Our brother @Christopher Sartain has just created this outstanding new video for us and all interested - to go deeper into the history of fasting, through the lens of ancient cultures that emerged from Yeshua's ministry and the Way. Thank you Chris!!! Note: This video touches on vegetariansim. All are welcome here -- and I personally am not a vegetarian. I'm intrigued by the conversation around "Was Yeshua a vegetarian?", and can find solid reasoning on both sides of this question. I also find Steiner's research about the life of Jesus very intriguing. In "The Fifth Gospel", he says that Yeshua was deeply trained by the Essenes, but that he eventually withdrew -- seeking a path of integrating more deeply, and interfacing with unconscious forces that the Essenes chose to not interface with. That said, no matter what diet you are currently on, or what spiritual view you currently hold, Chris' research here is super-inspiring. Enjoy. → Connect with Chris: essenechurch.com & email: chrissartain@gmail.com.

Wow. What a transformational 3+ days we shared. This prayer arose and I felt to share with you: "I am made of salt and made of light. Both are holy. Neither is a mistake. Yeshua called me as both. What was given to me by blood & ancestry: I receive. What was carried before this lifetime: I acknowledge. What was wounded in the misuse of power: I bring to the light. I do not ask to escape my earthen salt. I ask only that it be illumined. Let the two become one. Let the eye be single. Let what was broken in me become the doorway. Abwoon - breathing ground of all being - Breathe into the place where I am most afraid, Breathe through the solar plexus, Breathe across the threshold I have not yet crossed. I am enough to receive. I am safe to be seen. I Am. As within, so without. As above, so below. Let it be so." ___ This whole week has involved a fair amount of inner wrestling, after an initiation - as I move through what feels like an ongoing container wanting to emerge, as an original expression. The presence and generosity in spirit of everyone here means more than you might know. At moments I've felt very alone (like yesterday), though held within a greater trust that I think is co-created and supported by us having come together. The fact that we can authentically relate is like, an actual hug, one which I didn't know how much I needed. I've also felt drawn toward karmic healing in the area of ancestors and past lives. Woke up with this yesterday. Something beyond-time is opening up - it feels - like more of a tangible possibility to actually create a new story for our children and world. And how luminaries like Steiner, Cayce & others have tapped so deeply into these areas as guides for us. And, it's like somehow God is making this more possible now. Today, insight arrived about being in two parts — meeting at the solar plexus. More opportunity and calling to actually integrate. The eye becoming single. The seed of our embodied authority to heal beyond time.

Something profound happened here over the past few days. And it was very special to do it in this group... I felt it too. Before I share what's coming next, I want to hear from you first. → What shifted for you during the Sacred Reset? → What do you want more of? (fasting experience, community, spiritual practice, specific podcast guests/facilitators, something else entirely – all welcome) Your voice is shaping what gets built next – and what's coming holds much more than these 3 days hinted at. Be as full as you like in your feedback here, it's valued by me and by all of us. ☀️🧡 –Josh P.S. What we experienced together over these 4-5 days was, at times, very elevated... biochemically, emotionally, spiritually. Our nervous systems were in a peak state. For as high as we've been, it's completely normal to feel a corresponding low in the days that follow. This is part of the process, not a sign that something went wrong. You are held. What you accomplished will bless and expand you in ways that will become clearer with time. (Thank you @Elle Smith for your reflection to me on this.) So in addition to your feedback and vision/ideas, I'd love to hear how you're feeling at this time. 🙏

Please post your reply & share: + where you're from + what your intention is with this fast + and optionally something you'd like support / reflection / prayer for. I'm in North Idaho (born and raised near Vancouver BC). My intentions are 1) to step into my higher timeline while practicing discipline, and 2) to see divine release of blessing and true freedom for everyone here to the maximum extent. I'd love prayer for opening my spiritual vision and abundance. 🙏🏼🧡
