Man’s Higher Consciousness，Longevity, Food and Breatharian

 Man’s Higher Consciousness，Longevity, Food and Breatharian

Summary : Professor Hilton Hotema considered that we could all live longer by promoting the body's functions with simple requirements of breathing fresh air, banning any cooked food, understand better the cosmos to human life, and by gradually lessening the amount of food consumed. Literature shows  that humans live over 120 years is practical in human history, with balanced diet, and discipline exercises. Despite the unknown accuracy and proportions of dietary needs, Man’s Higher Consciousness would be raised with better practice of breathing and sensible diet. 

I was surprised to see that humans know so little of our body and it’s functioning correctly. We are lost in this modern age to live with our body properly and need to know Ageing properly. 

The book “ Man’s Higher Consciousness “ was first published in 1962, Professor Hilton Hotema provides his insights into how we could all live longer by learning the body's simple requirements of breathing fresh air, avoiding animal flesh, banning any cooked food, and by gradually lessening the amount of food consumed. 

Hotema believed that breathing fresh air and consuming organic fruits and natural organic liquids alone could extend our lives and also lays bare his secret that what kills at an early age is not the illusion of time, but rather overeating, breathing in toxic, unclean air, and elements such as electronic radiation, dirty electricity and medications.

Hilton Hotema was born in Massachusetts on 1878,  he claimed to have become a vegan at age 9 after reading a book in school, and grew up to become a rather well-known writer and researcher on alternative health and spirituality.

The Book recorded a number of persons who lived over 120 years. 

The press of June 13th , 1922 , reported that Peter Nedall , of Bulgaria , ħad just celebrated his 124th birthday . He worked in the field and generally ate beans and milk.

James Edward Monroe  claimed to be the son of the 5th President of the United States & to have been born on the 4th ofm July in 1815 in Ashland, VA , died on 28 Jun 1949 (aged 133–134) .

Zaro Aga was a Kurdish man who claimed to be one of the longest-living persons ever. He claimed birth in 1764, and died on 29 June 1934[1] in Istanbul, Turkey. He was allegedly aged 170 when he died. However, an investigative report published by Walter Bowerman in 1939 indicated otherwise.

Janos Roven and his wife Sara were born in the little village of Stradova, Comitat , Casanseber, Banat of Temesvar , Hungary: and they both died there-Janos being 172 years old and Sara 164. The aged couple attracted considerable attention during the later years of the wedlock, and the Dutch envoy in Vienna visited them and had their pictures painted.

Janos Roven and his wife , Sarah , were married 147 years . They died in 1925 , almost on the same day . They left a son 116.

Thomas  Carn of 1588 - in the register of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, where it is recorded that he died in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, aged 207. He was born in 1381, in the reign of Richard II., lived in the reigns of ten sovereigns, and died in 1588.

It is said that the records of St. Leonhard's Church , London , Thomas Carn was born January 25th , 1588 , and died in 1795 at the age of 207.

Thomas Parr died in 1635, was an Englishman who was said to have lived for 152 years. He lived through the reigns of ten monarchs and was buried in Westminster Abbey by order of King Charles I. He kept a  diet of green cheese, onions, coarse bread, buttermilk or mild ale (cider on special occasions) and no smoking. His recipe for long life was reputed to be: Rise early, go soon to bed, and keep eyes open and mouth shut.

Henry Jenkins (buried on 9 December 1670 in Bolton-on-Swale, North Riding of Yorkshire) was an English supercentenarian  , said to have been 169 years old at his death. He claimed to have been born in 1501.

A  Chinese man lived 256 YEARS , which was published by The St. Louis Post - Dispatch of June 11 , 1933 ,the account was written by Keith Kerman " of the Post. 

Obituaries published in "Time" and "New York Times" in 1933, Li Qingyun died at the age of 256.

His true date of birth has never been determined. His claims are considered to be a myth by gerontologists. Li Ching-Yuen spent most of his life in the mountains and was skilled in Qigong.  He worked as a herbalist, and lived off a diet of these herbs and rice wine. 

One of Li's disciples said  when 130 years old , Master Li encountered in the mountains an older hermit, over 500 years old, who taught him Baguazhang and a set of Qigong with breathing instructions, movements training coordinated with specific sounds, and dietary recommendations.

The longevity of the biblical patriarchs noted  that the dietary law laid down in Genesis 1:29 - herbs and fruits.  It was said that the Bible Code contains, in code, the seed-bearing plants which existed in the Garden of Eden. The seven seed-bearing plants embedded in this verse are: barleygreen, wheat (grass), vine (grapes), dates, olives, figs, and pomegranates. The three food classes are there. (The Bible Code by Dr. Jeffry Satinover.)

It was said Plutarch, the Greek biographer, observed: “The ancient Greeks, before the time of Lycurgus, ate nothing but fruits. The ancient Britons, according to Plutarch, only began to grow old at 210. Their food consisted almost exclusively of acorns, berries, and water. The ancient Greeks of the pre-heroic age lived on oranges and olives.

The Bulgarians  often reach ages exceeding 105 and even up to 125. Their simple diet consists of fruits (sugar, vegetables (chlorophyll), and sour milk or buttermilk (fat). They are a thin people typically weighing between 122 and 130 pounds (56 and 59 kilograms). This again showed the truth that the less weight you carry the longer you live - we have yet to discover an obese centenarian.

Centenarians now has  emerged as a significant age group. Nutrition and hygiene have been major factors in the increasing longevity. 

While the number of aged humans, and the life expectancy, tended to increase since the 14th century , some early pioneers, such as Michel Eugène Chevreul, who himself lived to be 102, believed that aging itself should be a science to be studied. Élie Metchnikoff coined the term "gerontology" in 1903.

It was reported that “Husband and wife Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello believe that food and water aren’t necessary and humans can be sustained solely by the energy of the universe.

Castello and Ricardo — who have a 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter together — have survived on little else besides a piece of fruit or vegetable broth just three times per week since 2008.”

The ‘Breatharian’ couple survives on ‘the universe’s energy’ instead of food, reported by Lauren Windle, in the New York Post In  June 15, 2017 . 

Researchers have said  that eating fruits and veggies is the safest and healthiest way to combat dull complexions and fine lines.

Breatharians  claim that it’s possible to exist more or less without food and instead feed on cosmic energy.

Some say Breatharians are frauds, but there are also those who think their claims are genuine.
