Motives and desires go through a filter or transformation in being thought about and deliberated upon whose character is approximately that of the categorical imperative. 'I' in consideration becomes 'one', which is always a 'one' of all; the perspective from here is only understood in a geometry in which each point is also the origin of a perspective from there, as an objective event seen from here and from everywhere else. The element of wilfulness is much attenuated after such treatment and in fact the original and its transform are present to us side by side, tactically interchangeable, the military and political wings of desire. On the other hand objects of desire are only constituted in being spoken and so there is no unmediated desire, the distinction or polarity being within the political context, between avowable and unavowable desires, while the very line between these is itself subject to continual renegotiation both privately and more significantly within the culture. These form part of an interdependent system, which is not aimed at grand satisfactions so much as at its own stability. Desires are expendable, they die in being met, but the point is to not lack further desires, the desire to keep desiring is perhaps not desire in the original sense, but arises so that the process can be kept in motion. It requires only a further slight shift in the logic by which objects of desire are conceived, as if we agree to a substitution or a deferral, that I seek not the unsubstitutable bliss of my true nature but the achievement of that goal by a one, or a we, by myself as an instance. To awaken is to realise freedom from the matrix of desire born from the oneness of the subject and its categorical imperative.
