Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 There is a difference between over-eating, and maintaining one's physical form with a healthy and nutritious diet. Why are "Breatharians" so irrationally obsessed with air? From the moment our umbilical cords are cut, humans persist in filling their lungs with oxygen. Some even seek "highs" through hyperventilation. It's an addiction. Master your impermanent physical body, and stop taking in air. You will unite with God within minutes. Your complexion with turn as blue as Bhagavan Krishna's. It's a good thing. Get off the Hamsa. Stop breath abuse. -- Len/ Kalipadma > , > elixirbooks@j... wrote: > > > there are stories of those who have existed for > long periods of time > > without eating > > for example, the woman saint in paramahansa > yogananda's book, > > autobiography of a yogi > > and the perfect master upasni maharaj who was said > to have gone > without > > food or water for a year > > the story is included in [search words] lord meher > online, the > biography > > of meher baba > > these were highly developed saints, mystics > > their activity level may have been spent in > constant meditation > > they demonstrated that the physical body is > illusion > > i have heard that those who did not eat lived on > prana, breathing > it from > > the air > > breatharians believe this > > > > i heard an interesting interview years ago of a > breatharian who > said he > > ate chicken and cake > > the interviewer asked him why he was supposed to > be living on > breathing > > the air alone > > but still ate chicken and cake > > the breatharian answered that because he lived in > the poisonous > cities > > he had to eat poison food > > > > the point of fasting is mastery and non-attachment > to food and the > > physical body > > ahimsa is non-violence to animals so that animals > will not have to > > undergo pain in harvesting their meat > > it is why i am a vegetarian, yet i make no > judgment about what > others eat > > empty ritual or endless ablutions that punish the > body are of no > > particular spiritual value since the body is in > illusion > > the body is the vehicle of soul to gather > experiences in the > physical > > plane > > [if we] honor the body and are grateful for what > it affords us > > yet may we be unattached so that we are not bound > to the body > > that way, when we drop the body we will not be > drawn to reincarnate > > again, if that is ones aim > > > > not eating, if you live in the world and must work > and deal with > high > > stress levels > > will probably result in weight loss, nutrient > loss, and eventual > decay of > > the body organs > > yet for a while, hunger might go away and serenity > from non- > attachment to > > food might result > > this is a good experience in terms of being freed > from the fears of > not > > eating > > these fears are very primal and probably go back > to the animal form > > however, after you have proved this point to > yourself and had the > > experience > > would it not be pride and ego to continue to fast > if it resulted in > > death? > > > > i hope this helps > > > > with love, > > dean > __ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
