The End Of Neediness

The soul, in its early incarnations, had no desires, because it was fully realised. Gradually, as we became more and more focussed on the material world, we began to develop desires, many of which we now attempt to justify as needs.

Are you a needy person? Until we fully realise who we really are, and live our lives in that understanding, we will likely be 'needy' in the company of others. Neediness is largely a subconscious habit, deeply ingrained in our personalities, that we have created over time. It is often conditioned early in our lives by parents or the absence of parents, or perhaps some traumatic event. It is an attempt to fill a hole in our personality, or character, from the outside in, when in fact it can only be healed by internal realisation and experience.

There are always two energies at play – the soul (spiritual) and the body (material). The soul has two authentic needs, often seen as purpose; to realise itself and to be 'useful' to someone or something in this material world. The soul, in its early incarnations, had no desires, because it was fully realised. Gradually, as we became more and more focussed on the material world, we began to develop desires, many of which we now attempt to justify as needs.
