So many of us are looking for eternal youth, anything to prolong the duration of our lives here on earth, or even complete immortality. For centuries, the world has been obsessed with the notion of an elixir of life being within our reach. We’ve heard stories of the philosopher’s stone and alchemists worldwide creating concoctions, medicine men and women of indigenous cultures as spiritual healers, the tree of life or sacred trees used for harvesting life energies and creating longevity elixirs, to the White Hare mixing potions on the moon found in East Asian mythology, and many more.
I find the fixation on longevity fascinating. Why exactly do we, as a human race, want longevity in the human form? For those that are seeking it, would longevity buy you more time? If the answer is yes, then what exactly are you hoping to achieve with that ‘extra’ time?
Forever Young
I would love to be forever young. I know exactly what I would do with the additional time. I’m an explorer at heart. I love learning new things and finding out more and more about our beautiful planet. I would want to explore every nook and cranny of our earth and spend enough time at each point ensuring I have studied as much as I can. I would want to understand the interrelationships of all living things. I would want to learn everything there is to know about every single living structure on our planet to provide myself with the foundation to further explore all the unknown unknowns. And that would only be the start. Then I would want to go beyond our planet and start exploring the known unknowns and unknown unknowns of our universe.
To me, there is simply not enough ‘time’ to do all that in the duration of an average human lifespan. So extending that amount time infinitely would buy me the essential time. For me, the time would need to be infinite, as I would also have to factor in the time necessary for technology to catch up with my expectations to match my ambitious needs.
Don’t let your adventures, wishes or dreams ever fade away. Don’t wait for yet another day. The true elixir of life and longevity is living a life filled with purpose and following your passions. Why dream about what you are longing to do, yet spend all your time doing something that doesn’t contribute to your end desires? The reward for fulfilling wishes of wholesome intention is the secret to immortality. And when we are grateful, the earth loves us even more.
