A Breatharian
The beauty of time lies in the remembrance that we are Love.
-Vanessa Love
I believe food is everything. It is light manifested in our bodies, coming to all beings like air and sunlight. Today, I understand that I have always been a breatharian. When I was young, I struggled with the idea that I needed to eat.
The truth is, I do not need to eat. Other people do, and I find that strange. In my view, they only need to eat in a better way – the way of light. If they realized their bodies are light, they would find consuming light to be the natural way of living.
In 2016, I decided to leave the conventional ways of our world. Deeply unhappy, I knew I had to eat differently. Living in San Francisco, I passed by restaurants every day that simply weren’t for me. I continued eating two meals a day because I thought it was necessary, but I struggled to find my place.
The beginning
To alleviate my pain, the Buddha appeared to show me that I could eat nothing. I didn’t understand his message until I met a breatharian.
Eating nothing was not so difficult for me. To me, all life is sacred. Animals should not be eaten. Fish are the same, and even animal products are created in pain. Soon, I even stopped my liquid intake.
For 22 days, I ate and drank absolutely nothing.
I can only describe what happened next: my body changed.
I realized there is no time. Time is a delusion when we feel we have no choice. I can move to any moment I wish. Life is all that exists. Life is a choice. It is one being manifesting itself in many forms.
