Addicts are seekers. What do we seek? Transcendence. The
mystical. The sacred. Why do we seek the type of
experiences that are outside what we call ordinary consciousness?
Rather than look for answers out of pure scientific curiosity,
we're more likely seeking a way out of suffering, albeit in
addictive ways. Yet, when we turn to twelve step programs for
refuge, we're often told that suffering is optional. It's
a popular meme, but is there any truth to it? Join me this week as
we meditate, analyze and discuss this notion from the perspective
of Buddhists in recovery, or whatever kind of seeker you may
be.
All are welcome. Send questions to info@compassionaterecovery.us
