A Return To Sun Worship?

[PrisonerOfHope]

We know that the ancient false religions are based on worship of the sun; we still see it today, in various religions, including Roman Catholicism. It seems to be becoming rapidly more prevalent; for example, this was posted in the comments on a story about the Los Alamos fires:

by chance that 30,000 containers of Nuclear s–t is in the path of a raging fire? a set up.68 square miles burns over night? M.L. not far away. who is looking after this stuff if they are evacuating everyone? we the people must demand to know. Dont be the herd. the herd goes to be butchered. hopefully the sun gods will help us.

I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of this kind of thing in the near future - especially with movies like Eat The Sun being produced:




SHORT SYNOPSIS

Mason is a modern day 'sungazer' and subject of Peter Sorcher’s award-winning and suspenseful documentary film that follows Mason on an unbelievable and often hilarious cross-country tour into the little known world of sungazing – an ancient practice of looking directly at the sun for a range of physical and spiritual benefits.

Throughout his journey, Mason is riddled with uncertainty. Will he damage his eyes? Is the man who inspires thousands lying? Will Mason succeed in his quest to uncover the truth? This captivating documentary will challenge your deepest held beliefs.

Is it possible to stare directly into the sun and not eat food? Meet Mason.

Eat The Sun is a feature length documentary that focuses on a young man’s journey into the little known world of sungazing -- an ancient practice of looking directly at the sun for long periods of time.

San Francisco, CA 2004: A flyer at school advertising a lecture by an elderly Indian gentleman sparks the imagination of a young man named Mason. The flyer reads: “You can become solar powered.” It also states that the Indian man giving the lecture, who goes by the acronym HRM, has not eaten in over 8 years, a direct result of sungazing.

Intrigued, Mason begins this simple practice along with a few other classmates. Everyday, in accordance with HRM’s protocol, they stand barefooted on the bare earth looking directly into the sun and every day they add 10 seconds to their sungazing time. The goal, according to HRM, is to reach 44 consecutive minutes of looking directly at the sun -- which could take 9 to 12 months to achieve -- at which time one would be “fully charged”, meaning not only cured of all mental and physical ailments but also now without the desire or need to eat food.

In many ancient civilizations -- from the Incas and Aztecs to the Greeks and Egyptians - this practice was exclusive to only the high priests and forbidden for ‘ordinary’ people. Today, with the help of the Internet, this revived practice is gathering global momentum.

Modern day sungazers claim a multitude of health benefits including better eyesight, enhanced vitality, weight loss and, in some more profound cases, a complete loss of the desire and need to eat food. The main theory of how this is possible focuses on the stimulation of the pineal gland from direct sunlight entering the brain via the eye – the only external expression of the brain - and traveling along the retinal-hypothalamic tract. (The pineal, once believed to have no function, is now considered a master gland, controlling the secretion of melatonin and serotonin). Brain scans of HRM, age 70, reveal a pineal gland 3 times the size of a normal man, despite his advanced age when the pineal tends to shrink. (Additionally, HRM was part of a 411-day medical study during which time he did not eat).

Of course, if you follow Mike Hoggard you'll know all about the pineal gland...

Intreresting choice of character name, and is it any wonder that staring at the sun makes you BLIND?

Good catch on the character name - it was really late, and I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

What's interesting is how these people claim they can go for years without eating:

The Catholics put the cookie in the monstrance, which represents the sun; supposedly some "saints" have gone without eating anything but the cookie for years:




Nourished only by the Eucharist

On 27 March 1942, a new phase began for Alexandrina which would continue for 13 years and seven months until her death. She received no nourishment of any kind except the Holy Eucharist, at one point weighing as few as 33 kilos (approximately 73 pounds).
