addictions - by Shaun D PhD




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.
