another remark on al-cool

the power of alkohol is the power of a plant, too.
it even refers to the spirit.

nevertheless, it represents the principle of disconnection.
it signifies a method of getting in contact with the plant
instead of the quality of the plant itself.

the method becomes more important than the plant itself.
the method has its own attraction for human play instinct.
the method makes the message of the plant itself forgotten.

it is an approach to the plant which leads away from the plant.
 the main hazard of drinking.
it immediately pulls the drinker to another direction
as that his soul is longing for.

it’s a trickster’s game.
the trickster is part of the divine order, too.
not being well prepared for encountering the trickster.
not being aware of his presence.
loneliness, confusion, desparation emerge.
not to mention the displacement of responsibility.
any real vision - that is: any image with
a seriously life-supporting power - stays away.

probably the only chance to avoid this could be:
following a strict ritual setting of drinking,
thus establishing a strong and veracious position
for man in the world: holy human live composition.

perhaps even the bacchanal with its savage shape
is more effective than the pub, the bar, the living-room.
