....powerful. As moderator,,I have a tough time saying the material is 'outside business'. It's thought provoking and definitely on topic. I appreciate Gabor Mate's perspective,local to my hometown but definitely a global view. His spiritual and medical view is exceptional...definitely a good share for any 'normies' trying to understand addiction.

...'light the light within',,,indeed!

Interesting take on his look at 'filling the void' . To me, though, it's not the NA message.

 okay,,if group conscious goes that way,,I'll (sadly) get NG to remove the video.

...it seems to me that Gabor's commentary is a good base for NA related discussion,no?

What I have come to discover...is that this speaker is part of Ted X.....it's a whole series of speakers on self help topics on youtube. A very rich repertoire of interesting talks!!!

"Stressed, it's dessert spelled backward"

"Up in your head, you are behind enemy lines" & "That's NOT God talking to you"
