The real cure is to get beyond yourself, not beyond your needs, drives, weaknesses, passions. Get beyond yourself, which includes your needs and your weaknesses, and your passions and your fears.
Ever wondered why, despite having everything we need, we still feel empty? Rabbi Manis Friedman believes it’s because of an addiction we’re all born with—the addiction to self. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution, host Omar Pinto chats with Rabbi Friedman about how this deep-rooted issue affects our happiness and relationships. According to Rabbi Friedman, we often look outside ourselves to fill a void, whether through people, possessions, or addictions.
But even if we overcome these external dependencies, the addiction to self can still hold us back from true fulfillment. Rabbi Friedman suggests that real maturity and peace come from moving beyond our own needs and focusing on serving others. He explains that by acknowledging our weaknesses and striving to improve, we can better connect with those around us. This episode also dives into the essence of intimacy and relationships.
Rabbi Friedman shares his views on how genuine intimacy is about surrendering to oneness, rather than just fulfilling personal desires. The conversation doesn’t stop there. Rabbi Friedman also touches on spirituality and the constant search for something external to make us feel whole. He argues that the real solution lies in serving others and finding purpose beyond ourselves. This episode offers a fresh perspective on addiction, relationships, and finding true meaning in life.
