Addiction doesn’t operate on need, but on drive.
And thus it is an illusion.
But one with long chains.
Like Jacob Marley’s ghost.
the unconfused union and conjunction of soul and body constitutes, when maintained in harmony, a single reality… When not harmonious, there is a civil war in which each side desires victory.”
— St. Niketas Stethatos
“With our intelligence (mind) we direct our search; with our desire (will) we long for that supernal goodness which is the object of our search; and with our incensive power (heart) we fight to attain our object. With these powers those who love God cleave to the divine principle of virtue and spiritual knowledge.”
–St. Maximus the Confessor
