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.
