Recovery
If a spiritual practice is not designed to awaken you to this moment, where life is, then it is an escape from, and therefore a denial of, life.
Recovery through non-dual realization dismantles the one on the path or in the program.
Do you believe you are an individual person with choice and control who lacks something and who needs to find completion in the future through drugs, alcohol, gambling, relationships, sex, or some other activity or substance? In seeing through this illusory, time-bound, thought-based contraction called "self," there is only unconditional love of what is. Unconditional love lacks nothing. Therefore, it seeks nothing.
The recovery talked about on this page is not a better path. It is not about seeking anything including recovery. It's the end of seeking.
