Emotional and addiction healing - 24.07.15
This is a deepening of the previous video about the brilliance of the AA program.
The most basic need of any human being is to be loved and to love. I'm going to be so bold as to say that almost all human problems, fears, traumas, or what I call anarthas, come from this fear that I am not loved, and even more deeper, I am not lovable. Almost all anger, greed, envy, fear, resentment, comes from this fear.
To alleviate our fears, we turn to all kinds of addictions, chasing love where it can not be found. We turn to alcohol addiction, drug addiction, love addiction, food addiction, TV addiction, phone addiction, and so on. To resolve these, here are 4 points to consider.
1. Identify if you're addicted. How do we tell if we're addicted? By being able to walk away from the thing whenever we choose to. Do you have the freedom to walk away whenever you want?
2. Understand that it stems from emotional insecurity. The AA program addresses it - there is no advice, only connection with the Supreme being, as well as with other human beings. There was an experiment on rats who chose morphine water over regular water when alone but regular water when in a community. What then to speak on such emotional beings as humans!
3. Build a community where giving is encouraged. My recommendation is to find the nearest Isckon temple near you so you yourself can be engaged in any of a wide variety of services. Also, finding an appropriate AA program will help you.
4. Advice can be very useful, but set a clear intention to find a way to give advice without being attached to whether the person accepts it or not, otherwise it's about you needing validation, not about them. Like - I think this resource will be useful to you, feel free to take it if and when you need it. And then let it percolate into them so they take it if and when they want to.
