From my studies with Ken Keyes Jr. ( The Handbook to Higher Consciousness, I learned that an addiction is a programming (or operating instruction to your bio-computer) that triggers uncomfortable emotional responses when the things, people and situations don’t fit the programmed pattern in your mind. If your addiction is not met you respond emotionally in a computer-like way and automatically play out a program of anger, worry, anxiety, jealousy, fear, etc. Same is true to how someone that is addicted to a control substance , if they are not able to get the drug, alcohol, meds, etc. their body show the reaction.
The reason why addictions destroy your happiness is because they dominate your consciousness and keep you from perceiving clearly. They separate you from others and block your energy flow.
By practicing daily to pin-point your Addictive Programming and changing them to Preferences can aid you in living a life of unlimited happiness.
I have been practicing using the 7 centers (Security, Sensation, Power, Love, Cornucopia, Conscious-Awareness, Cosmic Consciousness) to pin-point where my addictions are rooted; for now I am focusing on the first 3 Centers because that is where I am at on my journey.
Security Center – Fear, Apprehension, worry, anxiety ,panic, guilt, sadness, confusion, embarrassment, jealousy.
Sensation Center – Frustration, boredom, disappointment, etc.
Power Center – Anger, annoyance, irritation, impatience, hate, rage, jealousy
Along with the 7 centers I have memorize the 12 pathways which helps in the reprogramming of my mind. ( Freeing Myself/ Being Here Now/ Interacting With Others/ Discovering My Conscious -Awareness) each section has three reprogramming paragraphs.
Look for more information on these in my next blog
