Why Lust Never Heals the Ego’s Hidden Wounds | Alan Watts

Описание: Many people believe lust is simply about desire or physical attraction.
But what if lust is not a craving for pleasure — but a response to something much deeper?

In this video, we explore how lust can emerge as the ego’s attempt to escape emotional wounds, separation, and inner emptiness. Through a calm, philosophical reflection in the style of Alan Watts, this talk reveals how desire is often a search for wholeness, not indulgence.

Rather than judging or suppressing lust, this video invites you to observe it with awareness — to see what it is truly pointing toward beneath the surface. When the ego feels incomplete, it looks for intensity. When awareness is present, the need to escape begins to dissolve.

This is not a lesson about control or discipline.
It is an invitation to recognize the deeper misunderstanding behind desire — and how clarity can transform compulsion into presence.

If this message resonates with you, take a moment to reflect quietly.
You may discover that what you’ve been seeking was never absent at all.
