Fasting - one path to experiencing true Love and BEING in a
perpetual state?

(I have decided to re-open the topic, in order to provide an
accurate account of my previous experience with fasting. Later
on, I will provide a new account of how fasting for the second
time has affected my perception.)
Have others here attempted it before?
Months ago, I fasted on water for four days in a row. While
initially uncomfortable, the results were, in a way,
indescribable. I have been informed by a reliable source that
fasting for longer periods is not helpful today as it was in the
past, when extended periods of water fasting seem to have been a
common practice. It may be harmful now due to the presence of
harsh toxins and metals inside of our bodies; nonetheless, a 4
day-long water fast was very beneficial in my individual case.
For the sake of understanding, I will attempt to describe my
experience using as few ‘New Age’ terms as possible.
First of all, without food to keep my consciousness bound to
material existence (in other words, without being bound mentally
to the cycle of hunger), I felt my vibrational frequency rise in
a short period of time. In essence, my perception was able to
rise effortlessly above the trappings of society, which are
commonly taken for granted. This allowed me to perceive what I
now sense to be true love as a state of perpetual, internal
being, as opposed to the widely accepted notion of love as an
achievement to be earned only by the successful mating of two
individuals with a lot of stuff in common to talk about.
For as long as I avoided toxic substances and selfish,
hedonistic thoughts after my fast was broken, life was beautiful
beyond my capability to express in words. Colours became rich,
vibrant, and I felt an attraction to others, which was based
purely on a perpetual state of love, instead of being based on
my learned expectations of them forged from past experiences.
Even so-called enemies, a few of which I thought I had earned,
became as dear to my heart as would a cherished companion. There
were times when I nearly burst out in tears because of the
temptation to snuggle up close to a friend who is called
Anna-Marie by the majority of people, and whom is called Miki by
a small group of others; times wherein I was tempted to express
every loving sentiment, which had been trapped inside of my
heart until that point, out loud. Touch was no longer about
gratification of the senses, and instead became a marvelous,
tingling sensation throughout my extremities, which I can only
think to compare favourably against my past experience on the
empathy drug called MDMA or ‘Ecstasy’, of which I have used
three times in the past as a teenager before ceasing its use
altogether because of the inherent risks involved.
I am currently fasting again in order to rekindle this state of
true BEING, which had become lost within a week due to a lack of
deep understanding of the nature of my experience. Furthermore,
I sense now that lessons of the spirit are paramount to
solidifying this state of true, perpetual love and BEING within
the consciousness. Gratification in any shape or form appears to
be incompatible with this state of being, which may sound harsh;
however, I sense that the experience of warm, loving connection
to others is much sweeter, and infinitely more satisfying on a
conscious level, than any sugary doughnut or kinky sex act can
ever aspire to be.. It is more evocative than the most
enchanting melody; more beautiful than the most finely carved
sculpture; more savory than any expertly prepared food using the
finest of ingredients... I sense that a mother who has held her
recently born child can understand exactly what I am talking
about because I sense that the two states of being are one in
the same.
Without knowledge or deep understanding of my experience, I soon
began to snack excessively on sweets in order to satisfy my old
sweet tooth. Shortly afterward, the feeling of true love faded
away. I suspect that this was a result of my consciousness
becoming selfish and hedonistic again, as is so commonly
promoted by every facet of our consumerist society... as is so
paramount to remaining "trapped in the Matrix", perhaps?
Perhaps it is something to reflect upon...

I have some experience with fasting.
IMO, longer-term fasting (consecutive days) is difficult, but
also highly effective at cleansing the body, eliminating food
and other minor addictions, balancing hormonal and metabolism
function, as well as shedding excess body mass. There is also
the spiritual aspect of being free of all things materialistic,
as Tyler described. However, too much fasting can weaken and
damage the body, especially in the form of muscle loss. Not to
mention how it can make it difficult to function at work,
school, etc. I believe long term fasting can also be difficult
on body organs. IMO, long-term fasts should only be done
occasionally (perhaps every few months), and even then for no
more than a few days.
Short term (intermittent) fasting (IF) I have found to be very
beneficial. My protocol is to fast until early evening (4-6
pm), exercise (usually weight lifting), then, when hunger occurs
(usually an hour or so after exercise), eat as much real food as
I'd like over a few hours. This amounts to a daily fast of
16-20 hours. I don't exercise everyday, in which case I merely
break the fast around 4-6 pm. This doesn't have to be done
everyday, and there is no rigid eating schedule that needs to be
followed.
In this manner, you still get the benefits of fasting without
depriving your body. This can also get you in tremendous
physical shape (while in the fast you burn body fat, whereas
eating after lifting builds muscle - see "Leangains").
Eating real food is also very important (Paleo is, IMO, the best
diet). Fasting can be tremendously helpful as a bridge to a
healthier lifestyle. As Tyler described, the benefits of
fasting can be quickly lost if one falls back into bad habits.
