Why are you drawn to this material?
Most humans dismiss possibilities such as inedia and enlightenment.

For enlightenment, the majority of humans in modern society believe in reality. Questioning is then first possible when that belief is rejected. I see a few possibilities for how this may happen. For inedia, I'm not clear why people come to question the nature of nourishment. I simply don't feel hunger, and I don't think that is typical. My consciousness teacher denied that inedia was possible and referred to classic physiology. Yes, I'm already familiar with the scienTISM...

Personally, I find consciousness work easy; being conscious is not an experience in form and makes no difference whatsoever. Inedia is hard, though. When I dry-fast, I became WAY TOO SENSITIVE, and I absolutely don't know how to relate to this which is strangely painful. No people talk like this sensitivity is a common problem?

I would like to know if similar problems are reflective of this community at large and what you do about this? Because only about 0% across the board evidently transition to inedia? Never mind if I ever choose to live as inediate for some period, I know I have a disordered relationship to eating.

I guess I want to be partly (Anciently/ontologically) scientific (please check the poll) and partly, I would like to know what effects do you experience from fasting, and how do you relate to it? If disordered eating is actually prevalent in this community, I would like to talk about it, and if someone knows the solution please share

I will describe my experience with fasting in 2017. The longest I dry-fasted was six days twice. During this time, I worked four hours daily with light construction work in 40 °C. I never experienced hunger or physical pain. My muscles weakened, and my mind relaxed. I learned a lot from this. However, the sensitivity KILLS ME, and I'm always kind-of compelled to eat whatever so I feel heavy again.

I am drawn to this material because I want to discover the spiritual side of life, and to develop my mental and spiritual faculties. The subject of Inedia is fascinating to me and it fills a void in my understanding. I think Joachim for writing down this very important material.

I'm with you, hal. I've never suffered any of the disorders listed above... or at least, I refuse to recognise it in myself. Because as I wrote the first part of that sentence I realised I overeat (snacking) whenever I feel anxious.

I enjoyed fasting when I did it, many moons ago. I felt so peaceful, life was just a dream, everything was wonderful... then I knew my parents were coming home so I broke the fast. I have a thread about that, and my (so far) dismal attempt to do it again.

I'd like that calm again, that feeling that anything is possible but nothing is needed. Yes, that's what I want. It irons out all the craziness of modern living. Nothing matters any more.
