I have my reasons, which I will share later. What are yours?

What can I say?
I like it here. I like the people around me. I enjoy myself a lot.
Why leave a party where you are having a good time.
And as Woody Allen said
"I don't want to be immortal through my work.
I want to be immortal through not dying!

Why do I want to be Immortal? Because life is so Beautiful. Because I don't want to grow old, with all it's aches and pains. And just living, just being is more naturel than dying.

For me, I see reincarnation as an obstruction. I've amassed an unusual amount of somewhat secret knowledge, and it would be such a waste to cast off this shell and lose that.

I agree that reincarnation is a waste of time, when it isn't needed. I think I will manage to stay in my present being and evolve. People only die because their soul decides to do so, because they can't evolve anymore in their current situation(life), so they reborn into a new situation. I'll keep on going this time, and leave consciously if I would like to do so.

quite simply - there is still so very much to do and learn... i would really prefer not to have to go thru "birth amnesia" once again and forget chunks of myself... and i want to see the world around me changing and have tangible, concrete memories of what life was like a hundred years earlier...

Randall I totally agree!

Imagine being an expert geologist, doctor of medicine, psychiatry, marine biologist,musician,philanthropist,anthropologist,sociologist,economist,artist,scientologist :P...etc.....

What sort of concepts would be born in your mind then!!!
Having been there and done that,,,,how would you deliver it!

Having travelled every part of the world, understanding all cultures...how totally amazing would your experience be and how capable and self-reliant could a person be!

That's why I would like to be immortal

I have to be immortal; I hate the thought I might not be. One of my favourite sayings is:

"I plan on living forever. So far, so good."

I hate the thought of life going on without me, of my family and friends being able to exist if I wasn't there. My house and garden still standing and blooming without me. Conversations going on, that I can't hear or be part of, new developments made in the study of autism that I don't see... I am so nosey that I just cannot stand the idea that I won't be there anymore, to know what is going on.

I have travelled all over the world, for pleasure and as part of my job and I can find new adventures anywhere. I don't see the need to be re-incarnated to have adventure; I can do that easily within this lifetime. I create chaos and havoc wherever I go (I don't mean to, it just happens hehe) - so what is the point risking coming back as a water rat or dragonfly when I have such luck in my current life!?

I don't want to die. I just don't.

Same reasons as you, Randall, and you, Quinnie. Would love the opportunity to reach a level of maturity that can't be achieved in a single century, and it would be fascinating to track humanity's evolution over a few hundred or thousand years.

But it'll never happen if I don't quit smoking.

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

I want to educate myself and learn everything there is to know and read every book ever written. I want to meet my twin s-elf and I know deep in the silent tombs of my being that he is somewhere out there. I want to never forget who I am. I want to be here for that shining moment when this planet achieves it's destiny and becomes a perfect reflection of heaven, I especially want to be here for that.

Sometimes I think that maybe that I'm crazy and out of touch with reality to believe that immortality can be possible and that aging is not inevitable. I sometimes talk to people about this and they do not even seem to hear me. To be realistic my surroundings show me that my believes are pure fiction, but somewhere inside of me immortality is the ultimate truth. I am a very grounded person over all and does not lie to myself, like I actually see a lot of people do to themselves, so why would I lie to myself about this? I gotta be right :-) YES
