Hi Marsha I think the MOQ would say that there is no one desire... rather, there are different kinds of desire that all have different connotations. There are biological desires, social desires, and intellectual desires. From LILA: "Celebrity is to social patterns as sex is to biological patterns. Now he was getting it. This celebrity is Dynamic Quality within a static social level of evolution. It looks and feels like pure Dynamic Quality for a while, but it isn't. Sexual desire is the Dynamic Quality that primitive biological patterns once used to organize themselves. Celebrity is the Dynamic Quality that primitive social patterns once used to organize themselves. That gives celebrity a new importance. "None of this celebrity has any meaning in a subject-object universe. But in a value-structured universe celebrity comes roaring to the front of reality as a huge fundamental parameter. It becomes an organizing force of the whole social level of evolution. Without this celebrity force, advanced complex human societies might be impossible. Even simple ones." Dan comments: So, looking at intellectual desire from a value-centered universe, and taking Marsha's quote into account, we could say that projecting existence into the future is the Dynamic Quality that primitive intellectual patterns once used to organize themselves.
