I recently saw this video on another blog that I follow which illustrates the process of addiction through animation.
It successfully portrays the traps of pleasure (addiction) as well as, towards the end, the freedom found through connection to Being.
Over the course of your growth journey, the simple connection to your being will be something that is fundamentally necessary to living a profound life. The sooner you get out of the cycle of chasing pleasure, the sooner you will reach the other side — and what is on the other side is degrees more joyful and profound than the small hits of dopamine that pleasure pitifully provides you.
The key insight is that Being will give you exactly that which you think pleasure will.
Contemplate the deep meaning that this video contains.
