As human beings, we seem to be on a very destructive course that is headed towards destroying our family, society, and ourselves. If we continue on this path of addictive living and self-destructiveness, the outcome is immanent.
So, you cannot sit by in complacency as if all is well. Selfish living affects everyone. If you continue to destroy yourself through addictive living, you destroy us all. Unknowingly, you are bringing destructiveness to this beautiful earth.
To understand this is not an attempt to instill fear but the awareness of your actions having consequences. Is it not obvious what you are doing to yourself? Why are you carrying on with such a disparaging way of living?
Clearly, the mind fell into addiction because it was caught unaware. Now you are just going to correct that fact by being aware. In awareness, there is freedom from all addictions. When you are completely free, life is no longer a problem. Do you not see how simple that is?
To live your life in addiction is not living. To be addictive is to live a mechanical life without passion. To be trapped in any addiction is against your health. The repetition of such acts destroys your life. To live spiritually free is to live, vibrantly. So let us see if you can perceive the facts of all addictions and not try to escape from them.
Now, to go into this, is to inquire into the purpose of experience. Does experience have any meaning at all? All such actions become recorded as memory and from there you continue the same old things, addictively. So any experience that gives us the sensation of pleasure, no matter how destructive, the addiction wants it to continue.
Realize that addiction comes into being through inattentiveness. The mind being caught off guard becomes a slave to a particular thing. The attempt to be free of addiction, the very desire of trying to resist it causes it to persist. All such actions generate more energy for it to continue. So, through the wholeness of seeing the addiction without any desires of resisting it is the key to transcend it.
Therefore, the addiction to anything such as drinking or drugs brings you into mental slavery. To be a slave to anything is destructive. In such living, you are being destroyed. To be free of such living is the outcome of seeing yourself, spiritually whole.
To see the destructive nature of your addictions is a movement of intelligence. Realize that, all such addictions are conditional. Inattentiveness plants the seed of continuity the more you let an addiction grow in your life. The more it germinates in you, the greater it becomes.
Spiritually, all addictions in your life must be faced head on without the slightest intent of looking away. You must observe every aspect of your mind and heart. Every thought and every emotion has to be brought to the surface so one may face them, completely.
Spiritual understanding is the art of having no desire of removing the addiction but simply observe it with the wholeness of your being. With the totality of perception, you may observe, listen, and feel whatever is there in consciousness. It is the spiritual fire of perception that will free you so all addictions may cease corroding your life.
Will you let this take place within you?
