That sounds so simple but that’s the way it is, with our thoughts changing neurotransmitters on a daily basis. If a man walks into a room with a gun, we think “threat”, and the brain releases norepinephrine. We become tense, alert, develop sweaty palms, and our heart beats faster. If he then bites the barrel of the gun, telling us the gun is actually chocolate, the brain rapidly changes its opinion and we relax and laugh — the joke is on us… We feel what we think! Positive thinking works. As the above example suggests, what we think about a situation actually creates our mood. Passed over for a promotion, we can either think we’ll never get ahead in this job (lowering serotonin and making us depressed) or assume that we are being held back for another promotion or job transfer (makes a better mood).”  -Dr. Joseph M. Carver PhD, “Emotional Memory Management: Positive Control Over Your Memory” Every single cell in the body has thousands of peptide receptors scattered around its surface.  When a peptide enters a receptor it sends a signal to the cell which actually alters its physical and chemical makeup.  If we are constantly bombarding our cells with the same negative attitudes, emotions, and beliefs, our biochemistry adapts by creating more receptor sites for those particular peptides.  This leaves less receptors for essentials like nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fluid exchange, detoxing and as a result we start becoming physically/chemically addicted to the peptides produced by our negative emotions. “We bring to ourselves situations that will fulfill the biochemical craving of the cells of our body by creating situations that meet our chemical needs.  And the addict will always need a little bit more in order to get a rush or a high of what they’re looking for chemically.  So my definition really means that if you can’t control your emotional state, you must be addicted to it … It’s biochemical.  Think about this.  Heroin uses the same receptor mechanisms on the cells that our emotional chemicals use.  It’s easy to see then that if we can be addicted to heroin then we can be addicted to any neural peptide, any emotion.”  -Dr. Joe Dispenza, “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Much like drug addicts, people often become physically/chemically addicted and dependent on various negative states of being such as depression, victimization, frustration, or jealousy.  Over time we crave more of the peptides we’re addicted to and create repetitive dramas in our lives in order to receive our next dose.  As this behavior continues and our unhealthy cells divide, they create sickly offspring with more receptors for neuropeptides, less receptors for essential nutrients, and become unable to carry on proper protein production. “Now, all aging is the result of improper protein production. What happens when we age? Our skin loses elasticity. Well, elastin is a protein. What happens to our enzymes? We don’t digest as well. What happens to our synovial fluid? Those are proteins that become brittle and stiff. What happens to our bones? They become thin. So all aging is a result of improper protein production. So then the question arises … does nutrition really have an effect if the cell doesn’t even have the receptor sites after years of emotional abuse to even receive or to let in the nutrients that are necessary for its health?” -JZ Knight, “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Here we see once again how negative thoughts/emotions/beliefs, especially habitual patterns, lead to physical disease and degeneration.  On the flip side however, living with positive, life-affirming, non-limiting thoughts/emotions/beliefs leads to physical health, wellness, and even miraculous supernormal abilities. One such ability of mind over matter is known as “Inedia” or “Breatharianism.”  While normal people die after a couple months without food, or a few days without water, breatharians have lived for years without either!  For example, a devout Christian named Therese Neumann did not eat or drink for 35 years.  In 1923 she began to drink only liquids and by 1927 she stopped even that.  Under the close eye of a medical doctor and four Franciscan nurses, she was watched 24 hours a day and confirmed not to have eaten or drank anything for 2 weeks with no ill-effects, dehydration or weight loss. “When the local bishop in Regensburg first learned of Neumann’s fast, he sent a commission into her home to investigate.  From July 14, 1927, to July 29, 1927, and under the supervision of a medical doctor named Seidl, four Franciscan nursing sisters scrutinized her every move.  They watched her day and night, and the water she used for washing and rinsing her mouth was carefully measured and weighed.  The sisters discovered several unusual things about Neumann.  She never went to the bathroom (even after a period of six weeks she only had one bowel movement, and the excrement, examined by a Dr. Reismanns, contained only a small amount of mucus and bile, but no traces of food).  She also showed no signs of dehydration, even though the average human expels about four hundred grams of water daily in the air he or she exhales, and a like amount through the pores.  And her weight remained constant … At the end of the inquiry Dr. Seidl and the sisters were completely convinced that Neumann had not eaten or drunk a thing for the entire fourteen days.  The test seems conclusive, for while the human body can survive two weeks without food, it can rarely survive half that time without water.  Yet this was nothing for Neumann; she did not eat or drink a thing for the next thirty-five years.”  -Michael Talbot, “The Holographic Universe” (153) Jainist Hira Ratan Manek claims not to have eaten anything since 1995.  He has been studied under controlled conditions by teams of scientists and doctors many times and was never observed to eat or drink at all.  One time he went 211 days under careful supervision, another time 411 days.  Even more impressive, 81 year-old Indian Sadhu Prahlad Jani claims not to have eaten or drunk anything for 70 years!  He was also studied carefully under 24 hour CCTV surveillance for weeks at a time by medical professionals and didn’t eat, drink, urinate, or deficate.  Many more examples of documented inedia can be found in Herbert Thurston’s book “The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism.” “In the 1970s, Jack Schwarz, a Dutch-born author and lecturer, astounded researchers in laboratories across the United States with his ability to willfully control his body’s internal biological processes.  In studies conducted at the Menninger Foundation, the University of California’s Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, and other, Schwarz astonished doctors by sticking mammoth six-inch sailmaker’s needles completely through his arms without bleeding, without flinching, and without producing beta brain waves (the type of brain waves normally produced when a person is in pain).  Even when the needles were removed, Schwarz still did not bleed, and the puncture holes closed tightly.  In addition, Schwarz altered his brain-wave rhythms at will, held burning cigarettes against his flesh without harming himself, and even carried live coals around in his hands … He believes anyone can learn voluntary control of their body and thus gain responsibility for his or her own health.”  -Michael Talbot, “The Holographic Universe” (102-3) In 1947, during public performances at the Corso Theater in Zurich, Mirin Dajo stunned audiences with his extreme piercings.  Dajo would have an assis
