Vices and spirits

I came upon an interesting topic which I never thought much of. Does taking part in excessive alcohol, drugs, porn viewing open up the person to attacks from the spiritual world ?

On the surface it seems once people become addicted to their vices their worlds often implode. Numerous religions preach on avoiding these vices and partaking in activities that strengthen your relationship with god.... nature, exersise, mediation, prayer, living a simple unmaterialistic life... loving one partner...

Interested in your opinions.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

In my opinion, those things certainly do leave you wide open to negative energies.

Drugs definitely encourages negative energies or rather earth bound spirits who have been connected to drugs. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

However I have to say that alcohol is moderation shouldn’t be a problem.

Regarding porn. I feel it has damaged our young men. Just my opinion.

I knew a woman suffering from possession. She would steal money to buy cigarettes for the people the possessing spirit was targeting.

She complained to me that 5 minutes after stealing the money she would forget she had stolen it.

Nicotine damages the lightbody of humans - hence the previous custom of discouraging women from smoking.

Women not only bear the next generation, they also carry the culture. Thus they are a crucial point of attack upon Earth humanity

Re Mora

MORA: “She complained to me that 5 minutes after stealing the money she would forget she had stolen it.”

If she was telling you this AFTER she stole it then she must have remembered? Don’t get that.

You mention that nicotine damages the light body. Where did you read/hear that?

My observation is that nicotine makes the outer surface of the light body brownish and rubbery, and thereby somewhat resistant to incoming light.

I knew a third degree initiate (first stage enlightenment) that said that he smoked (cigars) to reduce his sensitivity to the emotions of others.
I was not entirely convinced. He seemed to be avoiding some of his own pain.

Mora I kinda feel this is hard to believe as a lot of the great spiritual people way back in the sixties and seventies had amazing spiritual
experiences and a lot of them smoked! (Not judging)

Can’t comment on auras as I don’t see them.

Good topic!
you're so correct, they don't call spirits, spirits for nothing.
The term spirits began with the accidental invention of wine. Way back in time people didn't understand fermentation and how it worked. They just simply thought there tasty fruit juice or sweet drink turned into wine magically, " by the spirits" something like wine was a heavenly drink. It's even mentioned in the bible when water was turned into wine by the holy Spirit. That "water" was most likely a honey Mead. The earliest, simplest version of wine made of water and honey.
