The Moment We Mistake for Desire
The mind remembers the object.
It forgets the state.
A person meets someone, falls in love, achieves a goal, gains recognition, experiences pleasure, or reaches a long-awaited destination.
Something meaningful is felt.
Then the feeling disappears.
The mind remembers the person.
The mind remembers the event.
The mind remembers the achievement.
What it often forgets is the state that briefly appeared through them.
And so the search begins again.
Another relationship.
Another achievement.
Another promise.
Another destination.
Perhaps the confusion is not in what we seek.
Perhaps the confusion is in where we think we found it.
What if the object was never the source?
What if the mind has been remembering the doorway and forgetting what it briefly opened onto?
I've attached a PDF exploring this idea in greater depth.
Curious to hear how others see it.
