I don't mean to piss off the epistemologists

I don't mean to piss off the epistemologists but it seems to me that how we know what we know as well as the origin of desire follows the same pattern of activation, that is, desire as well as consciousness do not "seek" they "receive" stimuli from the biological body.

Consciousness does not initially create stimuli, consciousness is created by stimuli. As long as we are alive every cell in our body demands survival and reproductive success. This natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied.

I don't see a specific center in the body for this activation, for example like the pineal gland of the ancient mystics, but the brain at least coordinates the mass of stimuli coming in from the biological body.

I think there is also a deeper "desire" or activation beneath this pattern of activation which essentially defines "life," or activates the metabolism growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction which defines life. I call it "Tirips," after previously calling it "spirit-will," because it is an entirely material or supermaterial activation.

Tirips is that deep motivation of life not to just survive and reproduce successfully, or to merely satisfy biological desires, but to endlessly seek to reach the zenith of material evolution, which is Godhood, and to never to be satisfied until it attains Godhood---but even then it keeps activating life toward higher life forms, working along with the ups and downs of natural evolution...That unifies religion, science, and culture, if we dare.
