Abstract

Desire is the Experience of Self Manifestation of the Field of Awareness. Desire arises out of Being's fullness and Being's unfolding creative momentum. Primordial desire is the felt sense of the self-manifestation of the essence of timeless awareness manifesting in time and in space. Desire is the dynamic heart of vital existingness. Vital-ness is the energetic aspect of Being. Dissociative Detachment from Desire is a Negation of Our Non Duality with Being.
