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).

Metaphor of Floating Foundations
Ocean beneath:
W1 reality is like a raging sea, a chaotic and unknown reality.
Foundation L2:
L2 is where our sensations and direct observations with the help of common sense gives birth to science. It creates an incomplete, evolving, and ever-changing model of W1 reality. Even L2 is floating on the ocean of unknown.
First And Second Floor L1 and L3:
L1 is where we fill out the incomplete W1 model with our hypotheses and guessworks (metaphysical beliefs). L3 is where our W1 hardware, memory of past emotions, and ... construct over L2 (instincts, and preferences).
In a healthy construction (that serves the feeler the best), L2 is the most robust, and then L1 and L3 are built on top of the foundation of L2.
Any construction is an interpretation of the ocean of unknown. Understanding this is frightening for any sane person. When even L2 is an approximate and incomplete description of W1, it's obvious that how much of L1 and L3 are made of illusions. Nezman understands the gravity of unknown. He constructs a well-balanced castle of thoughts on firm L2 foundations and well-proportionate L1 and L3 layers.
