Getting a Jumpstart on “Living Forever”
Hold on …it’s most likely not what you think)
Hey are you trying to put me out of a job?
First of all, after two Nobel Prizes and a research project by 16 doctors from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Scripps Institute, Stanford and such other notable institutions, scientists are now predicting that within 24 months living forever (if you haven’t all ready succumbed to the programming which stems from the question, who wants to live forever in this body on this planet?) will be attainable for every person living today!
The challenge here is not science – and the science that made this startling announcement is molecular biology. The challenge is also neither religion nor philosophy; the challenge is to begin to understand a truth hidden in the opening paragraph above; and that truth points us to the limits we tend to place on anything with the minds of these body bags we occupy.
I have been writing on the theme of anti-aging almost from the day Ryan Bruce “helped build” this website over five years ago … and we have been tossing it around on podcasts not infrequently ever since.
Brad and his minions out harassing some Christians. "Faithless Perverts" they cry.
I have approached the topic from the point of a rather obscure passage about a rather obscure Jew, named Enoch, in the Christian Bible. The passage, in my oh-so humble opinion, wasn’t obscure in the intention of the particular writer (of the book of Hebrews), but rather from poor translation and interpretation by teachers of the Christian “faith” which, from my perspective is NON-faith and NON-belief! There I go again, attacking Christianity in all its subtle and not so subtle forms …organized, disorganized and unorganized varieties.
Why would I, a former licensed minister, ordained by the largest Christian denomination, of its kind, in the world, want to attack Christianity for being faithless?
Well, Jesus was recorded in the original language as referring to his own handpicked twelve disciples, literally, as being “a bunch of faithless perverts” for being unable to do something that the majority of people within most Christian denominations won’t even attempt to do – including some of their leaders, who also even make up doctrines which breed the disobedience and/or ignorance that keeps “believers” in the dark that Jesus even expects those who refer to themselves as followers of him, to be able to do.
This is a benign attack Brad, is this your intent?
At least the disciples were honest enough to ask him, “How come we couldn’t do it?” Implied in the exchange between Jay and the boys that followed their inquiry, is that they and Jay both clearly expected them to be able to do it as well …and Jay went on to tell them why they had been unable to do it, whereas most Christians, again, are merely ignorant.
My “attack,” therefore, compared to Jay’s could be called “benign” – quite gentle and harmless – and I certainly didn’t use the English word “perverts” and, while his attack was in a different language, that’s exactly what the word in the original language means.
STOP!!!
Because of critical, but loving comments, introduced by two long-time friends, my publisher, Ryan Bruce, and another guy who’s been “on my case” for over forty years and remains unnamed so that he doesn’t get strung up for being associated with the likes of Brad Cullen have forced me to make the following self-editorialized insert:
Perhaps ADD is really just a brain made for multitasking.
I’m admitting to two things here – first, that this mini-series of which this will be the opening segment will be extended a tad because I just came to the realization of a very limiting belief I’ve had about the ability of any of us to multi-task …here I am going on the attack about others being limited because they refuse to believe we can live “forever” when I have bought into a concept even crazier – that it is impossible to multi-task – FIDDLESTICKS AND BALDERDASH!!!! We’ll take a hard look, in a later segment, at just how ridiculous I’ve been in accepting this limiting belief as truth when it is totally UNTRUE …when looked at from a different perspective.
The second admission was prompted by the guy I shall refer to only as Dr. P so as not to reveal his true identity; what he said, basically, as I interpreted his words, was that my attack against Christianity was caused by an ego that had run amok – my paraphrase, but Ryan somewhat agreed, although from a different viewpoint: his remarks were; why single out Christians when adherents of Islam and Judaism were also just as guilty because they basically had the same scriptural reference source available to them…don’t we all.
Now that our readers are duly challenged, let’s continue onward, shall we? “Living forever” is something Jay introduced, but in the negative format, that is, “He that believes in me shall never die.”
If it was your choice, what would you do?
Now that science has come up with a pharmaceutical, breakthrough to accomplish the never-needing-to-die concept, I’m wondering how religion and philosophy will respond. I’m willing to bet that, in addition to raised eyebrows, there will be “deeply” ethical questions raised as well.
In January of 2015, doctors at Stanford used RNA therapy to reverse 25 years of aging in just a few days. They took 60-year-old human skin and muscle cells and made them 35 again! The research has caused Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard to state, “There is no limit on human lifespan.”
Here are are some publications regarding the above:

One question...if science can do it, can't God?
One investment journalist is already predicting that a certain pharmaceutical company is well along in the approval process of the FDA and that the chemical “switch” to turn back aging will be on the shelf inside of twenty-four months – soon, he quoted one researcher’s opinion, “the only way we’ll be able to tell the difference between a 90 year old and a 30 year old will be to ask them what year they were born.”
When Ryan and I first began discussing this, he made the point that science was already predicting that living forever in these physical cocoons we occupy – was a distinct probability within the next twenty years and believing it, therefore, should be no real stretch for anyone.
Living on this physical plane forever was not that to which I was attempting to awaken the world, but it was the starter phase.
I hope you wonder what’s coming next – as there are going to be additional segments, please stay tuned.
Hint as to where we’re headed in order for you to get a jumpstart on reverse aging is to begin believing that it is possible.
