Are we there yet? One of the first episodes of My Sober Addiction was titled “From That to This at 1,000mph” which could imply that sobriety is itself a destination. It certainly could mean that but there is no destination. Every experience is another stop on a trip to…well, we don’t know, do we? We have come to the conclusion that it is never about the destination but the journey, and while that sounds like a corny slogan or a bumper sticker, it’s so very true. I say we are spiritual nomads exploring creation but as fast as we can explore we keep creating. We come from the Source, most people refer to this as God, the Creator, the Universe, the Oversoul, etc. Drug addiction was certainly an experience, and it led us down paths we wouldn’t have otherwise went down. Most addicts in recovery very soon after getting sober ask the question, “Ok, so now what?” and also go on a sort of spiritual quest for answers. Answers to questions that could have arose from (like in my case) some profound experience while essentially flatlined during an overdose. The more I explore spirituality the more I realize this existence is not what we have been taught. Not even close. I realize I have some rather extreme views on this subject and that I am teetering dangerously close to being a full fledged Simulation Theory guy. I’m ok with that, and I’m not sorry for it. Ultimately, I’m curious, I want to know the secrets of existence, consciousness, and why we are here. I want to create an amazing life and am relentlessly searching for ways to make that happen. Also, I want to share what I’ve learned with whoever wants to hear it and ideally I’d love for others to join me and share what they’ve learned.
Addiction taught us that life is very short, and it is beautiful. What I said earlier about us being “spiritual nomads” was pretty good…hey, even ol’ Matty can occasionally come up with a good one. Anyway, I’m inviting you to go on a journey with me. Let’s go explore Creation, and create more and more of it. Our time here is short and I believe that whatever we are moving on to after this will be determined by how well we have mastered this. I believe we are here to learn how to create like the Creator does. Every religious philosophy tells us that we can do this, “All these things that I do you can also do, and more”…something like that…as the saying goes, “Iron sharpens iron,” we can make each other better, master this reality and move on to whatever comes next, I bet its pretty awesome.
