Can fasting lead to possession by demons?

I actually think that's a fair question. On one hand it would seem fasting would weaken you and allow for an easier time for demons take you over. However some cultures consider fasting to improve you spiritually which should make it tougher.
Those could be demon lies though.
Fasting can open you up to spiritual experiences, which can go either way. However, fasting is triumph of the spirit over flesh. I would argue that indulgence is much more likely to lead to possession. It breeds weak will.
You are equally strong as any entity you would call demon.

No, your spiritual prowess is not immediately harmed through fasting, and thus you are no more, or less, susceptible to possession. However, long term starvation may lead to desperation and tolerance for evil in your necessity for food. That would wound the integrity of your soul. You will be OK if you don't cause yourself to grievously suffer, or face famine. In fact, water fasting is a relatively healthy practice to consider maybe once or twice a year in order to rid yourself of most un-natural build ups of substances or dependence, it can even clear blemishes from your body.
You'll be OK, anon.
t. not a demon

No. Schizophrenia does that perfectly.

Quite the contrary.
Catholic tradition calls for fasting every now and then.

Maybe I'm thinking of OCD. 'Intrusive thoughts' as 'demons.'

also, islam, during ramadan
and didn't the buddha attain enlightenment after fasting for so long
as for me, the only thing fasting did was help me lose weight temporarily (gaining it all back now), and massive hair loss
No fasting wont open you up to possession unless you're surrounding yourself with negative energy.
Fasting is actually a good spiritual tool. You overcome the physical and open up more to the spiritual.

It is well documented and scientifically proven that the state of your mind on DMT is similar to the mind of one who is meditating. Basically, it unlocks the neuronal patterns which adults are stuck in, and communication is allowed to happen through neuronal patterns which you have not used since you are a child, even new ones make form.
This is in fact, a biological definition of the child-like wonder that we all experience as children, and it is well understood how dreaming resembles this. Those patterns which you are locked in are those of self-respection, I.e. all the thoughts concerning yourself, and thus many report a loss of self when they do these drugs, meditate, or dream, and so it is in children, feeling most of what you worry about is meaningless.
Now why is it, that most of us, a statistically significant number, also say they feel the presence of something else. Some other being or force, permeating the space around them? Children believe in ghosts, monsters, etc. Their feelings are very real, but as an adult we do not believe in them, yet somehow feel this presence. They are in fact one of the same, and as we grow up, we are conditioned to ignore them. The truth is more astounding than you think. Keep your eyes open, don't let the veil be pulled over them.

Don't give me that pseudoscience bullshit. These are real assertions. There is agreement about all the facts in the scientific neurobiology community, but so far there exists no explanation for this presence of others. Are you going to believe in psychology? That's a pseudoscience, and soon we will have actually statistically effective and axiomatic methods for therapy, memory modification and neural path modification, which will replace all that post-freud garbage.
