Buddhist Perspective on Value, Sentiment, Attraction? Paul Bloom: The origins of pleasure describe pleasure based on information. To further elaborate original artwork is worth more than a duplicate, how we get attached or less attached to a person on additional information we have, how a artifact gains value because it was used by a famous person, and how you experience pain and pleasure due to additional information you have.  How is this explained through a Buddhist perspective in terms of how attachments works.
The following gives an in depth explanation of the Jhanas and how at higher levels
Here is a very short excerpt from a long presentation

  By reflecting upon the second jhana as more tranquil and sublime than
  the first, the meditator ends his attachment to the first jhana and
  engages in renewed striving with the aim of reaching the higher stage.
  He directs his mind to his meditation subject — which must be one
  capable of inducing the higher jhanas such as a kasina or the breath —
  and resolves to overcome applied and sustained thought. When his
  practice comes to maturity the two kinds of thought subside and the
  second jhana arises. In the second jhana only three of the original
  five jhana factors remain — rapture, happiness, and one-pointedness.
  Moreover, with the elimination of the two grosser factors these have
  acquired a subtler and more peaceful tone.[17]
  
  Besides the main jhana factors, the canonical formula includes several
  other states in its description of the second jhana. "Internal
  confidence" (ajjhattamsampasadanam), conveys the twofold meaning of
  faith and tranquillity. In the first jhana the meditator's faith
  lacked full clarity and serenity due to "the disturbance created by
  applied and sustained thought, like water ruffled by ripples and
  wavelets" (Vism. 157; PP.163). But when applied and sustained thought
  subside, the mind becomes very peaceful and the meditator's faith
  acquires fuller confidence.
