Addiction can happen with anything. It is a form of fetishism where you need that thing whatever THAT happens to be. Many are addicted to sex with hairless pussies because that is the first kind that they had and now they are hooked.
Some are addicted to certain sports clothing brands. Women can get addicted to purses or shoes. It is not all about pharma.
That is what Russians call Pirozhki s Myasom
Or Pastries with Meat.
In Russia, bread is still commonly eaten plain, i.e. take a loaf of bread, cut a thick slice, cut that in half, and eat it plain. But then, Russian bread tastes much better than American or Canadian bread.
And LaFarge had a cement plant in Syria in ISIS territory and made a deal with ISIS to allow them to continue to operate it and to protect LaFarge employees from military actions by ISIS.
Some of the psychology involved with this, not the trauma-based stuff but the compartmentalization of the ego into personas, can be used by anyone to improve their ability to learn, or to function at a higher level of excellence than is normally possible. The writings of Norman Vincent Peale are one way to work towards this kind of thing but, there are other paths. For instance Karma Yoga from Vedanta, J.C. Lilly's book on Programming and Metaprogramming the Human Biocomputer. This stuff has all been abused by satanists, and by the CIA's MKUltra projects, but the underlying psychology is real and can be used without any need to incorporate torture or kidnap into the training.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Syndrome) is currently considered a mental illness, but that is because it is poorly understood. Currently there are many who are working to help victims of SRA to heal themselves and become functional in society again, and these people are gaining a deeper understanding of DID and the human psyche than the conventional psychological professions. You can develop near-photographic memory, the ability to focus on a task like an autistic person, and the ability to run multiple trains of consciousness simultaneously. For instance one persona can be an expert driver and handle the car while to plan out and rehearse a presentation to do at work. No need for driverless cars when you have the abilities within you.
And yes, I know this from personal experience. If the multiple personas all work as a team and accept one persona as the team leader and that persona is a benevolent and understanding father to the rest of the personas, then it works.
