Does the body have its own desires?

Master Kosen – Published on September 17 – emotions

Question

Hello,
Does the body have its own desires, or do all desires come from the mind?

Thank you.

Answer from Master Kosen

Absolutely. The body has chemical addictions to certain emotions. An exchange takes place in the thalamus that makes us believe the influence comes from the mind, when it is purely chemical.
