Even an addiction follows the fundamental laws of the Universe. One of them, the logical and easy to understand theory of Yin Yang, provides us with a model that visually charts out the Four Steps of how an addiction manifests.

In this Lesson, we investigate them and how they’ve appeared in our lives. These Four Steps are:

  1. The Meteor of TAHL hits

  2. Makes the Crater

  3. Forms the Wound

  4. The Pull of the Wound
