Is Fasting Good or Bad?

 

Question:     Is fasting good or bad?

 

Answer:       There are some good things about fasting as long as it does not go too far too fast. I would say that a person should change his diet every so often, for it tends to perk up the body’s whole system. Sometimes, it helps for people to merely stop eating meat for a little while. If you fast to a great extent, you can put your body into a passive state which tends to open you to influence by other entities. If you fast beyond a certain point, you can put yourself into a hallucinatory state. You can hallucinate even quicker if you deprive yourself of water for two days, and many people have deluded themselves that they were seeing visions from beyond this plane. I am not talking about dieting now, I am talking about fasting whereby your intake is far below what you need for normal metabolic maintenance. People often deprive themselves of food that they would normally like to have for a certain length of time, such as for Lent, and it gives them a feeling of strength of will and an ability to discipline themselves.
