Default Re: Experiences with Fasting

First thing, "...some reasons listed by book "Hunger" the religions Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Morons , Christians, Muslims and Taoists and fast on some days." , I don't know if this is Freudian or hilarious. Well, either way, it's funny.

Secondly, I thought you told me that you did a fast? If what you told me was your camping experience, then you haven't really fasted. You can't just go without food and expect to gain any benefits from the experience. You have to utilise your time on self reflection and meditation. That is the point of it. Depriving yourself is supposed to open your consciousness to channels in your mind that are blocked or ignored. There are a thousand different philosophies on what fasting is and what it can do for you but nearly all of them have active participation in the fast as a prerequisite.
