Excerpt of the Podcast:
John Kremer:
“I think that's all part of what you've been talking about all along, but it's really neat to see you state it here. And the next day you said, “To be beyond desire is acknowledging that thinking is an illusion, and that is the ultimate freedom."
Dr Louis Koster:
“Yes, no kidding, so again, that's great that you bring this up. So it is what I see of my own life is that the thinking constantly makes an effort to engage my attention, and it is in the illusion of the thinking that the desire gets created for something. And then when I were to pursue that, or to take that too seriously, then the end result is that I get more wrapped up in the thinking, which takes me further away from a true sense of being. So in that sense, being free from the thinking or being free of the compelling nature of the thinking has me be free from desires to slave for.“
John Kremer:
“Well, you said an interesting note, you said that, "Desires are the final frontier of the mind."
“It reminds me a little bit of Star Trek when they talk about The Final Frontier, but in this case, I presume you're saying that the desires are among the strongest thoughts there are, and it's the mind gives you the desires to keep the mind involved instead of being replaced by being.”
Dr Louis Koster:
“Yeah.”
John Kremer:
“Did you want to comment on that?”
Dr Louis Koster:
“Yeah, so well, as you said, that's very accurate, so you see, the ultimate desire that we have is a desire to be happy, but there is something about the dynamic of desiring to strive for something, there is an inauthenticity there, the promises is that once you have the fulfilment of what you were aiming for, that then you will be happy. And that is not from your own experience, or that is not necessarily true, in that sense, happiness is an ever receding mirage.”
“And so true happiness is a sense of being one with being, is the ability to just be yourself. And in that, when you are yourself, there is no desire, there is no longing for something else. That is what I mean with the absence of desire, so it's just naturally not there in the awareness of being, in just being yourself.”
“And so to be free of desires, which would actually mean the ability to see through the illusion of the thinking, and not be compelled to engage in actions that as you get involved in something that in fact takes your attention away from what truly matters, and that is the ability to be yourself.”
