If I struggle with something, usually (the logical choice), is to admonish and warn others against the thing that ensnares me. To do otherwise, is hellish and illogical.
I thought the interesting thing in this article was the reference to the vision of a bar (and the evil entities that would take over the abandoned souls). This is identical to Spencer's account in Visions of Glory. I have high-lighted it below. In fact, when I saw the account early on in the story, coupled with a reference to a psychology class, I was looking to see if it was written by him.
For a second there, I thought this guy was writing from an LDS perspective, and then realized that he is likely Muslim (who are also against alcoholic consumption). Very interesting stuff.
I am still baffled on a regular basis (when I think about this phenomenon), of the dunderheads out there who argue that "just a little won't hurt". My black sheep sister, my mil and so many others who have seen it control lives (likely through demonic control, as this author describes) - yet, they still push for it's use. I cannot think of anything more illogical and idiotic for a person to do. My mil has (for some reason) paid out tens of thousands of dollars for her kids' rehab stints (she is VERY mizerly with her money, normally and this is likely out of her guilt for having pushed the stuff as harmless during her kids' formative years, knowing her parents were both alcoholics and many on her ex-husband's side were complete Jack-Mormons due to the inability to control the consumption of the hooch.....), while at the same time, she pushes the idea that consumption is no big deal! Amazing to me!
The only thing that can explain it, beyond being a potential mental illness (lack of logic in the processing centers of the brain), is demonic control. It is akin to having a person who is a 100% coverage burn victim after a plane crash, working as a tv model and a spokesman for the safety and wonders of flight!! (ripping my hair out, as a committed disciple of logical behavior.....).
I will never forget my induction into this world when I was a freshman student at WSU (in Pullman, WA). NEVER send your kids there - if you value them in any way. I was induced to go there by the lure of scholarships. I did not take the ACT seriously and I was one point short of the scholarship needed to tip the balance in favor of BYU. In some ways, I was seriously upset in hind sight - but in others, I was glad I was able to see the sinister side of life (without getting sucked into it), and then to contrast that with my LDS mission (seeing more of the hellish effects of alcohol on mens' lives and their families in Brazil) and then with a relatively pure and wholesome experience at BYU. In the 30 years since then - I have witnessed the carnage all surrounding the ingestion and wreckage that alcohol leaves in peoples' lives that I grew up around. I have to say here - that a little probably would not hurt. I am quite positive that the wine at the wedding feast was likely fermented and not freshly crushed grape juice - although, it literally could have been, as it is a fall Festival - and the Savior probably followed the narrative to the "t".
However, having said that; what I do see, is that, like any other comfort item (like food, chocolate, etc), it leaves a trail of obesity and carnage behind in it's wake. Sometimes, a lifetime of incarceration in the case of DUI driving, smashing the in the head of your wife on a cruise ship (I always say to myself when reading out of character behavior (alcohol consumption was a factor in this incident....). Anything, with that level of seriousness of consequence - should be avoided at any cost! Kind of like drinking Drano..... No Bwano!
Last of all - I have to give credit to my black sheep sister here on a story that still blows my mind. And she does probably still read the blog in order to find fault with me (along with my mil). I have no problem with either of them. I have major problems with their actions and illogical behavior...... Right after we lost our child to SIDS - and in spite of the peace that the gospel brings - we were out in front of our house talking to her and my good sister in law who had come to see what they could do. We were talking about how neither of us had slept in days. We spent most of the time crying and reminiscing about our little guy. My sister said that we should probably take a little wine and that would help. Now, at the time, in our brains that were just slightly fuzzy from the effects of all that had gone on, might not have processed that offer properly and taken her up on it. But - we thanked her for her offer and parted ways. After the fog lifted and things started to return to normal, I got pretty angry over the callousness of it. A few years later, after having the second of "the second wave" of children (after our loss) and my wife would not sleep over concern of losing another one in the night, she developed severe mental health symptoms and ended up in the hospital. Both of us maintain, that had either of us been into alcohol in ANY form, we would have ended up alkies; the both of us. Especially my wife would likely have resorted to it to "drown out the voices" in her head with her condition.
We both maintain a severe level of compassion towards the countless homeless people - because most of them are just struggling with the effects of masking symptoms of mental illness. What we BOTH despise - are the pushers and purveyors of "just a little won't hurt" BS that is out there. From the high school kegger to the event on the doorstep in a vulnerable moment - to the guy at the party giving the girl a shot of whatever, in the hopes she will be drunk enough that he can get into her pants and have his way with her virtue, we CONDEMN those things. If you are reading this and have been in those positions - now is the time to come to a point where you confess your nothingness before the Lord and repent immediately, lest intense and lasting judgments come down upon you. Many times, we cannot undo the damage our hellish acts have caused, but it is QUITE easy to repent of bad thinking and bad attitudes that have led, and will continue to lead to hellish thinking and actions.
Anyway - having endured my rant against illogical and perverse people and behaviors, here is what you came here for:
By Zahrah Sita
Although it is mass produced, mass promoted, legal, and ingested by a multitude of people all over the world, most people don’t ever consider or understand the spiritual consequences of drinking alcohol.
Let’s begin by taking a look at the etymology of the Word alcohol. Etymology means the root of the word… where it is derived from.
The word “Alcohol” comes from the Arabic “al-kuhl” which means “BODY EATING SPIRIT”, and gives root origins to the English term for “ghoul”. In Middle Eastern folklore, a “ghoul” is an evil demon thought to eat human bodies, either as stolen corpses or as children.
The words “alembic” and “alcohol”, both metaphors for aqua vitae or “life water” and “spirit”, often refer to a distilled liquid that came from magical explorations in Middle Eastern alchemy.
In the words of writer and health enthusiast, Jason Christoff – “In alchemy, alcohol is used to extract the soul essence of an entity. Hence its’ use in extracting essences for essential oils, and the sterilization of medical instruments. By consuming alcohol into the body, it in effect extracts the very essence of the soul, allowing the body to be more susceptible to neighboring entities most of which are of low frequencies (why do you think we call certain alcoholic beverages “SPIRITS?”). That is why people who consume excessive amounts of alcohol often black out, not remembering what happened. This happens when the good soul (we were sent here with) leaves because the living conditions are too polluted and too traumatic to tolerate. The good soul jettisons the body, staying connected to a tether, and a dark entity takes the body for a joy ride around the block, often in a hedonistic and self-serving illogical rampage. Our bodies are cars for spirits. If one leaves, another can take the car for a ride. Essentially when someone goes dark after drinking alcohol or polluting themselves in many other ways, their body often becomes possessed by another entity.”
I became aware of this phenomenon years ago when I was given a spiritual vision. In this vision, I was transported as an observer above a popular bar and nightclub. Above the venue where a variety of ghoul-like entities. Inside the bar were people drinking alcohol, socializing, dancing, and so on. I watched as certain people became very drunk. I saw their souls, while connected through a thread, exited the body. I understood that the soul was leaving the body because of the great discomfort of being in a body highly intoxicated with alcohol. When the soul exited the body, other non-benevolent entities entered or latched on to their vacant shells. Once the entities took hold of the body, they used the body to play out all kinds of dark acts, such as violence, low-level sexual encounters, destructive behaviors, rape, and more.
Years later, while reading a book called Mans Eternal Quest, by Paramahansa Yogananda, this spiritual master clearly explained the exact same thing as I was shown in the vision.
I began to look back over my life and remember situations where I saw dark spirits hanging around people who had become very drunk. Let me elaborate a bit when I say I saw these entities … I have had the abilities of clairvoyance (the ability to perceive things beyond the natural range of the senses … which can include: ESP, extrasensory perception, sixth sense, psychic powers, second sight; telepathy, and more) , clairaudience ( the ability to perceive sounds or words from outside sources in the spirit world), and the experience of being a spiritual intuitive and empath since childhood. I have the ability to see energies and spiritual manifestations that most people don’t see. As I looked back over my life I could remember many incidents of encountering non-benevolent spirits in the presence of intoxicated individuals. I also have had experiences of looking into the eyes of a few people who were surely “possessed” by dark energies that were not their own.
I also remember a psychology course I once took. In part of this course, we studied advertising and the effects on humans. We looked at the advertising for alcohol. A master teacher of this subject illuminated the fact that most alcohol advertisements are embedded with hidden messages and images – not typically perceivable to the common sight, yet perceived through the subconscious. Knowing how powerful the subconscious is in our decision making, feelings, reactions, beliefs, etc., the slick sales teams of alcohol (as well as tobacco and other products) used this sinister technique to trick us into buying their products and joining the societal cult of mental apathy and cultural obedience. Many of these hidden messages and images were extremely sexual – working to influence some of the basest urges and primal nature of humans. Let this example bring you to a place of curiosity and questioning. Why have the marketing teams felt the need to trick us and coerce us through subliminal messages to buy products that are harmful to the human body and to our soul?
How many times have you or someone you know, after becoming quite intoxicated with alcohol, behaved in a manner uncommon to them? Perhaps you experienced the changing of voice, violence, sexual promiscuity, ingesting of harmful substances, destruction to property, conflictual behavior, and other negative expressions. Consider these experiences and ask yourself – is this the manifestation of light, love, and positivity? Do these occurrences represent a path of consciousness and health?
It is a known by many that ingesting alcohol depresses the nervous system, kills brain cells, is toxic to the liver, weakens the immune system, and has many other harmful effects. We are taught that long-term alcohol use can lead to unwanted weight gain, diseases of the liver, lowering of intelligence, and negative effects on hormones. Drinking alcohol while pregnant can lead to birth defects, mental retardation, and deformities in the developing fetus. Yet still, it is mass promoted and supported by our mainstream culture. Have you ever considered that alcohol is a slick tool of the supporters of the Matrix (global mind control and oppression program) to keep people on a path of disempowerment and sickness?
As we strive to heal, awaken, and transform our world – I pray that we wise up to the dirty trick played upon humanity in regards to alcohol. Non-benevolent forces have wanted to keep us oppressed, disempowered, and asleep.
How many of us have seen families broken and lives lost because of alcohol and alcoholism?
Do you think it makes us smarter or healthier or overall better people?
It’s time to change things.
Let’s stand behind replacing the rampant abuse of alcohol with more health enhancing practices and activities –
and learn how to live awakened and empowered lives!
Before I close this writing, I want to share a little more about the history of the word alcohol. There have been some people who look into the etymology and discover this explanation –
“alcohol (n.) – 1540s (early 15c. as alcofol), “fine powder produced by sublimation,” from Medieval Latin alcohol “powdered ore of antimony,” from Arabic al-kuhul “kohl,” the fine metallic powder used to darken the eyelids, from kahala “to stain, paint.”
Paracelsus (1493-1541) used the word to refer to a fine powder but also a volatile liquid. By 1670s it was being used in English for “any sublimated substance, the pure spirit of anything,” including liquids. Sense of “intoxicating ingredient in strong liquor” is first recorded 1753, short for alcohol of wine, which was extended to “the intoxicating element in fermented liquors.” In organic chemistry, the word was extended 1850 to the class of compounds of the same type as this.”
Upon further research, we can find that in ancient Egypt, the eyes of both men and women were lined top and bottom with a thick black powder known as kohl, kajal, or mesdemet. The outlined eye resembled the almond-shaped eye of the falcon god Horus observed in the Eye of Horus glyph. It was believed that this shape invoked the god´s protection and warded off evil spirits.
Yet if one were to dig deeper, as a true scientist, researcher, or truth seeker does, you will also discover these interesting facts…
- Dr. Rachel Hajar, an accomplished modern-day editor, author and medical advisor, while researching an article on alcohol for her online medical journal, found additional meanings in ancient Arabic texts;
- Al kol: Genie or spirit that takes on varied shapes or a supernatural creature in Arabic mythology.
- Al kol: Any drug or substance that takes away the mind or covers it.”
- The word alcohol is also linked to the fixed star in astronomy known as Algol- also known as “the Demon’s head.”
- The current Arabic name for alcohol (ethanol) is الغول al-ġawl – properly meaning “spirit” or “demon”.
It is not a coincidence that alcohol has often been referred to as spirits. There is a deep history behind this intoxicating substance. There are layers of information throughout our culture, sometimes we have to look below the surface of things to find the fullness of truth. I encourage you to deeply consider the information shared here, look at the effects of alcohol in your life, in the lives of the people you know, and in society at large. Make conscious, informed, and health enhancing decisions. The more people who awaken to truth and seek health and liberation from mind control agendas, the more likely we are to make positive changes and co-create a world we feel good about living in.
