Goodness and pleasure are aspired to for the same reason: they both materially evolve toward Godhood

Contrary to St Thomas the natural impulses or instincts toward pleasure etc. are not from God, like the other natural instincts they lead to Godhood---while pleasure and the natural instincts are secondary as an aid in the drive to successful survival and reproduction, they are also a natural aid in evolving toward the ultimate success of ascending levels of Godhood.

Goodness and pleasure are aspired to for the same reason: they both materially evolve toward Godhood. These things do not move from the material to the spiritual, they move from the material to the supermaterial. Defining God as spiritual not only defames the material world it defames and blocks the material evolution to ascending levels of real Godhood.
