As I read the above post I feel again what I felt when I ‘channeled’ it. It still makes me feel up and good memories can do this for us.

What I’ve seen in people who have substance abuse problems is often a need to feel and experience the spiritual experiences that come with meditation and soul growth. I just think that most people are too impatient with meditation and spiritual practice. So they resort to artificial means of getting their highs. I’m not here to tell be what they should and shouldn’t do because I myself have had my share of artificial and non productive highs over my lifetime. I think every person has to decide on their own just how much they want to find that lasting expansion of consciousness and spiritual attitude that can deal with stress and anxiety.

To some extent we all choose activities that are diversionary to our true purpose here in this incarnation. Each one of us decides how much we will be ruled by desires and how much we will follow our true purpose and dharma in this physical realm.
