Excerpt from an internet talk by Spiritual Master/Avatar David Spero, whose teachings are inclusive of many spiritual approaches: Advaita Vedanta, Kundalini Shakti, Divine Mother lineage, meditation.
Instead of seeking special desires Objects , which may come but will always pass - take a hard look at THIS, notice that this assumption of ME-SEEING-WORLD MUST come up every single time - it comes up automatically due to it being taken as absolutely true and beyond investigation.
ME-SEEING-WORLD is the platform from which the search is undertaken. When that platform is questioned, it falls away naturally, just like a mirage.
The spiritual search is not the solution. It is the problem. Once that seeing takes place, and it is really only available right now because we are talking about presence itself, the idea of finding enlightenment in the future is seen to be just another point of view. Notice the ways in which you are looking in all the wrong places—in the objects. That noticing allows you to see what is noticing. Awareness is noticing. It is here. Now.
the solution and the problem are inseperable... you do not need to find solution, the solution is already there.

what about the myriad desires for objects ? say sex ? or other pleasure pursuits? do they contradict the inward resting in awarenness?

Rest as awareness, because that is what you are.
