Immortality is too short -- 150 years ?????

the only way to reach immortality is if you.....................................................................

I am aware of other methods seemingly more "esoteric" than merely looking at those who are "in the lime-light" and past the age of 150... but much like the Necronomicon the methods are hidden away and obscured, kept for those "adepts" to the knowledge.

But I think this is far beyond the mortal "immortality" that is being referred to here.

Aside from that, I think that with our current medical/scientific advances we can "naturally" extend life; we are coming to a grand understanding of the brain and it's illusions, along with our "reality's" chemical precisions and how slight variations in our brains chemistry can vastly change our objective and subjective opinions of reality.

I think modeling successful people is a fantastic idea, and people who have successfully made it past 150 years old while maintaining their youthful personality and hopefully their mobility will only provide better models for living and thinking while being alive, surprisingly many people who've made it past 100 have quite a unique and determined opinion of the world they live in and their part in it; some of them don't even regard their diet as the reason for their duration, some even smoke like chimneys, some aren't religious what-so-ever, some are.... The common ground is the threshing floor where we beat the differences down to the core elements, and we're left with the frame-work for a natural / mental approach to life extension.

Much of this has already been done via NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, helped along by Robert Dilts, Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls, etc.. and many others..

Great thread and I'm glad to be a part of living forever! lol

A very valid point. Tavallian (who I quoted in another threat entitled "I want Immortality") promotes the idea of a mental approach to life extension. And it is surely life EXTENSION which is on the table, rather than "immortality"? (No matter how long you live, what guarantee can you give me that you won't fall over and die the next day?)

I have read Ben Abbas blog site and I'm wary of his claims to have located someone who speaks ancient Aramaic (hope I spelt that correctly), because I DON'T think that immortality = being indestructible. For someone to live many centuries, they would have to overcome not only physical aging, but accidental injury, the chances of encountering which must surely be multiplied by virtue of living for so long?

What a load of crap.

And how boring would immortality be?

Ugh - same boring stuff.

Come on - living here once is enough of a trial.

another "threat"? oops, another "threaD", obviously.

Sorry 'bout that!

A guy up the street told me he was 300 years old. And some other random person claimed to be "in the system" for "several hundred years". This neighbor of mine runs a lot so maybe that's how he does it. I want to believe that a person could live for 300 years or more. But there isn't much evidence for that I don't think. Maybe ancient man lived that long but we have just regressed. DNA deterioration. I think I read a study about making rats live longer, but really they couldn't do it. They just turned on and off a gene that makes them age really fast, then turn it off and they recover to normal. But I bet the technology exists for the elite to extend their lives. Just look at stem cells. Injections Anyone?

We should have been living 1000 years but our genes does not allow us to.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand that comment - if our genes don't allow us to have a 1,000 year life-span, then what are you basing the assertion that "We should have been living 1000 years" on?

Can you explain please

Thanks for the info.

But 75 - 100 years is plenty of time for me Im onll 28 and im almost ready to go now, Life sucks i had my fun as a teenager.

hmm in a certain perspective we are already all immortals and physical death is not eternal death just a transition and change of energy states to the next. Can energy be destroyed? Because we are 100% energy right? Energy = Everything = MCsqaured. Look up the law of conservation of energy you may be pleasantly suprised...I think the egyptians knew this, supposedly their culture did not view death in the negative way our cultures today do. I think you have a fear of death, or fear of the unknown and change, I face the fear a lot myself but these are some of the thoughts that help ease such silly fears for me, truth is the way.

Immortality is only justified if you have many children. If you want to reincarnate, have more children, in other words.

it is written:



"Immortality is only just another way to die."

Leto II, the God-Emperor

i think he's confused longevity with immortality

hi there,

I've just joined this site to discuss immortals and immortality. So, poster, can you share more please? your video or full column or what have you, or is it up and i don't know how to access it? Any help would be appreciated here. I'm fascinated by the Comte de St Germain, and I absolutely believe that anything and everything is possible.

Hmm.. learning how to be immortal?

Good thing I already am
