Otherwise, I encourage you to check out my post about the Ladder of Emotions. I hope it can be of some service.




Ladder of Emotions
Just read it, and I have a quick question about it that's not related to the thread.

Right now I am at a mix of Desire and Courage. But I don't understand, is it wrong to desire material things? Mr. Steve wrote:

Quote:
Not to be confused with setting and achieving goals, this is the level of addiction, craving, and lust — for money, approval, power, fame, etc. Consumerism. Materialism.
I want money so I can buy an Aston Martin, a Wallypower 118 Speed Yacht, a big house on the coast, and some nice clothes. Then again I'm 17 and still a bit immature. Then again I don't see my self improving in that regard for a while. But on another level, I have seriously begun to see life as a game. Where i am courageous if I step up to the plate and play ball. Is it wrong to be the the consciousness of desire? Because I honestly don't see my self not wanting those things. Is it possible to be on 2 levels of consciousness simultaneously?

Thanks & Great post
