Leo, what is desire? Like what is it....

[Vido]

I recognise desire, i see it, i can study what chemicals are released...but what is desire exactly?

 

Please let me know. What is the nature of desire?

[Rishabh R]

To obsess over a thing which you can't have. Opposite of gratitude .

That's the consequences of experiencing a desire, but what is desire

[Monster Energy]

Desire is a feeling. Its nature is consciousness. You don’t find anything behind the experience of it.

@Vido Imagination that a thing is better than what you already have.

@Monster Energy are you saying that desire is like a innate property of consciousness itself?

Yes. Desire is an innate property of consciousness itself. Consciousness is the source, and desire is an appearance within it.

It’s a story. You can’t help but do exactly what you are doing right now. Wether the human desires it or not. You could say God desires everything infinitely. Which is why anything exists at all.

Guys, I'm asking like what is desire. Not how you experience desire or what you think the consequences of it is. 

 

Like if i ask what is iron made of, it's like atoms.

But what is desire? Like made of? Like asking more... The substance of it

Hmm. What is the difference between appearance and the source? Like are you saying the source is like cosplaying as desire?
