Alkohol, Religion und die Philosophie der Betäubung

Alcohol, religion and the philosophy of narcotics

For millennia, alcohol has played a deeply rooted role in rituals, societies, and even spiritual traditions. Of particular note is its use in certain religious ceremonies that serve as a symbol of community, devotion, or salvation.

But one crucial question often remains unanswered:

Why is a substance that clouds the mind considered sacred?

Alcohol – a tool of numbness?

A clear mind can question, recognize, and develop new perspectives. A numbed mind, on the other hand, is easier to lead. Historically, alcohol was used not only as a recreational drug, but often as a means of control.
Those who drink regularly lose mental clarity – and mental clarity is the foundation of self-determination.

Religion, rituals and submission

Many cultures have rituals in which alcohol plays a role. People drink to a higher power, symbolically participating in a sacred process. But what really happens?

Is it a symbol of spirituality or a subliminal message of “drink, surrender, become part of the crowd”?

This way of thinking is reflected not only in religion, but in society as a whole. Those who drink think less. Those who are drugged question less. This is no coincidence, but a millennia-old practice.

The alternative: awareness instead of numbness

Everyone has a choice: 
 Do you want to develop your full mental potential, with a clear mind and alert spirit?

Or do you accept the philosophy of numbing – and let others control your thinking?

Conscious living begins with conscious decisions. A clear mind isn't just an advantage—it's a sign of freedom.
