“The original function of ritual fasting was spiritual (psychic) purification; through fasting one prepares oneself for communion with God… In effect, it is a means of cleansing the conscious domain by ridding it of the interference of the conscious ego. Through fasting or prayer, one becomes more receptive to the voices within.”
Fred Gustafson, The Black Madonna
“Nothing in all creation is so like God as silence.”
— Meister Eckhart
