I was introduced to the topic of breatharianism by Wiley Brooks' book "Breathe and Live Forever". While it had its share of mumbo-jumbo, there was something in it which struck me as entirely reasonable. From there I read some of Leonard Orr's stuff, though he's centered mostly around rebirthing and Babaji, a supposedly immortal East Indian guru-person. I love Mr. Orr's quote "The quest for immortality is the only thing worth dying for" (I'm sure I've shredded it, but that's basically it). I've read Jasmuheen, and the mumbo-jumbo content there is through the roof. My belief is that breatharianism (or inedia - which is latin for "without food") is a state which is entirely normal in some circumstances, and not necessarily a "spiritual" pursuit at all, except that anything one seeks becomes a process which involves the spirit. My approach is to get a "feel" for my subject, and then explore. I believe the answers to the juiciest questions (such as, "how can I live forever?" or "is it possible to live unfettered by the needs of my physical form?") have very personal answers. To simply follow someone's program is perhaps a more "scientific" approach (i.e. if it works this way for one person then it should work this way for everyone) but I don't anticipate that bringing me the results I'm seeking. Imagine if you could meet someone online, and just by reading their stats and bio, what they say of themselves and their photos, you could instantly know them as you would a dear and trusted friend. Of course that's not the case. In order to develop that meaningful friendship, one must have an ongoing relationship with the person in question. Over time, both people will have grown and changed, and it is when that occurs that the friendship is deep and real. And of course it continues, and deepens further with time. Likewise, to say that by fasting for 21 days and repeating certain mantras (or whatever is the prescription) one will no longer require the physical sustenance which seems typical to all humans, is silly. For me, pursuing continuing relations with this living energy that I would like to sustain me at some point is entirely realisitic. As I work with orgone/prana/kundalini/chi/ki/pyramid energy (in all the different forms that these terms suggest) I am changed. I develop a sense for how the energy flows, works, doesn't work, etc. I find ways to integrate this relationship into other areas of my life. And, as the relationship deepens, it becomes more rewarding and my understanding unfolds. So, rather than pursue a fruitarian diet or eastern spirituality or meditation practice or fasting regimen or chanting practice IN ORDER to produce a desired result, I may do these things, or other things, in order to deepen the relationship. If it is possible for me to live pleasurably without food or sleep, then it will be my developing relationships which show me this. And if not, then I can reasonably expect the awareness and ease I gain from my explorations into the life energy to have other, and multiple, benefits. In summary, my approach to breatharianism is akin to that of any great mystery: I want to understand, I want to belong, to feel and experience. I may come to know something of this mystery by working within it, and I will certainly learn many things about myself. I hope to hear from others who are interested in this path! Thanks.
