Addicted to Being Busy

 Addiction  (Being out of Balance):  Addiction is a condition that results when a person ingests a substance (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, nicotine, sugar, etc,) or engages in an activity (e.g., gambling, sex, shopping, workshop junkie, over exercising) that can be pleasurable but the continued use/act of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, such as work, relationships, health, or mental health. Users may not be aware that their behavior is out of control and causing problems for themselves and others. What we mask by being busy. Addiction is a numbing behavior. We use numbing behaviors to shut out feeling our feeling and which can make one feel vulnerable. And lest you think numbing doesn’t apply to you, because you’re not hooked on cocaine, pot, sugar, tobacco, or alcohol one of the most universal numbing strategies is keeping your self  crazy-busy.

Readings, Energy Work, and other Healing Arts typically attract people who are confused, and/or in pain.

Some people respect the Light Worker profession and others take the years of training and discipline for granted. The flag of entitlement is flying high in the millennium. Some come to Light Workers because they believe or feel they are "gifted" and want the secret key to their success

In the industry paradigm, one has to wonder what is the role of Spirit ?  Are we to be the ones telling Spirit to give us what we want ?

That is our level of development compared to our Higher Self and Spirit!  Children think sugar and toys make life better. Children dream and imagine on that level.  Just like good parents do not give into demanding childre
