“A gula é uma matriz psicológica que se manifesta como voracidade. A
pessoa gulosa tenta preencher a carência e o vazio existencial através
de compulsões, sendo que a mais básica é a compulsão alimentar. São
muitos os tipos de compulsões (por falar, por sexo, pornografia,
compras, jogos...), mas todas tem relação com a sexualidade. A gula é um
sintoma; ela indica que algo precisa ser curado. Existe um conteúdo
relacionado a sexualidade que ainda não foi compreendido e aceito.”

“Gluttony is the psychological matrix that manifests as voracity. A gluttonous person tries to fill neediness and existential emptiness through compulsions, of which the most basic is the compulsion to eat. There are many types of compulsions, the compulsion to speak, to have sex, to watch pornography, shopping, games, and so on. All of them are related to sexuality. Gluttony is only a symptom. It indicates that something needs to be healed. It means that there is some content in relationship to sexuality that still hasn’t been comprehended and accepted.”

Via DailyDharma / August 29, 2016: We Belong to Each Other
After
hundreds of thousands of millions of years, every particle of clay has
passed through every kind of vessel. Every body has particles that have
“belonged” to every other body. The vessel-bodies are so tightly packed
that there is no distance between them, one shape curving into the next,
a valley in one is a hill in another.
