Abstract:
Spiritual research indicates that 96% of the causes of addictions are due to ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) or departed ancestors. The seeds of addictions are introduced in the womb itself by ghosts. Due to the spiritual nature of the cause of addictions, only spiritual remedies can successfully alleviate addiction. A three-step spiritual treatment program has been suggested that will ensure minimal withdrawal symptoms.

1. What is the definition of addiction that SSRF subscribes to?
In this article, The Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) defines addiction as it is in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - IV (DSM-IV). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association, is the handbook used most often in diagnosing mental disorders in the United States.
We have obtained a copy of the definition from the Hawaii Department of Health.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - IV (DSM-IV) describes addiction as a maladaptive pattern of substance use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:
-
Substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended.
-
Persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use.
-
A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance (e.g. visiting multiple doctors or driving long distances), use of the substance (e.g. chain smoking), or to recover from its effects.
-
Important social, occupational or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance abuse.
-
Continued substance abuse despite knowledge of having persistent or recurrent psychological or physical problems that are caused or exacerbated by abuse of the substance.
-
Tolerance is defined by either:
-
The need for markedly increased amounts of the substance in order to achieve intoxication or desired effect; or
-
A markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount.
-
-
Withdrawal is manifested by either:
-
The characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance;
-
Taking the same (or a closely related) substance to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
-
2. Addictions - a worldwide predicament
Addictions are a worldwide phenomenon adversely affecting the lives of millions across all geographical boundaries and cultures. At a personal level, people’s lives are destroyed by their addictions and their loved ones also suffer the trauma from the negative ripple effect. At the level of society, despite efforts from governments and care institutions, addictions on the whole drain a nation, reducing its effectiveness and burdening it with extra costs. Here are some of the alarming statistics that show the impact that addictions have:
-
According to Forbes.com the 5 most expensive addictions to the US with an estimated annual cost in terms of treatment expense and loss of productivity are alcohol ($166 billion), smoking ($157 billion), drugs $110 billion, over-eating ($107 billion) and gambling ($40 billion).
-
In 2005, an estimated 22.2 million persons in the US aged 12 or older were classified with substance dependence or abuse. (Ref: Office of applied studies, US Department of health)
-
Some 18% of adults in England binge drink double the daily recommended level in one or more sessions a week. The City of Westminster in London was the worst place for alcohol-related violence in 2005-6, with 15 violent offences per 1,000 residents due to alcohol. Ref: The BBC, 2006)
-
An estimated 31,134 Australians (23,431 or 75% males; 7,703 or 25% females) died from risky and high-risk alcohol used in a period of ten years between 1992 and 2001. The leading causes of death were alcohol and liver diseases followed by road crash injury, cancer and suicide. (Ref: Australian Department of Health, 2004)
-
Forbes.com stated that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimates that a combined $276 billion was spent or lost in 2005 on health care, lost productivity, premature death, auto accidents and crime relating to drug and alcohol abuse. It found that approximately three-quarters of that money came from public sources. (Ref: Forbes.com)
These are just some of the grim statistics that are reflected across the nations of the world that show the deadly impact of substance abuse and addictions at a personal, family and society level. Given the above statistics, it is no wonder why collectively the governments of the world spend billions of dollars to curb the threat that addictions pose.
Success rates for overcoming addiction have historically been low:
-
In a report by samhsa.gov, from a sample total of 937,499 records of clients discharged in 2003 for substance abuse treatment across 26 states in the US, only 41% completed the treatment. (Ref: Office of applied studies, US Department of health)
-
Relapse following treatment for drug and alcohol addiction is common, predictable and preventable, according to "Relapse & Recovery: Behavioural Strategies for Change," a 2003 research report by the Caron Foundation, one of the US’ oldest and largest addiction treatment centres. Relapse rates for addictive diseases range from 50 percent for resumption of heavy use to 90 percent for a brief lapse.
-
An article published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (Potter Greg, Jul 2004) indicated better results for hypnosis as a treatment approach for addictions.
3. Modern Science view
3.1 Causes of addictive behaviours according to modern science
What is the modern science view of the causes of addictive behaviours?
There is no consensus as to the aetiology (cause), prevention and treatment of addictive disorders. A United States government publication, ‘Theories on Drug Abuse: Selected Contemporary Perspectives,’ came up with no less than forty-three theories for chemical addiction and at least fifteen methods of treatment!
As an example of this confusion,
-
Many people consider addictive behaviours such as gambling and alcoholism as ‘diseases,’
-
But others consider them to be behaviours learned in response to the complex interplay between heredity and environmental factors.
-
Still others argue in favour of a genetic cause. Some researchers point out that, unlike most common diseases such as tuberculosis, which has a definite cause (a microbe) and a definite treatment model to which everyone agrees, there is no conclusive cause or definite treatment method to which everyone agrees for most of the addictive behaviours.
This lack of agreement among experts causes problems with prevention and treatment approaches for many addictive behaviours. (Ref: Department of Applied Health Science, Indiana University, 2003)
So on one hand, we have billion dollar budgets to reduce substance abuse and on the other hand, we have no consensus as to the cause of addictions. The SSRF suggests that if the governments of the world were to focus on the spiritual causes and spiritual treatment of addictions in their research, they would have a greater amount of success in curbing addictions.
4. Spiritual research into addiction
4.1 What does spiritual research into addiction mean?
Spiritual research into addiction means research into the spiritual causes and treatment of addictions by means of an advanced and activated sixth sense (ESP).
4.2 Who can diagnose through spiritual research?
Diagnosis of the specific spiritual cause of addictions is possible only by a spiritually evolved person who can perceive the subtle dimension. By spiritually evolved we mean, a Saint i.e. one who has crossed the spiritual level of 70%. A person with an active sixth sense (ESP) can perceive the root cause, but before attaining a minimum of 60% spiritual level, has to verify the diagnosis from a spiritually evolved person (Saint) above 70% level.
Refer to the following articles for details:
4.3 Type of addictions covered in spiritual research
The scope of spiritual research on addictions conducted by the SSRF encompasses all types of addictions.
4.4 Spiritual research into the causes of addictions
The extent of the ‘known world’ as compared to the ‘subtle spiritual dimension’ is in the ratio of 1: infinity. Through spiritual research methodologies, we can look into the spiritual dimension and ascertain the extent to which it affects our lives. However it is pertinent to add that the subtleties and shades of the various spiritual factors and their interplay can be very complex and intricate. It is for this reason one can at best document upto 80% of the contributing spiritual factors. However even with this limitation, just by taking the spiritual dimension into account, documented spiritual research is far more holistic than conventional research in getting to the bottom of why things happen.
Spiritual research to ascertain the root causes of addictions provided the following results:
4.4.1 Spiritual causes of addiction
From the diagram above, you can see that spiritual causes account for 96% of the causes of addiction. The spiritual root causes are divided into possession by either ghosts (30%) or subtle bodies of departed ancestors (70%). Ghosts or subtle bodies of departed ancestors possess people for two main reasons:
- To satisfy their own craving for the addictive substance.
- To trouble the person by making him an addict
The reason behind 70% of the addictions being due to ancestors is the give-and-take account and the karmic bond between them and their descendants. The give-and-take account that departed ancestors have with their descendants is a subtle (intangible) doorway that they exploit to possess their descendants and satisfy their cravings through them. This could explain why some studies have shown strong hereditary factors influencing addictions.
Refer to the article on, “Why would my departed loved ones and my other ancestors want to give me pain?”
Ghosts on the other hand possess any one with a mental weakness or vulnerability. The person does not necessarily have to be one of their descendants. People with multiple addictions can either be possessed by multiple ghosts or just one ghost with multiple addictions.
4.4.2 Physical and psychological causes of addiction
In some few cases, the addiction may begin due to physical reasons such as a person’s intense liking for a certain substance or psychological reasons such as tension, anxiety, depression, etc. However these account for only 4% of all the causes of addiction. It is important to add that in a very short time, ghosts rush in to take advantage of the opportunity of this weakness or vulnerability in a human to affect or possess him. Thus these too become spiritual causes. The mental vulnerability or weakness of a person becomes the entry point for possession. Thus the addiction that may have started with a physical or psychological reason soon escalates into a spiritual one.
In short, only 4% of addictions are initiated due to non-spiritual causes in the person itself and hence only 4% at the most can be overcome by physical and psychological treatment measures.
Refer to “How do ghosts possess a person?”
Addictive substances as a cause of addictions
A fact that may surprise our readers is what we found through spiritual research regarding addictive substances being a cause of addictions:
-
Nicotine as an addictive chemical, accounts for just 0.75% of the reason a person is addicted to cigarette smoking.
-
Harder addictions like heroin or cocaine account for maximum 3% of the causes for an addiction.
The high percentage of spiritual reasons as a root cause is one of the reasons for the low success rates of treatment at a physical and psychological level. Physical treatment means rehab with quitting the substance and then treating the withdrawal with chemical medication. Chemicals like methadone are used as safer substitutes for the original abused substance. Psychological treatment includes counselling, formal and/or informal psychotherapy etc. with or without physical treatment.
4.4.3 Addictions from the perspective of destiny or free will
According to the spiritual Path of Action (Karmayoga), all our actions are either destined (not in our control) or due to free will (within our control). As a rule of thumb, in the current era 65% of our actions are destined and 35% are due to free will. However in the case of addictions, the proportion of the destined element is far greater. Major life events like birth, marriage, major accidents and death are completely destined, i.e. the role of destiny is 100%.
The actual proportion of the destined element in a particular addicted person can only be ascertained by people beyond the 70% spiritual level (i.e. Saints) or by those with very highly advanced sixth sense.
Refer to the article “Spiritual root causes of difficulties in life”.
4.5 Why do some people become addicts and others do not?
What makes a certain person more prone to become an addict? There can be many contributing factors to this:
-
Destiny: The negative destiny of the person.
-
Demerits: Likelihood of more demerits versus merits. By demerits we mean the accumulation of various demerits from previous births as well as the present to be played out in this birth.
-
Type of ancestors: Having many ancestors with addictions. High intensity of give-and-take account with the addict ancestor/s.
-
Time: According to Time, i.e. a particular patch or period in a person’s life, when they are spiritually more vulnerable. People become vulnerable spiritually when there is a lack of spiritual practice, higher amount of wilful demerits or a high amount of ego.
-
Spiritual development: People of a lower spiritual level are more prone to attack. It is extremely rare to find a person doing regular quality spiritual practice according to the six basic principles of spiritual practice to be an addict.
-
Affinity: The person’s affinity for the substance or thing makes them more vulnerable for possession.
-
Spiritual level of the parents: The higher the spiritual level of the parents, the less the impact on the embryo at the time of conception (see section 5).
4.6 Why are economically developed societies even more prone to attacks by ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.)?
-
Due to a relatively high environment of overindulgence in materialistic pleasures, ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) are able to merge with the affected person in a very short time and fulfil their cravings.
-
Due to such an environment, as there is intense awareness of thoughts of addictions, some women develop or continue addictions like cigarette smoking, alcoholism during pregnancy. Thus the ghost (demon, devil, negative energies, etc.) present in the embryonic state, along with fulfilling its craving during the pregnancy itself, also keeps total control on the mother as well as on the embryo and enjoys the fulfilment of its craving throughout their lives. But most women overcome it with their accentuated will power during pregnancy.
This willpower in pregnant women is reflected in a report by samhsa.gov. Looking at combined 2004-2005 data in the US, rates of past month cigarette smoking were lower for pregnant women than non-pregnant women among those aged 26 to 44 (10.4 vs. 28.8 percent) and among those aged 18 to 25 (26.4 vs. 35.8 percent) (Figure 4.5). However, among those aged 15 to 17, the rate of cigarette smoking for pregnant women was higher than for non-pregnant women (22.3 vs. 18.5 percent), although the difference was not significant. (Ref: Samsha.gov 2005)
As a result:
-
We come across many small children in affluent societies displaying addictive behaviour such as smoking cigarettes or trapped in sexual desire at a very young age. This too is primarily caused by ghosts. Robbed of a normal adolescence, these types of individuals are at risk of becoming mentally imbalanced or psychiatric patients later on in life. Ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) manifest naturally through the gross body of such patients and destroy the harmony in many homes.
A report by samsha.gov shows high usage patterns of cigarette smoking in the US starting from as young as 12 years old.
5. Subtle mechanism of being affected or possessed by ghosts or subtle bodies of the departed ancestors as a root cause of addiction
Spiritual research indicates that almost all acts of possession by a ghost, to prime a person for addiction begin in the womb itself. It is less likely for a ghost to begin priming an individual for addiction in their adult phase. The reason for this is, when in an embryo form, a person is at his most vulnerable state. The more the number of impressions of personality defects from previous births that the conceived embodied soul has, the easier it is for the ghosts/subtle bodies of ancestors to attack.
The following is a detailed account of the subtle mechanism of possession in the womb.
5.1 Steps in development of addiction caused by subtle bodies of ancestors
Step 1: In the majority of cases, the subtle body of the ancestor / ghost attacks the person in the mother’s womb at the embryonic stage. Even prior to conception, at the time of intercourse itself, the subtle body of ancestor enters the body of the mother through her vagina and it impregnates the entire uterus with black energy.
The spermatozoon uniting with the ovum is also covered with black energy. This impact is minimised with increase in spiritual level, regular spiritual practice and prayer before and if possible even during intercourse. The prayer can be on the following lines:
-
O God, if today's contact is going to culminate in conception, please protect the conception from any type of ghost attack. Let the conception be sattvik.
-
Even if the opportunity of praying before and during conception is missed and pregnancy has already happened, the parents can still chant and pray as follows.
-
O God, grace the baby with impression of chanting when in the womb itself.
-
The mother can hold her pursed fingers in a nyaas pointing on her navel or spread her palm on her belly and chant with intermittent prayer as described above. This can be continued throughout the pregnancy.
-
O God, grace the baby with a protective sheath of your divine energy.
-
O God, let the baby breathe in divine consciousness when it is breathing subtly inside me.
Step 2: Then the subtle body of the ancestor / ghost goes on to spread a network of its strands of black energy in the entire uterus. In this way, the embryo is trapped even before it has grown.
Step 3: During the growth of the embryo, the subtle body of ancestor / ghost interferes at the time of the development of the subtle cells of the mental sheath and sows the seeds of intense thoughts of addiction. Thus the embryo grows with thoughts of addictions.
Refer to ‘What are we comprised of’
Step 4: Then the subtle body of the ancestor / ghost attacks the brain cells of the embryo and makes them conducive to imbibe thoughts of addiction.
Step 5: With further growth of the embryo, the subtle body of the ancestor / ghost merges with the embryo’s body and takes complete possession. As a result as mentioned earlier in the article some children develop addictions in their teenage itself.
Just because a departed ancestor has targeted a certain embryo does not mean that he has to wait for 15-20 years as the person comes of age before he can satisfy his cravings. In the meantime, he can possess other descendants thus satisfying his desires for any substance or thing. What the ancestor does by possessing the embryo and creating a black energy centre for addiction is akin to a rich man acquiring apartments, penthouses or villas in various cities across the globe. He may not even visit a certain apartment for years at a stretch. However having it is a facility that gives him easy and ready entry when he needs to use it.
The reason why an addiction in some people starts earlier as opposed to others is that the ghost waits for an opportune time to actively initiate the addiction. This will depend on a number of factors that increase the vulnerability of the person. These factors include:
-
Reduction in merits
-
A patch of bad time as per destiny
-
Decrease in will power due to psychological problems such as difficult life situations, tension, depression etc.
5.2 Development of addiction during pregnancy or later due to possession by ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.)
Sometimes, people without strong will power are targeted by common ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) during their adulthood. After entering their bodies, ghosts fuel their desire for certain things thus making them addicts. However the majority of addicts (i.e. 70% of them) are affected by the thoughts of addictions in their embryonic state itself.
Over a period of a lifetime, a person who has been possessed and addicted to a substance or a thing may begin to like it or at least find comfort in it. When the person dies he may find himself missing the pleasure of the addiction.
After death, this person himself becomes a ghost and enters the body of the next woman from that generation for the fulfilment of his addiction. This intent to harm another person turns him into a ghost and he gets trapped in a vicious cycle of his addiction for many oh his subsequent descendants' lifetimes. This cycle thus continues generation after generation.
Refer to the article on, “What are ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) and how does a person become one?”
6. Suggested principles in the treatment of addiction obtained through spiritual research
6.1 Principle underlying spiritual treatment
We have explained the meaning of sattva and tama in detail in the article on ‘What are the subtle basic components?’
The surest way to increase the sattva component within ourselves is to increase our spiritual practice that conforms to the six basic principles of spiritual practice. It also needs to be done regularly and increased from time to time at a quantitative and qualitative level. With this there is an increase in spiritual level and also a rise in the subtle basic sattva component within the person. Spiritual practice that does not conform to the six basic principles of spiritual practice will have limited or no positive impact on the sattvikta of a person or on his spiritual development. Spiritual practice is the more long-term and sustainable cure for any type of attack by ghosts.
Spiritual remedies provide short-term relief and enable our spiritual practice to be used mainly for spiritual growth that has a holistic effect on our life instead of being spent just on curing addiction.
The best results come when along with spiritual practice we try to increase the sattvikta across all aspects of our life and across all our various layers (e.g. physical, mental, intellectual etc.). The following diagram is a representation of what we are comprised of and an example of what we can do to purify each layer.
More information on how to infuse sattvikta in your life please read “The three subtle basic components and our lifestyle”.
6.1.1 Some generic spiritual treatment for addictions
No two cases of addiction are similar at a spiritual level and it will be difficult to apply a generic remedy to fit all cases where ghosts or ancestors are the root cause of the addiction.
Even so, we have provided a 3 step treatment regime to help people overcome any addiction that they may have.
Note: The following 3 step treatment program is based on using spiritual practice as a tool to overcome addictions. The resulting effects are not only more beneficial but long lasting too.
 |
 |
 |
 |
Note:
-
It is not mandatory to quit substance intake at the beginning of the treatment programme.
-
The repetition of the protective chants can be done at any time and place.
-
The duration of the chants can be just a few minutes on day 1. This can be gradually but consistently increased according to one’s capacity over the next few days so as to reach the minimum target as specified in the 3 step treatment. Remember the more we chant the stronger the protection, the lesser the withdrawal symptoms and the earlier we are going to be freed from the clutches of the destroying addiction.
-
Once you are comfortably settled in practicing the 3 steps on a daily basis, you can actively begin to reduce the intake of the addictive substance or thing in a phased manner.
-
It can be done along with any treatment that has been prescribed by your doctor or psychiatrist. You do not have to stop the medical treatment.
-
One important plus factor with spiritual healing treatment of addiction is the very low incidence of withdrawal symptoms. The reason for this is that 50% of withdrawal symptoms are caused by the ghost and 50% is due to the body’s reaction to having less of the addictive substance. With spiritual practice the addict overcomes the 50% part due to the ghost. The remaining 50% part becomes quite bearable, i.e. the person is able to physically tolerate it. The increase in sattvikta in the person due to the spiritual practice increases his tolerance.
-
Complement spiritual efforts with prayers. The prayers can be on the following line:
-
-
O God, grace me with the intellectual conviction to begin spiritual practice.
-
O God, grace me with strength to begin and persevere with my spiritual practice.
-
O God, grace me with constant remembrance of chanting and prayers.
-
O God, grace me with the strength to stay away from …..
-
O God, destroy the addictive desires in the subtle body of distressing ancestor or ghost.
-
O God, destroy the black energy centres in my body created by the ghost/ancestor to bring about addictive behaviour in me.
-
O God, create a protective sheath of your divine energy around me and protect me from the black energy attack by the ghost/ancestor.
-
-
Along with this maintaining a sattvik lifestyle helps.
-
It is recommended that this spiritual treatment be continued lifelong.
6.1.2 Mechanism of how it works
By beginning spiritual practice of the 3 step treatment we increase the sattva component within us. This in turn increases our spiritual energy and defence systems. The ghost / departed ancestor who is raja-tama predominant cannot tolerate it and hence is forced to leave. When this happens the person is able to give up the addictive habit immediately.
6.2 Suggested preventive treatment
The 3 step spiritual treatment works both as a treatment to cure addictions and as a preventive mechanism to ensure that addictions do not take root in future. In short, it takes care of addiction formation as well as relapse.
-
For parents:
-
When you are planning to have a baby, the above 3 steps can be included in your daily routine.
-
Prior to intercourse, a couple can make a prayer to protect them and the conception from negative energy. The spiritual level of the parents can only help to a certain extent. A lot will also depend on the destiny of the child-to-be and it's demerits versus merits.
-
Bringing up the child in as sattvik an environment as possible and introducing the child to spiritual practice right from early childhood.
-
-
People who are not currently addicted, they too can put the above mentioned program into practice, as a preventive measure.
6.3 Critical success factors for the spiritual remedies
-
Regularity in spiritual practice of the 3 step spiritual treatment
-
Intense desire to quit addiction and thus fuelling the willpower to do so. Various other factors, such as environment of spiritual practice conforming to the six basic principles, family pressure and support, social pressure and support, etc. too fuel willpower to give up the addiction. Willpower is a very important factor in accelerating the process of rehabilitation. If strength of will is more than the strength of the possessing ghost a person can quit the addiction by willpower alone. Shock treatment also helps in this aspect. It is for this reason that when women become aware that they are pregnant their maternal instinct pushes their existing will power to higher levels.
-
Faith in God and the spiritual practice helps to accelerate the healing process.
6.4 Time needed for a full cure
-
By applying the 3-step program rigorously one can expect relief from their addictive behaviour in a few weeks to a few months.
-
In some occasional cases even if the person follows the program conscientiously, the time needed to cure addiction through spiritual healing may take longer if the strength of the possessing ghost is high.
-
It will also depend on the proportion of the ghost’s enjoyment of the addiction versus the addict’s. If it is mostly the ghost enjoying it, then the person will not have much problem to give up once he starts spiritual practice and overcomes the distress. If the affinity for the substance is entirely the ghost's, the person will be totally cured with spiritual treatment.
6.5 Benefits of spiritual treatment over conventional treatments
-
Minimal cost – cost is mainly in terms of time invested and regularity of effort besides the minimal cost of rock salt.
-
Minimal withdrawal symptoms
-
Other benefits have been described in the section on benefits of spiritual practice. They include
6.6 Cases where addiction stops all of a sudden with no apparent cause
In a few cases, we find that the addiction stops suddenly without any apparent reason or effort. This is explained at a spiritual level in the following way:
-
The addicted person has completed his destiny of suffering through the particular addiction.
-
The addicted person has completed his ‘give-and-take account’ with the subtle body of the particular ancestor or ghost (demon, devil, negative energy etc.)
-
The subtle body finds a more suitable body for fulfilling its craving.
-
The subtle body completes its suffering of being trapped by its desire and moves to a higher region or sub-region of existence.
7. In summary and what you can do with this research
-
Spiritual research on addiction shows that the spiritual dimension has a monopoly on the root causes of addiction.
-
Without taking the spiritual dimension into account, people trying to assist in rehabilitation of addicts can only have limited success.
-
If you know of someone who needs help with an addiction please email this article to them.
-
We have also provided a roadmap and a framework for treatment. We urge rehab centres and institutions involved with addictions to include spiritual remedies suggested in this article along with their usual treatment regime.

Melbourne 8 Nov, Spiritual research exposes true causes of addictions and their treatment
I was addicted to tobacco chewing since 12 years. I tried to give up the habit on many occasions but at the most I would be able to stay away for 15 days. Then I came to know about spiritual practice as per the six basic principles when I came into contact with SSRF. One and half years after starting chanting the Name of my Family deity and Lord Datta, the habit went away completely. Since last one and half years I am totally free of the addiction.
