Sanity Check

Well, if the consensus is it being fake. Can we simply say its fake and leave the thread where it is for future reference.

Inedia (Latin for 'fasting') or breatharianism (/brɛˈθɛəriənɪzəm/ breth-AIR-ee-ən-iz-əm) is the claimed ability for a person to live without consuming food, and in some cases water. It is a pseudoscientific practice, and several adherents of these practices have died from starvation or dehydration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inedia Are there any practicing masters of breatharianism alive today? If I wanted to learn these techniques are there good books or resources available?

The artwork in this is fantastic. Next level teaching aide.

In the Tao Te Ching thread there was a line that said something like... that which is eternal cannot be seen or heard. It made me think Qi energy may not be detectable by modern day science as it is eternal & exists outside of normal space time. There is definitely no shortage of interesting concepts as far as metaphysics goes.

"Lesson in Machismo." All the magic words you'll ever need.

Remember in Enter the Dragon. Bruce Lee says... "Chi. Power. It is like a finger pointing to the moon. Do not concentrate on that finger or you will miss out on all that heavenly glory." I'm not particular. People can discuss any type of qi they wish.

I try to learn something new every week. Over time improvement has been noticeable. This is something life coach gurus call self improvement. (Which fight club famously compared with mastication.) Recently, I have found a new adjective for this process. "Evolution." I feel like I am evolving. I wonder if this is a path God favors for His followers? It used to be common to debate: do you believe in evolution. I contend a person cannot truly believe in evolution unless they practice it as a lifestyle.

Was I the only one who read the title and thought of this.

A popular catchphrase of finance is to summarize the history of market and economic trends with: "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer". Does qi operate in a similar fashion. If qi attracts qi, then having a large pool of qi may make it easier to attract more? Which could be an advantage? In which case those with large quantities of qi, receive more qi. While those with smaller pools, tend to have qi be diminished over time? Small bodies of water like lakes and rivers are not affected by tides. The moon's tides will affect an ocean sized mass of water, but not smaller ones. Which could be yet another advantage for larger masses of energy? In which case, are there advantages to having a smaller quantity of qi that I am overlooking? I would definitely expect there to be some advantage yet cannot for the life of me find it. What observations and logical deductions can be made of qi based on natural principles and science? Let's have a deep philosophical discussion.
