Google Taoism.....
They are the true immortals....they have extenden their lifetime by a huge amount...the oldest one was 200 years orso if I'm not mistaken....but even the Taoist eventually came to the conclusion that being immortal in this world was nothing, so they realised to let go and so they ascended into heavens.

Ahh! That's so scary, Beka!! I was just reading this book called "the tao of pooh", about how winnie-the-pooh is a taoist....  basically taoism explained after his philosophy. It's really brilliant. Plus taoism represents my way of thinking fairly well most of the time... For example, I have always seen life as a sort of an educational place. I feel that our reason for living has allot to do with an education of the soul. That you're supposed to go through every day, picking up as much wisdom from your experiences and encounters as you possibly can. So that the reason we live, is basically to always improve ourselves, become better people, so that we can make a better world together. Also, I too believe that the further away from the universal laws we go, the further we'll be from harmony. My utopia is allot like the native american philosophies about living in harmony with nature, I guess. I mean... All these tall buildings, parkinglots and .... pavements... Are just grey, aren't they? I'd rather live in a beautiful forrest or meadow. And then die one day, when I felt it was time. What's the point in being immortal? It's like being stuck. Sure life can be great sometimes, but... it would be so boring if that was all there was to it all. No, the road has to be longer. That's what I believe, at least. oh sorry... I babble allot, don't I`?  I can't believe all the gibberish that emerges from my mouth sometimes. IP: Logged |

I just love learning, and would be frustrated to have to forget it all in another life, even though it'll be in my subconscious. Even after I feel I've learned everything, there is always something that takes me by surprise. 100 years isn't long enough to learn everything I want to know. I'm aiming for eternity. IP: Logged |

My sentiments exactly. Why lose all of one's accumulated knowledge through birth amnesia only to do it all over again?  ------------------

I was very scared of dying as a teenager. At the same time I occasionally used to wonder about the point of life. The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle. I think the point in life is to grab opportunities to do the things you'd really like to do; it's important to know oneself and have no regrets, learning from other people's mistakes as well as one's own. I myself do get a sense of wonderment about new interests and ways of doing things and I don't think that will ever leave me. IP: Logged |

A part of my life experience is the Longevity experience. I plan on living at least 500 years. Then I MIGHT want to check out.. but who knows ? Death will be a conscious act, once all my memories are back and I consciously choose a "place" to walk next.  Everything else has been a conscious choice, incarnating a soul (my baby), finding my partner (soul mate), a house (abode), career (mission) ect... why not death and choosing how long to live? Of course!  IP: Logged |

so i wanted to know what do you guys think about it? do you want to live forever based on what you have seen so far on this world??
To be honest, i'm very indecsive o.o .. I remember the place that I came from before my birth in this life, it was a planet with flowers and the sun was very close to it and it was always happy and never rained, the sun never went down, we gardened and did stuff like that , there was a lady that was a teacher , and the other "people" that were there were babies with wings ¢¾ So i already believe in past life, after life, pre life. Sometimes I don't want to life forever and sometimes no... ------------------

"All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman IP: Logged |
