@celestialbe1ng Every ancient tradition, religion, and prophets, monks practiced fasting for thousands of years. Cures sicknesses, mental strength, kills parasites, removes cravings of vices. Spiritual it deepens connection with God and some demons just leave by fasting and prayer.
When you want to become a new person, you must be willing to kill yourself and commit seppuku like a samurai.
You must be willing to die to your present self.
Reborn.
Everything is energy and that's all there is to it.
You are realising that you and the so-called reality you want are not two separate things.
You do not “get” the reality. You express it.
@MrOverprayed prayer is talking to god.
silent prayer(meditation) is listening to god.
Saying phrases is not difficult but looking inside and facing your own darkness is difficult, you are facing your own demons you created and we all have a dark side.
Are you afraid of yourself?
