Drug Use and Spiritual Emptiness

author unknown:

Drug use is rooted in the spiritual emptiness of daily life. If "spirit matters" in the way that you argue, and we make spirituality a reality in our lives, we won't need drugs.

But if we pretend in public life that we are really only material beings without any spiritual needs, then privately in our personal lives many of us will turn to drugs to fill the emptiness in our souls.

You can see this same distortion in our current mental health industry, which treats people's unhappiness as a product of chemical imbalances and doesn't recognize the imbalance in spirit and soul.
