Re: fasting: first day

InCharge,
Thanks for your message and for your kind words about my character. Really helps. It helps to have positive ideas about the fast, too, doesn't it. To just make positive statements to your mind ... that this is worth it, etc. honestly I really cannot, as many people cannot, really apply positive thinking to any great extent, because, though you may not understand, positive thinking is just not accessile to some people. if everyone could do it we would have no crime or suffering in the world. People really do have legitimate limitations and I am one of those people (limited by depression) ... it is NOT something I can just think away. And it does harm when people invalidate this saying "oh, nothing is wrong with you. you can do it.... when I really cannot..... But I can to some extent practice pos. thinking, so thanks. Also I have hope for healing thru fasting cause Dr. Allan Cott MD fasted and cured so many schizophrenic patients in early 1970s... 30 day fasts that always helped greatly if did not perfectly cure.
