Question: At this stage, am I not allowed to imagine adhesion with the Creator as pleasure? Am I not even allowed to think about it, since this would break the intention?

Answer: No, adhesion with the Creator is pleasure. You think this way, and indeed it is so. The only thing is that it is not the pleasure you currently imagine, but pleasure on a completely different level and in a completely different sense.

However, unfortunately, at present we cannot imagine that such pleasures exist, because we are speaking about pleasures of a different nature. There are no words with which to describe the pleasure of bestowal. We are speaking not even about pleasure from bestowal, bestowal itself becomes the means for the pleasure of being similar to the Creator.
