Ive not eaten for 9 days before its really really really great. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/27001-opening-of-the-third-eye-and-other-byproducts-along-the-way/?page=6

this is a good resource to check out. During the fast it would be helpful to sometimes listen to Hildegard of Bingen's music, esp the song nunc aperiut nobis. I would love to talk more about this with you. Read the gospel of thomas if you havent already

This is a nice idea, I like it

I will prepare myself for religious fasting myself by consuming all my food so the fasting becomes easier because I don't have anything I could eat

You could do intense prayer instead. Say a rosary or a chaplet.

My daily prayers turn out to be about seven or so minutes long. I run out of things to ask for, to thank for, to confess.

A good starting point is Neoplatonism which represents probably the main influence on the genesis of Christian mysticism. You can go on with Dionysius Areopagita for example, but the most sophisticated mystic author is Meister Eckhart imo. Be careful: there are Latin writings and Middle High German sermons by him - the Latin writings are kind of a mystical theory, the German sermons are kind of a mystical practice/experience (they are intentionally incomprehensible, opaque and self-contradictory - you're not supposed to understand them but to experience them). Eckhart's student Cusanus might also be interesting.

Might as well read the Beguines. Porete is superior to Eckhart.
