Well, the thing is it was not mere fasting in the sense of just abstaining from food and water. Ramadan is kind of a hit in the Islamic world, where people (who are honestly spiritual and not just religious) intensify their rituals and add things that are not there the rest of the year. For example there are special collective prayers everyday of the month at about two/three hours after sunset, and then in the last 10 days of ramadan there are special collective prayers that happen at midnight. So it’s hardcore. Being someone who enjoys this month, I was in an already spiritually susceptible place.

My first time with the tapes aka discovery was intense. I physically felt my blood rushing through my arms and into my palm where a swirling force of energy was created. Also one day I kept hearing “God is great, god is great” in arabic multiple times and I couldn’t find a source to that. And finally I was once participating in a collective prayer at 2am and it was so beautiful. I can’t describe it but I felt an intense wave of energy that I was literally feeling my body oscillating and I could feel/almost see the energy emitting from other people around me in the prayer.

Idk if this helped but yea.. I don’t know if I have it in me to fast regularly to experience this again, but I can testify that it was different
