In what situations does concealment make something more attractive than it would be otherwise?

[Jennifer]

when we have a desire.  once we have the desired we no longer want it.

[Deborah Majen]

Any situation that can cause a feeling of lack. In this world I would say it is anything you would want for yourself in which others may have that you don’t have; hence, you become attracted to it because it is elusive.

It seems in all situations concealment makes something more attractive than it would be otherwise.

Concealment can make one dig deeper for the answers.

I feel it almost as a courting process. The beautiful bride is behind the veil waiting to be revealed but only when correction is made (though we would be more like the Bride, since He is the One who bestows). It is like a journey of many lifetimes to be with my true beloved. True love from the true Creator who is a jealous God because His beloved belongs only to Him, and though she has played the harlot in many different ways, He has created a path back to Him. To feel the love from Him as a first born son, or His beloved Bride feels like the truest love of all that was hidden/concealed from us in a world that seemed hopeless. We are the prodigal sons and daughters of the Most High Elohim.

In all situations.  Concealment is the denial of attainment which it increases the desire for it.  In desires for food, shelter, sex, money & power, knowledge and finally spirituality.  Any concealment in them ends up in more motivation (using the brain) to attain them.

The question is: Where do these desires come from?  The creature or the Creator!!!!! If it is the Creator, then He is increasing one’s desire to attain it.  If it is the creature, then God help us as we are doomed (smile).

A hungry man will seek food where it is available, but when denied in all of the attempt he will reach the level of an animal to get it by stealing or even killing.  The same goes for all the level of desires listed by Kabbalah.  Now “Shame” (maybe tzimtzum aleph at birth) and found in Beni Adam forces one to seek the desires with the least amount of damage to society and oneself, but when denied (depending on the level of desire and level of soul) can either descent to the “Animate level” or allow the soul to rule to forgo or moderate the desire to a level that is productive for both society and oneself.
