Slow time for a year or 20 Its not not quite a theory but
what happens?
I'd like to try it though proving its
success would be a trickier problem.

by Joe B. Steady State Lives Last time which I babbled about the half century mark and how its different for me and my generation as it will be for those coming up behind me if they survive their individual journeys taken to be there. People reaching 50 and beyond know more than I what lies in store whether its paying less for money, bus-train rides or cruise ships jaunts. There are perks to getting old but one better take care of themselves while getting there or they may have chronic pain,crippling disease or the dread wasting of mind malady of Alzheimer’s the last I do want to avoid with vengeance. I’m no science whiz but if life extension began on microscopic scale of a few human’s living slightly different to radically altering their life styles. It didn’t work but if it did how would know at 24 or 25 I still looked 14 at the time. There is lightheaded- ness,feeling sick and knowing I would not experiment with my life that way ever again. A "Steady State" life span is the technical Western equivalent of Eastern Guru’s do with their mind. Yogi’s can slow or speed up their heart at will,A Biofeedback machine helps westerners achieve a yogis’ mastery over their mental and physical states. In truth Biofeedback has not been used to see what the human brain can do or how far our minds can traverse the interior or exterior of our mental and physical selves. Steady State is the western flips side of eastern mysticism only applied science is thrown in to test for accuracy instead of pure faith. If one could if only slightly delay,retard,or stop aging for a year it means little but to be on the same regimen for 10,20,or 30 or more years then one can see where this leads. This isn’t immortality but the first faltering steps onto life extension. Now think of a yearly regimen done for 5,10,to 20 years. A person may have stopped aging but if will continue if and when the regimen is dropped going further there is enough knowledge gained so people can delay,retard,or stop aging for a full 50 years or more? Its still no where near immortality though time has slowed for this person as others age normally or what we use to think as normal. Now,stay with me folks, think of reversing the process year by year for 20 to 50 years or more as science and technology catches up with our genome and science is able to replace bad genes with good ones and later have improved man or woman made genes,cybernetics and nanotechnology. As with Cryonics [Freeze body after death for revival in a future when science can revive them in their original body,improve that body or have a newer improved cloned version ready for full brain or the electrochemical identity of the formally dead into a better genetically longer lasting body.) I know,"this guy’s already approaching senility,hogwash and bull droppings." To that I say you might be right but are you absolutely sure tomorrow will be the same as to day,that the next decade or so will be as it always is? Remember nuclear weapons,radio,CD’s,PC’, laptops,palm pilots,cell phones,VCR’s,and DVD’s we’re always with us. If your like me there’s little time to argue all one can do is find out ways to find their own regimens of stead state or the Ying/Yang balance points of body,mind, spirit,and soul. Health practitioner’s have written books, gone on PBS to inform people of paradigm shifts in health care and preventive medicine. Prevention is obviously a better way to go than being sick and paying to stay well. For all those out there seeing clearly you know it everyone for themselves at some point health care is individual if not job related or by disease jumping from animal, insects,mutating to human hosts. For those that comes to late they do need help from medical professions but for those of us on the fence its time to get off and take care of ourselves as best we can until our combined world wide applied sciences can take care of all the people equally. As for Governments, Multinational Corporations,the bottom line is sick,tired, overworked employees cannot be competitive asset only healthy ones with minds that are rewarded for innovative strategies keeps business on leading edge of competition. I have a more ideas but they may seem radical now soon it’ll make sense or sound so now. I hope you can add to this way more than I so the road to Utopia can begin on a less rocky clime,you know the drill folks,tell me what ‘cha got. Snail or Email Joe at: Email: askjoe@poormagazine.org |
