The answer is no. Thousands of years of philosophy, spirituality and psychotherapy have not managed to hide this fundamental reality, this inescapable superiority of Nature over Mind.
It is very easy to snobbishly look down upon "hedonism", "pleasures of the flesh", etc, when you're physically distant from it...
All your philosophy is nothing compared to a pretty, bubbly girl hugging you with sincere feelings of love. What's more, you can actually do both. Be an excellent philosopher and an excellent womanizer.
If you have been denied this you're a subhuman doomed to a life of misery. I don't look down on those who want to kill themselves over it.
The only hope at this point is radical change, a deus ex machina. If things stay constant, we will be miserable until the grave.
