We're artists, leaning into the world & willing our lives. And rapture, an essential feeling, leads us outward to be more truly ‘there’. Heidegger thus interprets Nietzsche’s “will to power:” A strong, full-bodied interest & movement towards the world, before us as a possibility but not always chosen. Poignantly, Heidegger (1961) names a “fallen” state: “Of someone who is intoxicated...he [sic] 'has' something like rapture. But his is not enraptured. The rapture of intoxication [does not raise one] beyond himself. What we are here calling rapture is merely...being 'soused,' something depriv[ing] us of every possible state of being."
Addiction covers a range of habits: Drugs, sex, Internet, food--all of possible concern. Affecting the brain’s reward center, these can all take control of our will. C.G. Jung proposed to Bill W. that alcoholics seek higher meaning: ‘spiritus’ through spirits. I submit that all addictions are 'fallen,' though by way of which higher purpose is yet sought.
I’ve been licensed 33-years and trained in addiction. I’m responsive, kind and honest. I’m also dedicated to working with individuals as well as couples & families, since the system, if not the issue, likely contributes. To negotiate your "falling" and to arise once more the artist before your life’s canvas, let’s talk…securely, online.
