A: Addiction is the number one disease in today's society. Whether it is drugs, alcohol, tobacco and caffeine or wealth, work, sex, eating and exercise, most of us are addicted to something. Addiction is always to the memory of some pleasurable experience We get hooked on a memory. Even long after the stimulus ceases to bring us pleasure, deep down in our psyche the memory of pleasure is associated with the addiction. This memory is held at the level of our cells. Cellular memories cannot be erased which is why it is so hard to treat addictions. Even after years of freedom, a person can lapse back into addictive habits. The only way to truly overcome an addiction is to create another experience, so pleasurable, that it overshadows the previous memory. The addictive memory is not lost but now our attention shifts to a more powerful memory. The most pleasurable experience and memory we can have is that of Spirit. The more contact we have with Spirit through meditation or silence, the easier it becomes to overturn an addiction. If we have regular experience of the Spirit in our daily lives, we will not return to our addictive patterns. ~Tuesday, May 2, 2000 ~ * 반갑습니다. 전에 불교보드에서 뵙던 분 아니신지요? |
