Today I am fasting, so my consciousness is dominated by a certain lightness of head and body. I am beginning to understand how fasting became a near-universal religious practice, because. As the early Christians might have said, it " casts out demons" so that I feel much more self-aware and in control of myself. In addition, time seems to pass much more slowly than it ordinarily does. It is as if I am given the opportunity to "get around to" so many trivial tasks that I normally avoid or overlook and to see their deeper meaning. Also, a heightening of senses, which for me are quite acute to begin with. What do others experience?
