Addictions, habits and associations

Addicts and victims of various habits must be treated in a location different from their usual environment and among different people, to separate them as much as possible from those objects which feed the "associates" and their core or source.

Becoming "de-hypnotized" is the path of self-discovery. Every great Teacher is a "de-hypnotizer," one who strips people of their glamors, illusions, vanity, and ego, and makes them sense the Self. In most cases, the presence of the Teacher dissolves the hypnotic core and its associates.

One must remember that our glamors, illusions, vanities, and egos are mostly layers of "associates." An associate is a link to the core of the habit. Sometimes great calamities, personal failures, pain, suffering, and loss destroy the core and its associates.
