With all this talk about immortality splattered across the news and the unique individuals possessing rare disorders which disallow them to age, it brings the topic of eternal life to the forefront of worldwide conversation and debate.  To many, immortality and eternal life sound like a tortuous idea of life-extension with no known escape, for others – it answers the long held belief in something thought possible in the quiet spaces of the mind, yet never vocalized for fear of ridicule.  There is one factor that may be crucial in the discussion of eternal life and longevity- and that is the way we speak.  Our languaging may contribute to the experience of an immortal existence based on the premise of quantum and meta-physics.

It is becoming more and more understood how the words we use affect us.  By constantly repeating negative ideas and beliefs, we are suggesting the very things -we do not wish to experience- to our cells and subconscious mind, no doubt perpetuating our fears.  Those suffering from illnesses such as cancer and other degenerative dis-eases, have shown marketed improvement and even miraculous healing by changing their mental chatter to positive affirmations and nourishing words.  World famous author Louise Hay healed herself from cancer by using positive affirmations as a main tool, and has since helped thousands of others with a multitude of ailments to do the same.

Dr. Emoto from Japan has documented how speaking positive words such as ‘joy’, ‘love’,’ peace’ and ‘kindness’ to water, the molecules themselves change from distortion to order.

So what about immortality?  Is death the same thing as a disease that needs curing?  Some would argue that death is a natural part of the life cycle; just as the seasons change, so we too must be birthed, mature, age and die.  But is this really true?  There are places on the planet such as Hawaii – often referred to as paradise – where the seasons do not change…life goes on blossoming in an endless procession of beauty, fragrance and warmth.  Can that be true for us as well?  It sounds much like the Christian Garden of Eden, before the ‘knowledge of good and evil’ existed.  Could the ‘evil’ referred to be knowledge of decay and death?  Are we really meant to ‘break-down’ and loose our faculties as so many people do?

If we take a look at the common language we hear and share not just in one culture, but largely throughout the world, most people speak of aging and death as though they are natural.  But what if we didn’t?  How many times have you heard an older person say ‘just wait until you’re my age’ or ‘first your sight goes, then your hearing’ ?  Advertisements and marketing for the senior population are all geared toward supporting a body that decays and loses functions.  People have come to expect it from aging.  You never hear ads about living forever, keeping your youth or hitting a new peak of health beyond age 70.  Why not?  Are we so conditioned to believe in death and decay that we think it wrong and useless to promote health and life-extension beyond a certain point?

What if we began to change our language around age and started to use words and ideas which could contribute to an attitude that included immortal existence as a possibility?  What would that sound like?
