The Oracle Chapter 4 (Eros

Satisfaction

(Ikanopoíi)

1. The Oracle defines satisfaction as the particular state of acceptance of an enjoyment that pleases us in its entirety and expression. It states that the concept of satisfaction is the culmination of our desires or pleasures.

2. Therefore, it can be understood as an emotional state of a complaisant nature, or as a desirable effect that we knowingly express with a degree of pleasure. It depends on the interpretation and definition we choose to ascribe to the concept of satisfaction.

3. Indeed, satisfaction is the culmination of the distinction we make between personal and impersonal gratification. In my opinion, there are five forms of satisfaction: mild, complete, platonic, sensual, and incomplete.

4. It is not necessarily of a sensual nature, though it does not exclude the feasibility of sensuality as a result. Satisfaction can be gratifying in its nature and emotions. The amount of satisfaction obtained depends on the perspective of the person experiencing it.

5. When we refer to the denotation of satisfaction, we are addressing the basic issue of its proclivous practice. We are describing a singular thing that we have either earned or been granted, with its gratification serving as a reward.

6. Satisfaction may signify several concepts which we can interpret and apply effectively within a philosophical foundation. It can manifest in our desires or pleasures. We experience it when we are inclined to seek its function.

7. Consequently, the concept is a natural form of conformity that arises through deliberation and intuitive behaviour. It does not imply that we must be wholly conformed to the notion and practice of satisfaction.

8. We are often uncertain about what pleases us and what does not, and it is the mere realisation of that satisfaction which we willingly seek in our lives. When we express our desires, we seek satisfaction in return, regardless of any ambiguity.

9. Ultimately, many things may be perceived as experimental within the state of our satisfaction; things of which we are either aware or unaware in terms of their actual benefit. The things that attract us most are often those in which we indulge considerably.

10. Within the very concept of eros, satisfaction is crucial to its practical function and necessity. It embodies the notion of fulfilment. That fulfilment may be either physical or mental in its nature. We are the ones who define the composition of that satisfaction.

11. Love, desire, pleasure, sensuality, akrasia, and satisfaction are the fundamental principles of the emergent concept of eros that the Oracle divulges. Our desires for satisfaction grant us the ability to determine precisely what satisfies us in the end.

12. If we concede to the notion of these important principles, then we are able to effectuate the perfect state of satisfaction in our attempt and mind, conceding that there is no such thing in reality as the perfect state. When we are satisfied is when our mind, body, and soul are satisfied as well.

13. The intrinsic nature of its involvement in our thoughts is the correlation that combines those thoughts and emotions effectively. Satisfaction can be pleasing, with desires that we explore in the manner that entices those desires with excitement.

14. This process produces the immediate effect that causes our need to be pleased, regardless of its indefinite nature or quintessence. In other words, our satisfaction can be conditioned by our desires and pleasures that we seek through our exploration.

15. Therefore, to be satisfied is to be truly aware of the extent of that unique experience and involvement demonstrated. Our active minds convince us of its necessity, and our body as well as our soul yearn for a taste of satisfaction.

16. A state of mind, whether it be of mental or emotional composition, can be altered or interrupted so easily due to distraction. This is why the human mind is constantly evolving and seeking new ideas to advance our thoughts eagerly.

17. What we wish is not always what we heed necessarily, nor is what we define as pleasure always compatible with a satisfactory sensation that we enjoy intensively. Gratification is natural when we are rational in our thoughts.

18. Enjoyment is not the clear admission of a visible component; instead, it can be an idea that then manifests into a pleasant state of appreciation. After all, the mind is a wonderful instrument to utilise when expressing satisfaction.

19. The omission of desire does not imply its absolute absence within the pattern of our comportment and expressed thoughts. When we experiment with desires, we are seeking to reach the highest state of our satisfaction.

20. The relevance of satisfaction is the guarantee of the exploration of our state of mind and its necessary stability. It is fundamental to the mind, body, and soul that we do not become obsessed with vices and only search for satisfaction that is momentary, not enduring.

21. Until we have achieved its elaborate concept, we are foreign to its intended attainment or completion. We must be mindful of that. There are things in our lives that are meant to be unique, but can be resolved with our studious observation.

22. Satisfaction is not to be mistaken for alleviation, because the two words are expressed equally but mean different things in opposite contrast. That contrast can be explanatory in the teachings of the Oracle that provide us with knowledge and the acquisition of wisdom to help us understand.

23. Alleviation is only a brief period of the state of the mind and body, whilst satisfaction is the continuous factor of eros. It is satisfaction that we tend to seek when we are immersed within the profundity of our thoughts and exploration.

24. There is a common practice that describes the main principles of eros, and that is the application of discipline. Through the practice of discipline, we learn to value the meaning of our desires and pleasures. We learn that they are conceived naturally.

25. If we do not possess discipline and mental restraint often, then our actions would vicariously be uncontrollable reactions that conduce to nothing good. The manner in which we interpret our actions will be reflected in the decisions that we impose.

26. Once more, the demonstration of satisfaction can be displayed through affection or desire that we effectuate through our actions. Once we have established the necessity for satisfaction, then we can proceed to enjoy its benefit with our moments of introspection.

27. Within the concept of eros, its purpose is to acknowledge the realisation of an emotional or mental state of being that corresponds to the needs of the mind, body, and soul when we are in those occasions of exploration.

28. Hence, to be pleased is to be satisfied, and to be satisfied is to express a clear finality that is reached in our emotions or thoughts. This is a logical premise to state. We are, by human nature, beings that are emotional and thoughtful in our idiosyncrasy.

29. Philosophy is an explanatory concept of the truth, but it must operate within the structure of a belief that requires the actual acceptance of the truth if not, then that truth would be considered irrational and illogical in its substance.

30. Once that is accentuated, then the plausibility of its effect is witnessed within the full capacity of its instruction. We are taught to think for ourselves and to permit our mind to accept the different thoughts that ultimately make sense to us within a dichotomy.

31. When we refer to eros, we seldom distinguish the need for satisfaction, because it is often seen as a selfish sign of the admission of our persona. However, it should be stated that satisfaction is, mostly, a private thing that is expressed willingly.

32. The significance is that satisfaction is a process that develops naturally and is a reflection of an inherent state of the mind. The desires or pleasures that are activated by our mind are those that we are inclined to manifest and seek to fulfil.

33. There is no need to elucidate its actual composition, because we have already established its function in the concept of eros. Thus, we should enjoy satisfaction and be conscious of its rewards. That is what is relevant in this affirmation.

34. What matters is not necessarily what the definition of satisfaction is, but what we perceive it to mean in the end for us. How we interpret satisfaction depends on its perception and purpose. There must be a purpose in order to be satisfied, regardless of its nature. It can be for the obtainment of pleasure or merely for brief enjoyment.

35. Our mind can interpret an emotion, but it relies on thought to acquire a clear understanding of that exact corollary exposed. Once we have reached the conclusion that in life, there is no absolute guarantee of satisfaction and that we must discover it, then we are ready to enjoy it.

36. The state of satisfaction can conclude the fact that, as human beings, we are becoming more conscious of our needs daily, and it can also provide for us the basic intent to ascertain its momentary benefits. There is nothing more gratifying than self-awareness.

37. These needs are paramount to the evolution of our body, mind, and soul. Philosophy is about the preservation of the body, mind, and soul. Our desires can easily be drawn by thoughts and pleasures that are created by our mind to entertain our body.

38. The complete understanding of our emerging emotions, as with our thoughts, is the evidence of that satisfaction we desire at will. We must learn to adapt closely to our desires and fulfil our pleasures with the advent of satisfaction.

39. Our extraordinary emotions and desires are linked uniquely to the balance of our mind, body, and soul. They accompany them with our inner thoughts, within a consistent pattern that involves a form of introspection and comprehensibility.

40. For that reason, the continuation of any philosophy must have a criterion of ratiocination that is based on the structure of truth. When we ponder the meaning of satisfaction, we are contemplating the veracity and the actuality of its function.

41. If we could acknowledge that process, then we would discover with immediacy the relation amongst the distinctive principles of eros. The importance of that discovery will only enable us to react to the needs of eros with a measure of satisfaction.

42. The general perception is that satisfaction is the phase of eros that we attempt to obtain through necessity and fulfilment. It is a natural thing to desire and seek pleasures for the body, but what must be remembered is that the body should not exceed those desires or pleasures with excessive satisfaction.

43. The question asked is: is that necessity a plausibility to achieve, or an implausible notion of discordance that we fail to accept? In other words, we do not need to restrict our satisfaction per se, when it is not excessive in nature. This is a philosophical argument that has common sense.

44. The Oracle procures the definite resolution of employing its elements introduced, and offers us the practice of its teachings in accordance with its revealed philosophy. With satisfaction, we are attempting to reach a certain state of fulfilment.

45. To serve any purpose wisely, the purpose must be recognised in order for it to be established in our minds consistently. When we discuss the topic of satisfaction, we are discussing something that is relatable to us. This is how we understand our needs.

46. That is the case with the concept of eros; it relies on every principle, including the fundamental component of satisfaction. It does not imply that because we seek satisfaction, we are animalistic in our conduct.

47. How do we know precisely that we are satisfied with our need and desire? That is a question to which only we must discover the answer in time. We can seek answers to our questions outside of our knowledge, but eventually, we must answer our own questions with rationality.

48. We know when we have truly comprehended the concept, in its comparative state of awareness and existence. This is achieved by our consciousness. It is our consciousness that permits us to perceive the depth of our desires and our capacity for satisfaction.

49. The expression of satisfaction is the mere contemplation and acceptance of eros. We express that of which we are satisfied in our desires and pleasures. To have desires is not a sin or a mark of indecency. It is natural to express our desires.

50. Thoughts and emotions are governed by the mind, but every principle is capable of independent action and decision. Thus, we are of a free will and mind to decide and act for ourselves. It is the remembrance of our inner self that compels us to search for our satisfaction.

51. From that surmisal, we are very conscious of that sequential outcome and effect. We learn from those things that give us true knowledge and we learn to accept those things that are desirable as being an intrinsic part of our character.

52. Philosophy is the reliable answer offered to the fascinating question of our satisfaction. We reach a point of self-awareness with its utility and purpose. Ergo, our satisfaction is measured by what we are conscious of regarding its relevance.

53. Philosophy supplies the instrumental answer and the idea of its meaningful purpose and instruction. It should not be anything else beyond that. When referring to satisfaction in the philosophical sense, we are referring to the period of time when our body connects with the mind and soul.

54. Therefore, the cause of its great effect is what we seek and need in our lives to operate our mind with the ability to discern needs from vices. Whatever vices we obtain are the signs of our susceptibility and avidity, and whatever needs that are pleasures are the signs of our contemplation and enjoyment.

55. We should know that the notion of desires is a natural form of our enhanced natural expression. The place where we find it is as important as when we seek its optimal utilisation. This is indicative of its function and purpose.

56. In the greater scheme of eros, satisfaction is the consequence of a relative emotion that benefits love or desire, happiness or sadness. It can be said that satisfaction is the ultimate state of our mental exploration.

57. From those sentiments expressed, our healthy state of mind is consolidated afterwards through this concomitance. The mind understands the body effectively, as the body understands the mind. This is a logical process.

58. We are constantly experimenting with love and desire through emotion, or another amorous proclivity that we experience in daily life. What we know about love and desire is mainly due to our ability to discern the distinction between them.

59. Satisfaction is the eventuality of the completion of our emotional escapades or episodes that we define as relevant or not. We indulge in the creative realm of our mind that produces our pleasures, and the body that fulfils those desires.

60. The truth is not what is our current reality, but what we perceive that reality to manifest as, in its form and essence. What is meant by those words is that we often depend on our perception of what something is in its probability rather than in its actuality.

61. The desultory nature of satisfaction is often insinuated within the incisive presupposition of our originality in seeking contentment. We should search for things that are not only accessible to our needs but practical also. Yet, we tend to desire things that are material in nature.

62. What is unique is that we constantly attempt to justify our behaviour through our somatic expressions and interpretations. There is no need to justify our desires when we understand that they are part of human nature.

63. When addressing the issue of what satisfies us, we tend to generalise satisfaction as a basic need. This is how we simplify it. We do not need immense pleasure to be satisfied, but neither must we exclude pleasures altogether.

64. Ipso facto, we are led to believe that satisfaction must involve physical pleasure combined with desire. This statement is not misleading. What we should understand is that the mind enables the body to experience satisfaction.

65. Despite that presumption, truth is not always expressed accurately in the ipse dixit that is claimed or posited. This is why we should adhere to the teachings of the Oracle, for their philosophy and practicality.

66. Physical satisfaction can be perceived differently from mental satisfaction. What is bodily does not exclude the mind, and what is mental does not exclude the body. This is why we explore both our mental faculties and somatic desires.

67. It must be noted that in the general perception of this concept, its explication can be understood as practical. To be practical does not imply we know everything; it simply suggests the application of logic.

68. Who does not wish to be completely satisfied physically? Who does not wish to be satisfied emotionally? These are the questions we ask. When we reach that state, we demonstrate our satisfaction clearly.

69. Once again, displaying satisfaction is not merely about expressing desire, but about the nature and meaning of that expression. Desire alone does not bring satisfaction. It is the experience of unity between mind, body, and soul that enables this state.

70. All components of our human nature are defined in the essence discovered through the mind, body, and soul ex hypothesi. Having desires is central to human nature. When we choose to express that part of ourselves depends on its context.

71. The ad hoc notion we encounter is the ascribable belief that satisfaction is conditioned only by natural pleasures. It is true that we gain satisfaction from pleasures, but this does not mean we cannot be satisfied without physical engagement.

72. Within the relativity of eros, there lies the philosophical principle that is commonly perceived and validated through our experience. What we believe to be factual is what we can demonstrate to be irrefutable. With desires and pleasures, we ultimately confirm their validity.

73. No one can claim to understand satisfaction personally without the experiential state of ecstasy accompanying it. Once we have known ecstasy, we become enraptured by its desires and pleasures.

74. This is where the genuine concept of satisfaction is best applied intuitively by the mind, and where we truly learn its application. Being naturally curious, we seek gratification through our desires.

75. If there were an empiricistic evaluation of the state of satisfaction, we would uncover the intricate role of eros. We would also discover that desires are not always satisfactory nor are they meant to be.

76. We possess the remarkable ability to analyse the process of attaining satisfaction whilst also experiencing its fruition. This compels us to understand how satisfaction operates through the mind, body, and soul.

77. What we assume is part of the intrinsic realisation and capacity explored through experience. Most things associated with satisfaction are sought through our needs and bodily desires.

78. To intuit a concept, there must be access to knowledge or information to aid understanding. It is not difficult to know what the mind, body, and soul desire with regard to pleasure, which are our actions we bear witness to their nature.

79. Satisfaction is a fundamental component of both mental and physical gratification, and once achieved, we appreciate its manifestation all the more. Clearly, satisfaction is a part of human nature.

80. The interest we share lies in the preservation of mind, body, and soul, which are essential to our stability. We must learn what satisfaction truly is and understand its genuine necessity.

81. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that any true form of satisfaction is acknowledged as the fulfilment of our essential composition. Yet we must remain mindful of the cause and effect of our desires and pleasures.

82. This point, once conveyed, appears reasonably effective from the rational perspective of the mind. The mind must be stable to be rational. This is fundamental not only to the mind, but to the body and soul too.

83. Indeed, nothing is perfect, and satisfaction is imperfect in its condition. It cannot function alone. It requires the interplay of mind, body, and soul to sustain it. Thus, we should accept its imperfection.

84. Our immeasurable needs outweigh the imperceptible doubts that might delay our actions or lead us into unnecessary and immoral vices. We must understand that seeking satisfaction requires understanding its purpose.

85. We may declare our satisfaction within the concept of eros, yet that does not exclude the possibility of irrational, impulsive behaviour. It is precisely this impulsiveness of which we must be conscious.

86. To rationalise the idea that our mind, body, and soul require satisfaction is to emphasise its necessity and function. It is not difficult to accept this once we value ourselves through self-awareness.

87. Perhaps we may not always reconcile love and desire, but we must acknowledge the importance of distinguishing between the two. Love is what we define it to be, just as desire is what we make it mean.

88. Must we love to be satisfied? Must we desire to be satisfied? Must we experience pleasure to be satisfied? These are personal questions. What matters is understanding that there is no single answer to them.

89. Once we discover those answers, we can begin to explain the need for satisfaction. It is not meant to be anything less than what we seek from it. Therefore, we should not expect satisfaction to be magical or unrealistic.

90. Satisfaction can imply countless things in life and also give us the ability to understand its purpose more clearly. Ultimately, we often discover that its role is more practical than excessive.

91. Abstinence is not a philosophical concept, as its conviction stems mainly from religious practice. There is no real need to restrain the mind, body, or soul from enjoying pleasure or satisfaction.

92. To refrain from pleasure is to constrain the natural inclination towards human satisfaction and desire, both of which are expressions of our nature. Why deny ourselves this, if we act rationally and ethically?

93. The Oracle views such drastic restraint as a contradiction against the natural disposition of humanity. Pleasure is part of our human condition. It is not immoral unless the desire expressed becomes immoral; it is the person who chooses immorality.

94. This would be regarded as a non sequitur from the outset, for philosophy teaches us not to be excessively indulgent in things that disrupt the balance of mind, body, and soul.

95. What is truly a sine qua non is the need to explain the rational basis of the argument when it is purely philosophical in inference. The Oracle teaches that we must remain mindful of the elements that influence our lives.

96. From the philosophical perspective, satisfaction is viewed as a human necessity governed by the will of the body, the rationality of the mind, and the awareness of the soul. Desire should not dominate us; it should be something we govern from the start.

97. Hence, the logical understanding of this concept aligns with the full set of principles behind eros. We can better comprehend the Oracle by learning what attracts our desires and pleasures. Ultimately, what brings us satisfaction?

98. This process is further confirmed in the orations and principles of philosophy. Clearly, satisfaction is something most people have experienced at least once in their lives.

99. Our past, present, or future relationships are determined by our desires and how we express satisfaction. Until we achieve full self-awareness, we will continue to ask questions about it.

100. The fact that we are rational beings allows us to understand the mind, body, and soul more deeply. Introspectively, satisfaction is the preferred culmination of human enjoyment and the embodiment of eros.
