Is there such a thing as information addiction?

This is just fascinating! Do you work now? How do you fit all your learning in around it? Do you mind if I ask what sparked you to change in the first place? You sound like you're having a lot of fun!

No I don't work right now, I was laid off from my job 7 months ago. The first thing that happened to spark my interest in learning though, it happened about 3 or 4 years ago. I had a lucid dream without even knowing what one was...and I researched those, and that led me to books about enlightenment, and those led me to books about metaphysics, and that led me to books about the law of attraction and that led me to books about meditation and that led me to books about this, that and the other thing, and on and on! And also, when I finally got a computer 2 years ago, that helped, I was in awe at all the information I could find online without even having to buy books, but I still read books, so now I spend all my free time (where i'm alone, anyway) reading books or surfing the net, or watching educational shows. Most of my day today I spent watching some shows on the History channel about the universe, the moon, the earth, etc. I have this intense urge to find out the truth about reality. I've also been heavily into Paganism/Wicca lately so I have 2 books on that as well as a slew of websites I have bookmarked that deal with those subjects. So, it's a neverending quest! In fact as I type this, I am in the middle of watching a video about evolution vs. creationism. These are probably all subjects that most people paid attention to in high school or they have no interest in them at all because they are too busy working and paying bills and raising kids. (I have no kids).
