The "Spice" inside our body and Addictions

In our discord community, a friend created a #addictions channel. It’s a common issue many of us have to face regularly.

It’s like a hole we are trying to fill-up with something else.

Some holes are insect traps made by ants. They are very dangerous to insects.

Addiction holes are also traps.

We can fall in them and keep trying to fill them in with coffee, tobacco, alcohol, dangerous or extreme sports, combat martial arts, too much work etc.

Problem is they do not fill-in, they keep getting bigger.

Some addiction holes simply cannot be filled-in. We just need to become aware of them and live with them all our lives. We also need to become aware that there is no practice that will fill them in. We can give them as much as we want of anything, they will not disappear.

The only real solution is to sit and meditate with them and stop feeding them.

The good news is once we become aware of them and stop feeding them, they have a gift for us.

I thought about the movie Dune and some of its interpretations. The gigantic worms in Dune make very dangerous holes too. The worms make holes but also larva which makes the “Spice”.

Why does Zendaya have these stunning blue eyes?

“In the Dune movie , Zendaya's bright blue eyes signify Chani's excessive use of Spice. Importantly, however, Spice is the most important commodity on Arrakis, and so blue eyes are symbolic of wealth and special powers. For example, the drug allows users to extend their lives, and some can also see both the past and the future, along with events that are transpiring elsewhere in the present. A Spice relapse will cause death, and so users embrace the drug and everything good that can transpire from taking it, like superhuman clairvoyance.”

No need for “Spice”, it’s already inside our bodies

Behind the dangerous hole and any addiction, there is a gift for us. This gift is inside and the “Spice” can also be inside of each of us.

Instead of falling into the hole and the addiction, living with it and finding the secret inside without feeding it with anything seems the way to go.

The medicine is inside our bodies already, this is why I am learning to walk on the red-road of the Lakotas through vision quest and Sundance.

Just fasting in nature is enough to find the “Spice” that our bodies generate by itself without needing anything external or feeding addictions.
