The Four Drunks

GOD AND THE FOUR DRUNKS

When you take your 4 bodies out for a few drinks something quite amazing happens to your holistic being. You never go out alone but often end up very alone. This event can take place gradually and covertly, or as outright intention. It depends on your purpose for heavy drinking. The players are all just you ; your 4 aspects ; the bodies ; Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical. Whether you set out to get blind drunk or even if you just progressively get drunker and drunker ; the results are the same.

 I feel the Spirit-body has no interest in alcohol as such, and will have no part in a moon-howling binge ; so when the Holistic-you chooses to go get drunk the Spirit-body will sit back, disconnect, and wait for you - usually in the car park. And if you make it back to the car your Spirit-body  is ready to try and help get you all home.

So when you sit down at the bar and take your first drink there is only three of you and this may be why you feel a bit lighter, more relaxed and less burdened. The Spirit-body is missing along with the responsibility of your synergistic evolution ; and the question of purpose ; and the curiosity to answer that lurking question ; and its unfelt answer which so many of us are disconnected from, but can still feel and sense.  So we feel less burdened or anxious, and often after the first mouthful will proclaim ; “Aahhh thats better ! I really needed that ! “

(but did we really??)  So with the spirit body out of the way its just the 3 drunks.

 This leaves the more dominant body in charge, which is the "smart” one ; the Mental-body.

This could explain why after a few drinks we suddenly know everything and are compelled to tell everyone about it, often explaining the debate scenario where intellect and knowledge of unrelated facts becomes the currency of the moment. This state also allows the ego to step in and say whatever it likes ; and it does ! This combination in its moderate form can create a false sense of confidence ; in its extreme form it’s obnoxious and arrogant. In its milder state it’s often mistaken for being charming and witty. We all know the confident smart guy that always has a comment to make and will sarcastically get a laugh out of putting someone down in front of their peers. This can be with a casual unasked for comment to someone just walking past ;   or more personally and intimate with one of his friends  scoring points against each other ;  This is the Mental-body in charge and loving it, this is not a display of strength and character but more often one of ego and seduction and in its early and amusing stage some intelligent and mature women find it quite attractive especially if they’re looking for that "someone" to be with. “Someone” interesting and exciting, and the 3 body drunk is confident, smart and funny, and if he’s Ok-looking and clean, he’s in. The seduction is complete. Its only when you get him home, and after more drinking that his charm and confidence turns into arrogance and attitude, and in its extreme or final form becomes obnoxious and even violent. When enough has been drunk that the Mental body cannot function it too leaves, yet not willingly or easily. It hangs in there probably the longest as it loves the pseudo control and only lets go when it absolutely has to. Unlike the Spirit-body who is still out in the carpark ....waiting.

 This leaves only two bodies drinking and the next more dominant body, the Emotional-body takes over. The 2 body drunk will often appear suddenly as if out of nowhere. I feel this may be due to the Mental body hanging on for so long, being reluctant to leave, so it goes suddenly and bang ! - the Emotional body is in charge. This can create the crying drunk full of woe and self pity. The sobbing fool   or the angry and hateful drunk full of resentment and rage   or even the comical drunk who laughs at everything and just falls over a lot,

This type of emotional drunk is less prevalent in general and more often expressed by teenagers or young adults who are a bit immature even when sober. An adult comical drunk will do crazy things for a laugh like an extreme jester and sometimes do stupid and dangerous things for a thrill. There seems to be no order of preference with the emotional drunk they may graduate through all these variations ; be any one singly ; or a hybrid combination of any emotional condition that is present in the sober 4 body person. This is the more complex drunk and harder to understand, The 2 body drunk is usually a shorter reign, depending on the type-dominant :  the crying comical drunk being more passive doesn’t usually last that long. Whereas the angry hateful drunk being more aggressive can hang in there for hours, and once the emotional body has had enough, it too leaves , with the crying drunk it will wind down and step into the last body the physical just long enough to vomit and pass out ; goodbye and goodnight. Whereas the comical drunk will often calm down go quiet and sober up a bit, and then just get drunk again. Ding dong round two.

 But with the angry drunk its usually different. Once the emotional body leaves, you’re left with the physical body going strong, and often fueled by the stored up anger. This is the 1 body drunk with the physical being in charge not because it’s dominant, but because there’s no-one else left to drive except an unqualified pilot. This often creates the fighting drunk and he really "must fight" and can be quite dangerous as there hasn’t been any spiritual guidance since you walked into the pub, and now there’s no intellect to generate reasoning and no emotion so no empathy or compassion, very much like a crazed Neanderthal who must fight. Often if he does manage to get his fight he will suddenly transmute into the must-have-sex type, depending on the buried intent. Violence can be a strong stimulant to him. He may express both the fight then sex symptom, or just one of the two, this will also depend on opportunity and availability. In its extreme form, which is very primal, this type once they've expressed their outburst will wind down slowly more like an old clock muttering incoherently : “I’m really sorry” or “ I really really love you. I’m really really sorry man” and then fall into a deep deep sleep. Whereas the less extreme type will often get very wobbly like they’re on a boat and fall over a lot and get up a lot and end up spending hours driving the porcelain-bus, vomiting and or dry retching for hours and hours until they black out totally exhausted on the toilet floor.

 If you’re lucky, while all this has gone on, on your night out, the Spirit-body is still in the car park patiently waiting for all the fun to end, and by now has rounded up the mental and emotional body and put them in the car. Where all 3 bodies wait for the physical to re-join them, wherever it is ?? Hopefully fast asleep somewhere in a drunken vomit-stained coma where it will sleep the night off enough to sober up and find the other three tomorrow. Yet if it wakes up too early and finds the car, it will try to drive and possibly kill everyone on the way home.

 So be careful when you do drink, and who you don’t drink with !?

This possibly explains why some people are their own worst enemies.

This is God and the 4 drunks.

 p.s. have fun
