"One memory that stands out vividly is on day 6 I was moving in slow-motion, and everyone else was fast-forward."
I love that description, WY, and if you can keep fasting a few more days than 6, just a few more...you will hear and see people and feel like an outsider, yet able to feel and reason. What will you feel? How powerful and independent you are? What will you think? You will see all things, people and problems in your life how they are, just how they are..justly. A bigger understanding of them all will take you by assault, and your ability to handle your life situations will greatly improve...since you will not feel -in your life affairs- like a little child lost in the forest, not anymore. Fasting is empowering. And that is why the establishment and the powers that be don't want people to realize its benefits.
