Why do we pray before meals? You will say it is a gesture of gratitude toward the Creator for allowing us to satisfy our hunger. Yes, of course, but this custom also derives from knowledge held by the initiates about the reality of the invisible world. They know that on the astral plane there are innumerable creatures who are also hungry and thirsty and who attempt to infiltrate human beings and feed on them. Nutrition in human beings is a function that is still very similar to an animal instinct, and, if we are not vigilant while eating, we usher in entities from the astral world with an affinity for these instinctive tendencies. By addressing a prayer to the Lord before the meal, we ask him to come and eat with us, and, once we have opened the door to him, it is closed to the undesirables of the astral plane.
