Just Say No to Aging?

Thank you Mr Herbert for such an interesting and important article.

I have found similiar results in my research, including finding people who have lived to 250 years and more.

I have journaled on my blog Ben-Abba.com and have been discussing on my podcast channel Achieving-Immortality.com

Here's the deal: human beings are not objects, but self-aware energy beings.
We are only subject to this concept of "aging" if we buy-into the mass mind
belief system about being separate objects subject to "time" and "aging".
Look into this - ponder it - meditate. Find your true "Self" - not the name/form
you identify with, but the pre-conceptual Awareness we all arise from.
Read "The Power of Now".
Simple equation: The degree to which you see yourself as a separate object =
is the degree to which you "age".

How we feel inside reflects on the outside every time. If one feels old, one will look old!

it is done unto you as you believe. Believe you are old, and you will be right. Believe that you are youthful and you are. Keep your mind focused on the good things of lie- and be grateful for them and you will take years off your life. Dressing younger is one way to feel younger but thinking younger is the best way-- it has nothing to do with the outer - it has everything to do with what you feed your mind.

This article confirms what I have been saying for years. I am 63 years young, and I still feel like I am 18 (and people consistently say I look no older than early 40's). I am on no medications of any kind, I wear glasses (magnifying lens bought at Wal Mart) only for reading tiny, tiny text, I play softball and other sports with my two sons (ages 11 and 16), I bike to work every day, I still drive a 5-speed sports car, and I walk anywhere that I do not bike if I can avoid driving. I still climb trees when I am so inclined (I used to spend a lot of time in trees when I was a kid). And no, I'm not going through a second childhood - I simply have not completed my first childhood. I actively trade stocks and foreign exchange online and have no plans to retire any time in the forseeable future I do computational scientific research in nanomaterials science and the biomolecular sciences. I have advanced degrees in physics, biochemistry, and economics and my free time not spent with my kids is spent writing several textbooks and studying anything that I want to learn more about (odd things such as plant-insect interactions in plant physiology).

What I have said for years is that I remain young, because I think of myself as young. Age has absolutely no meaning to me. I find it impossible to even envision myself as ever being old. I can only see myself as forever young. I simply refuse to age. Apparently, it works pretty well. The last physical exam I took, the physician made the following comment after getting my laboratory tests back: "If I didn't know whose tests these were, I would have guessed that they were those of a 16-year old male" (I was in my mid to late 50's at the time).

Mind over matter and mind over age - it's not just a myth. Perhaps in addition to the saying: "You're as old as you feel" we should include a second one: "You're as old as you want to be".

According to Indian Philosophy of Vedant, Mind does control, sustain the Body. Mind in turn is controlled by the Intellect and the Intellect by the Soul (Atman ). This is because each is subtller than the other. Meditation is the spiritual practice to identify with the Atman and thus Meditation can reverse/stall the age clock. However the Meditation has to be intense and prolonged. But why not accept old age and make the best use of it by Ageing Gracefully ?

I posted a guided mindfulness meditation so people can get started right away. I'm glad to see more attention on the benefits. I've been meditating fairly regularly for 35 years.

I posted a guided mindfulness meditation so people can get some practice right away. And I added something called bilateral sound that can be a good part of meditation. I started meditating 35 years ago. It's nice to see that there is more about this in the media now.

does it really matter earnestly as we are doomed in the ultimate reality in a physiical existential equation -the end RESULT is still going to be the same for all reversions of resurrections -
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE -
or you can become a mocked artefact in a museum like the pathetic egyptian pharoahs and their artefacts which are evidence of the same degenerate illusions of demetia praecox and flights fraught with fancy which crashed into louvre and bloomsbury square

Interesting. I am 50 and have been at a university for the last couple of years as an older student. I think it has changed me for the better also, despite having some disability from a car accident and partial paralysis. Nobody notices anymore when I walk.

I am also reminded of Bernie Siegel's work years ago where he pointed out that with cancer the strongest drug was attitude, regardless. This has been misunderstood as meaning that people die of cancer because they have a bad attitude. But really it means that people who can muster a good attitude do better in everything. But it's not simple. Sometimes demons have to be faced, or feelings have to be aired.

The key is meaning really. My observation is that many people, particularly more affluent people, systematically remove meaning and purpose from their lives. They think it is leisure, a vacation for the rest of their life. But vacations are supposed to be temporary. We all need time to recharge ourselves, relax. But we should, instead of thinking we are doing ourselves a favor by stripping our lives of everything - we should focus on something we want that has a purpose for us.

For instance - there are so many foster children needing good homes. That is just one thing.
