Desire is a fundamental aspect of human nature, driving individuals to seek fulfillment, happiness, and satisfaction in their lives. However, when desire is rooted in scarcity, malcontent, and dissatisfaction with the present moment, it can lead to a cycle of perpetual longing and discontent. This essay will explore the concept of desire as scarcity, drawing on the insights of various spiritual teachers, psychologists, and philosophers such as Jiddu Krishnamurti, Dr. David R Hawkins, Robert Anton Wilson, Babette Rothchild, Thomas Campbell, Eckhart Tolle, Ross Rosenberg, Wayne Dyer, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Sri Yukteswar. By examining the interconnectedness of desire, lack, and attachment wounds, we will delve into the psychological, philosophical, and spiritual implications of approaching life with a scarcity mindset.
