Change of existence - analogy with fasting

10/06/2004

When they become conscious of their weaknesses or failings, some people decide to change their lives. But, for many, this decision resembles the decision to fast: at first they feel very sick. Those who have never before fasted for twenty-four hours experience palpitations, headaches, cramps and vertigo. So what should they do about it? Give up? During a fast the organism feels a little freer and decides to declare war on all the impurities accumulated over a long period of time, and this cannot take place without certain discomforts. But these discomforts soon give way to a feeling of peace and well-being that is gradually reflected in its physical and psychic health. It is the same for those who have decided to change their lives: they enter a world of vibrations and currents which are purer and more intense than they are used to, and at first they may feel distressed. But if they are patient, if they persevere, they will experience the purification, the illumination and the increase in clarity that will take place within them.
