Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

And it doesn’t even matter where or how you get started …
*Want to tackle the “greatest evil”? Then use this tactic to minimize cigarette smoking or
eating animals (the only two addictions that directly destroy not only the life of the
addict, but other lives as well).
*Want to personalize your efforts? Then use it to deal with the addiction mentioned in the
chapter that made you most defensive or most uncomfortable while reading this book.
*Want to deal with all of your addictions at once? Then apply this progression regularly
to the addiction of resignation, and watch the rest of your addictions begin to weaken &
crumble as well.
“I did not come here to be comforted,
I came here like the red bird … to Sing.”
~ Mary Oliver
In conclusion, no matter what tactics you use to deal with your addictions, remember that
fighting the ego forcefully never brings lasting results. Fortunately, there is an effective
alternative to dealing with your ego – a method that is always available, and that only
involves only three simple steps:
Step 01) ACKNOWLEDGE your
addiction(s) … Recognize that you, like all
other human beings, are simply soaked in
self-centered desires.
Remember as well where those urges come
from; your ego’s most primal fears of death
& danger.
