Comment: The Creator gives us false clothing so that we can choose true ones. But we cannot give up some of our animalistic pleasures: food, sex, family, sleep, and so on.

My Response: We should not give them up. We simply need to rise above them, and that is all.

Question: What about the other desires related to society, like money, power, knowledge, and fame?

Answer: They too are given to us so that we can sort through them, take what is necessary, and prioritize spiritual pleasures over all others.

Question: If we once enjoyed something false and then something more true begins to reveal itself, can we return to the false clothing? Is that allowed?

Answer: No, it is not allowed. This is neither in the desires nor in the plans of the Creator.
