Fasting Fast, Fasting for Fasting, or Fasting for Enlightenment

---

Fasting, not fascists.

Fasting, what the hell is it?

Is it just some monks going diet mode in their foyer or cell?

Is it the martyrs committing their lives to what could be a stunt of will and determination?

Or maybe it's the matter of extremities that transcend between the boundaries of life and death?

It is a pretty epic thing!

So only the ascetic order have this privilege? Or duty of honour?

I'm sure that fasting is an option for people.
Oh, how it is ironic that we separate ourselves from the bonds of physical needs!
What are we trying to achieve from fasting?
It could be the metabolic process, to completely digest food, or we throw up.
Fasting could be a training tool, it is the fucking real world!
Or rather, it is a spiritual journey in self-discovery, or enlightenment.

All types of people fast.
It could be some homeless beggar, looking to gripe at his hunger, his ailment.
It could be some residential occupant in subsistence, looking for the right balance day by day.
It could also be some rich ass person, he needs to get hold of his abundance and learns the pain of loss.
Hell, it could be a porno star! She fasts to get to commit into the arts!
Nomads too fast, where this practice take them, nobody, or at least, no person, would know.

Yet, people around the world call out in want, in need.
Yet, they did not fast. They did not share the truth that lies in famine.
Every second passes by, possibly a unit of time closer to death.
Is fasting a test? We'll see, we'll see.

very interesting poem, to discuss;

While fasting can be used medically, such as to clean out your bowels kidneys and liver etc. if you drink water the whole time. for the rest of it, fasting is not necessarily medically helpful.

Fasting causes changes in our lives, some of it is self-realization. it makes you reconsider what is important and desired.

but the main point of fasting and the thing that causes the most change is that God loves all people and hates to see them in pain needlessly. So God will likely help someone who fasts. bad luck turns around and all that. but it depends on the person and the reasons for fasting. so if a dick fasts and begs for dickish things God may feel his suffering is warranted. in addition God is jealous, so if a buddhist monk fasts and prays to idols well ">X<" that symbol appears over to top corner of God's face if he were drawn in anime style. he gets irked, ticked off. but when God gets irked and ticked off, out of his mercy he usually doesn't attack people, instead he ignores them.

When God ignores you everything in life is left up to the hands of man to help you, and generally mankind in society are dicks. Now sometimes God orchestrates a punishment too. like making those dicks of society take notice of you and focus their dickishness on you. Also without God's help people typically get sick and shit, because the Devil goes to heaven and says "hey God, can I mess with that buddhist monk?" and God's like "Ah!, don't even say their name to me! do what you want they are nothing of mine." and so they get cancer or bone marrow failure or kidney failure or liver failure or ulcers in their intestines, you know the devil's playthings and all. probably add in some diabetes and maybe some genetic disorder, or leprosy, covid, the black death some sort of plague..

so fasting and praying is important but you gotta pray to the right being and for decent reasons which are not against his desires. then fasting is the most beneficial to your life.

Fasting for knowledge, God gives knowledge freely. so it's likely to work. fasting for spiritual understanding thus will also work but sometimes people cloud their minds, fasting helps clear your mind so you can hear what God wants to say, but he might make you wait for a bit depending on what he thinks of you.

Fasting is meant to put you in between life and death, to make your able to recognize your soul from your flesh. but if you do not focus on God or do not pray to God, do remember, there are angels and devils out there in the spiritual realm. don't want to attract the wrong ones eh.

What interests me the most about fasting is that it's usually held in religious regard for the said holy or wise men. Of course, there are charlatans, they would say a lot of things!

Fasting, at least in cultural aspects, seem to be of some supernatural/preternatural trait. It's like some dream vision thing of the shamans. Of course, I do appreciate foretold prophecies/divination, no matter how small compared to the world.
The other thing is that it is supposed to attuned to walk the path between life and death? Is it like some old hearsay of near séance/half-life/immortality? I suppose it could be a training simulation almost forgotten.
