how are we meant to grow with that pessimism

 

Pessimism is also “unchecked sneaky shit”.  Surface level stuff. 

All we have to work with is bullshit = absolute freedom from knowing.

Of course, don’t take my word for it. 

Viva la connerie! ✊?

Having a desire, to end all desires, is still a desire.

Although, a focused one, and not so flaky or all over the place.

Of course hormones play a role. But that's not really fair either. Yeah, it's easy to "transcend" sexual desire by cutting your balls off. But that's not really a transcendence of desire, that's just tuning your body to stop producing the desire. That's like saying I have transcend my desire for dick -- simply by virtue of the fact that I wasn't born gay. By that logic I am a master of transcending the desire for dick. It never even arises for me. But do I really deserve credit for that?

And furthermore, to say that one has transcended sexual desire simply because one has no sexual opportunities, is also a kind of cheat. The real test is when a hot girl rubs her ass in your lap and you are still able to say no.

How can people be born gay? It doesn't make sense that someone can be born gay when their biological function is specific to one gender. Sexuality is a human creation, our biological sex is built for our survival as a species.

Desire is the best friend & the worst enemy. It depends from where desire is coming from, from apparent ego or from "real" you. How to know? Feel. Does it feel like fear/lack or loving/abundance/joy? Sri Ramana Maharshi once said: "Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world." . ??

Only the last physical death erases the ego permanently from Consciousness.

Ordinary physical death makes no difference. You just switch bodies (physical body to an ethereal body), the ego remains largely untouched.

Only mahasamadhi can completely erase the ego.

[GreenWoods]

As for transcending desires. How about abiding in God consciousness?

When I meditate on Love/God/Bliss, desires usually diminish to some extend. Sometimes sexual urges completely dissolve.

Most men would cringe from reading that line.

Can I ask when you became gay?

sex begets spirituality ... it gives you an initial taste of no mind ... it prompts the spiritual quest

eventually sex is no longer needed, you have far greater treasure ... you have gone from survive to thrive to arrive

When I was in year two I used to draw pictures of giant rockets that would fly too the moon and giant sky scrapers, Does that mean I am born gay? No, that's just me indulging in representations of power and beauty of my own creation.

The exact same way straight people are born, the exact same way you were born. Sexuality is not a human creation. Humans, are not a human creation. People are born every which way you could possibly think of, and many, many more ways that you wouldn’t think of. Some people are born without genitalia, some people are born with both genitalia, and many people are born with any combination. This makes perfect sense because it’s true, which you could see, if you take five or ten minutes to google and look into it.

In their defense though, most men are as sound asleep in black & white thinking as you are. This ignore-ance can’t even be called low hanging fruit on the path. This is not even the apples on the ground. You sound like you’re writing from 1940.
