What is addiction? | July 30, 2025
Quick clarification: I am not a medical doctor or a medical professional of any kind, and the views I present in this text are my own views and not necessarily the views of the medical establishment. In no way am I trying to cure or recommend anyone with medical issues to take a course of action; this is merely me attempting to provide spiritual guidance by providing answers that address the many issues of addiction that go beyond the profane. If you are suffering from addiction of any kind, seek medical attention – I am again not trying to cure you or anyone else.
Addiction as it is portrayed by the revolutionary elite as something that a person is afflicted and affected by, and verily in the material sense this is surely the case and I have no further comments or opinions that diverge from that fact, but in the spiritual sense addiction can be seen as a process, a process of degeneration and decay, decay of the soul and indeed persons that are addicted often show tendencies of becoming more and more depraved as time goes on, for their soul and every particle of their willpower is being sapped by a force of evil that is occupying their soul, and the most advanced state of addiction is when the addiction has become a form of mental illness, when the demons have affected the soul to such an extent that the mental body has become completely out of tune with the celestial order and the qualities within the mental body exist in contradiction and imbalance with each other. Addiction is something that most people in the modern world suffers from to varying degrees, for the modern world is constituted in such a way that to acquire skillful means and becoming a better man would require the sacrifice of patience and discipline, for the laws and the so-called "rights of man" derived from the humanist axiom proclaims the superiority and extra nature of man, and thus anything that does not in the immediate short term satiate the needs of man is labeled oppressive and rearguard; it is a right for modern man to demand that he should have every single one of his needs fulfilled, often by an ever growing bureaucratic machinery that has come to justify itself to such an extent that it would be quite unimaginable for modern man to function within it. When every need, every demonic lust, is made into something that has to be not only tolerated and accepted but fulfilled, it becomes quite obvious that the enterprise of the modern world necessarily would make men addicted to everything imaginable under the sun, and this has also been made worse with the growing lack of patience and discipline in the modern world. In the end, can any man in modern times be said to not be addicted to one thing or another? There are of course many aspects of the material world that are immoral: such as drugs, junk food, an immoral lifestyle, perverted sexual practices, and a general lack of community with not only other humans but with all life under the sun. Verily, the thin layer called "civilization" has really made man into a creature in complete disharmony with nature, and as a result he has allowed himself to deteriorate, for that is considered the compassionate and egalitarian thing to do, for egalitarianism more often than not operates as the serpents propaganda and the end result is not the betterment, the Bodhichitta, but the deterioration of all men and in the end of all sentient life.
Here are some examples of what most modern men would consider to be addictions: Alcohol addiction, alcoholism; overeating, "Binge-eating disorder"; drug addictions, such as heroin abuse and cocaine abuse; pornographic addiction, such as watching to many naked women; smoking addiction, which means that someone smokes and can't quit smoking; internet/mobile phone addiction, which means that someone is unable to stop watching the internet and/or their mobile phone; and many many more addictions that I do not have time or energy to list here. The way I view these addictions and the many misguided attempts to "cure" people of them, is as an enormous fraud based on the humanist assertion that man is not in control of his mind, for under the liberal paradigm man has been rendered a slave to the state and the will of the populist horde, and as such it is not man's fault that he is addicted but rather the whole societal organism that should be blamed for the adverse actions of some few men, while most other forms of being, that otherwise should be characterized as an addiction or a very immoral behaviors, is tolerated and accepted. Indeed, the idea that a man can and should be rehabilitated and turned away from his natural inclinations is nothing short of totalitarian, for the revolutionary elite only opposes addiction so far as it poses a threat to them and their power base, and the only solution that they are able to concoct is to be in full control of the mind of man – this is the totalitarian essence of "rehabilitation". Only the man that has decided on his own, in full accordance with the moral boundaries of the universe, to break his immoral behavior—either because he has grown out of the tendencies or because he has decided to acquire skillful means—can be said to have become cured, not "rehabilitated", form his condition, for addiction is nothing else than a demonic possession of the soul, which has been encouraged by most of the revolutionary elite.

As usual, I call for purity and the practice of celibacy for that will surely gain you a lot in the new era. Do not fear this the close of the Kali Yuga. Again to clarify my views: on a spiritual level I regard addiction to be a form of demon possession and not something that can be or requires rehabilitation; only when the man has decided to cease his sin can he be said to be cured of his ill-ways.
