And, it expresses the very nature of the addiction itself. What do you do when there is no fix? Try something else? Instead of cigarettes, you try cigars, pot, or just eat more? Or do you just go deeper inside your own being? That's hard to do without another person who is willing to go along with you on that long trip. Would you recognize such a person if they came along?

I hypothecated that when two of us join forces at any level, ouir relationship expresses the spirit of what it is that we are about.

It's bigger than me. It's bigger than you. It is a cultural thing. If we can remove ourselves and get high enough outside our own beings so that we're looking down and culture itself, we can see there is a flow. And, we can commit ourselves to work toward building an understanding of what it required of us if we are to do the work.
