Master Personalized Wellness with these Diet, Lifestyle & Herbs Certification Courses

The essence of all lust (as opposed to love) is exploitation of a person - using them as a means, not an end. In lust, a person seeks pleasure from a part of the person, rather than the whole. Exploitation of individuals takes various forms:

• Desiring a person for their wealth, protection they offer, or some skill they have
• Desiring a person for their beauty, or their body
• Desiring a person for some service they offer or help they give

The passion of love (amor) seeks personal gain from individuals and the environment. The virtue of love (charity / true love) finds happiness in giving.

Preoccupation with sex can also take place in the context of an otherwise loving relationship, but with physical pleasure seeking that is out of proportion, or insubordinate, which can distract the person from pursuits that would bring greater or more stable joy.

Porn is a special case of lust. In porn, the instincts mistake a photo for a real sexual encounter, as neither the body nor the heart of the source of arousal are present. Porn spends sexual energy on an idea, a mirage.

If you don't have a spouse, use your sexual energy for hard physical labor, which will give you a sense of accomplishment. Avoid red meat, almonds, and other stimulating blood building foods, and favor bitters, to cool sexual passion..

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

PREOCCUPIED WITH SEX / LUST IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
