Re: water fasting advice - how do you stick to your fast?

God says that we are to be in control of our OWN minds. Hypnotism gives someone else control and allows an opportunity for unknown spirits to toy around as well.

If God said that, why don't you use your own mind. The Bible was written by men such as yourself that put their pants on one leg at a time just like you do. It has been translated many times by different people throughout time to get to what you read today.

(Self) Hypnosis is done by the individual. You don't need me to take you through the induction process, there are many books on the subject. You can teach youself. My offer to make an audio file to get people started was not to control their minds, but to get them started, since many have problems staying on the fast for the amount of time they had planned. After they get the hang of it, they are on there own, and are able to do the induction on their own.

In addition to that, it wasn't meant to be compulsory. Those that wanted to partake were welcome.

I don't mean this in a derogatory sense, or to belittle you, but if anybody has someone else controlling their mind it is you. Nobody should shut their minds down to other possibilities. If you have to live by the words in a book to know what's right or wrong, then I have pity for you.

All that said, the audio file I was planning will have to be put on the back burner as my computer recording application sucks. I will have to get another, or a recording device.

Seriously, you really don't need me, although it would have been my pleasure to help. Read some books, peruse the internet on the subject. It does work, I know, I have been fasting since the 60's and have done many fasts. Self hypnosis was a part of them.
