Yes, certainly does play into self discipline, but discipline with force to forge a will of iron isnt necessarily good, stubborness has it's downsides too... Wouldnt cultivate stubborness, hence I will always come back to arguing on the merit of what is reasonable.
Fasting is a good way to get control over the sin of gluttony, No fap is just as important to control the sins of lust, also a big supporter of no fapping.
But above all.. Know Thyself.
Yeah, people tend to know others better than themselves, and so want to make themselves like the others... such a shame really that they are so insecure about their own existence
A regular fasting routine will cause your anabolic growth hormones to start kicking and make you feel like a 12 year old boy all over again aahaha. Yup, I said it. If you stop eating, you start growing. And incidentally, now you know where Goliath the giant from the Bible came from. http://liveanabolic.com/why-men-are-anabolic-fasting-for-mass/
Because you are growing, you will also start healing old as well as current injuries. My 15 tear-old back-pain is gone. And after 45 years, I threw away my Asthma inhaler. I use no medication whatsoever.
The thing that always gets me with the nay sayers are that they arent willing to actually try things... they accpet these complete opposite extremes, if it is not one extreme, it must be the other extreme, not trying to reconcile the extremes and find the balance.
It is my belief that the death en resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Bible is a metaphor for a three day fast. Like the article suggests, your old immune dies and a new one is born after three days. So from that old knowledge I gather that we should be fasting over Easter - so at least one three day fast a year for all adults, and as needed during the rest of the year. Someone knew this, and I hope to bring as much of the old knowledge back as I can. It's all there. You just need to have an very very open mind.
Yeah after learning about ketosis and how it rhymes with the whole ressurection idea, i got intrigued by it.
I recently did a 10 day fast, but not for religious reasons, but rather as a kind of a detox.
It was a hard fast however, as no food is allowed at all, not even after sundown.
But I gotta tell you, I feel so much better
Doesnt have to be motivated by religion, but you can attest to the fact that it has a profound experience on you though... that is the point. We are conditioned into the 3 meal day habbit, which ought to make us question what it does for us
I do however agree with you that it is good to fast for religious reasons. As a Christian myself, I can see tremendous the value in it.
Hi @TruthCanary , wow I've never done that long. It's rarely necessary to go that long I think. But yes that is proper fasting - no carbs at all. In the beginning I had coffee with creamer, don't do the cremora anymore though but I still drink one or two cups of filter coffee in the morning even if I am fasting. It is a small but important comfort, especially in the beginning when you are learning.
I wouldnt go to the extents of proclaiming breatharianism though lol
I still struggle to take this very seriously lol
@Sheamus It is said that the path to a mans heart is through his stomach. Truer words have never been spoken... but some have been left out. Yes the path to a mans heart is through his stomach, but not if you put food in it. The food blocks-off your Source connection because your body has to produce acid to digest the food. When the lead-acid battery in your car goes flat, it's because all the Alkalinity has been used up and it is now in an acidic state. Same goes for the human body - if your body (which is an alkaline battery - remember I said electric universe) is flat, you start getting sick. And you re-charge by not eating and getting plenty of sun. Your body has a pH level just like a car battery or your swimming pool.
@Deejay from Earth Yeah it was not easy. The first 2 days were accompanied by migranes, but after that it became easier somehow. On the 8th and 9th day however, I couldn't stop thinking about some lekker braaivleis. During the 10 days, the only liquids that I drank, was either water, or lemon juice, infused with a mixture of Maple Syrup and cayenne pepper
Btw, for all the Christians in this group, I hope you are following this guy
I have seen some of his vids, kinda enjoy praying medic and SGT report from that community though
@TruthCanary Can I tell you a secret... if you are struggling to fast, get rid of as much clutter in your house as you can. It frees up space in your mind to think of spiritual things. We do not get possessed by Demons - we are possessed by our own possessions. Your mind remembers and counts and quantifies EVERYTHING in your life. You know how good you feel after spring cleaning the house or the garage? This thing with materialism and not having possessions and stuff... is entirely physiological. Trust me, get rid of your shit, it makes a difference. And the less you have, the more what you have now means to you. Which makes it even more difficult to throw stuff away.
Less is indeed more... The more we desire, the less we have.
@TruthCanary Yep ask the flat earth community, it happens to them all the time. Simply gets deleted off the internet.
It's Time for Flat Earth 101, Lesson One.
This one is self-explanatory. Look around you, do you observe any curvature anywhere? We don't know how much curvature there is supposed to be, all we're taught in school is that it's is so big that the size of the sphere of the earth makes it look flat as a pancake in all directions. Right. Got that. Thanks. Pffft. There's lots and lots of missing curvature that no one seems to be able to find in order to make me shut the hell up! 😃
This is how much missing curvature there is. People can argue about the curvature formula all they want... good luck arguing with AutoCAD measurements.
So if we can't see the curvature of the earth because the Earth is so big, how can we see ships disappear over the horizon? hmmmm. 😉

"Im done arguing ovef flat earth"
*continues to argue over flat earth*
Like mate there are thousands of photos of the earth. There is not one of the flat earth in its entirety. Youre basing everything off "lookda horizon" and "look dis antiquated map"
I did not attend bible studies, have numerous talks with my pastor, and many voluntary weekday mass attendance, just to have some bible thumper try to provoke our minds with the essence of a flat earth. God did not create us humans via intelligent design, granting us the capability to challenge ideas, to waste iton emotion as such with the idea of a flat earth
Gr1m the good goy
Race is just a conspiracy made up by racists into believing in multiple races
@Rendier maybe has too much soy in his diet
