...design... there are 12 steps of design in permaculutre... 12 steps in the alcoholics anonymous program that is underlined by 12 principles... all of which are spiritual... this 12 step program has become the basis for many other addiction recovery programs... including marijuana... sex... heroin...
...addiction can apply to anything that voltages the senses... it is an attachment to that sense and the sensory response... for instance... witnessing sex... along with the sounds that go along with this may be enough for a guy to get aroused... this physical arousal to a 2-dimensional stimuli then can lead to a physical action... this is a perfect example of psycho-somatic... the screen and the sound are both psychological... they are just images... and sound... but they translate into a physical response... in this case, an erection.... this erection than is enough to seek the reward... the reward is the feeling of releasing semen... of course... the paradox is the second the semen is released, the downward spiral occurs...
...why do we experience this sense of reward... our brains are wired to produce children... by impregnating a woman we are rewarded... as the final product of an orgasm is the seed... the seed can potentially bear fruit... just like a fish that releases thousands of eggs and only some of them survive... we release thousands of semen with the chance of only one to coalesce with female egg...
...biologically ses makes sense... but what if it's not biological... what if it's just something we do because we want to get off... because we want to experience that sense of high... that reward...?... then it is pleasure seeking we are after... this can happen 2-dimensionally - porn - or 3 dimensionally - sex... in both cases... it is a constant seeking of this reward... then it is an addiction...
...is it good or bad... more than just morally... although morality should be a factor... it is physically and spiritually horrible for you to be in this place of pleasure seeking... it is injurious to your body and chemistry... it is horrible for your brain and how you engage with the world... it leads to a domino of behaviors and ways of being that are impacted... and spiritually it builds greater and greater separation as you have successfully made an object in the maya a point of deification...
...how do you get out of it?... embrace the wound that has led to this... how?... journal... reflect... go deep... interrogate... make peace with the damage... meditate on it... let go... from a place of Love... see it for what it is... merely an object... and a subjective response... the mind... the mind chooses... have empathy for the weak mind that engaged in this engrossment from a place of hurt... lacking... deficit... and embrace that which you Are... Infinite... atman... Brahma...
...grow deeper in the mediation... prayer... movement that aligns your body with the cosmos... food that Connects you... words that enrich You... music that draws You Closer... and in this way you have shifted the diet of the wolf... feeding the one that is in sattva and letting die the egoistic one that is in tamas...
...in this Way... You will transform...
