In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being, Keith Welsh explores addiction as a reflection of the human condition — not just substance use, but the everyday grasping, clinging, and avoidance that create suffering. Drawing on spiritual insight, Buddhist psychology, and personal experience, Keith invites listeners to see addiction through a wider lens: as a symptom of disconnection from the true Self, and as a doorway back to awareness.

Join us every Sunday night at 8 PM EST for a free online meditation session open to everyone, focused on presence, awareness, and healing.
