We are very familiar with food and drug addictions, alcoholism, even shopping addictions. But to recognize an addiction to Instant Gratification Addiction is much harder, because it’s a normal way of life for most of us. Simply following a subtle thought, feeling or desire is what we’ve done for most of our life.
This can look like eating something that sounds good or satisfies a craving, maybe buying something we could use but don’t necessarily need, watching something on t.v. the our egotistical mind enjoys, but may not be good for our psyche, or it could be something we do sexually to satisfy a desire, which in turn will cause us to feel shame, guilt and regret.
Instant Gratification: The urge to satisfy a craving right away, without considering the long term effects.
The Root Problem
The problem stems from never being taught that we are not these Human Body/Minds, but rather we are the Awareness of them. When we start shifting into the Awareness Mode and being the Observer of the body/mind, rather than just giving into whatever thought and feeling arises, we begin to take back our life.
All Spirit Beings want to experience a life where we are healthy, financially free, and in control of our thoughts and feelings. The problem is; the Human Character we are playing, is not willing to do what it takes to have that life. It’s programming is to be self centered, lazy and apathetic.
That’s where We – Spiritual Beings come in and take charge of our human character, making it do what is hard, inconvenient and uncomfortable. To have a life of freedom, peace and happiness, will require us to often say no to the Egotistical Programmed Body/Mind with it’s selfish desires and free ourself from it’s prison.
What Do We Do?
Can you see that the secret is to separate from the Human Character? As long as we believe we are these body/minds we will remain a hostage to it, doing whatever it’s programming guides us to do. Which will only create pain and suffering and we will find ourself caught in a cycle of shame – guilt – regret, leading us to depression!
You are a very powerful being, I know that you can start today by living in Awareness of the Egotistical Programmed Mind and doing the opposite of what it wants to do.
