How does desire come into being? Why does it play such an extraordinary part in life? Can you observe the movement of desire?

In desire, after sensation, contact, what takes place? Can thought not create images at all?

If you are attached to a belief, what is its nature, who has created it? By being attached do you feel sufficient in yourself?

Is it an action of will to end attachment or do you have insight into it, and it ends? What happens when you end something?

Why haven't we, with all our cunning, experience, resolved this problem of fear completely? Isn't fear the cause of the "me"?
