will not get the desired object) and
3. ADDICTION, (our mind is occupied during all day by thoughts and emotions related to the object we are addicted.
DESIRE also assumes the form of emotional-mental currents (known as the pair of opposites)
LIKE-DISLIKE or AVERSION
ATTRACTION- REPULSION
Finally DESIRE modifies as greed, avarice, stinginess, jealousy, anger, hatred, impatience, discontentment, uneasiness, incompleteness, fear, anxiety, depression, disappointment, pride etc. which are energies that create suffering and diseases.
"Lust is like the root of the tree, and desires are branches and twigs.". ~ Paramahansa Ramakrishna

Passion reigns supreme in all parts of the world. The minds of people are filled with sexual thoughts. The world is all sexy. The whole world is under a tremendous sexual intoxication. All are deluded and move in the world with perverted intellects.
~ Swami Sivananda
"A man has a thousand and one desires. But the central strong desire is the sexual desire. The fundamental desire is the urge for a mate. All hang on this central basic desire".
~ Swami Sivananda
LUST
keeps the mind extroverted and impels it seek through senses the object
of pleasure. The main objects of lust are sexual pleasure, food
pleasure and pleasure of any kind of substance that we consume through
mouth which is produced from the same tattva that is made sexual organs.
That's why the mouth is the second main door of pleasure after sexual
organs.
SEX PLEASURE
Nowadays earthlings have invented innumerable ways to satisfy their sexual lust (prostitution flourishes, porn industry is one of the most profitable businesses, homosexuality, pedofilia and other perverted forms of sexuality have increased last two decates and are increasing vastly).
Our modern civilization is mostly an industry that invents innumerable ways to satisfy mainly the instinctive centers of pleasure (Sex and food). Cloths, fashion shows, perfumes, hairdressing and all things that are related with the appearance have as a base the sexual drive. Earthlings spent billions of dollars in order be liked and desired by others. Social behaviour is also related with our self-image but if we go deeply enough will see that the basis of our self-image is related with sexuality.

| Gurdjieff |
Gurdjieff was of the opinion that sexual energy in the modern Western world was misused in the pursuit of personal pleasure and gratification. (4) He claimed that, in general, the only two proper ways of expending sexual energy were through a conven-tional sex life or through spiritual transmutation.
In 1916 Gurdjieff spoke to his Russian pupils about the misdirection of sexual energy in the pursuits of everyday life and the self-deception it can entail:
" Sex plays a tremendous role in maintaining the mechanicalness of life. Everything that people do is connected with ‘sex’: politics, religion, art, the theater, music, is all ‘sex.’ . . .
What do you think brings people to cafés, to restaurants, to various fetes? One thing only. Sex: it is the principal motive force for all mechanicalness . . .
Sex which exists by itself and is not dependent on anything else is already a great achievement. But the evil lies in the constant self-deception."
All kind of pleasure and any sense satisfaction we seek through all senses are only substitutes of the sexual pleasure.
Sexual pleasure has been crystalized in us as lust and desire for sexual pleasure. The lust functions as an impulse which compulsively seeks again again to experience sex pleasure.
Since it is impossible to gratify this urge for sexual pleasure each time the desire for sex arises in us, we seek unconsciously to find substitutes in order to get some pleasure which will give us some kind of satisfaction and will replace to some extend the sexual pleasure. Food is is the easieast and more familiar to all way.
Food, cigarettes, drinks, and all kind of substances we can taste by the mouth are used as substitutes of sexual pleasure. Looking women/men in TV, magazines, internet, in the streets, at our job place are also ways that sexual lust is gratified in some extend. Sexual dreams is also another way that lust satisfies itself when cannot find satisfaction during the waking state.
This were also found by Dr. Freud; "The sexual instincts are remarkable for their plasticity, for the facility with which they can change their aim...for the ease with which they can substitute one form of gratification for another' (Freud 1938).
And the strange thing is that in this age of 'sexual freedom' that people can more easily satisfy their sexual drive, the majority has not a satisfactory sexual life. That's why prostitution, pornography* and perverted forms of sexuality are grown up vastly.
Even advertising has become a kind of pornography. The industry exploits women representing them as sexual objects (in many cases appear or behave in the 'ads', the music videos and fashion show as porn stars) in order to increase the sales.
Small children watch in TV these 'sexy ads' as well as the so called 'pop stars' which dance imitating brutal sexual movements and thus their mind becomes conditioned by false sexual prototypes.
NOTE, PORNOGRAPHY:
According to a survey of 19,000 parents, kids begin viewing porn as early as age 6.
Four out of five 16 year old boys and girls regularly access porn online, while one in three ten year olds have seen it.
60% of 11-16 year olds have internet access in their room.
In 2011, one child was sexually attacked every 20 minutes in the UK.
One in three ten-year-olds have been exposed to pornography online; the largest group of internet porn consumers: 12 to 17 year olds.
A year long survey found that 75% of pre-university students in rural areas of India were addicted to porn.
In the UK, porn websites are accessed more than social media or shopping.
64% of Australian children are learning about sex from pornography.
Pornhub, the internet’s largest portal of porn, showed the following numbers from 2014. Please keep in mind this is just one site. Total visits: 18.35 billion. Number of videos viewed: 78.9 billion; 11 videos for every man, woman and child on earth.
FOOD PLEASURE
On the altar of food-pleasure industry has invented innumerable food and drink products to satisfy food-lust. Companies use chemical substances to enrich the taste of junk foods to give variations of taste pleasure to the consumers. Earthlings consume every year tons of alcohol, refreshments and meat which affect their health and their psych. Alcohol, and smoking are very connected with lust.
We do not respect animals due to food-lust. We justify this brutal behaviour saying that meat is necessary for our health while in reality meat eating is one of the main causes of 'modern' diseases. Only in some cases meat could be necessary and even in these cases we need a small quantity of fresh meat not byproducts of meat (Salaam, sausages, canned etc.).
Billions of animals* are exploited and sacrificed every year all over the world. Meat industry produces many byproducts of meat which give a little illusory pleasure and satisfaction to the lusty-mind of earthlings destroying their health and creating disequilibrium and suffering individually and collectively.
EXPLOITATION Of ANIMALS :Over 56 billion farmed animals are killed every year by humans. More than 3,000 animals die every second in slaughterhouses around the world. These shocking figures do not even include fish and other sea creatures whose deaths are so great they are only measured in tonnes.
There is also animal exploitation to produce furs and other leather items.
Is there any hope ?
Is there any hope for this dysfunctional humanity to create a peaceful, harmonious balanced, prosperous world in the near future? None. Things go worse and worse. This humanity is in the process of decay and death. There is nothing to stop this process.
We approach very fast to the end* of this degenerated human race which has a great disrespect to life and universal laws and is focused mainly to satisfy the instinctive drives of pleasure and any kind of sense satisfaction. The majority of earthlings will disappear from atomic radiation, earthquakes, floods, famine, uncured diseases and due to the disappearances of some countries under the waters of oceans.
THE END and THE NEW EARTH

| ~ Mahavatar Babaji |
"The change of the present, which is full of turmoil, will be brought about by bloody revolution. Peace will return only after the revolution reaches its zenith.
The destruction will be such that people will die as they work, sleep or stand. In the aftermath of the destruction-which will be total, no country will be spared; big or small-some countries will be totally erased, leaving no sign of their existence.
In some 3% to 5% and up to maximum of 25% of the population will be spared and will survive. Earthquakes, floods, accidents, collisions and wars will bring about the destruction."
~ Mahavatar Babaji

| ~ Peter Deunov |
Our mother, the earth, will get rid of men that don't accept the New Life. She will reject them like damaged fruit. They will soon not be able to reincarnate on this planet; criminals included. Only those that possess Love in them will remain.
After the Tribulations, men will cease to sin and will find again the path of virtue. The climate of our planet will be moderated everywhere and brutal variations will no longer exist. A new order will substitute the old, an order in which Love will reign on earth."
~ Peter Deunov
When all these will happen?
 |
| it will hapen around 2043 ? |
We cannot know when is the the exact time of the end; according my understanding up to half of this century (between 2040-2050). The events unfold very fast and the world is getting worse every day. A minority which works spiritually is prepared in order to be the nucleus of the new era on earth. These will be the seed of the new earth; of a new civilization in which will live with love, peace, harmony and respect in all forms of life.
