The proper role of the individual self in relation to the outside world.

[spero]

Well this is what I'm trying to express, is that there is a correlation between the way a person thinks and their actions in the world. Also, in that regard what about people who find that fantasizing about something increases their desire for it?

It says no desires should be overcome, but if the imagination stokes the fire of that desire it seems to me this could become a bit of a circle.

I think you'd find that the entire excercise of experiencing your desires in mind, particularly as a tool for balancing, falls flat on its face if you dont follow through with the after steps i.e. "to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences". Without these following steps there is no "distilling from them the love/light within them." Only in the analysis and distilliation of love/light can the desires become "more and more distorted towards conscious application of love/light". Furthermore the concept of polarity or orientation is addressed in the statement "The orientation develops due to analysis of desire" as I do agree that without analysis, a desire corresponding to an energy blockage for example could only be exacerbated if indulged in and perhaps is a valued tool to those on the negative path.
E.g.

31.14 Questioner: I was thinking more of the possibility of the Orion group influencing certain members of the Third Reich who I have read reports of having sexual gratification from the observation of the gassing and killing of entities in the gas chambers.

Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat these entities had the potential for sexual energy buildup. The choice of stimulus is certainly the choice of the entity. In the case of which you speak, these entities were strongly polarized orange ray, thus finding the energy blockage of power over others, the putting to death being the ultimate power over others; this then being expressed in a sexual manner, though solitary.

In this case the desire would continue unabated and be virtually unquenchable.

You will find, if you observe the entire spectrum of sexual practices among your peoples, that there are those who experience such gratification from domination over others either from rape or from other means of domination. In each case this is an example of energy blockage which is sexual in its nature.
