Hunger and Addictions

Our digestive organs experience the world through consumption and combustion. They take what is outside us and assimilate it into our own beingness. The first temptation to turn stones into bread - emptiness into satisfaction - is a temptation to our organs of digestion. We feel we will be made perfect if we assimilate some outside thing - turn stones into bread. Turn dead minerals into the staff of life.

Hunger awakes us through discomfort or desire to a need or needs that seek nourishment. Our digestive organs want to be active. They want to consume, combust and assimilate.

Nourishment/Bread is any substance that is essential for growth, health, strength and fertility.

We need to seek food for our bodies and our souls that is good, not simply tastes good. To know what we need for nourishment we must penetrate our hungers.

Without self-knowledge our hungers can become false and addictive.

Addiction is a need that cannot be satisfied and plagues you with overwhelming demand. Addiction cannot be escaped nor managed without support (ministering of angels).

When we are out of grace, we are not balanced. We hunger for soothing or for stimulation. Without understanding the cause of our need for soothing or stimulation, we can be tempted to want to magically turn stones to bread. We become addicted to the false and the non-nourishing. You will never be satisfied and the demand will only grow.

Your addicted hungers want satisfaction (satis = enough, facere = make) - they want to "make enough."

We are addicted to certain substances, certain behaviors and certain intangibles.
Make a list of your addictions.
Substances - alcohol, chocolate, coffee, tobacco, cheese, jogging etc
Behaviors - biting nails or cuticles, facebook, shopping, texting, lottery tickets etc
Intangibles - knowledge, self-development, meditation

A demand/addiction is an insistent and pre-emptory request made as if by right. what in your life is pre-empted by the demands of your addiction? Your focus? Your responsibilities? Your truth? Your harmony? Your good deeds?

Imagine making choices and saying no to anything that does not contribute nourishment to yourself, to others and to the world.
