How Does Addiction/stimulus Affect Consciousness?

[Chrissy j]

How do things like bad food, masterbation, drugs, alcohol, and TV or video games affect your consciousness? How about your meditation, self inquiry, concentration practice, etc? Does it actually help with consciousness work to unhook from these besides the fact that they can be distracting?

[Leo Gura]

@Chrissy j Yes. If you've never experienced consciousness expansion, it would be down right impossible to believe or understand, but omg, yes. You're whole life would be changed. You would be changed in all the most awesome ways.
