Yup! I found another one. Another NutCaseOfTheWeek.

This week’s NCOTW’s name is Wiley Brooks.

Wiley Brooks is a Breatharian.

What is a Breatharian? A Breatharian is someone who thinks he/she doesn’t need food (including water). Ever.

Not only does the seventy year old Wiley Brooks not eat, he also sleeps only between one to seven hours per week.

Interested in such feats? Wiley once was willing to teach you all this for only $5000! However, at some point, he decided that only a select number (5) of billionaires were eligible for his teachings, and he would only charge them one million bucks each. He recently opened up his academy again (not many billionaires showed up, I guess) and now everyone who he deems ‘ready’ can get the training for a measly $100,000.

A few excerpts from his webpage:

A Breatharian is a person who can, under the proper conditions, live with or without eating physical food. 

Hm.. silly definition: what’s this “with or without’ about? I though Breatharianism was about ‘without’. Period.

And it doesn’t say how long they can go ‘with or without’ food. Heck, I can live without (see: no sneaky ‘or with’ even!) food too! Been doing it for the past two hours. And what is physical food anyway? As opposed to spiritual food or something?

Wiley also has some very interesting (I think .. I didn’t finish reading them) notions about our planet (Future Earth, Transition Earth, and, conveniently, a Fallback Earth: read all about it on his webpage!). Here’s a clarifying quote on that Fallback Earth thingee:

Fallback Earth is distinctly falling away in vibration. Even though there are people incarnate there whose personal vibrations are and still rising, the broad base of its population stands now a vibration level spanning the range between 2.10 and 3.25. The gap between Fallback and Transition is widening, and soon the two versions of future Earth will be entirely separated, except for crossover points in the etheric. 

I’d really be interested in seeing the actual equation that yielded a vibration level range of 2.10 to 3.25! I though it would be much higher (or lower .. whatever). Oh well, at least there will still be crossover points in the etheric when the two versions of future Earth are separated. That’s quite a relief. Phew!

Another deep delving quote:

Converting the human body from a food-based energy to direct cosmic (“free”) energy is like converting a fossil-fueled home furnace to an electric heat pump. The distribution equipment-the ductwork-that distributes energy throughout the body may be maintained in place and will continue to function, though the source of its energy has been completely changed. In order to accomplish this in our bodies, the mitochondria will have to be either phased out or retrained. 

I’m not sure I’m ‘ready’ yet to have my mitochondria phased out or retrained, but if you, my dear reader, are really interested in these enlightning teachings, you will have to hurry: his generous (“starts at an initial costs [sic] as low as“) $100,000 offer ends January 1st, 2007, see his announcement here.

And if, and only if, you’re ready, that wonderful course will include “a visit to Earth Prime in the 5th Dimension in your physical body“.

The only caveat: “All workshop applicants must be pre-qualified by the Breatharian Institute” (I presume that the pre-qualification process involves a look at your bank account).

And of course: “No Refunds”

My question to my readers: Is this guy a con man, or simply a severely delusional nutcase?

Wikipedia (quote: Wiley has stopped teaching in recent years, so he can “devote 100% of his time on solving the problem as to why he needed to eat some type of food to keep his physical body alive and allow his (5D) light body to manifest completely.” .. and .. In 1983 he was spotted leaving a Santa Cruz 7-Eleven with a Slurpee, hot dog and Twinkies.
He told Colors magazine in 2003 that he periodically breaks his Fasting with a Big Mac and Coke, explaining that when he’s surrounded by junk culture and foods, consuming them adds balance. )
