Must be because the small self is not trying to kill the Self any 
longer, and the Self is not trying to kill the small self any 
longer. So there is less killing in one's system, hence desires 
become naturally more life supporting.

The small self subsumes itself in worshipful Bliss to the Self, 
making itself indistiguishable from the Self, merging in complete 
unity with it. 

Must also be because the identification is with more of life instead 
of the small life of the small self, and so there is more life to 
support with each desire.

Whether that makes one more high or more mighty, can't say. A 
healthy measure of both. Oh, and more mundane too...
