Desire As A Means To Life

In terms of desire, what separates man from the plants or the animals that sprout throughout the world? To many, it may seem like the conscious observation of desire is an overstep in evolution. However it can be alchemized into the defining feature of beauty in the human experience. We are not entirely fatally bound to the unconscious gravitation towards the sun as means of life. People may only deem such  natural actions as fulfilling because of their projection of objective meaning in all actions. Who truly is to say that the flowers are fulfilled? Can we all universally agree that through constant reproduction one reaches the peak of fulfillment within the ephemeral human existence? We are different from the natural inclinations towards an evolutionary perspective of fulfillment. Humans have the ability to resist their biological temptation, resist the influence of the natural environment and are able to explore both the physical world and enough of the internal realm. Rebellion against a will that isn’t objectively ours is what separates us from animals and plants. We aren’t bound to evolutionary rationality. What type of dandelion grows in the tundra? A human may do exactly the opposite of what their biological nature inclines them to do and feel fulfillment despite its natural antithetical. True prophetic ascetics find their souls alignment through the former method. While the ascetic path may not appeal to everyone's strive towards fulfillment, it declares the subjectivity of human value and our ability to resist inclination.

We are a superior species in the way we have the consciousness to define what is valuable and pursue it recklessly, even if it means irrationally giving our life away in the process. Humans are the earth's natural martyrs. Finding a heaven that exists outside biological means and is discovered through introspection. Humans have the ability to sound the heavenly trumpets through the use of their tongue, proclaiming what is good and what is not as a guiding light to those who are lost within the world's maelstrom. We can create a fulfillment that surpasses that of natural inclination. We can love without bounds. We can analyze what it is our heart truly desires and not be restricted by earthly influence. Other plants and animals live for the earth, while humans can live for themselves. The pursuit of desire shouldn’t give reason to suicide when we can it alchemize to have the potential in achieving a bliss that can only be described through divine means, transcending that of evolutionary cohesive language. Nothing is able to describe what is churning within, for that only exists in expression and manifested in the listener through an empathy that could never truly comprehend its translation. Your life isn’t dictated by which way the wind blows, you can create the wind so that it flows in alignment with what you desire, you become your own God, breathe your own zephyr.

We become martyrs when devoting oneself to the righteousness of true fulfillment. One does not necessarily have to reach the fulfillment of the desires itself in order to find satisfaction. Due to the greed of modern life we believe that only through achieving our desires can we feel the gratification that comes with it. This however is not objectively true. Even while writing these essays I believe it is aligned with what will bring me a state of fulfillment, the understanding of what is valuable and the pursuit of it fosters contentment without ceasing its desire completely, and I feel a true alignment with myself because I know this is what I value. 

Personal writings should only be done when its message is in alignment with your soul, otherwise it becomes a forceful incoherent jumble of words like an alphabetical throw up. 

When one is pursuing what is truly valuable, like me writing this book, they feel release and joy in the pursuit of its fulfillment. One should not live simply for what they reap, they should live for what they sow and exist for what the former. To believe that a human's desire will ever be absolutely fulfilled is usually nonsense and is a belief only fulfilled in death. The conscious lacks the inability to walk this earth without desire. Do not live for what will come of the fruits of your labor, do not devote yourself to the product. Devote yourself to the fruits of the pursuit itself, churn that into a state of fulfillment. Embrace what is valuable and happiness will manifest naturally along its path. It may be filled with pitfalls and inconvenience, but the gratification in this case makes up for its suffering.
