Yossarian, I apologize, I seem to have totally dropped the ball there. I can't make anything of what I said. And I have missed very essential parts of your words. I think I should have gone to bed instead of hit that post button...
@Wintersun, we had a family friend who ate one cracker with a slice of cheese per day, and a few spoons of vegetables in the evening. She did cleaning work and was very thin but also very healthy. She had no spiritual aspirations other than going to church on sundays, she just did not like to eat.
I will check out Joachims book. I still like the idea, intuitively it completely resonates, but last time I checked I could not bridge it to reality.
I did one "Jump" to see what would happen. After 3 days without food I wasn't grumpy or weak, but I felt like I was living in a fog. I broke off the experiment because a friend needed someone to carry his furniture up 4 flights of stairs and I had this idea that even if I was not fainting now I should probably not push it. Apart from the second day hunger the experience wasn't very difficult I didn't like the fog though.
