As we come to the end of Neptune’s 160 cycle, I look at how alcohol and drugs have exercised humanity’s muscle of separation from spirit with:

1. Why Neptune is the factor to make us lose our sense of self, but in deeper context, to separate us from spirit so that we find our way back
2. Why the elites placed pubs outside the factories and mines to encourage the loss of self via drinking, in order to create a complaint workforce
3. Neptune was last in Pisces at the Opium wars and coming full circle to the opioid crisis in this era
4. How the drink Absinthe became the cocktail during Neptune in Pisces in the Victorian era and so began a period of drunkeness that is perhaps ending now
5. Steiner says alcohol is our lesson to draw us into separation and Dionysian cults used alcohol to flex that muscle, walking a tightrope of separation before potentially falling
6. Bloomberg says $480billion has been wiped off the top x50 alcohol companies in the last four years as millennials and Gen Z are just not drinking like previous generations
7. - How the first miracle performed by Christ was the turning of water into wine, to demonstrate a separation from family, tribe, blood, so that we become individuals and come back to spirit of our own free will and impetus
