From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A Breatharian is one who follows a diet in which no food (and possibly no water) is consumed. Breatharians claim that they are sustained by 'light energy' (or prana) alone, and that this 'diet' is an option for anybody, once the proper techniques for accessing it are made known.
There is no scientific proof that the claims of the breatharians are true. The only breatharian to undergo scientific scrutiny -- Ellen Greve (aka Jasmuheen) -- became ill and bowed out after a few days without food or water, citing stress as the cause for her symptoms.
The well-publicized deaths of Verity Linn and Lani Marcia Roslyn Morris whilst attempting to enter the breatharian "diet" have helped ensure hostility towards the movement.
The breatharian movement also suffered a credibility blow some years ago when another of its leading lights, Wiley Brooks, was caught sneaking into a hotel and ordering a chicken pie.

breatharian
noun. A person who attempts to get all their nutritional needs from the air.
Example Citation:
"'Breatharians' emulate ascetic saints who 'got all the nutrition they needed from the air,' Rhio explains. 'I've met some people who are trying to be doing it. They're doing it occasionally, but they're not at 100 per cent. Yet.'"
—"'Live' food devotees shun cooking," The Toronto Star, January 28, 1998
Backgrounder:
The notion of a person trying to survive only on air sounds, well, kooky. However, as the citations above and below show, those who aspire to breatharianism see it as an enlightened, and even holy, state:
"Blume chose the most rigorous of the group's dietary options and began subsisting almost entirely on the juice of raw wheat grass. He told his friends he wanted to become a 'breatharian,' a holy man who could live on air alone."
—The Associated Press, October 14, 1979

Letter to Colors Magazine in Italy.
Dear Bruno,
Thank you for your interest in Breatharianism. As I started to answer your questions I realized that I was not telling you the whole truth and I now feel like it is critical that I tell it like it really is. I want to tell you something about myself that has not been heard by the public yet. If after reading what I have to say, you are still interest in my view on this philosophy, you may want to submit different questions.
Bruno: What is Breatharianism all about?
Wiley: Breatharianism is philosophy based on the exploits and knowledge gain by God experiencing itself in the flesh as the personality, Wiley Brooks, A Breatharian, on a planet that is on a fast track to annihilation. My job or purpose for the past 30 years has been to seek out the causes of this destructive phenomenon or system and re-direct its forces to manifest more positive and constructive effects in the world. A Breatharian is just another way of saying "God in the flesh." A Breatharian is also another way of saying any Human Being who breathes. A Spiritual Being sustained by the breath of life. As you can see from my perspective all people are Breatharians or God in the flesh.
For 30 years I have known the truth about who I am and what I am. I have also known the truth about who everybody else is as well. The truth is that "I am God, You are God," so get to used to it. Until people experience themselves as the God they truly are, they will not able to comprehend the fact that "we really are all One." From and of the same Source.
The information I have gathered during the past 30 years, as a Breatharian, is vital to the survival of this planet and my intent and priority is to get this information to the masses as soon as possible by whatever means available and appropriate. I have definite plans and knowledge that will be needed to help the world prepare itself for much higher levels of consciousness. These rapidly increasing levels of consciousness and spirituality reacting with the many poisonous gases polluting our environment and the deadly effects caused by electro-magnetic fields from electric power cables, Radio, TV and telephone transmitting towers are creating dangerous levels of heat that could end life on this planet as know it. The prevention of this kind of thing from happening has been the sole purpose of Breatharianism.
Bruno: What is another definition of a Breatharian?
Wiley: A Breatharian is a person who is in alignment with the philosophy of Breatharianism, just as a Catholic is a person who is in alignment with Catholicism and a Mormon is a person who is in alignment with Mormonism. Whether a Breatharian eats solid food or not is a choice, not a demand. Vegetarianism is relative to eating mainly vegetables for food. Fruitarianism is relative to eating mainly fruits for food. Breatharianism is relative to the breathing of air for food. The average person breathes 110 lbs of air per day. Air contains the basic building blocks for all physical matter, namely four gases, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Unfortunately there are many additional poisonous substances in the air that greatly diminish the proper assimilation of these gases, preventing their being used to sustain the human body sufficiently. Common sense dictates that if you can't get enough nutrients or stimulation from the food you taking, whether it is solid, liquid of air, you might have to use an alternative source. This would be solid or liquid food for the Breatharian.
Bruno: In your web page you say that the pollution is the reason why we have to eat something. So it is impossible to be a Breatharian in this world, is that correct?
Wiley: No, this is not correct. The truth is, we were all Breatharians long before we started eating solid and liquid foods. Living on air was the natural way of nourishing our bodies. This is why people were able to live for literally thousands of years in the same body. Eating solid or liquid foods is an acquire process or habit. This process of trying to extract what the body needs to sustain itself from solid or liquid foods puts a deadly drain on body's energy systems. When these facts are known it becomes apparent why we live for decades instead of centuries. When we begin to look at air as a food, it becomes self evident that this food is by far more essential for sustaining life than anything else we might take. Science has proven that the average person can live 30 days or more on just air and water alone. But only a few minutes without air.
Bruno: How is Breatharianism linked with spirituality?
Wiley: Breatharianism is spirituality. They are one and the same. The very essence of remembering yourself as a Breatharian goes hand and hand with the realization that we are Spiritual Beings sustain by the Breath of life and that we are all one big family. Breatharianism is just one of the many processes or tools that can be used to aid anyone traveling on the road to Self and God realization.
Bruno: Can Breatharianism be dangerous for the body?
Wiley: This depend on how you use it. If you believe that not eating is all that Breatharianism is about, it can be very dangerous for your body. Like all knowledge and information, it needs to be applied with a certain amount of wisdom.
Bruno: Are you religious?
Wiley: Yes. If by religious you mean, having certain beliefs and practices that I embrace religiously.
Bruno: Is Breatharianism a religion?
Wiley: It is for me. Since the world has historically always had some type of religion, I believe Breatharianism could be very beneficial as a religion in helping to unify the peoples of the world. We are all one.
Bruno: What is Breatharianism technically speaking?
Breatharianism is physical perfection. Man came into physical existence a perfect Breatharian. The breath of life supplied all the requirements of animation. God breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life, and man became a living entity (Gen 2:7). Nothing was lacking, and nothing more was needed. The Breatharian needs air and Sunlight only, and nothing more to sustain his body.
The world is flooded with books on food and eating. No one seems to realize that eating is not natural, but an acquired habit, like smoking and drinking, and that FRESH CLEAN AIR is the Cosmic Reservoir of all things, including the substance that builds and sustains the human body.
Science has shown that the body is built of cells, which are composed of molecules, which are composed of atoms, which are composed of electrons, which are nothing more than whirling centers of force in the ether.
Electrons do not eat, atoms do not eat, molecules do not eat, cells do not eat, and the body is built of and sustained by the cells, and not by what man eats.
More proof that eating is only a very bad habit, appears in the fact that a sick person often begins at once to recover their health when given no food, and even shows signs of GROWING YOUNGER. This could not be, and it would be dangerous for one to fast, if eating were natural and food were needed to sustain the body.
A Long time ago, pre-dating our currently known history there were very few different types of human bodies residing on the planet at any given time. As the Earth became more populated by beings from many different worlds, more body types and different density patterns became available, some by mutation and others by choice. There were beings whose only need for sustenance was light and sound vibrations, which their souls or higher selves provided. There were others whose only sustenance was breath.
There were also beings whose worlds of origin included the consumption of watery plant materials. Because the Earth's kelp beds and seaweed grasses did not adequately meet the nutritional needs of these beings; rather than leave the planet altogether, they were able to adapt over a period of time to what today you would call a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.
Bruno: Why do we have a digestive system?
Wiley: I am sure you are already aware of the great amount of light the Sun produces everyday to light up the day. Just as the light bulbs you use in your lamps at night require a certain amount of energy from some outside source of power (electrical outlet) to make it light up, the Sun must also must have a source of energy to produce its huge amount of light. The very Earth that we live on requires huge amounts of energy everyday, 24/7, for its maintenance and sustenance just as we humans do. You may not have heard anyone mention seeing gigantic mouths and digestion systems in the Sun or the Earth but I assure you that they are there. The real function of the digestion system is the condensation of spiritual energy (energy we can’t see) into physical energy/matter (energy we can see).
As to your question: ‘ why do we all have a digestive systems?’ The truth is that everything you see as physical matter has a digestion system of some kind. When you turn on the light switches in your home at night you do not actually see light until the spiritual/electrical energy from your power company or source is literally absorbed/eaten and digested by the light bulb. In other words, some process of absorption/eating and digestion of spiritual energy create all physical matter. The original intent of the digestion system was to digest, process and convert spiritual energy into physical energy or matter. We are truly spiritual beings sustained by the spiritual component of the breath of life (light). Our bodies are physical beings sustained by the physical component of the breath of life (Air).
A long time ago the Earth was a place where love, peace, beauty and harmony between the many races of people living at that time was the norm, not the exception. The air, the breath of life, was fresh and full of pure spiritual energy. During that time there was an invisible energy grid that covered the entire surface of the earth, which maintained a constant flow of the balanced spiritual energy needed to sustain all life on earth. All life on the planet at that time had a symbiotic relationship with the earth and was fully supported by this energy matrix or grid. There was more than enough of the right spiritual energy to support the physical world. Considering the condition of the Earth and its environment at the time, it is easy to see why human bodies were originally designed to be sustained by breath alone. Our bodies literally convert spirituality into physicality.
The true digestion organ for a spiritual being is the heart. The primary distributor of physical energy for the bodies is through the heart center. There really was a time when humans lived on love alone. Love is simply a type of emotional energy of a specific frequency that causes us to feel good. When we have enough of this energy we are complete. This energy is contained within all other types of energy.
This energy is experienced more in the heart than the mind.
This matrix or grid that surrounds the earth was damaged over the years by the many destructive wars fought by humans on the planet. The explosion of nuclear weapons and many other destructive forces created by humans reduced the grid’s capacity to maintain a flow of all the frequencies needed to balance earth’s energy. The frequencies we experience as love was greatly reduced. So it became necessary to get this (love) energy from other sources. Because this love energy is found in all other living things we resorted to eating. This was and still is a very inefficient way to energize the body. This is why even though people are eating more than ever they seem to have less energy.
The good news is that over the last few years this energy matrix or grid has been in the process of being repaired. The completion date is set for December, 2002. I’ve have noticed a great increase in this love/Breatharian frequency/energy in the last few months.
A Breatharian is really anyone who breathes. The important thing to know about Breatharianism is that when the Earth is restored to its originally pristine state people will have a choice as to how they chose to energize their bodies. Until that time I would suggest that people should eat what their hearts desire, with the watchful eye of the mind.
At this time the Earth is not ready to support a permanent no eating life style. I believe Everyone should continue to eat until the proper time.
Bruno: When is the last time you ate solid or liquid food?
Wiley: 2 hours ago.
Bruno: What kind of food did you eat?
Wiley: A double quarter pounder with cheese and a diet coke from McDonald's. Some people would call this junk food.
Bruno: Why did you eat it?
Wiley: It is the perfect food that has the necessary poisons and pollutants to harmonized my blood stream with the frequencies of a poisonous and polluted environment. When my body is in harmony with the environment it more effective in transmuting lower frequencies or negative energy into higher frequencies and consciousness. If my frequencies are too far above or below the frequencies I am trying to change I am not able to affect a change.
For example, when two people vibrating at two different frequencies are in close proximity of each other there is a natural inclination for their bodies to try to harmonize at a common frequency to create a path for the greatest amount of love to flow between them. In order for this process to work smoothly at least one person's frequency has to change or stress will be created in the weaker person. This stress is felt as a feeling of fear or uneasiness. Lets take two people vibrating at 100 vibrations per second and 1000 vibrations per second who are standing next to each other talking. If the lower vibrating person is the strongest of the two, the higher vibrating person will be force to come down to the lower frequency, which would create no stress between the two people because the high vibration person is already accustom to the lower vibration. This condition would allow the greatest amount of exchange of love, not stress, between the two people.
However, this is not the case the other around. If the strongest person is the high vibration person the lower vibration person would be force to try to raise their frequency to higher frequencies which their body has not experienced of become accustom to, resulting in a great deal of stress being exchanged between the two people. This is why it is very difficult for people who are eating everyday to be comfortable around people who are fasting. Their frequencies don't match. Once again you will find that to affect a real change in a person it is better to use love than stress.
Bruno: Are you saying that is OK for people to eat meat? What are the right foods if one has to Eat?
Wiley: No. That is not what I am saying. As I have said many times before, I do not tell people what they should or should not eat. The main reason for eating any type of food, whether its meat, vegetables, fruits, solid, liquid or air, is to harmonized the body with its environment and its purposes. To me there are no right or wrong foods There are just foods that work or not work. If harmonizing your body with your environment and your purposes is what you are trying to do then choose the food that helps you reach that goal. We Human Beings have a symbiotic love affair with Mother Earth. It is this exchange of love that allows our bodes to live and remain alive while residing on this planet. This is why no type or amount of food would keep us alive in outer space if we did not keep ourselves in an environment similar to that of the Earth. In other words this planet is a gigantic body of love.
Bruno: Are you saying that we can live on love alone?
Wiley: Yes, literally. The Human Body is simply a love machine. A machine that uses love as fuel. There was a time when our environment was saturated with the energy of love. Because it is the very nature of love to nurture, harmonize and unify, we were all harmonized with the planet and with each other. We were all One. We Humans Beings are Creatures of love and as well as Creators of love. It stands to reason that we would create our physical bodies with matter or materials that were in harmony with ourselves and our environment. Where there is harmony, there is a flow of love. The hunger the world is experiencing is not for food, but for love. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Your manufacturers of food products know from whence I speak They know that foods that produce feelings of love will sell the best. Most junk foods do just that. They produce instant feelings of love and contentment, although temporally.
