Just one of many things you can't explain, weird probably getting blessed or something.

He disinergrated.

Why can't some people believe in blessings and miracles ??

This was blown open a long time ago. What most articles don't mention is that every night his "handlers" put up a cloth barrier around him from 5PM to 5AM shielding them from all prying eyes. When scientists said they would observe him he disappeared. It should also be noted his managers have collected over 600,000 rupees in donations which has since been frozen since the government thinks it being funneled to Maoist rebels.

He's an accomplished meditator but it also seems he or his managers are accomplished hoaxsters which is not uncommon in Nepal and India where "Holy Men" often prey on devoutness of poor villagers.

lol I just cant believe ppl simply dont believe this story because all they know is science the way it is today. so what does science say about those thousands who walk on fire all accross the globe every year, including westerners?

lol I just cant believe ppl simply dont believe this story because all they know is science the way it is today. so what does science say about those thousands who walk on fire all accross the globe every year, including westerners? So people being able to slow their heartbeat to 2 beats/min or have themselves buried alive or just meditating under water for days is accepted just because it's not denialbe any more, but someone gaining energy from our ultimate energy source is just impossible? If it was up to you guys, our "science" would never develop in a way that'd allow us to truly understand who we are and why we are here. But I guess some ppl are just fine not knowing sh**, thinking that something will create itself out of nothing and that is acceptable because others say so. The answers are out there, anyone can acquire them, some ppl will just sit and wait for science to change(/progress?) and just die in the meantime, while we still dunno anything. When our scientists came up with the quantum theories at the beginning of the 20th century, most scientists thought they'd lost it. Patricles that behave like wawes? Come on... Acupuncture? Sticking needles in your skin? Used to be a ridiculous concept, widely known and used nowadays. Astral projection? Some dont believe but give it a try and find out that they can actually do it, others wont ever try saying its impossible. Their loss... Disbelief? How can it be ANY good? How about investigating, rather than waiting for others to do so and then believe what you would've believed anyway regardless of what the others have found. How about trying stuff yourselves, "on you own skin", and then share the results with others? There are lots of people sharing their lucid dreams, no doubt about such an ability of the mind, and I have met ppl who hadn't heard of it, and when a told them what it was, guess what - they said it's impossible! And I know the guys - typical brainwashed closed-minded westerners who will sit home and watch telly whenever they can. Sure, they know it all aright... I think these ppl should get out more, do stuff, read, and get a REAL life. Man, wake up! All is not that it seems...

Science is a method not a set of knowledge.

On the firewalking thing it is easily explained and completely understood and has nothing supernatural about it whatsoever. Here is an interesting article on "HowStuffWorks.com" - a good place to start with things before invoking supernatural causes ;-)

http://people.howstuffworks.com/firewalking.htm

Good article. First of all I must agree with what you are saying about science. As for the article, couple of problems: ppl walk not only on fire made from organic material e.g. wood but also on lava that had just solidified enough to hold a person, hot lava still flowing underneath. Good example would be the ceremonies in Hawaii. There is no water in the stuff evaporating, and molten rock is hardly a good insulator. Second, the passing through the fire is not always limited for a few seconds at a time. Third, as soon as the guy who is in a trance-state in the meantime comes out of the trance (before which they let everybody know and wait for them to come out), those who refuse to come out WILL suffer severe burns, which have resulted in limbs amputated. Where has the "science" gone? I'm not saying these are supernatural. All I'm saying that in our present world where science will not even ADMIT the existence of many of these phenomena, let alone investigate them, the powers of the human mind remain unexplained, thus you can not call them scientific YET. some will call them supernatural, you gotta call them something... I would probably call them just unexplained phenomena or something, it doesn't matter. I think all that matters is to keep an open mind to the world.

As for meditating under water... What's the big deal? If they can learn to control their heartbeat-rate, what makes anybody think they can't or won't learn to control the rest. They will simply shut down all bodily functions to the point that he is clinically dead. This is called hibernation, and even animals can do the trick. You don't have to be a believer to admit this.
There is a good online enlightenment magazine called What If? that you might find interesting. Here is an article from that site: http://www.wie.org/j24/baba.asp

Signs of possibly unsuccessful breatharian initiation at present



Reaching a breatharian state means to undergo various physical and other changes, that initiate this new type of living. Glands will activate and strengthen, adapting the hormonal and chemical productions and endocrinal balances for breatharianism. The brain will reach a higher level of activation (it is estimated that average people have 9-11% of their brain active only, remainder being dormant!). Heart will lower its pulse and blood pressure, blood become thinner and change in composition. Liver activate and begin fluids and body fats production. Stomach and many parts of the digestive system de-activate slightly. And many more changes that occur in our physical body, but also changes in our emotional, mental and other.

Something obviously triggers these changes. And something definitely is needed to make this happen. It is not a matter of studying what make these changes, or how to acchieve them. It is in no ways an intellectual path, as it seems. We also see how so many people will start to starve, dehydrate, and become malnourished if they do not get foods. Even some who are attempting to reach a breatharian path, and thus have the right intentions, will not always be fully successful.

On this page, I will list some of the indicators that may be able to tell if a person has something still that is keeping them from reaching a breatharian initiation at this stage. I base the following on my personal experiences, where I have gone back and forth between full successful breatharianism and fought myself back to foods, and in this process been able to see what happens and what the results of several symptoms, thoughts, etc, will be. I have also spoken with several others on a breatharian path, read material on various perspectives on foods, eating and breatharianism. I have thus been able to form somewhat of an understanding where various signs are always or most often able to indicate that this person is going toward a non-successful breatharian initiation.

BREATHARIANISM, INEDIA, NON-EATING (breatharian, inediate, non-eater)

This is a state of man (breatharian, inediate, non-eater) characterized (among other things) by the absence of eating, resulting from (or rather being a stage on the way to) expanding of the Consciousness sphere in which a person lives. In general an ideal (fully realized) inediate, breatharian, non-eater has no need to eat or drink to keep the body working perfectly. A breatharian consumes no food and no drink, he/she needs only air to nourish the body.

Many non-eaters (even if he/she call him/herself a breatharian) drink (some) water, tea, coffee or other beverages from time to time. Some of them, in order to satisfy the sense of taste, eat a piece of chocolate, a cookie, some cheese, horseradish or something else once in a while. The non-eating state of an inediate, breatharian, non-eater doesn't require any ascetic practices of the body. This is more about the freedom of choice and a lot of benefits.

A person who regularly drinks liquid food, e.g. fruit juices, can't be called an inediate, breatharian or non-eater. This is a diet called liquidarianism. Also, we don't call a person an inediate or breatharian when he/she is fasting or on a starvation diet. Also in these cases food is not (or almost not) consumed during some time, but such situation lasts only temporary and then food consumption is resumed or the person dies. An inediate or breatharian, never starves or dies for lack of food because his/her body needs not matter called food.

Permanent non-eating, inedia or breatharianism are states which usually appear as a side effect of expanding one's sphere of the Consciousness. However there are also many cases that this state happened unexpectedly and lasted for months or years.

A person who by force tries to refrain from eating can't be called an inediate or breatharian. Such action, if prolonged, is harmful to the body and can lead to death. Fasting and starvation diet are different subjects the inedia, breatharianism and non-eating.

Becoming an inediate or breatharian results (often as a side effect) on a way of expanding the sphere of the Consciousness which the person lives in. Inedia, breatharianism is more like a characteristic features of a life style and is not limited to just stopping all food intake. Because an inediate or breatharian sets him/herself free from the need to feed the body, he/she has the choice to eat or not to eat, but one thing is for sure, a real inediate or breatharian does not need to eat to keep the body working normally. more ...

The Miracle of Vitamin D

In April of 2000 a clinical observation published in Archives of Internal Medicine caught my attention. Dr. Anu Prabhala and his colleagues reported on the treatment of five patients confined to wheelchairs with severe weakness and fatigue. Blood tests revealed that all suffered from severe vitamin D deficiency. The patients received 50,000 IU vitamin D per week and all became mobile within six weeks.1

The UV-rays in sunlight actually stimulate the thyroid gland to increase hormone production, which in turn increases the body’s basal metabolic rate. This assists both in weight loss and improved muscle development. Farm animals fatten much faster when kept indoors, and so do people who stay out of the sun. Therefore, if you want to lose weight or increase your muscle tone, expose your body to the sun on a regular basis. The use of antibiotics, which has practically replaced heliotherapy, has in recent years led to the development of drug-resistant strains of bacteria, which defy any treatment other than the balanced use of sun, water, air, and food. Cutting out or substantially reducing any of these four essential constituents of life, results in disease.

UV light is known to activate an important skin hormone called solitrol. Solitrol influences our immune system and many of our body’s regulatory centers, and, in conjunction with the pineal hormone melatonin, causes changes in mood and daily biological rhythms. The hemoglobin in our red blood cells requires ultraviolet (UV) light to bind to the oxygen needed for all cellular functions. Lack of sunlight can, therefore, be held co-responsible for almost any kind of illness, including skin cancer and other forms of cancer. As you are about to find out, it may be highly detrimental to your health to miss out on sunlight.

By the year 1933, there were over 165 different diseases for which sunlight proved to be a beneficial treatment. However, with the death of Rollier in 1954 and the growing power of the pharmaceutical industry, heliotherapy fell into disuse. By the 1960s, man-made “miracle drugs” had replaced medicine’s fascination with the sun’s healing powers, and by the 1980s the public was increasingly being bombarded with warnings about sunbathing and the risks of skin cancer.

..How about Vitamin D ???

By looking into the sub-atomic particles that make up all matter, physicists have indeed confirmed that light is life itself.
http://www.dianaewald.com/Vibrational_Medicine.html

At the quantum level of subatomic particles, all matter is literally frozen, particularized energy fields (i.e. frozen light)


ed light carried into physical manifestation by photons that are directed by creative intelligence.

Before Creation

All matter is but vibrating energy some scientists claim and people like Albert Einstein expressed that belief in a mathematical formula: E=mc 2

What does that mean? Very simply it means that there was energy ‘before' matter and that all matter consists of that ‘pre physical' energy.

Since in that ‘energy' there ‘existed' neither electrons nor protons, neither atoms nor molecules and hence neither ‘matter' and especially no ‘observers' of that matter there was neither space nor time either.

There was ‘nothing' (No-Thing) which the human mind could recognise as ‘something'…or ‘Some-Thing'.

To the human mind the energy of which all matter consists is nothing. Nothing the mind can ‘grasp' through the ‘senses' of the body.

But everything that exists in physical reality, every proton, electron and atom in the physical Universe consists exactly of that ‘nothing' - consists of ‘vibrating' energy.

Can you SEE? When I say: ‘can you see', I do not mean ‘can you understand me', but rather: 'can you follow me into that ‘pre physical energy and information' and can you SEE what I can see with my ‘inner eyes'. Perhaps with my heart rather than my mind if we consider the heart as being the ‘seat of God'.

I had to stop myself from saying; ‘pre physical light and information field' since a field can exist only if we have matter….and especially an observer of that ‘matter'

I totally agree with you . Why can't some people believe in blessings and miracles ??
