What do you think of the idea of going on a 'spiritual fast' as described here;

Biblical? Good idea? Bad idea?

I like the idea, but some of it sounds a little "forced". I have done a similar thing a time or two, but not thinking of it as a "fast". I must say that I think it help me focus on God in a better way. I think with a few personal modifications this can be a beneficial endeavor.
