The Pre-History Of Desire

כ״ד בסיון תש"ע
Mab 25

I dreamt.

We human beings lived in a perfect place. Our perfect city was protected from the world at large, where the dinosaurs and other dangerous beasts lived, by a bubble-like energy field which surrounded our city. Our every need was effortlessly met. We lived in a perfect world.

We were protected, because living within our bubble-city, the creatures who lived outside our bubble-city just had no desire to come over to the part of the world where our bubble-city was located. The dinosaurs and other creatures stayed in the east. They had no desire to explore. If there was food there, they stayed. There was plenty of food where they lived. Our bubble-city was in the west.

There was one law which kept intact the bubble-like field which separated our perfect city in the world from the place where the dinosaurs and other beasts lived. There was only one law which separated our perfect city from the creaturely world of the dinosaurs - the world where the dinosaurs and the other creatures who didn't desire to know us - from we who lived in a perfect world. There was one law which separated our safe perfect world from the dangerous world of the creatures who didn't desire to know us.

We lived in a perfect world where all of our needs were effortlessly met. One of us desired to know what the dangerous world of the dinosaurs and other creatures was like. One of us desired to experience the world outside the bubble. One of us broke the one law which kept the bubble intact. The bubble evaporated and our city was exposed, becoming fully existent within the creaturely world of the dinosaurs.

Our city was no longer safely separated from the world of the dinosaurs and the other creatures. Some of the creatures, who before had not desired to know us, now desired to know us. These creatures came from the east toward our city. They came into our city and acted on their desire to know us.

We live in a perfect world. And now, so do all the creatures of the world.

I woke up.
