Lots of people look for happiness through sensations, whether it's through sex, the taste of food, the sound of music, the sensations of movies and plays, creating a certain environment in their home, and so on. Looking for happiness through sensations keeps you constantly searching for the next "fix" and for more varied sensations. Sensations become addictions, and nothing is ever enough.

Whenever you're unhappy, your emotions are telling you that the people or things around you are not conforming to your vision of the world, or the way you think things should be.

As the watcher of the screen, you are perfect. The movie that is playing on the screen might be horrendous, but you are not the movie. You are what is watching the movie.

Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.

I am discovering how my consciousness dominating addictions create my illusory version of the changing world of people and situations around me.

Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world.
