The pleasure we take in imagining ourselves doing things is often greater than the pleasure we take in actually doing them.
Pure virtuality does not obstruct the pleasure.
The confrontation with the material of reality weighs down the experience.
The phantasmagorical sphere does not allow true creativity.
The reality of experience is the teaching.
The reality of experience is above all the occasion for the experience of the limit and the assessment of this limit.
Welcoming the limit that we encounter is the occasion for welcoming the limited aspect of our being.
Sitting before the limits is the necessary step to creating the inner pivoting – the one that inclines us to true practice.
The path of pure virtuality is a path of suffering despite the apparent fluidity it offers.
It cannot be a return path.
In imagination, out of space and time, nothing happens.

Notes & Silence 
Is it fair to paraphrase this as:
« The anticipation is generally more pleasurable than the actuality. To avoid the disappointment, abandon the desire. »?

SImon, you’re such a paraphrase artist…
I should remember to read your few lines everytime I need to have an idea of what I have written in the developped version.

Excellent.

Why, thank you good sir. It’s just my way of trying to work out what some of your more obscure / poetic posts mean. However, there is the danger I might fix one meaning where others are possible – so I would counsel against reading my comments first.

Thanks.
I rarely listen to recommendations.
I intend not to contravene this principle.
