We are all addicted to something, and that something is our own pattern of thinking. We all start out with a construct, a container, that we are given as we grow up. As we mature, we deconstruct our beliefs and then reconstruct them.
We suffer to get well; powerlessness is where we start. We come to Spirit by doing it wrong. This is how we are cracked open, and how we break free from our ego. With our ego in charge, we would rather be ruined than changed.
We need critical self thinking---without it, our lives become idolatrous. We start to worship ourselves and our traditions, our habits. We need a container to hold the bigger idea; we need to feel good enough about ourselves so we can let go of ourselves. Only surrender can change us.
