MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Since our focus is principled and always happening now - they will always in all ways reflect the moving nature of current events.
Trying to feel better about what is wrong is the mental trap of addiction. To have things as they are not asking for the opposite consequence of our seeming wants to appear unwanted, unexpected, and having nothing to do with us. Addictive behaviors all attempt to prove we are victims - to our self - having created and then chronically deny the effects we cause.
Addiction is a mental problem. What we insist on resisting will persist. Thinking we're not doing what we're doing creates a major inner conflict and emotional turmoil. Getting better at doing what is wrong is unhealthy, unnatural, and dysfunctional.
Developing this practice fosters anxiety and stress since chronic conflict cannot be resolved no matter how many ways we try to outthink it or think running "head-on” into compulsions can escape “it’s-grasp”. Chronic stress quickly becomes traumatic stress. Disorders are out of order, so acting out of order becomes the order of the day - and the reversal of our thinking is at the core.
Assuming addictive characteristics in thought-presumed personalities that are not who we are but something we can think we are as proof we are right. Thought is the primary action preceding all voluntary choices to express our “self”.
We cannot let go of what is essential since it is our essence. And will not let go of what we think or claim we are not doing. After all, what is there to let go of if we’re not responsible for what we’re doing? The pressure caused by thinking what is happening is not happening is depressing for good reason. Feeling guilt and shame are accurate consequences of this circular line of twisted reason and ample evidence we are guilty of the shame we are creating - revealing we know more - and are more - than we think we are and know.
There is no stereotypical shape, color, size, or texture that can be attributed to predict addiction. Anyone can be impacted or affected by it. Many who are addicted don't think they are - especially since addiction is an addiction to thinking, and what we think of our-self - or ego. There is though one common hallmark shared by all types of addictive behaviors. It is an unwillingness to learn from experience.
Nobody is immune to what affects us all.
We are not here to treat addiction. We are here to dis-solve the del
We Know We Know.
We Are Aware We Are Aware.
We Are as We Are.
Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature’s Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.
Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.
Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.
Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.
