Origins of Alcohol

[sublimesatanist]

I'm very curious about this as alcohol, albeit a toxic and harmful, has been celebrated throughout history.

I wonder if things like absinthe had originally been meant as a herbal remedy (like a potion), and that liquors (spirits) refer to evocation/invocation.

Ninkasi is a Sumerian goddess of brewing and in some writings (I can't recall the one) it describes the joys of making beer in an abstract/poetic kind of way.

Also in the myth, Inanna and Enki, the two (of the same names) have a drinking competition. When drunk Enki gave all of the mehs, the gifts of civilization, to Inanna, which she took with her to Uruk.


Again, these writings are so old and I think it's possible these things could've been medicines and maybe even something like kombucha. Although it's made by fermenting yeast, sugar and tea in water, it can also be prepared using whole grain berries in place of tea.

It wouldn't surprise me if something like kombucha existed outside of China during 220 BCE. When I consider the realm of ancient history in a general sense (3000 BCE to 500 AD) it appears this was a time of incredible technology and knowledge that was shared throughout the world.

Apart from this we know the enemy used black slaves to make alcohol and they sold it back to these people. It was also used to aid in conquering and subjugating Native/Aboriginal peoples (not sure if it was the Monarchy/Europe or the enemy, though either wouldn't surprise me).

There are so many false flags, distractions and lies. Especially when it comes to disclosure on topics that are 'too sensitive' for the sheeple (such as Epstein files/investigations, UFO/UAEs, secret military operations/research, health research/implications, etc.)

What makes black projects especially intriguing to me is they are always shared between Government and private contracts, which makes them immune to the FOIA.

Still, considering that earth will eventually be liberated and return to this golden age I think we have a good position for not letting things upset us too much.


Anyway, sorry for the vague ramble and feel free to share your thoughts/perspectives on this topic.

Neither beer nor wine are "fine" or taught to us by the Gods. Wine was popularised by the xtard church. Both of them are alcohol. Fermented products that were eaten just fine are others such as yogurt, cheese, kefir...

Whether you decide to drink any of those or not, it is your business. However, just like the title of this post says, "any amount can cause [unnecessary] damage to the brain [and not only]" and one needs to be informed of that. Alcohol is a disinfectant for external use. Nothing more, nothing less. - Stormblood

Every province of Rome had specific types of alcohol that numbered in the dozens. The distinction is that most alcohols in Rome were watered down and chronic drunkenness was looked down upon.

I am a teetotaler myself as I personally never liked the taste but I don't see anything wrong with alcohol in moderation.

High Priestess Maxine Dietrich[/url]"] In moderation, alcohol can be a good thing.

Alcohol was made and discovered millions of times naturally by different people, when people find fruit and pick as much as they can and then try to save it for later. The fruit ferments and turns into alcohol. This is not a good thing and it would be better if the fruit stayed fresh. But it was better than if the fruit rotted because the fermenting usually prevented it from rotting and would help in some amount to preserve it for a longer time. But it would usually not be consumed with a high alcohol content, and would usually be mixed with water.

Another example is for hundreds of years, most people did not have clean water to drink. People would die every day from diseases that were gotten from contaminated water. Bacterias, viruses, parasites. And also the farmers would harvest a lot of grains in the fall and have to eat these for the entire year. The grain would not be perfectly dried and would not be kept in perfect conditions. The pile of grains would rot, it would grow mold all over it, it would be filled with rats and insects, it would grow ergot fungus which contains LSD and LSA. The food that they worked for all year to grow would be ruined and wasted, and the people would be hungry.

Beer was invented to solve both of these problems. The yeast fermenting and growing out-competes the bacteria and often prevents the bacteria from growing, so it made the water safer to drink. For multiple hundreds of years, all of the people were drinking this beer every day instead of water because it did not have the bacteria and viruses, so it was the only thing that was safe to drink. But the alcohol levels were very low like 2 or 3%, so the people were not getting drunk. And this also was a way to use the extra grains so they would not rot and be wasted. Many of the carbs and calories from the grains would stay in the beer, so it was also like a supplemental food supply for the people who often had very little food.

The fermented mash that is left over is like oatmeal, but people would almost never eat this because it has so much live yeast that is still fermenting that it would make people feel sick, but it is perfect for farm animals like pigs and chickens to eat. And this was an extremely valuable food source for the farm animals, otherwise it would be too expensive to have any animals because there would be no food for them. If it was in a village, the town's pig farm that supplies meat for the whole town is dependent on the old used mash grains, and if it wasn't for this there would be no pig farm. So it is basically taking the old wasted grains that were about to rot soon, and turning them into meat.

The most important thing is that beer making was basically the only source of large amounts of pure yeast, and not just that but predictable yeast that would give the same effect every time. You could make something like a sour dough and hope it will naturally ferment from the millions of spores of yeast floating around in the air, but it would take a long time for the extremely small amounts of natural yeast to colonize, and in this increased fermenting time the yeast would be weak so it would be a high chance of a dangerous bacteria taking over and making it poisonous. It would also be no way to predict how the yeast would react because it would be a different strain every time. With natural yeast from the air, the bread may rise extremely high one day, and not rise at all the next day. It can work for somebody making bread at home, but is not practical for a bakery mass producing bread every day to supply the entire town to have no consistent and repeatable yeast.

But from beer production, there is a large layer of yeast left on the bottom of the tank. This would be given for free to the bakery, or some would also be given to anybody who wants it. And all of the yeast is from the same colony, they are all a clone of the same exact genetics of yeast. So it is predictible and will work the same way every time. The bakery can mass produce by doing the same recipe every time, something like each bread loaf is 2 bowls of flour, one bowl of water, and one small cup of yeast, and make 100 loafs in one day and they will all be good quality. And they can be made much faster because there is such a high amount of yeast to start with it will only need a couple hours to rise, instead of a few days like yeast from the air. For hundreds of years, bread has been the main staple food allowing our people to survive, and nearly all of that bread was with yeast from beer. That's why it was bread and not a dense hard cracker. And with this new ability to make extremely large amounts of bread very quickly, grains could be turned into bread and have dried bread pieces which would be able to be stored for a very long time without any problems, possibly for years. And these bread crumbs would be added into things like soup where they would become soft and dissolve. Some times this would be the only ingredient in the soup, but it is better than nothing if you are starving.


Absinthe was originally intended as a medicine. All of the many different plants and herbs that are included in there have been used for thousands of years as medicines. The main ingredient is Wormwood which is one of the strongest natural medicines for killing parasites and viruses. Alcohol is also the perfect solvent to disolve many different organic chemicals, so all of these plants can be chopped up and put into alcohol and the alcohol will dissolve all of the useful and medicinal chemicals out of them. And this liquid can also be stored for an extremely long time this way without degrading. If you go to the pharmacy now and look, and you look at any bottle of liquid medicine, all of them are using alcohol as the main solvent. And in all flavored foods, the flavor concentrates are all dissolved in alcohol the same way.

High concentration alcohol is not a good thing, and it should never be consumed in any large amounts. But that is not the way that things like absinthe were traditionally used. It was kept as a homemade medicine just in case somebody gets sick, and only a small amount of it would be consumed for the purpose of consuming the medical chemicals from the plants. The intention was not about consuming any alcohol and it was not done for any recreational reason. And it was made to be as concentrated as possible with the amount of dissolved plant extracts, to have the most amount of medicine doses contained in the least amount of alcohol.

I don't know what they would call alcohol in ancient Rome or Greece but alcohol is a word of Arabic origin al kuhul which was used by the Arab alchemists and means the spirit and that is the reason why high alcoholic drinks in medieval times were called "spirituous drinks".

Obviously the original meaning of this word was a spiritual concept that later was corrupted, the literal drunkenness has nothing spiritual and are only symptoms of poisoning.

 

[WiseDragon]

Alcohol even in small quantities creates holes in the Aura, and makes one spiritually weaker and open to attacks. This is a painful truth, but it is what it is. I know many people will disagree and be mad about this, but alcohol is just poison for the Soul. So even if you let a little poison in, it still does damage.

I quit drinking anything with alcohol almost 2 years ago. I'm also a person that easily develops addictions, and when I do something I often go all in and lose control, so this was a great decision. I'd advice anyone to really quit drinking alcohol.

A funny thing about this decision that I made to quit alcohol forever, is that on my hands, studying Palmistry, i noticed that I had really strong tendencies to develop an alcohol addiction, and since i quit, that line on my hand became less and less visible, and now you can barely see it.

That's one thing that Palmistry gives you that Astrology can't, it kinda updates your situation in real time (based on your decisions and what you're doing). Another example is my Mount of Mars becoming 3/4 times bigger after doing 2 Mars Squares. Really amazing. I'll talk more about this in the future.

I look forward to your post! I have also noticed things in my hand change for the better after doing workings and advancing.

This is also why I prefer tarot to astrology for myself, it is based on the current time, not just what was set at birth as astrology is. Once karma is overcome or changed, certain things don't really apply anymore.

Oi don't make me paranoid about eating those chocolates which have tiny amounts of alcohol, or cough syrup or dealing with alcohol sanitizers which fall on my hand

Yes. Certain poisons have too been venerated in medicine - in their proper amounts, they heal. In improper, they destroy.

What hasn't been celebrated is overuse, dumb use, and using recklessly.
