Desire is the splitting of oneness into separation just for the joy and pleasure of reunification. 

 guys its like you guys are describing how desire interacts with other elements or its function. 

 

I'm just asking what is desire. Like the substance of it, like if you had to manufacture desire and create it, what are the ingredients.

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

If that is the case, why do they feel so different. Like what is the costume made of exactly that is making us experience desire exactly

Leo would say: It's survival.

It's always survival.

Desire is the emotional reaction when you have a survival need that you want to be fulfilled. But it's not always logical or necessary. The mind can be wrong about what it needs to survive.

IDK ..maybe sugar and flour eggs and butter. Maybe that’s the cake you desire.

desire is non acceptance.
it happens because the ego wants to become whole again
but the only way for it to become whole is radical acceptance.

Desire is the basis for this reality.

I think survival is a desire and not the other way round. I mean you can always say it's all for survival end of the day but i think desire is more root and all desire has a flavour of survival baked into it

That's insightful, ego wants to be whole to increase survival?

 

But why is there this want in the first place, like what is this mysterious thing..that is driving us.

 

The more i reply to you guys, the more mysterious this thing feels to me. Everyone knows it but no one knows what it is. Just like take it for granted, yep we desire.

Well that’s something you have to figure out, no one else can help you understand what you desire to understand.

 

You could ask AI maybe it knows what desire is.

Any answer you read here is also a story. Just like your desires. It’s fake. It’s an invention. It’s bias. You desire stuff that keeps the falseness of you’re identification intact. If you didn’t seemingly desire finite stuff you would just die and realize every thing that can ever exist is desired by God and that’s why it’s here. Human desires are stories for children. It’s crucial to play the human game. If you don’t pretend there’s a game there’s no more game. It’s a life and death story.
