      when we realize things we buy or eat or see will not make us happy. only buy what you need, eat only to nourish the body and realize that what u see is from the creator?

      We shouldn’t be satisfied because we need the desires for satisfaction to give us motivation to build our desires to correct our egoism. I love the EGO Formula: Expected pleasure minus expected effort = pleasure>effort=movement; as effort>pleasure=no movement.

      Somehow we have to poke a hole in the bottom of the Klee to spill out the bestowal, so that we can continually be filled with pleasure

      I read in one of the text that “Everything comes from the Creator. In principle, only one thing comes out of the Creator; simple Light, total goodness. In our corrupted senses we feel it according to our equivalence with it, ranging from the total opposite, to what really is.”
