We can do what the fxck we want and enjoy doing as long it doesn’t hurt ourselves and others, AND we are not doing it to run away from our painful truths and from feeling our painful feelings/soul, our true feelings are our soul, so if you can’t feel and go on repressing your authentic feelings with the aid of money, religion, drugs, medication, alcohol, sex, relationships, yoga or whatever illusion you head creates to distract yourself from your authentic feelings, you are repressing your feelings/soul and therefore living without a soul acting as if personality deceiving yourself and others.
Just like the German-Swiss alchemist and physician Paracelsus established some 500 years ago, "Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy."
And as Alice miller says: “There are plenty of means to combat symptoms of distress: medications, sermons, numerous ‘treatments,’ ‘miracles,’ threats, cults, pedagogical indoctrination and even blackmail, they can all work for a while, but only because they reinforce the repression and reinforce the fear of resolving it. … A lot of money and fame comes from this business of repression because it satisfies the longing of so many grown-up children: to be loved as a good child. … In the long term, we have to pay a high price for this repression.” Breaking Down the Wall of Silence, page 126
