"31 Flavors of Craving"

Phillip Moffet wrote an article about craving...   explaining the 3 catagories of desire.
He identified 3 distinct kinds of craving.   The first type is the craving for the 6 kinds of sense desires, the second is the desire  for becoming what you are not and the third kind is feeling so overwhelmed or disillusioned that you want life to cease.
The first type is what we are most familiar with... and there are so many sense desires we can experience in any given moment.
Craving in these instances is a distraction from the present moment, with what is.  Craving creates a sense of insufficiency and moves us away from contentment and gratitude.
Notice each day if you have a moment of craving.   Notice how it feels.   Notice how this leads towards some degree of suffering and away from happiness.  Notice how it feels when you releases it.
