You might ask, “why would the spirit need curing? Is it not immortal”?
1
-
The scriptures say, “man is made in the image of God”. That is, the
true “man” (the spirit or soul) is of the same essence as God --- immortal,
and Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. However, in the process of
“involving” (incarnating) its true nature becomes hidden in a web of bodies
--- the mental, astral and physical vehicles that one way or another separate
man from consciousness of his divinity--- that is, until he learns how to
reveal God inside.
All the great sages – Christ, Mohammad, the Buddha, Krishna, Moses,
Confucius, Lao Tzu, etc. – agree that the Lord’s purpose for man is to
discover how his spirit may find its way back home; how it may come into
the conscious realization of its true nature, which is divine. From this point
of view, all “sickness” is ultimately an extension of lack of knowledge of
self--- lack of knowledge of man’s true purpose, which is to ferry his spirit
back to the Lord and become a fully awakened Godman or women, while
still in this physical body.
For this reason, the ancient sages have always said that man is the
“crown of creation”. To have this physical body is truly a gift. No other
beings of the 8.4 million species on earth have the grand opportunity that
we have --- to become self-conscious God-men/women. Therefore, the
prime purpose of this physical body (“temple”) is to house the spirit which
ultimately is destined to become a conscious co-worker with God. This is
the prime reason to clean out this physical body, so that it becomes
a fit vehicle through which to take the journey back home. The
question is, how does fasting help cure the soul?

God (the ‘ocean’) sends the Holy spirit made flesh (the ‘river’) to carry the soul (or ‘drop’) back to the ocean.

However, during the fast, the body automatically diverts energy - that
normally is expended in eating, digesting and eliminating the byproducts of
eating –to organs and systems that need healing. The organism undergoes
a process called “autolosis”. The body feeds off its own poisons, many
of which are trapped in reserves of fatty waste tissues (which most of us,
even the skinny, have plenty of.)
The truest sign to stop fasting is when the tongue clears. You will
notice that during the fast the tongue is very coated with thick mucous.

When you are truly clean, the tongue clears. Then it’s time to stop the
fast, because if you don’t, the body would feed off its own vital organs.
However, not to worry. Very few of us ever get to the point that our
tongues would clear. We stop the fast because there is a time and place for
everything. Spring-cleaning can’t go on forever. We do it in increments.
But what if the withdrawal is too uncomfortable? What do we do?
By the way, those who treat people with life threatening diseases like
AIDs, cancer, etc. have learned that the thrivers and survivors of these
dis-eases usually have something in common: they make a spiritual
connection. They treat the disease as an opportunity, not a death
sentence. Know anybody in that category?
2. “Drink” plenty of pure water, sunshine, air and rest. Since the
vital elements in these “foods” sustain life, they also direct and enhance
the healing process, if we imbibe them. Physical “foods” which harness

these elixirs are pure vegetable and fruit juices, medicinal herbs, yoga,
tai chi and limited physical exercise. Literally, you want to flush the
toxins out of the system and take in more prana (chi or energy) which is
used to keep the vital organs (especially the ones responsible for
elimination) functioning properly.
A) During the fast, for every three days take at least one enema and
preferably a colonic irrigation (more about that at some other
time); also, get one massage, Accupressure or Reflexology
treatment. They greatly increase the efficiency of eliminating
toxins and harnessing healing nerve energy.
C) Daily Hot and cold shower, after dry-skin brushing. The hot
water drives the blood toward the heart and it rebounds. The cold
water brings the blood to the skin surface and it rebounds. The
resultant oscillating effect speeds up the blood flow and thus
both the elimination of toxins and delivery of vital nutrients
(from the medicinal herbs) to the cells. (Hot/cold/hot is the
sequence of the water).

wrap up warmly. The salt draws the toxins out of the body. (The
skin is the body’s largest organ of elimination).
The foregoing elements are vital for any fast, no matter what kind,
because it helps to prevent you from succumbing to the side effects or
withdrawal symptoms of the fast, and makes the fast go very smoothly.
During the fast avoid the following: sugar, salt, oils, protein, caffeine,
nicotine, meat, anti-perspirants heavy cleaning products, sex, TV, tap water,
pasteurized fruit juices, sodas-----i.e., any food or activity that tends to
enervate or waste precious energy. In your effort to research various
approaches to fasting, I tried to feed you some elements that you don’t
always find in even the best of books. It is for you to incorporate these
ideas as you see fit, or not. ####

**Notice the tilt of the earth on its axis. During the June Solstice, as
the earth spins on its axis; in the northern hemisphere it is exposed to more
sunlight.
2. AUTUMNAL EQUINOX: The first day of fall I12 hours of day and night in
the northern hemisphere temperate zone. It is the day that the Sun
enters the sign Libra. It is a time when the seed sown at the summer
solstice either lives and grows, or the ‘egg’ that it failed to impregnate
begins to dissolve.

-
a. The seeds that have impregnated the spirit at the summer solstice
now manifest within as divine revelation – a gift of insight within
one’s being – the true gift of ‘Christmas”. Seeds sown at the
summer Solstice that have conceived or formed an ‘embryo’
signaling the coming birth of the fruits at the Vernal equinox
b. For the inner seed thought ‘eggs’ that have not been fertilized, the
winter Solstice serves as a sort of the ‘menstrual cycle’ portion of
the earth’s orbit around the sun. It is analogous to the lunar cycle
“full moon” when the sun and the moon are in opposite signs. It ,
too, is deemed an excellent time to fast or clean out the
body/’womb’ to facilitate expulsion of unfertilized seed thoughts.
4. VERNAL EQUINOX: The first day of spring. There are 12 hours of day and
12 hours of night in the northern hemisphere. It is the day when the sun
enters the sign Aries – a time of the sprouting seed thought which was
sown 9 months earlier when it fertilized the ‘egg’ or spirit leading to the
birth or manifestation of the seed thought..
The spirit of the “human” is the eternal, immortal part of his being
which expresses itself through a series of temporal or mortal bodies --- the
mental, astral, physical and etheric bodies. The time of the year, in relation
to the positions of the planets, has an effect on the bodies of man as the
spirit manifests in the world. From time immemorial, man has striven to live
in tune with the cycles of life, in order to enhance his growth and
development and existence on earth.

Conclusion
NOTE: You may notice that at the change of the seasons, animals
change their coats, plant life changes its flowering capacity, and many
people catch colds as the mind/body complex automatically cleans itself in
preparation for the next cycle.
Therefore, THE CARDINAL POINTS OF THE YEAR, MONTH AND DAY ARE
EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU TO FAST AND CLEAN YOUR SELF OUT.
