Letting Go of Addictions and Compulsive Behaviours

Introduction

There are many, many methods that people have used, with varying degrees of success, for releasing themselves from addictions and compulsive or habitual behaviours, and I am not going into those here. Rather, I am putting forward a particular combination of methods that I myself am finding most efficient in clearing mental habits, and which have the potential to easily and quickly clear pretty well any sort of addiction or compulsion, ranging from minor to really serious.

I am not concerning myself here only with substance misuse but really all compulsive behaviours, and that includes sexual behaviour. In humans, healthy sexual activity can occur when two people (irrespective of gender) open up to each other in mutually respecting love, so that then it is not just sexual activity but true lovemaking. Contrary to almost universal misunderstandings, such healthy sexual activity is neither compulsive nor habitual, nor driven by any sense of need. It is not driven by an 'appetite' nor a 'drive'. Apart from the case of a vanishingly small proportion of people very advanced in their self realization process, ALL of the sexual activity that actually occurs for people is driven by desire and feelings of need, and obstructs the manifestation of true love, which latter is the basis of healthy sexual activity. Great benefits come from releasing oneself from such desires and compulsions, for then experiences of genuine love can manifest.

Although the methods I'm presenting below do not directly take away true chemical addictions, the fact is that the main factor that keeps a person addicted is their own emotional addictive tendency, and this can be released. To come off the drug is then merely a transient uncomfortable phase (albeit more like a serious illness in the case of heroin-type drugs). Typically people who are on addictive drugs (including tobacco) will blame their addiction on the drug or other people or something in their physical circumstances (like losing a job) rather than take responsibility for themselves and recognise that the prime cause and seat of their addiction is, to at least a considerable extent, the dark force (also often called astral beings, dark entities or even demons), and very often spirit attachments too, controlling them.

One problem about the controlling activities of the dark force is that it seeks to control the affected person emotionally to turn them away from really effective means to clear addictions, and indeed to clear themselves of their dark force interferences and any entities. In particular, as I experienced myself, the dark force will fight tooth and nail against their human 'host' using any really effective emotional clearance method such as The Work, because, if it were used, say, daily, it would be speedily dissolving the very emotional issues that the dark force is exploiting to create the addiction. The dark force will similarly fight against a person using any other truly effective means to the same end, so that it is rare for an addicted person to be properly motivated to use any such method.

Serious Warning - Any methods using hypnosis are harmful and actually dangerous.
I explain why in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way.

Dissolving the emotional addiction

Until in May 2007, when I took on the dramatically life-changing beginnings of the healing and self realization methodology that I present in Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way, of which more below, The Work and the EFT were the most fundamental, easy and speedy way that I knew to let go of the emotional aspect of any addiction or habit. In The Work you simply identify the particular beliefs and stressful thoughts that underlie the habit or addiction and then write them down and put them through a simple but rigorous inquiry process. This enables you to stop believing those thoughts. Such thoughts will commonly be things like "I've got to have xxxx", "I've got to do xxxx", "I need xxxx", "I couldn't survive without xxxx" and "I can't be happy unless I have [or do] xxxx". These are ALL untrue thoughts, but realizing that intellectually doesn't get you out of an addiction, and that's where the inquiry process comes in. Your mind then lets go of its attachment to those thoughts, and that issue, or a good bit of it, is then clear and you at last feel free to live differently.

It's important that the inquiry work be done on a broad front and not just applied to the one issue, as I explain on my page on The Work. If a habit doesn't fully dissolve when a whole worksheet of relevant thoughts has been put to inquiry, it doesn't mean that The Work has failed, but continuing work on a broad front is required, and you would find that in your further inquiry work variants or repeats of thoughts related to the habit or addiction would still keep cropping up. You then put each of those to inquiry, and so you continue, improving many aspects of your life as well as progressively weakening the particular issue. If, however, you just try to address the habit or addiction in isolation from other issues, then you will very likely not get very far with your inquiry work.

A particular reason for doing the inquiry work on a broad front is that the particular habit or addiction is itself an attempt to run away from one or more emotional issues which need addressing. So, without putting to inquiry the thoughts underlying such issues, it could be quite hard to get free from troublesome addictions even if they do appear to have been addressed directly through inquiry.

The clearance process is most effective if the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is used as well. Generally I find it best to use the EFT first on an issue, followed by putting the latter's underlying thought(s) to inquiry using The Work. And of course, for those who cannot get on with The Work, the EFT can still be very effective on its own - provided one develops sufficient skill in making up really effective setup statements.

The fundamental drawback of the above methods - and a more effective alternative

Such methods, when awarely and skilfully applied, can work wonders - though, as I explain in my page on The Work, there are actually quite serious limitations and constraints upon the effectiveness of that method and indeed the EFT, because of the phenomenon of the parasitic lost souls that are attached to very many people (this is much more common than spirit attachments). It is not so easy to use those methods to clear out the emotional issues and traumas of lost souls attached to you - but yet those are used by the dark force to control and attack people and to keep them in dependencies and addictions.

However, in any case the vast majority of people with addiction issues have blocks to the very awareness and mental acuity that would enable them to make good use of such methods. Indeed, the vast majority of all people have such blocks regardless of whether they have an obvious addiction issue! Indeed in most if not all such cases I myself would see what is to me an obvious addiction - that of being strongly attached to staying more or less the way one is, and not accepting personal change in one's life! That may be normal, but what it isn't is either healthy or genuinely natural. It is the dark force that seeks to cultivate such stuck-in-a-rut outlooks on life.

I myself, without any obvious addiction issues, and getting a lot of good use out of The Work and EFT, still almost immediately found myself with no further cause to use those methods once I'd taken on the dramatically effective yogic life force energy cultivation and life enhancement practices (not ordinary Yoga!) of Stephen and Lynda Kane, which I took up and soon adapted, developed and added to, to create what is, as far as I can yet tell, a fully comprehensive genuine self realization methodology, which is also built upon my own outlooks and insights derived from my having been enlightened from 1997 and thus having an understanding of the nature of consciousness and reality that nearly all healers do not have, and for this reason being much more difficult for the dark force to lead astray than healers in general.

I therefore refer you to Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way, where you will find more details of my range of methods. I do include there The Work and the EFT, but I make it clear that certain other methods that I present are much simpler, easier and altogether still more effective, and, at least to my current understanding, even progressively weaken the hold of and eventually clear out any attached entities of any type and progressively 'fade out' dark force interferences and attacks.

Getting round the issue of lack of motivation

It doesn't require rocket science to realize that still the majority of people with addiction issues would have a block to using even the abovementioned yogic practices, just because the addiction itself (and the dark force interference causing it) demotivates them from using such vigorous practices on a daily basis. There is no 'magic wand' for such situations. If a person simply doesn't have the motivation to help themselves, then what do you do?

One thing that could be done, and would make tremendous sense, is for healthcare services to include facilities for group sessions for carrying out those practices - especially Self-Power Walking and Grounding Post - under the guidance and encouragement of an active user of the methods. That wouldn't reach anything like everyone of course, but at least some otherwise unmotivated people could be greatly helped that way. Addiction centres and mental health institutions, and indeed really all medical centres, would benefit their communities very much more if they offered this service.

Another way that an unmotivated person can be helped, at least to some extent, and in a very fundamental way, is to set up an Energy Egg on its transmitter base, it and its base having been energetically connected to that person - especially if that Energy Egg itself has been connected to an Archangel, the Energy Egg's biggest 'brother'.

However, putting all one's eggs (sic) in one basket is never the wisest thing, and actually The Work and the EFT both work very well when people are encouragingly guided through using them on specific issues, including those relating to addictions. So the availability of 'facilitation' group or personal consultation sessions for either or both of those methods would also be a great enhancement to addiction, mental health and medical centres. It would not be the great extra drain on financial resources that many people would imagine, for the simple reason that these emotional clearance and self realization methods make people much healthier generally - physically as well as mentally - and so these people would progressively require less and less from the medical and other support services, becoming much more self reliant and self directing.

Methods to clear out or manage the interfering influences

For virtually all people with troublesome addictions, dark force interferences and, more often than not, attached entities of some sort - particularly commonly soul fragments - are the cause and indeed a great aggravator of the condition.

Therefore it is crucially important to address this issue. However, the good news is that any really effective emotional clearance method (see above) is carrying out the necessary groundwork for removal of entities and progressively reducing interference from the dark force, and, through dissolving the emotional stress or trauma material, is actually progressively removing the 'ammunition' that the dark force uses in controlling and even attacking the person to keep them in their addicted state. Any entities would presently be cleared out, especially if the Returning Life Sequence is also being used, and over a fair period the dark force interferences of all types would be 'faded out' of the person's life experience. Once one has got to that stage one is in a quite advanced state of self realization and would be extremely unlikely to be able any longer to gain or retain any significant addiction or attachment.

For management and completely safe (do it yourself!) removal methods please refer to my page Dark Force and Entity Troubles - The Real Way to Clear Them. This covers the main types of problematical non-physical entity and influence. As I say, though, the most fundamental action to take towards disempowering and removing the entities / dark force interferences, and not getting any more back, is to clear out the person's emotional issues - especially traumas, and generally to build up the strength of every part of the person's non-physical aspects ('energy system') so that there are no weaknesses, distortions, blocks or imbalances that the dark force or entities could exploit. What better starting point than a combination of methods given in The Guide to Complete Self Actualization and Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way?

Self empowerment rules - okay!
