🎙️ In this episode of Musings on Mysteries and the Mythical Matrix, we confront the hidden layers of addiction—where neuroscience meets the numinous.
What if addiction isn’t just a brain loop... but a dimensional trap? Could the repetitive nature of cravings reflect a fracture in how we experience time—and reality itself?
🧠Topics covered: 🔹 Neurobiology of addiction 🔹 The CNS, dopamine, and rewired reward systems 🔹 Tolerance, withdrawal, and craving loops 🔹 Fourth-dimensional theories of repetitive behavior 🔹 Spiritual uses of substances throughout history 🔹 The fine line between transcendence and dependence 🔹 Addiction as a cry for meaning
🔄 Whether you're in recovery, know someone who is, or simply want to understand the mystery behind human longing, this episode explores addiction as both a biological hijack and a spiritual signal.
Are we numbing ourselves—or trying to wake up?Â
