The Main Causes of Addiction

Addictions is a disorder that causes people to act in a compulsive behavior that is hard for them to control. Their compulsive behaviors are usually satisfied through the dependence of certain substances or stimulus, such as drug, sex, food and money. In order to find the main causes of addiction we need to find the root causes of it. To do this we need to not only study our physical bodies but also our energetic bodies.

When we break matter down to the fundamentals, it is made of conscious energy that is intelligent in nature. Our bodies are made of matter; therefore, they are also made of intelligent energy. This energy is always vibrating toward a state of balance and harmony. Vibration is needed to give energy expressions. These expressions have infinite possibility; therefore, they can manifest into anything.

All the different types of material that we see in our realities and chemical in our bodies are nothing more than expressions of energies. This also means that addiction is an expression of energies. Addiction occurs when our energies are either blocked or out of balance.

There are many things that can cause our energies to become blocked or imbalanced. For the case of addiction, it usually has to do with something that we do not understand or are fearful of. Addiction is a misunderstanding of the desires that make us temporarily happy. When we do not understand our desires, we tend to become addicted to them because they give us a false sense of happiness. This kind of happiness is temporary which is why we always want more.

The desire to always want more is caused by not understanding why we wanted the desire in the first place. Once we understand our desires, our addictions will decrease or stop because we have gained enough knowledge of the desired experience. By achieving this level of knowledge, we can arrive at deeper levels of understanding. This can cause hidden emotions to rise from our subconscious to our conscious minds. As a result, we can find the emotions that are causing our addictions.

The idea of addiction as something that starts at the subconscious level is well known in the advertisement industry. This is why they used subliminal messages in their ads to hypnotize people’s mind. The subconscious mind is more powerful than the conscious mind because it operates at a high level of consciousness. This is why the subconscious mind can detect certain things the the conscious mind can’t. Subliminal messages are designed to target the subconscious mind. Below is a short video clip showing how subliminal messages are used in ads.

At the physical level, addiction can cause us to become dependent on certain materials to give us a sense of happiness. For example, when we use drugs on a regular basis our bodies can become addicted to them. If this happens, our bodies can have withdrawal symptoms when they are not provided with drugs. Symptoms can range from headaches, seizures, depression and emotion problems.

Our egos can also make us addicted to certain things. When our egos become overactive they can trigger certain compulsive characteristics that we have. The ego is the false self, when overactive it can cause us to do compulsive things that can lead to stressful situations. Two good ways to bring our egos back into balance is to understand who we truly are and increase our self-empowerment.
