If a simple experiment can be devised to prove it, and the experiment fails beyond all rational doubt, it is most likely untrue.
Additionally, HRM himself said he was lying about not eating.This practice is referenced in many spiritual orders across the world, old and new. Are they all lying?
Just because there are many people saying that something is true
does not make it so. Reality does not bend to popular opinion.
I really don't have an opinion on this whole light for energy thing, for I do not have any real experience or information on it, but I have come across this subject multiple times including HRM and other monks/laypeople within articles and research dating back to the 1850's. I believe everyone should at least hear of these things to formulate their own beliefs.
Well, good sir, I believe in science. Science has an advantage over faith or belief: it can be
proven. And science has conclusively shown that it is impossible for the human body to go without any form of nutrition (and energy is NOT nutrition - converting matter to energy is the stuff of high-energy physics labs). Go look up what happened to victims of the concentration camps if you need any further proof.
Additionally, I'd like to see that research you refer to.
"I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than closed by belief."
I would also avoid considering thoroughly debunked ideas unless significant new evidence appears for them.
