Inter-subjective desire

[Guest guest]

One problem with ordinary desire is that there is often a struggle

needed to fulfill such desire. Much of the problem comes from our

thinking's inability to fulfill desire in an effective and smooth way.

And in turn, the root cause of that is that thoughts often clash with

the reality of other people and the world at large.

 

One solution to this problem could be to develop a capacity for

inter-subjective desire. In inter-subjective desire more than one

person need to have a desire that is compatible with the other

persons' desire. For example, if two people fall in love with each

other, then there is inter-subjective desire. If only one person loves

the other person, but that person is not interested in the first

person, then there is no inter-subjective desire. When many people are

involved, then inter-subjective desire can for example be team members

in a sports team sharing the same desire for winning, or the people in

a company wanting the company to be successful. But these are only

simple forms of inter-subjective desires.

 

In more complex situations our limited capacity of thinking

inter-subjectively makes inter-subjective desire more difficult to

achieve. But maybe if we begin to start connecting with each other

through feeling rather than thought, then that could perhaps generate

a powerul morphic field of inter-subjective desire between people. A

simple first step would be the desire to feel good. Inter-subjective

desire to feel good could perhaps be much more effective in actually

making people feel good than ordinary desire.
