Feeding Your Attack Dogs
May 27, 2008
A couple of years back I read an account by a woman who had been on a meditation retreat. You’ve probably heard about vipassana romances, and she had a really bad case. She suddenly fixated on a young man who was also on the retreat a very strong sense of desire. She found that she couldn’t be in the meditation hall with him, so she went off to meditate in her own room. And that’s when she realized, or so she said, that it wasn’t just her personal desire she was feeling. It was desire as a cosmic force running through her. And she wasn’t responsible for it, so it was all okay.
