Energy as Sustenance?, Have you ever used energy has "food"? Options

Has anyone ever used energy as a substitute for food? Before I continue, I'd like to advise that I am not talking about psychic vampirism, but literally taking pure phyiscal energy and using it in place of chow, like say, a cheeseburger.

Earlier this year, about February, I had run out of money and food and was living with a complete and utter pig. It was so bad that I had to pay rent, and have nothing left over after electricity. I was also practicing telekinesis at the time, when a thought struck me: if I can raise physical energy to move a needle, could I also use it in place of the food I'm lacking?

So I set down my meditation rug, cleared, grounded, centered, and raised as much physical energy as I could muster, more than I had ever raised for TK. It was so heavy, I was so used to regular energy that I had some trouble containing it. I gave the energy a positive, nutritious quality, and bound it to my tummy.

My tummy stopped rumbling, and I became "full" within 20 minutes. I felt refreshed, even after sleep, I felt stronger after a few hours, I felt fine. I only had to do this once a day, but I never had to eat any food. I lost some weight, but I didn't lose muscle mass. This kept me going for a few days, until I ate food - get this - not because the energy failed me, but because I couldn't stand going on with a crappy point in my life WITHOUT SOMETHING TASTY!!!

So who here has tried something like this, and how did it turn out?

The only energy food possesses is that which the soul gives unto it. I've heard this in many different forms from many different people.

On an off-note I've heard pythagoras required his students to fast for 40 days before receiving his most precious teaching (warning do not attempt).

I haven't heard something like this before, but what are you getting at? Does it mean that we only need to eat because we think we do, or what? o_O

Yeouch... I don't know if I could keep it going for that long. I've tried contacting him before, it seems like whoever needs to get a hold of him now needs to solve some kinda psycho extra-dimensional craptacular math problem of doom or some garbage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/swoon2.gif)

i remember some old newspaper article about a woman that sustains her body with nothing but energy (trough sunlight) ....aparently she was tested medicaly and doctors claim she did not eat anything for many years .....i dont know about validity of the story (it was in a decent paper tho)

...who knows! -mana? -food from the gods?

ps:if i find out more about her ill post

Mmm - a friend of mine linked me months ago to a website about a monk who hadn't eaten in years, and all the sustenance he took was from the sun at sunrise and sunset.

I did a little searching for you, so that you have a bit more than one sentence of information from myself:
http://www.chrysalisyog.homestead.com/manek.html
http://www.sungazing.com/home.html

Hopefully that gives you something to work with.

Very interesting, but plants use the sun so why do they need the nutrients from soil or fertilizer?

Did the sungazer go blind? all sounds like an incomplete story to me.

I heard of some Taoist masters who bit into a certain kind of bean, spat it out, and the energy released from it gave them sustenance instead of solid food.
By the way, would you be willing to share your technique for this, as it's a new one on me, and has kept me curious for quite a while now.

I have mentioned my technique in my original post... I've practiced it ever since, and I haven't changed the technique any.

Sungazing is somthing I had already looked into at the request of a good friend, but I can't practice it all. I don't have a location that is suitable, and I will be going into the Navy for basic training in May.

There are many more options to look through at the bottom of this page I posted.

I work with energy centers around my stomach to reduce hunger. I don't know if it actually gives me nurishment but it can help me in times when I can't eat.

In Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, he has a chapter on Therese Neumannn of Bavaria (1898- 19 ) who abstained from eating from 1923 onwards except for a consecrated wafer at mass every day. I think she lived well into the 1950's.

I've done this before but I don't recommend it, I've lived on sunlight for about a month, but my body needed somthing else besides light and colours. I need more water than what I was giving it, it need vitamins and minerals, it needed protein and oils, it needed sugars simple and complexe. I felt great while drawing energy from that great mass of energy; but in the end that wasn't enough and I sorta suffered the after math of my actions.

Jesus of Nazarath was able to perform this feat for his entire group. He made it so 1 fish and one loaf of bread sustained 12 hungry men...he even manifested wine from simple water. It is possible, it has been done.

It's definatly possible, as I've done it for one day (I know, I know, not exactly a scientific test, but it's true!) My
"technique" (which it isn't really) was just to absorb through my etheric body the surrounding earth current, and sunlight. In my minds eye, I raise my arms in the position of the Q.Cross, and pore breath the energy in. (Ambient, to Etheric, to Physical, and focus part of it inside my stomach, feeling my stomach absorb the needed energy to live, and that energy going into the rest of my body. The rest of the energy is breathed in directly).

Doing so took about 5-10min (not sure exactly, I was starving, lol!), and I repeated it at intervals (not sure how many, perhaps 4?)

Also, I've noticed that when doing the Q. Cross, or Solar Ritual (in particular), or just sucking up plain energy (In particular), it feels like I'm drinking liquid food, and being nourished therefrom. This is noticed more when there has been a fairly long absence from daily ritual. When you get a chance, drink the moon, it taste good (amongst other things).

-F.F. (Yes, I'm serious)
