There is no contradiction between will to power, will to meaning, and will to pleasure, and so on. All are manifestations of will to preference. Will to power is required to make will to pleasure and will to meaning possible. Feeler wants to get pleasure (through W1 body) or get meaning (through W2 body); therefore, it needs W1 power to provide W1 pleasure, rearrange W2 bodies, or control W1 events toward its desired W1 and W2 compositions.
The feeler has preferences. The feeler wants higher qualitative experiences depending on the composition of W1 and W2 bodies. It prefers certain W1 and W2 compositions over others. It wants power if regards power as a means to fulfill its preferences. It wants carnal pleasure because it is a preferable experience. It wants artistic beauty because by looking at it feels good. It creates certain meanings because by being associated with those meanings, it feels better. It wants survival as long as it has hopes for future preferable experiences (according to W1 and W2 bodies that at that moment give rise to his preferences).
