Alcohol is a dark energy anchoring us in the shallows.
Even a little bit, even from time to time.
This substance weights the soul, keeps it at ground level, or even below, if life itself becomes imbued with the scents – always heavy and vulgar – of alcoholic beverages.
Under the misleading appearance given by some distortions of perceptions, some anesthesia of emotions, under the cover of a very temporary and superficial disinhibition,
Alcohol actually inhibits any conscious experience allowing the evolution of being.
This is what we realize during a night not tainted by the ingestion of alcohol.
I have never drunk a lot, never really drank at all, to be honest.
But for several weeks now, due to rough moments in my life,
every evening, I have had one or two glasses of wine, In order to sleep, faster, not to think too much into the night.
It reminds me of what I already know very well, but which I had forgotten, which perhaps others do not know, or have forgotten…
The experience of consciousness happens at night,
One thing I know, is that,
With alcohol, it just doesn’t happen at all
