If we don’t know who we are, where we came from, why we are here (our purpose in life or our life path, we are setting the stage to become an addict. People are walking through their life without clarity about their own path. Not too many people are able to distinguish between false ego needs determined by societal trends & programming and true needs of an individual embedded deeply within a Soul. If we are disconnected from our source, we cannot help to become depressed and seek means of alleviating this pain-the main basis of addiction. Lack of self care and emotional healing, lack of connection to nature and of valuing the path of every human together with economic harshness in present socio-cultural climate has created conditions for a perfect storm of long term deprivation. It is said that internal matrix of our being re-creates external conditions and visa-versa.
