When we speak of things of the flesh we speak of the temporary identity with which you are now consumed. It matters not how you choose to orient that identity with the experience of its interaction with the material world. What matters is that you base your existence on this temporary form. That is the addiction.
How many times in your previous paragraph did you begin each sentence with the word I? Iam this and I am that and I have accomplisged this and that and so on and so on and so on. That is the darkness.
Your "I" is a thing of temporary placement within a darkness that you are not moving out from but continuing to return to.
You say that you sacrifice much for asceticism. And yet you admit from your very first post that you find yourself the enemy to those here that seek higher being.
If you came to a doorway through which you could see nothing on the other side, and a sign on the door read 'once entering there can be no return', would you enter into it?
If not that is service to self.
If you came to that same doorway and the sign read 'enter here to discover immortality for one that you love, but you cannot return', would you enter?
If you did that would be service to others.
As your fellowman and brother in the All, I ask you to leave the darkness for All our sake. Seek your higher being so that we All might experience it. If you remain in the darkness you drag us All back with you. we are One!
Forget the "I", and love the All. That is our grand design and your destiny. Your "I" simply prolongs the darkness you force Us to share as the experience of the All. One day all of humnanity will proceed beyond the darkness, will you be the last one through that door? Where do you draw the line and begin to walk forward?
