INTRODUCTION What is an Advaitaholic? ‘Advaitaholic’ is a term that I coined in reference to the phenomenon of spiritual addiction; an addiction that plagues so many seekers who claim to be in search of a higher truth, transcendence, awakening, enlightenment, liberation or whatever other form that holy grail may take.

What this means is that there are some seriously rich one-eyed motherfuckers walking this earth today. Enlightenment never looked so lucrative. Meanwhile, old Buddha died a poor sod.

The feed comes in so many flavors, shapes and colors that some people spend a lifetime going out to pasture and gorging on spiritual gummy bears: water and sugar, to stunt your growth, encourage an infantile dependency in mind, body and heart. I say, ‘Fuck those masters!’
