Cocaine Addiction & Recovery Support Group
Cocaine addiction is the excessive intake of cocaine, and can result in physiological damage, lethargy, depression, or a potentially fatal overdose. Though the immediate craving to do more cocaine is strong and very common, this feeling usually subsides in most users within an hour. This craving can, as it has in many users, develop rather quickly into an intense...

I am afraid
My inquiry now is how to be free from the fear of the known, which is the fear of losing my family, my reputation, my character, my bank account, my appetites, and so on. You may say that fear arises from conscience; but your conscience is formed by your conditioning, so conscience is still the result of the known. What do I know? Knowledge is having ideas, having opinions about things, having a sense of continuity as in relation to the known, and no more....
There is fear of pain. Physical pain is a nervous response, but psychological pain arises when I hold on to things that give me satisfaction, for then I am afraid of anyone or anything that may take them away from me. The psychological accumulations prevent psychological pain as long as they are undisturbed; that is, I am a bundle of accumunlation, experiences, which prevent any serious form of disturbance - and I do not want to be disturbed, Therefore, I am afraid of anyone who disturbs them. Thus my fear is of the known, I am afraid of the accumulations, physical or psychological, that I have gathered as a means of warding off pain or preventing sorrow...Knowledge also helps to prevent pain. As medical knowledge helps to prevent physical pain, so beliefs help to prevent pwychological pain, and that is why I am afraid of losing my beliefs, though I have no perfect knowledge or concrete proof of the reality of such beliefs.
Amen to that = I agree
I had let go of much of my pain body (psychological pain,old un healthy stories). It is freeing to the spirit! Complete consciousness!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Better that I do the disturbing before someone else or some event does it for me. And start disposing of my obsolete accumulations that clutter up my consciousness and obscure perception. Time for me to start taking the emotional 'castor oil' that will smooth the way for my work at evolution. A-h-h-h-h... This is 'The Work', a true Labor of Love.
Thanks SO MUCH for engaging me in your merry frolic and zesty dance. You are a wonderous sight to behold, a veritable whirling dervish of determination. I'm waving bye-bye to your cast off 'pain body' as it dissolves off into space. I see you standing in the 'lighted clearing' now. Hi there! Good to see you this way. Don't I recognize You from somewhere, long, long ago or far into the future? Oh, yes I do!
With compassion standing in the light.
