*Uncertainty Wakes Up Zombies*
For it is the unexpected that creates real experience.
If you know it, if you expect it, it is just a trance state. And all addictions are about trying to re-live, ever and again, a particular experience or set of experiences, which happened at the beginning of that addiction. We all try to re-create pleasurable experiences; we call it addiction when it is most obvious that it is counterproductive.
Those early experiences in the addiction may have originally been a step out of the boring life of everyperson — they almost invariably were — but in trying to have them again, one has created simply a different type of stagnation of life. It is like getting stuck in a rut, now, on the *other* side of the road from which one has pulled away.
*Our Prodigal Return*
But somehow or other, one way or another, sooner or later, we succeed. We make our way down the road. We end up hOMe. Like prodigal children we return to the embrace of the Universal Soul.
