..No its is not, but its good for sleeping.
My previous post vanished ! I hope it wasn't censored as I was critical of the need for Alcohol in the Spiritual life or anytime.
so I will sum up …Alcohol is the most dangerous drug there is. Google it.
I cant believe Eckhart is encouraging it in any situation….especially those on the path to awakening.
I am disappointed in Eckhart's understanding on this crutch that so many depend on.
If one has an experience of the Divine ,the need for drugs and other bad habits vanishes, God or whatever name you use is the best drug.

Small men find Big mountains Hard,

I'm so thankful that this video is uploaded before the year 2023, before watching this entirely I thought that quitting alcohol was necessary bc in the beginning of this year I've abused this for dealing with an unhealed relationship with my ex partner, this dragged me back into unconsciously, but since a period of healing, by being alone and reading two of your books, I got the feeling from one to the other day that I don't need to do this anymore, but from time to time I enjoy a tasty glass of wine, your words really helped me by taking my decision.
Alcohol is for cleaning only!
But Ekhart, thats what actually happens in AA
Most Alcoholics never experience the 12 Steps …
Its hard enough to Quit addiction without realising a God … Whatever a God is ?
After realising God is within Everyone …
How would you approach the 4th Step ? ?
Any answer appreciated ✌
Finally, only Tolle could say the truth
A sensation of being present and true, embalmed this talk, was my perception when listening, and still is 🙏 I couldn't however but sense a slight flair of shyness when mentioning a SINGLE experience of LSD. On a personal experience, Eckhart was my anchor of presence during my SEVERAL experiences of psychedelics, always helping me find balance through presence. 🙏
I know now that altered states of consciousness are experiences that must go hand in hand with balance, yet still through the fine art of "letting go" with the least among of resistance from the ego 🙏🙏
Thank you for your beautiful soul Eckhart 🙏🙏🙏
I have struggled with alcohol for many years. Because of seeking a spiritual life, I always experience a great deal of guilt and regret. It is a vicious mental cycle I put myself through. I can't resonate with AA, so I'm looking for help.
Alcohol single handedly destroyed my spiritual growth. Stopping Alcohol and Brahmachariyan both helped me connect to the universe and all nature. Whenever I relapse it's like your brain resets all your spiritual growth and then you start from scratch. Amazing mentioned Baba Ram DASS 💙🙏
