Internet addiction and the need to waste time

[RitaJC]

General current theory is that addiction is just a way to distract you from something that is bothering you and that you are unable to face.

The best drug treatment programs try to delve into what's bothering you rather than only addressing the habitual aspect of the addiction, as if you break the habit without addressing the underlying issue you'll just restart the addiction or replace one addiction with another.

I agree. What is usually called an addiction is not the problem, it's just a symptom.



And even what is mentioned in this video is only one step in the right direction.

I believe what we are realky longing for is the experience of Truth = connection to our true Self = the One Infinite Creator.

As long as we are in the process of experiential awakening and can’t live FROM that connection “addictions” are helping to reduce the pain of that unfulfilled desire and continue the experience.
