if we are to expand our consciousness, it is imperative that we experience the fullness of life in a way by which we can learn and grow from all these experiences. The escapes of animalistic sex, alcohol, drugs, chronic negativity, and so on, are not in themselves bad, because these addictions reveal deeper aspects about ourselves that we attempt to suppress.  We also seek salvation through artificial means, especially technological devices, such ass television, computers, and phones. What we seek through these devices, though, reveals our internal struggle, because our suppressed nature, holds a repressed anger, which we stimulate through vicarious violence. The violence we seek through “Poor” entertainment , the news and social media, discloses the the frustration we harbor within as a result of our empty, uncreative lives. We are attracted to acts of violence because they reflects our inner turmoil, and our ego loves that. The system also knows that.

Addictions tend to teach us a lot about ourselves. We are trapped in a cultural tendency to become addicted. Addictions vary only in degree, from alcohol to Televisión, video games or social media, and according to what is socially accepted.

Mental disease will continue to increase if we don't become more conscious about what our mind is consuming. we are actually encountering the decay of our nervous system through the process of incessantly consuming external stimuli, which keeps our mind numbed and neurotic.  Of course the media and other unnatural systems, such as government, do not view any of these as an addiction, because it keeps people blindly following their agendas.

What’s your drug of choice? What’s your distraction of choice?
