See through addictions

Hello everybody. I would like to share something with you, that will help you quit. You can gain some spiritual view with this, so the benefit doubles. You will quit your addiction and will see life in an other way.

When I say quit, it is wrong: you might feel that you are in something that grabs you and holds you back regarding addiction. But addiction is not something like that. Addiction is a way of thinking and a way of looking at things. For example you have problems with masturbation. You think it is bad, makes you introvert , lessens your power, and you are single because of this habit, so you would like to stop it.On the other side you feel sexuality is a body need and it generates itself so you must relieve yourself when the pressure is unbearable. So those two sides are fighting in you. Or should I say, not in you but in your Mind. And here comes the twist. The secret is you are not your Mind. You have to understand the nature of life. In life everything is empty.
Wherever you are looking there is emptiness. You are emptiness too. There is nothing outside or inside of you that is not empty. The emptiness is over when the Mind comes into play. It’s like a projector in the cinema that projects colorful content on the white dull screen. It gives meaning to everything, it differs things, and when you look at something let’s just say it is masturbation, you can see your Mind’s projections. The only way to quit this or any other habit is to look behind the Mind because it is that plays. It is the addict not you. And its addiction is nothing else than the importance of masturbation that it believes in. It thinks it is natural, it is a must, pressure comes when prohibited and so on. But these are not true. Drinking water is a need but not porn or masturbation. Don’t let your Mind to fool you with its colorful projections. See the emptiness in porn and addictions. Thoughts and feelings in connection with addictions are empty too. Its power come from the projected content that you believe in. Change your Mind. Don’t believe the screen. In the background of the colorful pictures there is nothing but White. Empty. Handle porn and masturbation this way. Look at it like you look at a single stone.
Stone doesn’t have meaning. You pick it up and throw it into the water and forget it. But if this little stone is from somebody you love, it is harder to throw. Because now it has a meaning has a content. But the content exists only in your Mind. The stone is just a stone. It cannot have anything for you. It is empty for you. The problem is not porn or masturbation. The problem is the content that exists in your Mind. Masturbation and porn are empty like a stone have nothing for you cannot grab you cannot make you addict. You must throw the content then the porn will automatically follows. I hope this helps you. Have a blessed life.
