May I attempt to interpret/summarize your prose?
The first two paragraphs state that a person's mind is able to feverishly focus on a matter. Paragraphs 3 and 4 say that curiosity and 'obsession' elicits originality. The next paragraph says that people can create unique order from chaos (figure stuff out). Paragraph 6 says that obsession will lead to self discovery ('alignment with the universe') and happiness ('bliss'). Paragraph 7 asks if this obsession is malignant (a 'curse').
The next two paragraphs seem to be the heart of the essay. It says to not 'yield' (settle) to sub-prime responses to your 'obsession' or curiosity. Also, the 'novel' response to your obsession will be a guiding light for people with similar 'obsessions' as yourself.
Was I close to your intended meaning?
