How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

[Annmarie]

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.

I can’t decide what is my answer

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.”

Faith above reason.

I find the study of Kabbalah fulfills me (not compleetely as I am not happy about the world we have built so far). And also, to some extent, when I am in service of others and when I play music. Doing the things “I am meant/built to do”. Whenever I come astray for too long, I feel empty and/or soul-sick (if there is such a thing). It seems there is a clear path for me to follow but I just can’t stay on it 24/7, even though I think and feel that I understand what to do and in wich direction to go (knowing I have not understood it all). Pain always leads me back on track (though I still dream about not having to join a Ten, that maybe I can do it on my own). What would really satisfy and fulfill me, would be to see the whole of humanity engaged in life in such a manner that we lift each and everyone of us to the highest spiritual degree possible. I don’t think I can be truely happy before that. I can accept and understand that we are where we are for a reason and that there is a cause, but that does not make me as happy as I could be. Gratefull that I get to experience life and have oppertunity to grow ever more conscious, yes, but still, I feel there should be more than that…
