SE9EP5 - Self Discipline in the Early 21st Century
Manage episode 431574214 series 3460116
What if your daily habits were sabotaging your path to maturity and self-discipline? Join us as we explore this profound question with Scientologirl and Arthur Moudakis. Together, we uncover the complex interplay between drug use, emotional growth, and self-discipline. Can substances like marijuana and alcohol, which society often normalizes, actually stunt our emotional and empathetic development? We also delve into whether this immaturity stems from drug use or pre-existing trauma and share insights on the Purification Rundown's impact on mental clarity and self-awareness.
You'll gain a deeper understanding of how society's addiction to substances, including seemingly innocuous ones like sugar and caffeine, creates a challenging landscape for maintaining self-discipline. Highlighting L. Ron Hubbard's disciplined routines, we discuss how modern food manufacturing and the quality of drinking water contribute to today's obesity epidemic and poor health choices. From sugar consumption to alcohol and gaming, we examine how addictive behaviors often serve as coping mechanisms for trauma, making self-discipline an uphill battle.
Finally, we delve into the intricate relationship between physical sensations and spirituality. Can experiences induced by substances like LSD truly be considered spiritual, or do they merely offer a veneer of enlightenment? We ponder the influence of religious dogma and contemporary social themes on our understanding of spirituality. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges societal norms and encourages a mindful approach to substance use, self-discipline, and spiritual growth.
