wiley.jpgHoo boy. For those who don't know, breatharians are folks that live without the benefit of food. They take in all sustenance and energy through the air. And while this is among the silliest claims we've had at the JREF, we receive queries about it often, including challenge applications. However, 70-year old Wiley Brooks, who claims to have lived without food for thirty years, has just made an important announcement through his Breatharian Institute of America that may have us rethinking our previous notions.

Or maybe not. Here is the text of their annoucrment, directly from their site:

High levels of 5th dimentional
light/love energies beamed from
the lightship "PHOENIX"
"Soltec" Commander,
began to be felt in the area of Phoenix, AZ
at 8:00 am, October 13, 2008

This Federation Of Light spacescraft (Lightship) 
will remain in our environment until
the levels of negative energies on the planet have subsided to
certain threshold levels before any sustained physical appearances can be permitted.

Don't be dismayed, keep your eyes and cameras on the skies.
(Certain forces are working overtime to prevent this event for happening.)
........but, know in your heart of hearts that "The Light will prevail".

To: Blossom Goodchild.
YOUR INFORMATION WAS ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT!

IT IS NOW VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE WHO CAN, START USING THE "FIVE MAGIC WORDS" (5D) MEDITATION SYSTEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
(READ THE Q & A PAGE FIRST)
YOUR LIFE MIGHT DEPEND ON IT

More information and the pronunciation of the "5 Magic Words" can now be heard at "YouTube.com".  Go to YouTube and type in "wiley brooks"
and listen to Pt 10 for the words.

"Certain forces?" Why do I think they mean us? Oh... and what's this... a familiar name! Blossom Goodchild graces this site once again. Randi wrote about her last week. Alabama... Arizona... well, they start with the same letter.  

We're not sure why they couldn't link to the video, but we can. You can just click here to view it. I found it a bit repetitve. The comments of "greenleelu" reveal what the words might be... though there is some disagreement: 

Many of these words are said in Kundalini Yoga classes. Their roots are from the Sanskrit language and Sikh religion.

Rulers of the 5 planes":

JOT = flame of creation, Divine, Highest

NIRANJAN = the agent of Eternal Time, creator of physical universe

ONKAR = creator of sound energy. (EK ONKAR is usu. translated as "God is One.")

RARANKAR = Ruler of the liberation of the soul.

SO-HAM (or SOHUNG) = "That I Am" or "I Myself" or "It is I"

SAT NAM = "I am Truth" or literally "True Name"

And what does this all mean?  I have no idea. Unlike many apparent delusions, every single person who subscribes to breatharianism is either lying or dying. Those are the only two choices if what we know about the world is true. Randi reports that his investigations of breatharians uncovered covert runs to local fast food establishments. One applicant asked us to make sure she had access to a private bathroom. Think about that for a moment... 

I constantly remind skeptics to avoid dogmatism, and to consider even the most unlikely claim as having some level of possibility. But I must confess this one makes that very difficult. So here's my offer... I invite the Lightships Phoenix, Yuma and Tucson... or any other Arizonan namesake to visit me and make themselves known. I'll bake cookies... they might be hungry after such a long journey.
