I'm a recovering addict and phyzophrenic in remission
I am an addict because I mistook euphoria for true happiness and a psyzchophrenic because I misused psychedelics in pursuit of euphoria rather than spiritual medicine, looking not for the inconvenient truth but the easy spiritual experience.
the Focus of My Blog
i will talk about spiritual truth pointing towards the inconvenient structure of truth
A big part of my story is addiction, but I focus on truths that are transferable to anyone having trouble existing, rather than the narrow focus of those who have trouble with substances or behaviors
On my path, I have drawn correlations between addiction and oppression, both overt and covert. Seeing addiction as behaviors that are unhealthy but treated as necessary for survival. The addict lives life in survival mode because they have identified the addiction as essential for survival and put the addiction above a relationship with themselves.
Social consciousness is the result of collective decision-making, and through the art of writing and philosophy, I hope to point towards a collective agreement of interdependent coexistence and will talk about the idea that if we are collectively safe, then we should feel invidiously safe. If we exist symbiotically with our fellow humans, we should not feel the fear of an existential threat.
I use AI to edit my writing but not create my content
I may revisit topics from a new perspective
