Re: In the state of being drunk...

Alcohol is a horrible drug. It has killed half of my family of origin and nearly took me out as well. I heard an interesting story once, I can't verify it as fact, but supposedly a priest who is skilled in exorcisms always asks before he begins his work : "is there an alcoholic in the house?". I wonder why he would ask that.

Because if he manages to call up the (evil) spirits, the alcho might just drink them.http://www.godlikeproductions.com/images/smilies/gsbrnint.gif


Edit: I am sorry, in this instance my blind need for a laught caused me to failed to take into concideration the first half of your post.
I am sorry for your loss.
My father and two brothers are also plagued by the curse of alcholism and I've been through some crap because of this.

Re: In the state of being drunk...

I thought that perhaps the priest when doing exorcisms asked about alcoholics had something to do with a lowered consciousness obtained through drinking. Perhaps having a lowered consciousness or being even more unaware than usual makes it easier for negs/demons/evil spirits to enter a particular home, using the drunk as a portal or perhaps even possessing the drunk themselves. And since the drinker is often drunk the portal is often open allowing very easy access for a demon to enter a home.

Hmm i reckon i would be as just wary of the Priest as the alcoholic and would keep both out my house at all costs.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Re: In the state of being drunk...

I've found being drunk essentially puts me to 'sleep' unless I focus very hard, and blocks connection with the environment and the universe, whilst maybe enhancing connection the social realm.

I'm tempted to think alcohol has somekind of historical 'dumben the nation down with the food/drink we provide them so we can control them easily' roots, or has atleast be used for that kind of application.

Still, in an environment where drinking is the culture (university for me), its kind of hard not too drink, because you end up looking socially reclusive. I know some might say that you should be yourself and not drink if you don't want, but at the end of the day I want friends and I want a full spectrum of experiences before I pass over, not that I personally have a problem with getting drunk.

Separation of the mind and body is never a good thing really, but use for getting drunk is as a temporary escape from existence, as the thoughts of always being connected and being eternal sometimes get a bit much, as funny as it may sound. I can elaborate if anyone wishes.

Re: In the state of being drunk...

Alcohol and all drugs, especially pharmaceutical drugs like benzodiazepines and others containing fluoride can reduce your will and your ability to defend yourself against negative influences/entities, and inhibit you from seeing the truth. Drugs like Valium and Xanax will completely cut off your psychic abilities, and I've personally experienced how hard drugs can completely change a person. In a time when people in power depend on being able to hide everything from us in order to suceed is it any wonder that our culture seems to be obsessed with mind altering chemicals, natural or not?

Unfortunately, life is hard. It's a catch-22. Sometimes you just want to get high.

Don't surround yourself with yourself, move on back to squares.- Yes
