Many of us suffer from many forms or some form of addiction
and this can be brutal to live with. Especially when you feel you have no
control over the addiction, it could be gaming, gambling, drugs, food, porn, alcohol,
gossip, shopping, work, even energy. Since we live in a free will universe you
have the choice to do the things you do and you have to live with the
consequences of that action, I feel deeply that for some the road leads to
poverty and death in some cases which is why it is important for you to
meditate on your feelings so that you may grow and evolve and the addiction or
affliction can vanish over time.
Mine is gambling, I love slot machines too much but
sometimes I will win $100 and go to withdraw the money and every casino has a
reverse feature so I end up thinking I can double my win and when it gets down
to fifty five cents you tend to feel pretty down about yourself. But this behaviour
can be modified and changed within with some work and dedication, funny thing
is I feel entering the lottery is fun and pretty much the only way I will
attain great and profound wealth so a blanket exclusion on all gambling would
bring me a great sense of loss and a powerful denial of all my dreams and
hopes.
There were times I was afflicted with many addictions and
issues such as marijuana, smoking, alcohol, crime, and food but I slowly was
able to eradicate those by some dedication and some great withdrawl periods lol
When you feel you aren’t alone in your struggle you gain a
super wonderful perspective because when you realize that most of the world is
struggling with some sort of karmic issue at some point in their lives. That is
why we are here essentially is to understand why we make the choices we do and
either keep making them or work on the basis for that feeling.
With some work you can achieve greatness and ascension, and
there are those hyper weirdos that believe you should just eat brown rice to
achieve enlightenment but I think they are all wrong hahaha
Even eating meat is pretty brutal for most people to think about
which is why I thank the meat for its sacrifice and take on the act of asking
for forgiveness in my meditation because there is even small little things that
we do that have a great impact on the world and sometimes in a negative way
I used to think that system busting and changing the matrix
or world was my way to freedom but found that it only leads to more doors
unlocked into suffering. The only real way to save the world is to save
yourself and that is to be as friendly, loving, happy, caring, & compassionate
as possible and do what you can to add more beauty into the world by creating
things like art or music or food or intelligent conversation or dialogue.
Like you, I have things I am working on as a human being and
will always have that struggle, when I win millions upon millions in lottoMAX I
will still struggle with health issues and the gambling aspect of my
personality and other things.
It is great to dream and to believe because in a world of
abject darkness that is all we have, essentially.
