Sobriety is sanity from any compulsion.**

Emotional sobriety is sane living.Reflection, as an awakened contemplative meditation, is the chance to see what we imagine, as imagined - distinct from all there is to actually see. To imagine we imagine is to align and assign what we think we see to what we think rather than assume what we think is all there is to see. This includes thinking about our self. To see this clearly has thinking about thoughts themselves replace what was previously wrongly assumed to be our self. There is no conflict, grief or misery in seeing things as they accurately. Thoughts thinking about themselves create more thoughts not conscious beings with life-forms that live and breathe and have brains to think.

Choice is will. We are free to choose whatever we want to think. Ill will is acting on sick choices. Thinking such choices create reality is to think whatever we think is true even when it is wrong. Sick choices thought of as reality is the choice to see and hear things that do not exist not only as though they are alive, but have a life of their own that can attack and condemn us. This fundamental mistaken belief creates inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish. Mental illness is the natural consequence of defending this line of irrational thinking; seeing and hearing things that don’t exist. Addiction is the attempt to reverse the natural order of nature. Thinking something false can be true and thus once accomplished turns us into the all-mighty creators of reality is a giant leap that can never land - since it has no basis in reality, or on earth - other than a thought that is wrong, thought to be right. .
