timbo,

I know how you feel, I survive on amrit myself (called organic milk) when i fast. it is acceptable to eat milk honey and vinegar when fasting, for me and many others. This was tradition in the First Temple of Israel, and is the manner in which the Essenes fasted.

The great thing is that i broke fast with eggs and later tandoori chicken, indian spiced chicken stew. I have not had it in about two years... and it was delightful!

Actually, god is not at the center of the xyz axis. That is where the Cross is according to the premise of Sacred Mathematics. The Cross is not the the Throne. God is omnipresent on all three axis, for God is the essence of presence.

Thank you adiriel (why I you called 'RAUM'?) for understanding my current state. :tur:

That makes sense about God. Why would He be at the centre, when really He is the whole thing?


About fasting- I can't eat dairy when fasting, so milk was out of the question. My grandmother had a fit when I said I drank milk on Holy Wednesday. No animal products, no oil, whatsoever.

For some reason though, prawns are allowed to be eaten during Easter fasting? (but I had no money to buy them)


To be honest, I went a bit overkill with the fasting because, I didn't fast for a full week, let alone 40 days. My mother said it was okay for me to cook pork spare ribs on Tuesday, and there were still more left over on Wednesday. So after then I fasted very heavily to kind of make up for it, make a real sacrifice. And you can guess I got a little disoriented when I came here after fasting then eating alot of food, as well as having my metabolism all twisted up (and, ummm, bowel trouble........... :cough: ).

Also it was affected because I haven't been eating properly for the last few weeks. I've been sitting at home waiting for my new job to get started up- and living off money saved up (therefore not going anywhere). My sleep got out of whack, and I missed meals, only eating dinner once a day, maybe a milkshake too. Then I started to get back to it again, then started fasting.

raum is the german word for "space" I chose it along time ago, and it was my main name at my previously hosted DSL in california. all my email poured into [email protected]. Ayhja (who has more names than anyone, perhaps) met me under that name, and even though I don't have the account I still use it.

there are a lot of reasons beyond this, but that is the most qualified answer for what you were asking.
