Since no desire can complete itself -- by itself -- through anything it imagines -- its only recourse is to imagine “more of” whatever failed to satisfy it the first time around. This unseen cycle is the mainspring of all forms of addiction, as unconscious desire keeps trying to fill a bucket with no bottom by pouring imaginary water into it.

Since no desire can complete itself -- by itself -- through anything it imagines -- its only recourse is to imagine "more of" whatever failed to satisfy it the first time around. This unseen cycle is the mainspring of addiction; and, among other unseen self-compromising states, unconscious desire also drives that dark engine called "greed" -- as it keeps trying to fill a bucket with no bottom...

The reconciliation of opposing forces can only be realized through the unification of desire, which is its transfiguration.
