Addiction is all around us in American society, expressing and increasing unhappiness and disillusion. It exists because we aren't happy, and shows itself in the obvious forms of drugging and alcoholism, as well as in more accepted or more covert forms such as addiction to overeating, to television, media, video games and more from porn to sexual compulsions. A lot of people have issues of dysfunction or compulsiveness around money, compulsive spending or shopping, often adding to deep debt to fill an emotional need, such as looking or feeling good. People who are greedy may display a type of hoarding or addiction. Advertising helps delude and confuse us all as to what can bring true happiness. We are often motivated by the need to look good on the outside, by fear, selfishness and/or the compulsive need to be in control in life. But the temporary high we get from acting out in our desires never lasts for long.
Our culture's dysfunctional thinking about happiness and how to "get" it feeds into a compulsive culture rife with addicts and addictions. The misconception that happiness must come from something outside of us perpetuates materialism and a greediness that may be condoned or even looked up to. Overblown, all this leads to human suffering and injustice in the name of money- making. Its a story that repeats itself through history. In truth, nothing material can fill the “God- sized” that addicts try to fill with the stuff of their obsession. But only we ourselves can fill that void with Spirit, kindness and connection.
Spiritual Happiness
Spiritual happiness is an antidote to addiction. Its connected to love and virtue and cannot live for long in the heart that does not have these. This kind of spirituality does not need for an organized faith or pathway although these can help to keep on focus. The craving of our hearts is for connection and sharing, and without it there can be no happiness. Scientific studies show that we are truly beings needing social connection and cooperation, and that those who share and give are happier than those who don’t.
A Happiness that Lasts
In this temporal world, the happiness that springs from Spirit and the human heart, from love and spiritual feelings is the only happiness that can last. It often arises from inspiring readings and thoughts, from nature, from prayer, meditation, and from exercising our free will to act with kindliness and virtue or creativity. A relaxed pace, music, poetry or anything relaxing can bring on the happiness that lives inside us (from Spirit). This happiness, this spiritual state, is accessible any time we open our hearts to be present for it, to notice or tap into it.
The beautiful love and happiness that's born inside of us is Spirit inviting us to be with her. She's always ready to embrace us when we become even just a little willing to let go of clinging to our own agenda or what's hurtful, false, or leads to human degradation.
