Life Can Be Way too Long

I had a totally enjoyable lunch meeting with a fairly new friend and a brand new friend last Thursday. Time flew, and my brain sizzled for hours afterward.

Then, I spent much longer on the phone than I intended the next day with one of the most inspiring and stimulating people I have ever known, which led to another conversation the following day with a brilliant and fascinating life extension scientist. I plan on all four being within my close circle of friends twenty years from now and beyond.

Those conversations crystallized a plan that has been brewing for a long time. This plan could integrate and put into motion diverse scientific approaches to extending your healthy life.

Why are these conversations so important to me? Why was I fired up the previous week after meeting with two active futurists who are working within the private space travel community?

Simply because most people either motivate you or deflate you. And every hour you spend with a motivator reduces time that you could spend with a deflator by one hour. So if you fill your time with motivators, you can’t be dragged down by what Gary Halbert used to refer to as “energy sucks”.

He said there are people who, when they walk into a room, would cause him to hear a huge sucking sound as the energy almost instantly drains from him. Gary avoided these types like the plague. He simply didn’t leave room in his life for them. He surrounded himself with energizers. That’s what most happy people do, often unconsciously.

Life is too short if you live a quality life, no matter how long you live. Life is too long without quality. Eventually, you’ll cry “enough”. Relationships contribute a lot to your quality of life. Obviously good health does too. Ditto for your ability to feed, clothe and educate yourself and your family and to be able to enjoy good entertainment and the newest technologies.

Life is good when your attitude is good. A positive outlook does wonders for your soul. And it’s proven to extend your life. Sure, it’s easier to maintain a good attitude when you’re surrounded by energy givers, when your health is vibrant and when you’re rich and free. But much comes from within regardless of your external conditions.

Did you ever stop to think that your relationships aren’t so hot because of your attitude? How about your health and your economic well-being? Relationships, health and money aren’t things you get for free. It’s a two way street buckaroo. Change yourself and marvel at how quickly your world changes. In fact, you may find that some, but not all, of those energy sucks are simply responding to your bad vibes and aren’t so draining after all.

If you haven’t done so recently, read Chapter 11 in Life Extension Express. That’s the chapter on Attitude, the 7th step toward radical life extension, and maybe the most important step of all. You can get a free downloadable copy at www.maxlife.org.

Whether you change your environment or need to change yourself… or whether you’re okay the way you are, life will be good, and you’ll want and deserve more of it. That’s what we’re working toward at Maximum Life Foundation – quality and quantity. You need both if you want to be optimally fulfilled. Long life will magnify what you have, so work on your quality while you can. Invest ten minutes on Chapter 11 now.

I think it is silly that so many people on this site object to the concept of a human or anthropomorphic God. Here's a thought experiment:

Say we beat aging and live for a very long time before meeting our respective ends by incident. You and I would have learned a great many things along with our similarly ageless colleagues. The short lifespan we've become accustomed to has already provided a Unified Theory of energy and we're perhaps very close to a Grand Unified Theory. We've already managed nuclear fission and fusion and are only decades (perhaps a couple centuries) away from deuterium-tritium reactors to provide renewable energy for the world. Advances in communications have connected the whole world with light-speed 2D and even 3D interfaces. Any internet-enabled person on the planet can share ideas only limited by speech and illustration instantly with any other. If one were confident he were to live for hundreds of years, he might make smarter investment decisions to ensure a hundred years or more of his later life could be dedicated to pur science. We would all be able to work on experiments and perhaps invent subspace communication or deep-space travel. If one were so inclined, he or she could leverage the work of many people to create a new planet by reorganizing the abundant matter in the universe, or simply find one. He could make it beautiful and plant life there, life of all kinds, including his own biological inventions and his own seed, children in his own image. He could teach them the basics of agriculture, instructing them to till the earth, and to multiply and replenish their new Earth. He could teach them his eons of wisdom if they would listen, and if he desired, he could give them the secrets to endless life. They would be able to accept information of their own free will and choice, or to reject the recipe with its time-taking effort in pursuit of short-term and temporal pursuits. They could pass it on, or not, to their own children. Perhaps the first people on this new Earth would love the idea, follow it, and depending on the compatibility of the new Earth with the old ways of maintining long life, they could live 900 years or more. If, however, they corrupted the new Earth in some way or another, or rejected the plan, they would be left to their own devices and live shorter lives full of fear and doubt. Perhaps the ageless father of this planet would return to give the recipe to ateachable member of the family every once in a while, to try and get things going again. Maybe sometimes he would want to start over or perhaps he could bring the successful among his children to come and live with him where he resides.

How far into the Old Testament should we go?

If things got really bad, he might even send a permanent emissary to the world, someone who had lived with him on a more successful world with harmonious principles, to share them with everyone. Maybe to make him seem more approachable the ageless father could cause him to be born of a woman from the new Earth, with half of his own longevitous genome so that he could have a natural predisposition to health and any other helpful traits the ageless civilization could breed into him, so that his stay there could be long and beneficial. He could use subspace communications to teach his son the way of long life, so he could deliver the news to the people of the New Earth when he and they were ready. Hopefully they would accept him; perhaps they would not.

How far into the New Testament should we go?

The goal of agelessness seems to be just such a breadth of human ability, and though you all may not want to follow a world-creating course of action, who's to say someone else would not try something like it? Our world would obviously be fully populated by then. Age defiance is precisely the platform for such a story as that oldest tale of our own planet, accepted and expounded (with variation) by every ancient civilization on this planet. These ancients were people closer to the beginning than we are now, and none of this information is at odds with accepted science in any way, shape, or form. Parhaps this world was created 6,000 years ago, perhaps a billion. I can't see why most religious people are bent on an exact number, given the symbolic nature of numbers in ancient scripture. The Bible itself says a day for God is myriad years for man.

So cheers to the billion-year old ball of dirt and its most recent inhabitants, the Humans. I hope everyone who reads this learns the plan for eternal life, which depends on worldwide cessation of war (born of the love of money and erroneous religious contrivances antithetical to the "recipe" as I have called it). If we love one another, we will have the cooperation that brings the stable life we've only begun to regain in some democracies. We will have the wealth of knowledge and resources prerequisite for the expensive endeavor that is age-defiance. I believe the surviving text from ancient times has many very important parts removed by accident and intent--some things we could all benefit from knowing. Yes, I'm talking about eternal life. Many cultures have talked about it, but if someone still remembered, he'd be able to walk up to us and tell us. Something tells me anyone like that was killed for the sake of gain... or jealousy. But my bet is on 60 pieces of silver.
