Why is it that I get tired and weak whenever I try to fast? Also, why does the transition take so long?
Fatigue is in the first place a reduction of strength by too much digestion work; secondly, a clogging up of the heated and consequently narrowed-down blood vessels; and thirdly, a self- and re-poisoning through the excretion of mucus during the motion.[27]
Here I would ask: What are the implications of Vitality = Power – Obstruction? Above, Ehret is speaking of different forms of fatigue, but the principle of V = P – O helps to explain them all.
In the first case, most of the world’s eaters need to sleep anywhere from 4 to 12 hours every 24 hours. In my view, sleep is essentially a “forced fast,”[28] where certain bodily faculties are shut down so that:
- Eating is stopped
- The body can recuperate from being overstimulated from eating
- Waste materials (pus and mucus) can be prepared for excretion or, in the case of bodily constipation, assimilated into the tissue system of the organism
In the second case, when one restricts mucus-forming foods and/or the amount of food taken into the body, the body begins to go through a healing process. Pus and mucus that have been assimilated into the body after generations of mucus eating then begin to be brought to the surface for elimination. This material then obstructs the blood flow, creating understimulation. Further, the toxic, loosened waste enters the bloodstream to be eliminated, resulting in “re-poisoning.” Here, as the blood becomes obstructed with latent waste materials, weakness sets in. Depending on the degree of toxicity, weakness is combined with feeling horrible.
To put the above into perspective, I offer the following narratives:
Scenario 1: Immediate Consequence
Brian, who is 4 years old, is in the living room of his house alone. In his hand, he has a water gun. For some reason, he is urged to shoot water onto the electrical outlet that the television is plugged into. As he does this, his mother comes in and sees him. She immediately takes the gun from him and scolds him. Although he begins to cry, he is aware that what he did is unfavorable to his mother. Consequently, he knew why he was scolded. Cause and effect: Because he squirted the electrical socket with water, he was then scolded by his mother.
Scenario 2: Delayed Consequence
Tom, who is also 4 years old, accidentally broke an antique lamp when he was 1 year old. He was learning to walk, fell, and knocked over a tall, skinny lamp. At the time, his mother acted as if nothing had happened. Three years later, Tom was sitting on the couch watching Saturday morning cartoons when his mother came in furious. She screamed at him and slapped him across the face. Tom began to cry. He was confused and did not know why his mother was so angry with him. After one last slap across the face, his mother stormed out of the room. As Tom sat crying, he tried to figure out what he did wrong. What he did not realize was that his mother was furious at him for breaking the antique lamp, an event that he was not even aware that he did.
When it comes to physiological illness and elimination, many of us are in Tom’s position. We must pay for having broken universal laws, but we do not make a connection between our past indiscretions and the pain and suffering that we are going through in the present moment.
The Connection Between Fasting and Physiological Karma
In the case of fatigue, we have been eating poisons that have kept us so high for so long, the process of coming down is much more horrendous than the process of getting off heroin or meth. We must eliminate the wrongdoing of generations of mucus poisoning. Thus, a lifetime of transition is in order.
One question to consider is: How far back in your bloodline must you go before you meet your fruitarian ancestors? What is your physiological karma?
It must be understood that the uneliminated, assimilated wastes of any organism are passed onto the next generation. Consequently, we must suffer the effects of wrong eating from our ancestral bloodline as we eliminate waste. Weakness and fatigue are Mother Nature’s punishment for our wrong living. But, since we have been running from her, by the time we get punished, we have forgotten what we have done wrong. Now, equipped with knowing that eating pus and mucus is wrong, like jumping off a building is wrong, we can understand the nature of our eliminations better.
The Warm Embrace of Fasting
When I fast, I usually go through several days of feeling awful. I’m blowing my nose, moping around, feeling weak and tired. By the seventh or eighth day, I feel the warm embrace of Mother Nature. It is like an eternal hug. Of course, there are ups and downs within the course of the fast, but the warm hug is always felt. When I begin eating again, the hug becomes much harder to feel. The more I eat, the more disconnected I become.
Baptism and Internal Cleansing
Excerpt from the Essene Gospel of Peace (Book One)
And Jesus said: “After the angel of air, seek the angel of water. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of water to embrace all your body. Cast yourselves wholly into his enfolding arms, and as often as you move the air with your breath, move with your body the water also. I tell you truly, the angel of water shall cast out of your body all uncleanesses which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall flow out of you, even as the uncleannesses of garments washed in water flow away and are lost in the stream of the river. I tell you truly, holy is the angel of water who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. No man may come before the face of God whom the angel of water lets not pass. In very truth, all must be born again of water and of truth, for your body bathes in the river of earthly life, and your spirit bathes in the river of life everlasting. For you receive your blood from our Earthly Mother and the truth from our Heavenly Father.
“Think not that it is sufficient that the angel of water embrace you outwards only. I tell you truly, the uncleanness within is greater by much than the uncleanness without. And he who cleanses himself without, but within remains unclean, is like to tombs that outward are painted fair, but are within full of all manner of horrible uncleannesses and abominations. So I tell you truly, suffer the angel of water to baptize you also within, that you may become free from all your past sins, and that within likewise you may become as pure as the river’s foam sporting in the sunlight.

So I tell you truly, suffer the angel of water to baptize you also within, that you may become free from all your past sins, and that within likewise you may become as pure as the river’s foam sporting in the sunlight.
“Seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd, having a stalk the length of a man; take out its innards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree, and kneel upon the ground before the angel of water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels. Afterwards rest kneeling on the ground before the angel of water and pray to the living God that He will forgive you all your past sins, and pray the angel of water that he will free your body from every uncleanness and disease. Then let the water run out from your body, that it may carry away from within it all the unclean and evil-smelling things of Satan. And you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose all the abominations and uncleanness which defiled the temple of your body; even all the sins which abode in your body, tormenting you with all manner of pains. I tell you truly, baptism with water frees you from all of these. Renew your baptizing with water on every day of your fast, till the day when you see that the water which flows out of you is as pure as the river’s foam. Then betake your body to the coursing river, and there in the arms of the angel of water render thanks to the living God that He has freed you from your sins. And this holy baptizing by the angel of water is rebirth unto the new life. For your eyes shall henceforth see, and your ears shall hear. Sin no more, therefore, after your baptism, that the angels of air and of water may eternally abide in you and serve you ever more.
“And if afterward there remain within you aught of your past sins and uncleannesses, seek the angel of sunlight. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of sunlight to embrace all your body. Then breathe long and deeply, that the angel of sunlight may be brought within you. And the angel of sunlight shall cast out of your body all evil-smelling and unclean things which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall rise from you, even as the darkness of night fades before the brightness of the rising sun. For I tell you truly, holy is the angel of sunlight who cleans out all uncleannesses and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. None may come before the face of God, whom the angel of sunlight lets not pass. Truly, all must be born again of sun and of truth, for your body basks in the sunlight of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit basks in the sunlight of the truth of the Heavenly Father.” (Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (1905–1979), trans. Essene Gospel of Peace: Book One)

The Essene Gospel of Peace and the Fruitarian Connection
This excerpt is from the Essene Gospel of Peace translated by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (1905–1979). There is a fair amount of controversy surrounding this text and the nature of its authenticity.
Some believe that the healing abilities of Jesus were due in part to his knowledge of fruitarianism and fasting as the omnipotent healing modalities for humankind. There are a handful of books that offer fruitarian versions of other biblical characters, such as The Essene Gospel of John, which portrays John the Baptist as a fruitarian.
Some people believe that the writings were constructed by Szekely and raw-food activist Johnny Lovewisdom to promote fruitarian consciousness. Others argue that much of the breatharian and fruitarian consciousness found in original versions of ancient theological texts were suppressed or eliminated during Constantine’s assemblage of the Bible.
I do not know the true nature of their origins, nor do I feel it to be particularly important. I view the work as a great piece of literature that alludes to universal healing laws—one of the few to do so this explicitly.
With that said, clues that point toward humanity’s fundamental fruitarian nature may still be found in modern Bibles, such as Genesis 1:29:
Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you.” (New American Standard Bible, 1995)
The Importance of Elimination
All in all, lemon enemas have been important to me. As our body loosens and attempts to throw off waste, we must do all that we can to help.
I’m reminded of the chicken embryo experiment, where embryos were kept alive for many years. This was possible because the waste they excreted was eliminated daily. After a number of years, one day was missed of cleaning the waste out, and the embryos died. It was proposed that the embryos could have survived indefinitely if the waste had been continually eliminated.
What level of health could we attain if we were to consistently eliminate the waste that our body throws off?
Peace, Love, and Breath!
