"The Family seemed to really brag about 'pleasure' not being a sin--especially sexual pleasure; all the while forgetting, forbidding, or unaware that intellectual pleasure was also important and all that separates us from chaos."

This is such an awesome statement. I get very excited, aroused, entranced, etc., from reading, listening to a good lecture/presentation, discussing a complex subject, or just thinking about a concept and its relationship to my observations and experiences. I do feel a sense of order comes out of this process, but I really like the way you put it.
