Real addiction is intent on bringing death to its victims. This Evil is hidden, but it's there, lurking deep within. It's our job to bring it to the light and overcome it with spiritual practice.
Ever thought about the darker side of addiction? In this gripping episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest with decades of recovery under his belt, tackles the chilling concept of Evil lurking within addiction. Drawing on the insights of Jungian therapist David Schoen, Father Bill paints a vivid picture of how addiction can feel like a malevolent force, intent on destroying lives.
Schoen's perspective, which echoes Carl Jung's stark warnings to AA co-founder Bill Wilson, adds a haunting layer to our understanding of addiction as not just a personal struggle but a battle against a sinister force. Father Bill doesn't shy away from the tough questions: Is addiction a form of evil? How can spirituality shine a light on this darkness? He explores these themes with empathy and a touch of his signature wit, making complex ideas accessible and relatable.
This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone who wants to understand the profound depths of addiction and the transformative power of spiritual practice. Tune in and find out how facing the darkness head-on can lead to true freedom.
