The Desire-Question

 

Desire without an object, as a form of basic attention, of initial movement, has at the mental level the form of the question. It is the origin of the process of knowing, but its roots are in the process of being, they are prior to a nervous system, it is a more basic autopoetic will, present at the cellular level, and even simpler, such a spontaneous and direct impulse, so unique, which does not presuppose or admit a contrary movement. When it develops on a mental level, the desire-question surprises us with that non-duality: a question is neither true nor false. Although the contents of the question belong to duality, due to the semanticity of its terms, the synthesis they form expresses something unquestionable, a creative drive that opens what is already thought to what is not thought. What is "already thought", the past, can only lead to a projection of itself: this projection meets the non-dual environment of the question, and desire, as doubt, as dissatisfaction, shakes the already thought and puts it in suspense, originating for a moment the transcendental self, the cognitive opening to the Apeiron that will produce a new configuration of the phantasmagoria of knowledge.
