Further Notes on Addiction |
Tuesday – June 9, 2026

For some time I have refrained from broaching the subject of addiction, though I have referred to it in many posts, mostly because I find that most people are so unbelievably ignorant about this topic that I actually struggle to understand and certainly accept that so many people allow themselves to be so opinionated about an issue that is truly nonpareil when it comes to dealing with the outstanding consequences of materialism. Again, why are pretty much everyone an addict of one sort or another these days? Is it perhaps because modern people are all bums? Well, to some extent it would be true to say and really assert that most people are bums, for most people have a kind of blasé "I don't care" attitude these days, but the specific issue of addiction is of course far more complicated that this: sure most people are lazy and will never realize their full potential, but we are here also dealing with very dark forces, and rally forces that do not allow themselves to be put under any kind of scrutiny, and as long as modern people continue to pretend that all if fine and dainty and that they can rest easy in the comforting lies of the modern world – they are mistaken and they will continue to suffer. They will continue to suffer because addiction is essentially about adversity: really, addiction is about the forces of Good and of Evil, about order, justice, pride and sensibly applied prejudice against evil and decay; and without the metaphysical awareness, read "Knowledge", to deal with these issues properly, it is quite impossible to deal with addiction. Of course, I should also mention that there is a growing acceptance of addiction and of that kind of evil and putrid lifestyle, and for the most part this acceptance is misguided, but the source of this acceptance, read "Tolerance", is to be found deep within, because after all, as I mentioned above, most people themselves are already highly addicted to all kinds of substances, and mark the word "substance" for these people are essentially in love with the substantive. They were first addicted to Marijuana or candy, read "Fatness", and then to Heroin. Truly, this is the definition of a "negative feedback loop", because once the one addiction to Candy, sensuality, or morphine lets up, they must move on, and at this point these people are really not in control of their bodies. So, if "drug dealing" looks like a man selling illegal "Crack" or Heroin on the streets, you must understand that drug dealing actually began a long time ago, with the exchange of truly bad ideas: I get to do violence and you get to feel high on life when you really deserve no such thing – quid pro quo. Also, drugs in the conventional sense that they are illegal may be about some kind of temporary enhancement of the imagination, but really when a man seeks to block reality and to replace reality with imaginary world, he is living a lie and this is the core problem with addiction – you are lying and you are losing your identity in the process and in the end your real and truly authentic self is being slowly replaced by a monster. Do you really want to commit murder; to commit murder upon your own soul? Now, to also clarify or rather to make a rather secondary and somewhat contingent distinction clear: there may or may not be value in enhancing your imagination under the influence of certain substances, but this must only occur under the strictest guidelines, and further this must also be carried out in the company of a master or a guru as a part of a sacred ritual.

    Addiction is a lifestyle, read "Cannibalism", and this is a point that must be made as clear as possible, because far too often people attempt to describe addiction as some kind of disease, which it is, and that because this is a disease, there should be no responsibility attached to the people living with addictions, and that there are evil structures in society that have enabled and even promoted the abuse of these substances, but this is only the case for certain addictions. Why should it be that it is considered quite right and perfectly in order for a man to binge on Alcohol, but once he takes Heroin is an outlaw? To me the inconsistency and the monstrous hypocrisy involved points to one thing and one thing only – politics. Yes, the politics of addiction and drug control is indeed a very interesting topic, and if you care to look more carefully into these things certain patterns begin to emerge: see, it was never about "drug control", it was about mind control, and I mean "mind control" in the truest sense, for if you consider the whole pharmacological industrial complex, monstrous as it is, it becomes clear that under certain circumstances people are allowed to promote drugs, as long as they serve a material end, and this is certainly why such things as ADHD and the pills associated with this rather made up condition, read Amphetamines and "Disability", are being "pumped out", because they supposedly make men more productive, and as usual, if it serves a material end it is allowed. So, while there is a metaphysical dimension involved here with the topic at hand (addiction), modern men have been conditioned into completely ignoring this, and instead focusing on addiction as an issue of inequality and helplessness, and to a lesser extent lifestyle. Yes, I will assert once again that addiction indeed is about lifestyle, but without the proper understanding of why lifestyles are not about the small individualism of "preferences", how would it be possible for men to improve, read "Self-Improvement", when they lack hope to begin with?

    First of all, breaking an addiction is not about "improvement" and once again it is not about individualism or the "community" failing its sons: breaking an addiction would entail many things and many of them too complicated to include in this post, but the most important thing that a man must carry with him if he is to break an addiction is a sense of righteousness, not towards himself but toward God Almighty over human power and the creation that he belongs to; it would be an attempt to put the world into proper order, read "Hierarchy"; for a man that exists in harmony with nature, a man that leads an organic life, feels no need to attach himself to an "alternative lifestyle" or an alternative ego – that man is complete within himself and his exterior is therefore only attached to his true identity. Yes, you should grow out of your addiction, but before you are able to do this, you must embrace your true identity.
