One particular society in history, the Gnostic Essenes, incorporated fasting and prayer not only as an everyday religious and spiritual way of life, but was used by the Elect to be initiated into the higher mysteries and become “Sons of God”.

They were healers in the truest sense of the word, for they gave one the tools and means to transform his entire being (physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual). They developed their own prayers and rituals. They incorporated raw food eating. They felt that the sins of the parents were visited on the children. So they hoped that in generations to come, their descendants would transcend their ills. For 500 years they groomed a messiah to carry the message to the rest of the world. They produced Jesus.
