Within each of us dwells a dark and lower nature whose chief feature it is to ensure that the "perfection" of its imagined wants is never called into doubt. Each time we identify with one of its dark dreams -- taking it as our own -- we consent to not only embody the ceaseless hunger of this sleeping self, but also to live with its fear of seeing that it will never be able to complete itself with what it wants.

"See the "Teeter-Totter" of Want and Not Want"
We get caught in the world of opposites, never seeing that pursuing what we "want" automatically brings with it what we "don't want". One cannot come into existence without the other. It is like being stuck running from one end of a "teeter-totter" to the other -trying to get to the high end - and never reaching it.
When life brings to you something that you don't want, finding something else to want cannot be the solution. See the "Teeter-Totter" of "Want" and "Not Want." Work to be aware of both opposites at the same time. When you do this, you no longer serve either because you are above both.
