I just finished this book. I thought the concepts where really interesting. “We have loved different people, knelt at different graves, prayed at different alters. the specifics of desire are unique to each one of us. Yet if you follow the chain of desire, in the end we are all the same. We want to be happy. We want to be fulfilled. We want meaning and purpose in our lives. We want a sense of connection with God or spirit. We want other people to respect and love us. And we want to feel safe. These desires are universal. But, the road each of us takes to satisfy them individually and from our individual experiences and memories or karma.”
