Talking Oh, no! Am I becoming a breatharian?!
For the past couple of weeks, I have not been able to get enough sunlight! Even when it's been over 100 degrees here on some days, when I step outside, I have to take a few minutes to just *bask*. Normally, I just like to maintain... not too hot, not too cold... but lately, I just want to be in the sunlight as much as possible, no matter how hot it is.

Today, I started the Master Cleanse method of fasting. It wasn't until I went to get the clothes in from the clothes line, and took 15 minutes or so to sit in the sun, that I remembered this thread. Do you think my higher self, knowing I was going to be fasting (even though *I* wasn't sure!), caused me to crave sunlight?

There was a psychic I saw several years ago... she was breatharian. No one around her the whole time she was here (a couple of weeks) ever saw her eat. She claimed she'd eat every so often so she wouldn't die, but needed to not each much to maintain her connection to the spirit realm. Could this be the next step in my development as an intuitive? Could I become... breatharian?

Perhaps you should abandon your fast and switch over to McDonald's Quarter Pounders with Cheese and Diet Coke and find out for yourself!

Oh come on...even if you COULD survive without food, eating is still a hell of a lot of fun, why would you want to give that up?

sorry, it was a groaner.

My favorite diet is the one my tech guy told me he was on: he doesn't eat anything that casts a shadow.

Tech guys only eat pizza and drink coke right? But if he's in the dark that means his monitor is off. That can't happen!

The idea of breatharianism has existed in both eastern (for the chinese/taoist version google "bigu", no grain) and western traditions for quite some time, with it being something that simply happens to some people at certain stages rather than it being something actively sought out like the idea some people are selling now. I would say that most if not all people promoting the idea now are frauds, and I'm not sure about the alleged historical versions. Autobiography of a Yogi has a lot of fun tales.

Enjoy. It'd be quite liberating to not HAVE to eat all the time. All of nature is built on one thing eating another. What might it be like if that weren't the case?
