Years ago I had an experience that changed the way I look at alcohol.
I was driving through the downtown square at dusk and stopped at a red light. On the corner there was a busy restaurant and bar. People were gathered outside, laughing and talking, and the sound of voices drifted out into the street.
As I sat there waiting for the light to change, I felt a quiet nudge inside to look up at the top of the two-story building. When I did, I saw something that stopped me in my tracks. There were shadowy figures hovering above the roofline.
I asked inwardly, “What am I being shown?”
The understanding that came to me was that these shadow figures were waiting for people to drink so they could experience the effects of alcohol through them. I was also shown that the more someone numbs themselves, the easier it becomes for energies like that to enter the body and share the experience.
And sometimes, I was told, they don’t just pass through. They can linger, quietly reinforcing the craving so the experience continues.
Now, people will interpret something like this in different ways. Some may see it as literal. Others may see it as symbolic of what happens energetically when we dull our awareness.
For me, the message was simple: mind-altering substances change our state. They soften our boundaries and lower our awareness, and when that happens we may be opening ourselves to a lower vibrational state.
This isn’t about judging anyone’s choices. Many people enjoy a drink socially and move on with their lives. This is simply an experience I had years ago that I felt prompted to share. It may not be the experience or belief of others.
But it did make me more aware that what we consume doesn’t just affect the body. It can affect our clarity, our energy, and the space we carry within ourselves.
Sometimes awareness alone can shift the way we choose to move through the world.
Love y’all,
