Even when it degenerates into
addiction, there is something salvageable from the original impulse that can
only be described as sacred.
Epstein, Mark (2006-01-05). Open to
Desire: The Truth About What the Buddha Taught (Kindle Locations 161-162).
Penguin Group. Kindle Edition.
One of my areas of specialty is Sex, Drugs and Recovery (sounds like a great book title). I am struck by Epstein’s affirming the core
energy of desire as healthy and sacred.
In my opinion, the goal of therapy for those in recovery for substance
use and sexual compulsivity is the task of rediscovering the sacredness of
desire. It is good. It is VERY good!
