Processing Addictions: Part 1

1. Introduction

Today the subject that I have chosen is part of the Human Soul series of talks, and I’m calling it Processing Addictions. Today I’d like to talk to you about not only your addictions but how to actually confront them, and get through them and out of them, which is probably the more important thing to discuss than actually the addictions themselves. A few months ago I did a talk called The Human Soul - Expectations & Addictions, and today’s talk is the second one of that series about expectations and addictions.

So let’s look at addictions firstly as a bit of a revision in terms of what an addiction is and what an addiction does to you.

2. Causal emotions

When we’re little we have what I’ve been calling causal emotions, enter us. Now a causal emotion might be something like, No one loves me, the feeling that no one loves you; No one cares for me, I’m uncared for, I’m unloved, I’m unwanted, I’m not approved of, and I’m not accepted.

These are all fairly deep causal emotions within us. You could say as an aside that these types of emotions are emotions of how I feel about me.

Most of the really darkest, deepest emotions within us, which we are going to need to process at some point, are related to how I actually feel about myself. If I don’t resolve these negative feelings that I have about myself inside of myself I usually finish up projecting onto my environment, how I feel about myself in some way. So in the end a lot of times causal emotions get to how I feel about me; how I deal with the issues that I have within myself about myself. [00:07:19]

Of course, we also have a whole group of emotions related to that, about how we feel about others and how we treat others, but much of how we feel about others and how we treat others comes firstly from how we finish up treating ourselves before we even meet them. And so, for example, if I have a feeling inside of myself that I am unworthy to have money being spent on myself, then part of my Law of Attraction will be to attract a lack of abundance in my life. I am not going to have much personal abundance, I won’t have much funds and so as a part of that emotion, because I feel that I can’t spend any money on myself, I can’t look after myself, I feel unworthy in fact it to be looked after, I’m attracting a lack of abundance in my life.

So that’s how I feel about myself, but how does that get projected onto the environment is that when I notice somebody spending a lot of money, I zero in on them, There’s one there, she spends a lot of money. There’s another one who I think spends a lot of money. So we go around zeroing in on those people and judging them because we are already in this space ourselves of feeling that, I’m not allowed to spend money on myself so why should anybody be able to spend any money on themselves. Can you see the relationship? [00:08:46]

So a lot of times I finish up projecting how I feel about myself onto my environment, but the problem with these causal emotions is that they are so dark and so deep within me, they feel so hard to feel, that I don’t want to feel them.

3. How layers of emotions get created within us

Of course our parents of course don’t want us to feel them either, so as a child we start creating a heap of blockages to feeling these emotions.

3.1. An example of a child shutting down it’s grief due to fear of violence

So, for example, mum yells at me for taking five cents out of her purse when I was 3 year old, and she’s really upset about that, not because it is five cents, but because I stole from her. So she tells me all these bad things about myself; You’re just a bad boy, and so right at that moment I’m getting from her a
