Depressants, quite simply, depress our thoughts and feelings. The definition of depress is “push down, lessen, or decrease.” When we take depressants, we are “pushing down,” or avoiding our natural mental and emotional patterns—our innate feelings!

I’ve heard God described as a mystery. It does not reveal itself through science, ultimatum, or wishful thinking. It does not need you to believe in it. It has infinite patience, and will allow you to make your choices. It is available to you, but will not force itself on you.
