It appears that one has to recognize and identify the nature of the problem if one wishes to heal it. Denial of addiction-patterns masking "not-love" impulses -- refusing to recognize the Self in (and larger than) patterns like Unworthiness, Fear, Guilt, Shame and Rage -- only perpetuates the heaviness of the disease, and leaches away more and more life, leading eventually to depression and death. I would not be at all suprised to learn that genuine physical immortality is our completely natural state, one essentially free of all addictions/obsessions/repressions (including addictions to relationships, sex, romance, "growth," food, money, power, drugs, and so on) :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
