I believe from time to time you have to upgrade what you desire. Sometimes this happens naturally - you experience your first kiss, at some point during your teenage years, and all of a sudden girls aren't so icky anymore. :) Firsts are like that - first car, first love, first kiss, first ice cream cone.
What if you want to control that process, instead of being controlled by it? What would that look like? And, if you could deconstruct the process into its pieces, you should be able to loop it back on itself to create an upward spiral.
That said, I believe the process looks like this:
Desire
|
| seeks
|
V
Experience(s)
|
| Creates
|
V
Knowledge
|
| Refines
|
V
Desire
The big caveat to this is that there's a shadow side, as well.
Desire
|
| seeks
|
V
Experience
|
| Doesn't Expect
|
V
Fear
|
| unchallenged becomes
|
V
Death
It's a little morbid, I know. However, how many people have you met who, unable to confront their own internal issues, are wound up tight, bound up in cages of unfulfilled desires?
