Thanks for the question.
If you desire something you place it outside of yourself. The experience of desire attests to the belief in lack. This appears as confusion, yet confusion is only that of Being without confusion being present.
Being seems like enlightenment and ignorance. It appears as sadness and joy. But only to itself.
As no confusion is present but only appears through Presence, nothing is added to, taken away from, or mixed with.
What is more desirable, One or One?
Only it asks this.
When it expresses itself as knowing, knowing and confusion disappear. Enlightenment and ignorance disappear, and happiness and suffering disappear.
If it was necessary to desire enlightenment it would not be One for it implies that what seeks enlightenment is somehow without it and therefore there is something extra to that One.
The One that is, isn't is. It is not its isness and yet appears so. It only appears to itself. Its names are itself, and the letters of those names are also itself. And those who think they are not One, not realising they are always seeing their self wherever they look, place happiness in what they believe is something else, yet that something is their own self. And that self is One.
Experiencing life in any way other than through the lens of One is an error. Yet in the experience of One there can be no errors.
