One of the most important preparations a person can do to move in the direction of being more and more fed by the light is to do exactly what you are doing with this course. The change must first begin in the mind, at the level of the belief system. The first question that has to be asked is “Is it possible?” Then a belief that it is possible must follow. From Wiley’s website: “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, cells do not eat and the body is built of and sustained by the cells, and not by what man eats.”

One of my favorite of Wiley’s quotes is, “We don’t live because we eat food, we live in spite of the fact that we eat food.” That one stayed on my refrigerator for a long time.

In order to live on light, there must be a belief in a Higher Power and also a belief in individual co-creative ability with this Source or Power. Also, for most of us, it will be necessary to reprogram existing cellular thoughts and belief systems. An example of this would be our mother’s constant mantra, “You must eat!” along with, “You will catch your death of cold if you go outside with wet hair!” and, “You are going to break your neck!”(which was shouted upon any risk taking behavior at all).

In Ambassadors Of Light written by Jasmuheen in 2000, she has a section written by Dr. Juergen Buche, a physician of natural medicine with 15 years of experience in alternative cancer therapies, fasting and nature cures. He says, “To begin with, I found that daily affirmations are an absolute necessity in order to reinforce the paradigm of self-sufficiency with the SELF being the almighty I AM resident within you. I use the following: ‘I AM limitless Love. I am the perfect manifestation of the omnipotent, loving, divine and infinitely benevolent power of the universe which sustains me, nourishes me and heals me on all levels regardless of whether I eat or not. I AM continually renewed on all levels and I AM spiritually, mentally and emotionally balanced. I AM the perfect expression of divine and limitless Love.’” He claims that this affirmation will sustain and tune a person. One must be prepared to change, have no fear and dare to be different.

My mainstay mental program before, during and after the process was, “I command my body elemental that from this now moment you absorb all the vitamins, nutrients and nourishment required to maintain peak physical health from the pranic forces of the Universe.”

As you experiment with these affirmations, be aware of whatever thoughts come up to interfere with the new beliefs. For example, an interfering thought might be, “If I don’t eat I will be too thin.” Once awareness lights up a limiting thought, an antidote affirmation can then be created and practiced, such as, “My body is now attaining and maintaining it’s perfect weight.” With this affirmation, the body’s own natural wisdom about what is its ideal, healthy weight is acknowledged and accessed. This is a way to practice the belief that there is consciousness and wisdom in every cell. (For more information on Affirmations, see the UMS course Affirmations and Reprogramming.)

In the last year I have felt that the energy in the world in which we live has definitely shifted into a higher frequency. If I were to begin this process today, I would consider the energetic difference between making something happen in consciousness and allowing something to happen consciously. In the past energy of duality, I found it was important to really focus on my creations to the exclusion of any old programming and limiting beliefs. That is why repeated affirmations have been so beneficial in that energy. Now that we are more and more living in the newly created energy of oneness, I believe our skills of “allowing” have become the mainstay of the creative process. In his recent book, The Power Of Intention (2004) Wayne Dyer talks about intention as “a force in the universe that allows creation to take place.” Used from this perspective, setting our intention is a way of plugging into this force in the universe and allowing it to carry us along.

Dr. Dyer writes that the four steps of intention are: discipline, wisdom, love and surrender. In applying these to the creation of the breatharian lifestyle, we can view our first step as allowing ourselves to have the discipline to make the changes indicated. Through that discipline we are able to powerfully access wisdom that is born of experience. This wisdom then becomes our own truth, which acknowledges the information and experience of others but does not rely upon it. Once this is accomplished, the energy of love becomes our primary mode of interacting with the world, at which time we totally surrender into the experience of being fed by light.

There is a point, in the journey of living on light, when a person begins to realize that there is no longer a need to focus on thinking about the process of accessing prana. At this stage a person is able to know and feel that pranic nourishment is happening automatically. This awareness engenders a sense of safety and trust. At this point a clear and powerful statement of intention that is helpful and clarifying to me is “I intend that I am living my life as a free and sovereign being!”
