If you feed a dog at 7am every morning the dog knows to alert you when it is time to be fed. It doesn't need a watch. It just knows. How strong then must habits be? Swami V has warned us that the addiction to media is cursed with much restlessness and anxiety. Not his exact words. But you get the point. Most people are driven by fear and their dependency to these habits- we even find solace in our abusers. Sometimes the mind urges us to feed our addictions, there must be a chemical process somewhere in there that releases a type of pleasure or satisfaction for fulfilling that urge- even if it is a momentary pleasure. Tricky indeed.
Concerning meditation. I also have that engrained need to alert myself it is time to meditate especially when I am spiritually‘hungry’. Concerning the media; most likely I would have little occasion to speak of it and also be involved in the media, had it not been for an obvious connection with it here at the portal and people who have a right to express differing views… while all the time keeping participants aware that those views are not representative of mine or necessarily spiritual portals.
