Ancient Advice for Modern Addictions

The term' spiritual malady,' currently used in addiction circles, refers to an inability to regulate emotions, feelings of emptiness and unworthiness, unstable self-image, self-destructive behaviors, self-harm, anxiety, depression, anger, and isolation. The spiritual malady is precisely what the Buddha referred to as Dukkha or the human condition of suffering twenty-five centuries ago. The spiritual malady also refers to the same human condition that poets, priests, and philosophers have called attention to throughout recorded history. Ignorance or not seeing that we are caught in the human condition of suffering keeps us from liberating ourselves, so we stay stuck on the wheel of suffering. The good news is that there is hope even when we're feeling frustration, fear, and heartache. Act Like an Avatar will help guide you on your journey to enlightenment.
