A Call to Find Like-Minded Travelers
If you’ve found yourself asking, “Is there anyone else doing a 40-day fast before the end of 2025?” you are not alone. Around the world, more seekers are feeling the inner pull toward deep purification, spiritual initiation, and the remembering of who we truly are.
This is a moment in history where countless individuals are waking from the hypnotic pull of material life and turning inward. Fasting—especially the 40-day fast—has been practiced for millennia as a gateway to spiritual transformation. From Jesus to the Buddha, great teachers stepped away from the world to liberate themselves from desire and return with a profound mission: to help humanity remember its divine origin.
Today, the invitation returns.
Why 40 Days?
The number 40 appears across sacred traditions: purification, cleansing, transformation, rebirth.
The flood lasted 40 days.
Moses spent 40 days on Sinai.
Jesus fasted 40 days in the wilderness.
Many yogic, Taoist, and monastic traditions treat 40 days as a cycle of death and renewal.
To commit to a 40-day fast—whether water, juice, or modified—is to step into an ancient lineage of spiritual initiates. It is a conscious decision to transcend old patterns, dissolve attachments, and awaken inner sight.
This is not simply about physical discipline.
It is a passage.
A Rite of Initiation
Every spiritual path involves initiation—a crossing over into deeper truth. Fasting removes noise and distraction. In the absence of constant consumption, we face ourselves. We meet the inner wilderness where our beliefs, fears, and desires are stripped bare.
Jesus entered the desert and emerged with clarity of purpose.The Buddha shed worldly comforts and awakened under the Bodhi tree.
In both stories, liberation from desire became the turning point. Only after freeing themselves could they share their gifts with the world.
Those who feel called now are walking this same ancient path.
The Tao Te Ching and the Mystery of Desire
Verse 1 of the Tao Te Ching reveals a key to this journey:
“Free from desire you realize the mystery. Caught in desire you only see the manifestations”
When we are bound by desire, we only see the outer world—the forms, the names, the illusions.But when our longing quiets, the hidden essence is revealed.
This is the inner kingdom Jesus spoke of, and the awakening Buddha embodied.
A 40-day fast is an invitation into that mystery.
With every day that passes, layers fall away.
With every hunger pang, the ego loosens its grip.
In the stillness, something ancient awakens.
A Call to Find One Another

This Is a New Beginning
The great teachers of the past did not complete their fasts for purity alone.They did so to remember, and then help others remember.
You may be hearing that same whisper now.
A reminder that there is more to this life than the material.That the kingdom is within.
That the mystery is ready to reveal itself.
If you are contemplating this journey, trust your intuition.
Your soul already knows the way.
Are You Called?
If you are planning a 40-day fast before the end of 2025—or are simply curious—connect.
Let’s find one another.

Because when one remembers…

And when many remember…the world transforms.
