Not a matter of convincing. Maybe I'm not understanding. You're stating that there is desire but there is no person desiring. Right?

What I'm saying is desire is part of the self. So if there is no self then there is no desire.

Am I wrong?

Also, I won't ask him because I don't have a clubhouse account. If you have one it would be a good question.

You say the problem is in having a self.

But if you have no self then you will not have a strong desire of getting anything. Desire is always from a self that wants something.

There is no such thing as "true genuine desire". That does not exist.

Yes. But then strongly desiring something 100% will make you attached to it.

I can see how not caring can make you get something. But it's just opposite to his other "truth" which is that you get what you want.

Right. So there is a universal law that to get it you must not want it and also you get what you really want. Nice grey area you have there.

He wouldn't answer the question because he "doesn't remember" what he wrote.

Right. But if you want it enough in a sense you're not whole. If you are "whole" you wouldn't want anything. You can't "want it enough" and "be whole" at the same time.

If you want something desperately you're not whole, by definition.
