WPA, that "relapse file" analogy is great. I had a chuckle with that one !

Great stuff. I'm sure that's how it works, more or less. The Beast has to appeal to the higher brain functions in order to get what it wants, and that's where the Addictive Voice comes in. It has to convince you that it is a good idea to do what it wants you to do.

Think about your hunger drive. The body says "I want food," but it isn't going to get food until you get in your car, go to the supermarket, pick out ingredients, go through the checkout line, get home, and cook it. So, the body shows you images of food, the supermarket, etc. If you want a more complex example, think about what people do just to get a date on a Friday night.
