You will still have to go through the 3 weeks, even after you already had a week on water.
My understanding is this:
The first week of the process is like a sudden death-message to the body. It is this shock which will break down the old structures and will make a path for new ones to develop. I think this sudden impact is necessary.
If you start a week prior to it with being on water only, the body most likely interpret the signal like this: First week fasting, second week dieing.
So you are weakening the body already before entering the process. That lost strength might be needed later during the process.
Imagine a kind of thin rubber-wall you want to break through. If you just stem against it, it will throw you back. But if you take a 15-20 meter sprint before jumping into it, then the forceful impact rips the fabric and you will get through.

Again: It boils down to enforcing your belief structure, which is individual. But as you do not have experience in it, it will be very difficult. Its therefore much easier to cling to a proven concept.

The principle is obviously existing independently:
I know somebody who, 25 years ago, went on a 9 day long fast without water or any prep. It was a kind of “Tapasya”, an extreme exercise, to achieve a set spiritual goal. He achieved that goal, and was additionally “told” that he will not require to eat any food any more. He actually started eating again, fearing that he had become delusional.
But at that time the concept of a 3 week process had not existed in the public and was unknown to him, and he still went through it with the same results.
In another case, a woman lost her husband in a traumatic way. She stopped eating and drinking for nearly two weeks. Then resumed to drink occasionally and remained in this state for the last years. This is a case of “karmic enforcement”, so quite different from a consciously chosen path, but the key component is still the same.

You fear that “water and food might be too tough”.
You can choose:
Work on the fear and develop the inner confidence that everything will work out. That you can do by reading positive books about the process, testimonies, etc…

or…

postpone/quit.

That’s life: You can choose…


Many people’s EGO will say: No, no, I will not quit, because I am already spiritually sooo developed!
But: You might not be able to force it by pure willpower, because the process is also an act of surrender, a wilful placing of yourself into the divine care.

Trained Illuminati are typical candidates for the willpower game. If they would go for the process, they might end up cremating the care and digesting themselves…
Because that willpower is no replacement for an inner confidence in the divine care.

If you are, even after intensive preparation, not sure, then do not go for it.
