Lynton:
I understand that there a re a lot of factors in addiction.  When I wanted
to give up smoking cigarettes (a long time ago now) I found that my body
began to detox quite rapidly, and the feeling (especially of stuff being
moved out of my lungs - a sort of tickling sensation) was enough to set me
lighting up again.  It was a most difficult thing to come to terms with.
I have found in switching to RF that similar things can happen - sometimes
worse!  I happen to have had much more emotion tied to smells and tastes and
stomach-fullness than I ever had for smoking.

I think along the same lines, and that God_is_all,  All_is_god.  Living
beings are part of God's purpose in creating the universe in the first
place, and illustrate god' s striving for ????
What I still feel in awe of when I think of it, is the infinite enormorty of
it, and the infinite detail, and that what I think and do can make a difference.
