Fasting: The Real Story

hello everyone peace be with all of you this is michael murdad here and it's our presentation friday night spiritual insights with michael murdad so thank you for joining us this is what we're going to talk about today fasting what does it mean now i'm not giving you a webster's dictionary recital of what they say fasting is um i'm giving you a deeper spiritual interpretation so for starters uh there's an interesting one of the most in a way um odd statements out of all the things that most people don't understand of

jesus's comments one of them is where his apostles go out and they're succeeding at healing and doing all kinds of things it's amazing in the name of christ consciousness but they say to him we had one challenge casting out demons was a bit of a challenge and his reply to them as some of you would know that's going to take more fasting why is it because demons run from people who haven't eaten in a while right let me think about it you know oh there's somebody with an empty stomach let's flee from this person it's not

about literal fasting what he's secretly saying is when oh god this is just so cool but when you when you fast it's not food alone first of all you can fast from ego fast from television fast from the news fast from newspapers fast from smoking drinking whatever you can abstain from these things but what he's partly saying in the sense the deepest part of what he's saying is when you fast when you say okay this week no alcohol no drugs no whatever you know even food when you abstain it starts bringing up your issues for

you to work on and clear so we'll retranslate jesus's statement in just a moment i'm going to fast from food let's say alcohol let's say and as i do it starts to bring up like agitation impatience exhaustion whatever it is why because that stuff was there all the time and your food your drink your you know drug that was always distracting you from what was already sitting inside of you so technically when you abstain or fast you're starving out those feelings you're starving them to come outwards

you know and so in a way there's a great story in in the essene gospel of peace book one there's four volumes and they're just little 50 to 100 page books but the same gospel of peace great story but i'm paraphrasing jesus walks into this town of people that are trying to live a spiritual life you know i mean some of them are just mundane people but either you know a bit of a community he walks in and they they recognize his light and they say to him there's one of us that's very very sick and he's losing

weight we don't know why but he's he hasn't been eating and even when he eats it's it doesn't affect me he just continues to shrivel up lose weight jesus says bring the man here in the meantime bring me some milk as well they bring him some milk he pours it on the hot desert ground and then it starts kind of uh um fuming in the heat of the sun the milk starts fuming and uh you know you can just tell it starts to to um curdle or whatever you know and they bring the man out and they say flip him upside down and hold him up

off the ground over the milk with his face over the milk for you know a few minutes or whatever the man's body starts to convulse and convulse and convulse and then this large worm tapeworm comes out of his body through his throat out his mouth where jesus then extracts the worm and explains this was in his body it's a it's a symbol of like evil it's in other words it's a it's an illness a dark part of the guy and it was living in his being and he was devouring all the food he would ingest so nothing

went and added to his nutrients or his weight for that matter so all that point being that story the point of that story being is is that he he was showing you that your your stuff will come out when you starve it when it's secret and it's hidden inside and you get to get away with it being hidden from you and you don't want other people's people to know about that thing in you yeah you know you can get away with that for a long time starve it and it starts to react and that is an important thing when it comes to

seeing ourselves so what jesus is really saying and i'm prepared for i'm trying re-translating now for you to cast out those demons you need to abstain from food for a while because demons hate empty stomachs no re-translated for you to cast out demons because they're very sinister they can read you they know what's going on they can mess with you for you to cast out a highly intelligent being known as a demon that knows how to use your stuff against you you have to starve your stuff out you have to get past your own ego nature

so that you're at a higher vibration so that you can make that command when you try to make that command to a being that can read you and it knows you're weak you can't even go an hour without a tootsie roll man so it doesn't buy into it or whatever your thing would be you know so no it's it's really amazing because what he's saying is you have to be a higher vibrational being so by me not eating for 24 hours or for 40 days 40 nights that makes me higher vibration no you're missing the point

again it's that you're starving out your ego so he's saying only ego less now not completely egoless but what he's saying is only those with less of an ego controlling them can speak so affirmatively and commandingly to a being that is a very very sinister and you know malevolent malicious being so you have to be of a higher caliber vibration consciousness and uh his point to you know to fasting is just that when you fast there's there's uh channelings of mother mary very beautiful authentic challenge

channelings there's channelings of mother mary where she said um to the children in medjugorje for example um every so often fast for a day she would sometimes say a wee every week or month fast for a day only on dark breads so that rules out wonder bread um fast only on dark breads because their high fiber and nutrient content will help cleanse the body edgar cayce you know he had his famous one or two days of apples only um i think he preferred the roman variety in case you're interested more so not green apples but more like

the other um then there was edgar cayce's grape fast grapes only and then there's people that do juiced fat juice fasts and so forth you know but you got to be honest with yourself guys if you're going to do a fast you can't go i think i'm going to do five gallons of 16 different fruits in a smoothie with a couple scoops of ice cream you know every day i mean that's just having dessert several times a day you're trying to to use what sustains you and or cleanses you or both so nutritious breads maybe but then if

you're also wanting to experience less density of food then maybe without it you know so think about this think about what what i might do to fast and don't think just foodless make a commitment even if you don't join our group experience this weekend make a commitment sometime you know go one day if you can you know seven o'clock in the evening until seven o'clock the next day one day or whatever you can no it doesn't count to say i'm going to fast from 12 midnight till 6 a.m when you're

sleeping but when you fast consider pushing away not just food and drink plenty of water because that's part of the cleanse right for anybody and some people do liver fast which which is nice cold you know purified water with some lemon juice and some cayenne and some maple syrup that's a pretty cool uh i like the taste of that actually i've done that several times i thought it was delicious um it's kind of cool because you taste the maple water basically oh that tastes kind of good then you stop

and all of a sudden there's this the cayenne kind of goes whoa you know you'd notice it a little bit it you know it's not overwhelming but p some people do that but push away and say i'm gonna commit not only to not engorging you know myself with food but i think i'm going to stay away from the news today and that's why we chose a weekend even though weekends are like oh i want to go out and party or do whatever it's easier for you to fast on a weekend and have privacy and prayer and meditation than it is

when you're at work so even though for some it'll seem challenging to me it's favorable but yeah uh no news no news today for me um and i think i'll abstain from talking to a certain person or two that's a little too intense and argumentative i think i'll stay away from that stuff today um i think i'll stay away from the newspaper um you know things like that um but but i call it a devotional weekend because it means i'm committing myself to god this weekend i really want to tie in my relationship

with god a bit more now i would say call it god talk to the father call on the divine mother the holy spirit call on jesus i don't recommend lesser than that not even angels although if you have to do angels fine if that's all you can believe in to talk to you know you can also raise your confidence just talking to god directly it's your creator you know talk to the mother the father god um but i wouldn't you know just i'm going to spend the weekend fasting and talking to my dead mother that's

guys go to god yeah your mother's part of god but go to god the part of consciousness and universal consciousness that remembers everything about who we are your deceased relatives don't necessarily have a full clear picture of how everything works and i'm talking everything so consider it now it might be too much for you to say okay let's see he said you know there's the emptying the cup and they're refilling the cup the emptying is the fasting the refilling is the prayer meditation so for the emptying my cup i think

michael's saying try not to do food no sex no certain phone calls no news no beer seriously no smoking and it's like well what am i going to do i have nothing left to do all day yeah it's going to be challenging then you're going to be like biting your nails and pacing and you're going to be agitated maybe but what you're seeing is this you're seeing a reaction chemical withdrawals and so yeah true but you're also seeing what was already there you're already agitated that's why you're agitated

after you push away your addictions because you're already agitated but you're numbing it with food or whatever so say no to these things and watch yourself and it's man it's okay get a journal i'm telling our crew get a journal write it down grind your teeth you don't do it beat on the pillow this is frustrating i can't do it you don't have to don't make this one of those like old school i'm a bad person if i can't do it and besides you know it's about connecting with god which is a beautiful

experience not a harsh one the harshness is simply that you're starving your ego and that's a good thing to do and it gets ticked off so so be it get ticked off but if you are if you are choosing to fast you know where do you draw the line if you have to supplement a little bit protein drinks are fine you know do you draw the line anywhere else i mean what if you say uh how about four crackers in water when i really feel some i need something okay fine am i allowed to put a little honey on it okay fine how about butter

okay now it's starting to turn into dessert can i how about maple syrup at some point you gotta draw the line and say you know what never mind four crackers what swish it down with some water i got a little something you know that's all right saltines or whatever you know the white crackers or any kind of cracker wheat crackers whatever just be careful not to get out of control and start adding more and more because that's the ego's technique to always push you further than you really should go into

you know ego based kinds of things so think ye about it some spiritual music you know make make it a weekend of sanctuary wow you know new age or spiritual music wow you know and i thank god i think i think i'll do this for several hours and then i'll sleep what about when you're sleeping maybe you leave your computer on because it's a zoom program what if you leave your computer on in every hour hey it's me um you'll subconsciously hear me talking and it'll kind of just soak in or shut

it off make sure you get your sleep and not you know not hear it if you don't want to during your sleep time especially if it could wake you up um and maybe we just uh watch it later you know cool whatever works guys but whether you're awake or not this is going to be beautiful there is going to be a a downloading of more god presence but first we have to let go of what's in the way of that perfect holy experience you know just some stuff out out some people say well you know what i want to do during this time too i want to have a

colonic grade go have a colonic by the way if you ever you do colonics as part of a cleanse consider having if you have a professional person do it colonic machine and all that um i mean that's better it's far more effective it takes like several water enemas to equal one um hydro colonic therapy or water you know hydrotherapy uh colonic machines and so forth um so it's far more effective and efficient to use the other honestly it would take several of again you know uh enemas to equal one colonic so

if you do whether it's yourself or the other person is doing it for you um get the colonic to cleanse as much as possible i would say when you're maybe halfway done with the colonic at least halfway done maybe 60 70 of the way but at least halfway ask them to add into the water um a mixture of baking soda and salt actual salt because that's antiseptic in your body okay so uh if it were me i i don't know i might this is again if it's me i'm just talking for me you figure out what you'd

like to do i personally would do like maybe a half cup of baking soda and like a tablespoon of salt that if it were me so i would put that in the water let that go in try to keep it in there so it's acting it's alkalizing the colon which is often acidic and if your colon is acidic the acids leech into the colon wall and then leech out into the system inside your body into your bloodstream so your blood becomes toxic with acidity which then gets absorbed in your glands then your glands turn acidic and that's

every form of disease especially cancers and inflammations and fatigue and arthritic conditions and so on so the you know once a month or once every six months or some sort of system you can get on to have a colonic it's a good idea but i would do um i would just bring a baggie a ziploc i put like a half a cup baking soda couple tablespoons of salt in there pour it in the water when it's you know uh getting sucked in usually they have a little uh like a special cistern or whatever you want to call it that holds they can hold any and take in

anything you want aside from just direct water so you can use that and it's antiseptic and you you could do that once or twice two servings of that into the colon um but if it's the first time maybe maybe you would do a quarter cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of salt just in case you have lesions or anything inside because you can feel that sting it doesn't it's not terrible but you can feel it so maybe you want to experiment and then when you're done hold it in as long as you can and then

let it wash out and i said like i said i would do it twice if it were me uh two servings of that um by that time when it gets to be about percent of the time a ninety percent of the um colonic is done use something like there's something called glycothymoline okay just like it sounds you can phonetically glycoglyco dash thymoline t-h-y-l-o-m-i-n-e m-o-l-i-n-e i think down to the right glycothymaline it's very alkalizing so was the baking soda but glyco is alkalizing but it's soothing where baking soda is acting

like almost like a cleanser astringent it's powder so it's going to be scrubbing the walls of the colon this is to kind of coat and soothe it also dissolves mucus out of the colon so that's fantastic um so i would do that 90 of the way in and then try to let that stay in for a while as much as possible um you know and you can look that up that's kind of an edgar cayce thing so you could look up some of his recommendations for animals and colonics in the recipes because he agreed with those same kinds of things glycothymoline you

can order online but only whatever feels right for you guys but definitely consider colonics is a part you might not because you're able to do because it's a weekend maybe maybe they're not open it's fine that's fine go get one later in the week whatever if you can um that's just an aside okay it's a great little and a great little aside that i'm sharing because that's sort of a complete picture of dealing with you know colon therapists beautiful stuff you know wonderful for

people there's always one in a million that it doesn't go well doesn't suit them whatever that's fine but just something to think about or another way to say it is it's something i'm addressing because some of you are already asking about it so there's a a great way a more effective way to do it if you can't afford whatever it is 50 bucks or whatever for a colonic you use the end of a bag do it yourself read casey on that because he'll tell you that when you start the colonic you lay

on one side because you want the one side of your colon to get washed clean which would be the you know you have the descending colon then you have the transverse colon then you have the ascending hole and so um you'll be on one side then knees then the other side so you you kind of move you know massage your tummy a little whether it's a colonic or animal massage it to get stuff broken up inside the colon just you know extra additional notes here all right in any case fasting starving you know starve the ego

it's fine and not in hate or hurt but i mean starve it meaning i'm not going to jump into all my compulsions this weekend instead i'm going to jump into my connection with god which is the only thing that matters the only thing that's important and the only thing that truly makes a difference in my life a closer walk with god all right and if you do it on your own beautiful devotional you don't have to even do every hour but if you're doing it on your own maybe you play a little cd music or you

know ipod or whatever you've got some just some beautiful affirmations beautiful inspirational talks or meditations or guided visualizations or whatever you know course in miracles quotes in the background so that while you're sleeping still i am working in a good way you know i'm still on it man and then i wake up and i go and live that through the day and then we at night do it again so you can do this on your own uh we'll just be doing our you know our own version of it if you'd like to join
