Why the Spiritually Awake Secretly Struggle with Lust – Alan Watts

#alanwatts #spirituality #mentalhealth #mindfulness
Are you on a spiritual path but find yourself battling desire more intensely than ever? In this profound and honest lecture, we explore the painful paradox of lust and awakening. Discover why becoming more conscious doesn't make you less human, but more human, and why this struggle is often a sign of deep spiritual growth, not failure.

This talk reveals the five hidden reasons this battle deepens. Learn how "spiritual sensitivity" amplifies all experience, how profound loneliness seeks "counterfeit connection," and how old, unhealed wounds use lust as a temporary balm. Understand why you are not "failing" but are instead becoming more aware of the full, complex spectrum of your humanity.

This is a complete guide to letting go of the shame and secrecy surrounding desire. Learn the "middle way" of being present with your feelings—how to watch the storm of lust without either indulging or suppressing it. Discover how to heal your core wounds, find true connection, and finally understand that you are not your battle; you are the vast, silent awareness in which the battle takes place.
