If one would manage to attract everything one desires succesfully, then this would be a genuine way towards liberation since no desires would remain. But the law of dynamics of existence prevents this from ever happening. As a matter of a fact fulfillment of desire entails a giant paradox. On a deeper level, right understanding and intention weaken and eventually dissolve desire.
but if no desires remain, is that true liberation? I really think for most people this is just not how life works. Maybe for our whole culture as is. But yeah in the light of buddha's teachings its true. But the dissolve of desire, i dont know. I am full of desires, very unentlightened lol. Dont know about yourself mirrorimage.
And then the problem is that when we have understood these laws that you have enumerated, we try to make it work for our own advantage, to expand the “me”. Of course the laws will work for those who tap into it for whatever purpose. But then, eventually it also becomes the person’s karma because the “me” is the greatest illusion of all. These laws were never designed to be defined or named, or measured.

@@mayawisdom888desire is the source of suffering. But also we conflate desire with urge. Is desire not an (over)identification with one’s urges?
