The very process of understanding the whole movement of thought might bring about a different quality of brain and mind.

Are desire and thought one movement, or is desire something separate from thought?

Why does mankind everlastingly pursue pleasure?

Joy happens by itself if you are quiet, not concerned with your little self everlastingly.

The registration and remembrance of joy, and the pursuit of that joy, becomes merely pleasure. Joy is not pleasure.

In total observation with all your senses, there is no registration.

What is the relationship, if any, between pleasure, desire and love?
